00:40.8
00:45.6

00:50.6
00:55.4
I don't know where I'd be, probably doing a guest spot on Starsky & Hutch.
00:55.5
01:00.3
That's a good question, I don't know.
01:00.4
01:05.2
I've been so lucky every step of the way, that if you changed just one thing, it wouldn't have happened.
01:05.3
01:10.1
With this murder. mystery, comedy movie, we also get a political turn. Was their a message there?
01:10.2
01:15.0
Look, their's an old saying, if you want to deliver a message, call Western Union.
01:15.1
01:19.9
That said, there is a parrallel to a period piece like this.
01:20.0
01:24.8
This represnts the era, globab warming, things like that.
01:24.9
01:29.7
that people are trying to deny or supress.
01:29.8
01:34.6
We're not making a statement here.
01:34.7
01:39.5
we're just suggesting it's always going to be this way
01:39.6
01:44.4
with two schmucks who have the balls to stand up to it
01:54.3
01:59.1
you're a private investigator?
My profession is complicated, ok.
01:59.2
02:04.0
it's nuanced.
02:04.1
02:08.9
that's a lot of blood
02:09.0
02:13.8
your character march takes a beating, physically and emotionally.
02:13.9
02:18.7
Did you enjoy playing that kind of character?
02:18.8
02:23.6
I did, I've always wanted to do physical comedy.
02:23.7
02:28.5
It's my favorite kind of movie
02:28.6
02:33.4
I always though "I'll be a fan of those, but will never be in one".
02:33.5
02:38.3
working on this was a dream
02:38.4
02:43.2
Angourie was amazing in this.
She's incredible!
02:43.3
02:48.1

02:48.2
02:53.0

02:53.1
02:57.9
she wasn't intimidated at all
02:58.0
03:02.8

03:02.9
03:07.7
very strong ideas
03:07.8
03:12.6

03:12.7
03:27.3
and charge money? How much to beat up my friend?
03:27.4
03:32.2
you're character a defined code that moves around.
So you mean he has a loose code?
03:32.3
03:37.1
well he does learn
03:37.2
03:42.0
so his code is being loose?
03:42.1
03:46.9
He has his own rules, but grows. In that sense, did you create a backstory for him?
03:47.0
03:51.8
we do get to see a small portion.
03:51.9
03:56.7
you can see his personality in his apartment. where he'll not own multiple things, just one of each.
04:01.7
04:06.5
He was a navy man, by way of sandiego
04:06.6
04:11.4
very north-east america in personality
04:26.2
04:31.0
he's put together, but very sad
04:31.1
04:35.9
which is traditional
04:40.9
04:45.7
much like clowns
04:50.7
04:55.5
which both of these characters somewhat portray.
05:00.5
05:05.3
if you scrape away the surface
05:05.4
05:10.2
these are a type of sad fellows
05:15.2
05:20.0
possibly not where they talk to a giant bee though
05:20.1
05:24.9

...I'm sorry...
05:39.7
05:44.5
Is this the first time you played a straight killer?
05:44.6
05:49.4
yeah, I mean I was in a series where I played a rounabout killer.
05:49.5
05:54.3
but, yeah, in this movie, yeah
05:54.4
05:59.2

05:59.3
06:04.1
When shane black write it, yes!
06:04.2
06:09.0

06:28.6
It was really fun
06:28.7
06:33.5
this isnt you, you're not a murderer
06:33.6
06:38.4
yeah, but I mean deep down.
