No, but I would argue that that approach that you developed for yourself was certainly a more kind approach, but maybe even a better approach because it really... You are demanding creativity without demanding it. You're locking arms with these guys and saying, we're on the same team. Can you help me out?

But I think, I mean, I guess it's a kind of, you took her advice, as it were, and you interpreted it for yourself. And I think that's a great lesson. I'm so glad to hear that your thoughtful approach to making a better show, you know, because it's not always perfect. That first pass at a script is often in need of a lot of work, right? Exactly.

It's a fantastic show. I was watching it, and I was watching the intro number that you do, We Belong Together, which I love that number.

But let me tell you what I was struck by.
