We all know how funny HBO’s Veep is, but what would happen if the stars had no script?

That’s what we wanted to find out when they sat down with Yahoo TV ahead of the Paley Center for Media’s recent “Evening With the Cast of Veep.” And so, we asked them to improvise the outline for a very special episode.

We gave Timothy Simons (Jonah Ryan) a starting point — there’s a power outage at the White House — and told him to take the plot wherever he’d like. “And Jonah decides to start slipping notes into ladies’ pockets,” he said proudly.

Watch the video above to see how, one-by-one, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (President Selina Meyer), Anna Chlumsky (Amy Brookheimer), Matt Walsh (Mike McLintock), and Gary Cole (Kent Davison) each added to the mildly TV-MA story.

In the video below, we quiz the cast to see who remembers the comedy’s classic insults best.

And if you haven’t watched their full Paley panel, now’s your chance:

Veep airs Sundays at 10:30 p.m. on HBO.
