Peter/John Love #5: Dance for us, Peter, dance!
 

Welcome to the appreciation thread for Peter Benedict, Grace's conservative, off-putting employer, and John Slattery, the under-appreciated actor who plays him. Feel free to discuss anything related to this wonderful actor and man! :love:

:love: Hotpants Love :love:

With John it's not just the looks that we care about! He's hilarious and incredibly intelligent, which is very appealing! He can make complex dialogues sound natural when he's acting and has a certain presence about him that just makes you want to be around him all the time. We've also heard from numerous sources that he his an incredibly nice guy! He likes baseball which is A-O-K with those of us who like the NYY b/c it's always fun to have rivalries! John also has incredible talent! Before we grow old and die we will make it a life goal for all of us John fans to see him during a play of some sort in New York (Broadway or Off B-Way). We bet it would be amazing to see him in the theater. On screen John can go from the film medium to tv and make it look natural. Last but not least.....He is the most gorgeous man alive!!!!!!!!!!!

Quotes:

Pilot:
(Jack spies someone moving into the President's house and hands the keyboard to Bobby)
Bobby: That's where the college president lives. The new one's moving in soon. Mom says he's a money-grubbing whore.

(Outside the party, Grace walks into a man)
Grace: Oh, gosh.
Peter: Sorry.
Grace: Sorry.
Peter: The party still going on?
Grace: Oh, God, save yourself. If you came for the entertainment, you're out of luck. That windbag Benedict? Didn't even bother to show up. And the rest of them? Embalmed.
Peter: Really, that bad, huh?
Grace: Worse, but hey. Party hearty.
Peter: You walking home?
Grace: Huh?
Peter: Alone?
Grace: The muggers are all students, they'd be scared to attack me.
Peter: Oh, wait a second. I'll walk with you.
Grace: What? Miss your first faculty party?
Peter: Well, like you said, the old windbag didn't even show up. What kind of party's that?
Grace: (Smiling) Okay.

Grace:Then they had to go and hire this President Benedict, this money grubbing whore. His sole talent is for streamlining and revenue increase! I mean, a University is not a widget company!
Peter: No!
Grace:No! And what has this guy ever done, except make money and destroy departments, right? Oh, but he looks good on paper! He's got his MBA, he's got his unblemished record!
Peter: What *has* this guy done?
Grace: I don't know, I can't recite the specifics, but he was one of the six faceless candidates on the shortlist, you know, each one less distinguished than the last. And I know enough to know what was in his CV. Ugh, please. A vast, safe banality all the decrepit trustees could embrace. Oh yeah, I know this guy.
Peter: Wow.

Peter: I'm Peter. Benedict. But! My friends? All call me the money grubbing whore. Goodnight, Grace.

Better Days:
Peter: Grace, I'm a Republican, I'm not a Communist. Say whatever you want.
Grace: Oh, God. You're a Republican?!

Friends With Benefits:
Peter (to Grace): Well, my first reaction is Rage, just 'throw-you-out-of-my-office Rage', but let's talk about my second reaction: Bewilderment!

:lol: You'd have loved all the John..........

I DO

:lmao:

How many scenes was he in?? What all happened?? :D

I think he was in two scenes. One with Grace, and the other with Bobby. I really liked Peter tonight and I know that he appreciated Bobby's picture gift. I thought he was tearing up for a minute there. John did a great job.

Aww! :back_hug: :kiss: Amazing!!

2 scenes? Eh, I'll take it! Hey it's better than none! :nod: :thumbs_up:

And he was so sweet.....kinda funny, talking about Tom. :lol: He knows Grace so well........

What all did he say about Tom??

He just saw Grace looking around, and said something about Tom not being there. :lol: He knew right off what she was thinking. Then he got into his whole I'm-Peter-who-really-really-likes-Grace mode, and.....:blush:

Where were they at where Grace would think Tom was there?? I have millions of questions. :) What was Grace's reaction to Peter when he told her he liked her??

They were at a sports complex dedication, kinda like in The First Lady, and Tom's dad was there apparently... I'll let Cat cover Grace's reaction, for I have no idea... I think I zoned out on the Tom mention.
