Another is a woman played by Barbara Galgettis, who later was the matriarch on Dallas.

She plays a pregnant woman.

Her husband's a cop.

He comes home and tells her that he wants a divorce, but she can keep the baby because he's fallen in love with a younger woman and he just wants to leave.

So she tells him he's had a bad day at work.

He's upset.

He's probably hungry.

Let her make him some dinner and then they can discuss it.

And she pulls out a frozen leg of lamb from the freezer.

And instead of cooking it, she hits him over the head with it and kills him.

Then she puts it in the oven and serves it to the cops who come looking for the murder weapon.

That's just, you know, that's just classic.

I also asked David about Dahl's other most famous filmmaking association after Hitchcock.

And that, of course, is with Wes Anderson.

he found a kindred spirit.

Again, it's sort of like when a director or a writer finds somebody else that speaks in a similar voice, it's just a marriage that works.

And so those four stories that Wes Anderson did for Netflix, I thought were wonderful and very complicated.

where you wouldn't think you'd be able to lift them off the page successfully, because it was a narrator talking about a story that then goes into another story, and then that story, there's somebody in there telling another story.

And then visually, it's so amazing.

I can't imagine Roald Dahl, the spirit of Roald Dahl, not being happy with those adaptations.
