00:00I had my wife when I was directing an episode, and she and her friends were like,
00:03well, we want to be on. If you're the director, they can't say no.
00:05And so I'm like, okay, so we'll get you in.
00:07This is a long con. This is why she married you.
00:09Yeah, exactly. This is how she was going to get into the Screen Actors Guild.
00:12Sure.
00:12So they have a scene where there's this guy coming into a restaurant,
00:16and he starts shooting up the place, and everyone freaks out and panics,
00:19and they're running away.
00:21I'm watching the playback after we did the take,
00:23because there's hundreds of people there.
00:25This one group of girls comes right through,
00:27and they're all laughing hysterically.
00:29And they're still carrying their real champagne
00:33that they had ordered themselves.
00:35And I look back, and the DP comes to me and goes,
00:37hey, Chris, you know, they're all laughing at us.
00:39So if I go, yeah, I know, that's my wife.
00:42We're going to handle that.
00:43So I went back and go, guys, you're going to get me fired.
00:46So you need to cooperate here,
00:47and maybe when the guy starts firing a gun, it's not that funny.
00:51That's all.
