Reynolds’ contribution to It Ends With Us came as a surprise to Hall, telling People in an interview, “There were a couple of little things that I thought had been improvised. Like when he says, ‘Pretty please with a cherry on top,’ and she talks about the maraschino cherries. When I saw a cut I was like, ‘Oh, that’s cute. That must have been a cute improvised thing.’ So if I’m being told that Ryan wrote that, then great, how wonderful.”
Hall said that she noticed “a few little flourishes” that she didn’t write and had “assumed they had been improvised on set.”

“But, again, like I said, the moments that I felt like needed to be honored are there,” she added. “So I recognize the scene and I’m proud of the scene. And if those flourishes came from Ryan, I think that’s wonderful.”
