There's a guy in the movie who plays Abel's like side, his friend.

Who, uh, who's also an uncut gems and his name is Mitchell Wenig.

And he, uh, met him in a diner in 2007 or something.

He shows up in the Sandler special and he's a, his job, he worked for HUD, the housing department in New York city.

And then he.

His hobby is he's an autograph collector.

This guy is in the movie.

And I saw him hovering and waiting outside Gwyneth's trailer with a folder and glossy images of her from Emma.

He goes, you think you think it's inappropriate?

I said, you're a co-star.

You want me to get the autograph?

He's like, no, I really want to be the one to get it because there's a specific place where she has to sign.
