00:00I, yeah, I ruined it. I laughed and it was ruined and it was unusable because of me.

00:05I thought it was over three days.

00:07Yes, that's why, because I ruined it.

00:09No, no, it was very hard not to laugh because everyone was just going down the line and doing their thing

00:16and it was so fun and that was one of the great experiences of my life.

00:21I have to ask finally, how on earth did the dinner party scene come to fruition?

00:26I think I'd written a lot of the movies as sequences of small scenes

00:29and I got to that point in the movie and I, you know, I was a playwright for a long time

00:33and I went, I just want to write 20 pages and not stop

00:36and then I just did it in a day and I was like, oh, that was fun

00:42and then someone read it and went, it is fun.

00:45How did you keep a straight face during the dinner party?

00:47I didn't.

00:49We all broke many, many times

00:52and thank God there was just one, one take where we weren't breaking.
