Well, Kate and I met in what is one of the great fantasy meetings of all time. I mean, almost every guy I meet says, wow, you lived the dream. So we met on a flight to London. She was working for Virgin Atlantic, and she was part of the cabin crew. She looked good in red.

We struck up a nice conversation, and I was at a very big crossroads in my life. I knew my life was changing. I'd gotten this—I'd just finished doing this show called Hank, which was—and we always say this now. This is for the next book. This is the story. Stuff like this is for the next book. So I'd finished filming this show called Hank. which was a terrible show. It wasn't funny.

So I'd finished filming this show called Hank. which was a terrible show. It wasn't funny.

It was supposed to be funny. It was just ghastly. And I had actually called Peter over to Warner Brothers, and I said, Peter, we've got to put a bullet in this thing. I mean, we have to kill this show. He said, I can't. I can't kill it. We've got obligations to foreign sales and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I thought, please, please.

And sure enough, the next day, Steve from ABC called and said, I'm putting a bullet in this show. It's got to go. I was like, thank God. And 35 minutes later, I got a call from Barry Weisler in New York City saying, I got this show. We're going to bring it over to Broadway. I want you to be in it. Fly to London. Can you get on a plane in a couple of days and go see it?

And we'll talk about you doing it there. And that was it. And I knew my life was changing. I thought, it's changing. And then I met Kate. And recently, we went to... It was one of the, there was just an invited screening of a couple of the Chosen series, and we saw our friends there, and a guy walks up to me and says, hey, you remember me?

And I was, you know, loathe to say no, because I don't like to hurt anybody's feelings, but I did not really remember him. But then he said, I was on that flight when you and Kate met.

I started thinking, I remember sort of chatting a bit with some guys like, you know, by the bar. Kate was in and out a bit. She was doing her job. But he told me that I said to him, I think I'm going to marry that girl.

I didn't really remember saying that to him, but it did make sense to me. I remember thinking it at one point. So maybe that's what happened. So I got to London. These are all off-glides, but they're fun. I was staying at the Mandarin Oriental. And it used to be the Hyde Park Hotel, I think. Maybe I shouldn't mention anything else, except I walked in. I stopped at the concierge.

The concierge said, hello. Oh, hello, Mr. Grandma. And there was a girl. She was like 10 feet tall and with a Russian accent. And I thought, whoa. And he looked at me as she walked away. And he said, anything at all you need, Mr. Grandma, anything. Oh.

the hotel, and as I walked downstairs at the appointed hour, I looked in and I saw a bunch of the same kind of people, and I thought, that is not the place to take a girl on a first date.
