00:00I have a lot of fond memories of that time.

00:03I also remember feeling hungry.

00:05Oh, wow.

00:06That's me and Leslie Mian and Tookie Tookie.

00:10I don't know who the big guy who looks like a steak is,

00:12but that's George of the Jungle.

00:15What do I remember about that?

00:17I remember that the bird had very pointy claws.

00:22Looking at that picture, I remember how funny Leslie was.

00:27I have a lot of fond memories of that time.

00:31I also remember feeling hungry.

00:34Oh, gosh.

00:35That's me and Sadie Sink.

00:37Well, first of all, that makes me think how lucky I was to work with an actress,

00:45young actress of her caliber, at such a soon stage in her growing career.

00:53I had a front row seat to watch this kid really give.

01:00She was then a kid.

01:01She's a proper young woman now.

01:03She's just terrific.

01:05Sadie's amazing.

01:06Now, I can't exactly tell you what I remember in this very moment,

01:09other than do your best to fit into this tiny seat and look like everybody else does.

01:14Eyes front, polite.

01:15Don't take up any more space than you need to.

01:17That and also, this was a real working train.

01:21So we, however it was, no pun intended, engineered to get from one station to several others,

01:27we had maybe, I don't know, three or four stops and a camera crew on it with some extras, of course.

01:33But the other cabins of the train were filled up with commuters, and we had to work super quick.

01:39It was a flurry of activity that is really true of the story of Randall Family.

01:47It's a movie that's, it's a love letter to loneliness.

01:53And it's addressed to Tokyo anywhere and sealed to the cherry blossom kiss.
