(Catch up on Part I here.)

Lin_Manuel: Also: we got to celebrate with the #Brooklyn99

melissafumero: Just the best ❤️❤️❤️

Lin_Manuel: You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we’re dropping H*******s

Um, please:

From that interview:

You should have Guillermo del Toro direct an episode!
I’d love it! He can direct “Halloween”!

One-hundred percent he should.
I’d love that. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I love that. And Lin-Manuel Miranda should play one of Amy’s brothers!

It was just this crazy, overwhelming, heartwarming thing! And the thing that was really nice also was the things people said about the show – they were reacting consciously to the elements of the show that we try to make, but also try not to wave our hands and say, “we’re doing this.” People really responded to the fact that it’s a very diverse cast, that it feels very inclusive, that the jokes aren’t at the expense of characters. Those are all things we try to do and it was really heartwarming to see those were the things people liked about the show.
