Ethan Hawke

That's embarrassing for me.

I'm supposed to know.

But when you said you could remember it, then all of a sudden it went out of my head.

Yeah.

That scene is exactly what I'm talking about.

Because that's Mahershala Ali, Kevin Bacon, and myself in a very well-written scene.

And those two guys are so easy to act with.

It is so easy to disappear with them.

We did that scene over and over and over again, 15,000 different ways, and I always loved it.

And, you know, I had a temper tantrum that day on set, because your body... You're winding your body up in such a way that it's like an emotional currency or something.

You have this thing you're going to spend, but your body doesn't know it's fake.

And if you do it right...

You trick your body into believing that I'm begging for my child's life.

I'm not acting.

I'm begging Kevin Bacon for my child's life, and he's going to decide whether or not my child gets to live.

And if you can get that going, shit starts to happen to you, things you don't plan.

And if Kevin is good, which he is, and Marshall is good, then they're doing the same thing.

If he gives me this thing that I need, he's putting his wife at risk.

You're not gonna do it.

I don't care about your kid, you know?
