The original pilot script [ of "Mary and Jane"], we literally just wrote for fun. It was, let's just do this.

Part of the fun of them being a delivery service is that they go to different areas episode to episode. We do have an episode in the beach and there is an episode in the luxury rehab. It's all different kinds of things we are making fun of in LA.
