Transcript
00:00Weekend at Bernie's, what's like a behind-the-scenes moment from that movie?
00:03Oh, just so much of it, we just sort of made it up as we went along.
00:06It's like, well, let's just throw him over the rail.
00:08Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's throw him over the rail.
00:10And then somebody said, what if Tide washed him out?
00:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13You know, and so much of it was just off the cuff.
00:15And we actually thought it was hysterical why we were making it.
00:18Usually, if you think you're funny on the set, it's not very funny.
00:20But, you know, I was in a hotel about six months ago,
00:23and I turned on the TV, and I heard some voices, and I'm like, what is that?
00:26And it was me in Weekend at Bernie's.
00:28I hadn't seen the movie in decades.
00:30And I watched the last 20 minutes with, you know, the boat thing where we're driving,
00:33and this ridiculous ending, and I laughed my brains off.
00:36I just thought it was hysterical.
00:37I thought, I'm genius in this movie.
00:39You were.
00:40I thought it was great.
00:41It was fantastic.
00:42Terry was amazing because we just threw him around.
00:45I mean, we did break a couple of his ribs at one point,
00:47and then he was heavily medicated, you know?
00:49But he just let us do whatever he wanted.
00:51He kept that smirk on his face the whole time, and it was just a blast.
