And she says, what's the significance of the bathtub?
He's saying there's something about a bathtub.
And then she says, you know, Craig, Monty just told me that he's been trying to get you in here for 20 years.
And I'm sort of, this doesn't quite sink in, but a week later I get an invitation from Paul, the guy who lives in Monty's house, and he says, listen, I know this may be a little morbid, but do you want to spend the night in Monty's bedroom?
So the following Wednesday,
I have a dinner party at Monty's house.
My friends come over, and at midnight they all leave, and I go up to Monty's bedroom, and I'm there.
I've been led all this way.
And I'm looking at the tub, and I'm thinking, oh, I've got to get into the tub.
I mean, he was a method actor.
He'd want to feel what it felt like to be him.
So I go in the bathroom, I get in the tub, and I lay back and I'm looking at this air vent.
And it's this very sacred moment, you know.
And I'm looking at this air vent thinking that's the last thing he saw alive.
And while I'm laying there, I'm thinking, you know, I remember what Josanne said about 20 years ago.
You know, he's been with you for 20 years.
And then it hit me, like my face.
When I was 19, I had a massive reconstructive surgery to my face.
I had a genetic disfigurement to my jaw, and I had years worth of operations to rebuild my face.
