00:13You know, Stack is going to be in red throughout the movie and Smoke's going to be in blue.

00:17That's the easiest way to tell him apart.

00:19I mean, the film takes place over one day.

00:21So these are the outfits of the day, but there's definitely some color story going on.

00:26Smoke doesn't smile often.

00:28You know, if you smiling, more than likely to stack, you know, a hundred times out of

00:49That's a beautiful performance you put down.
