Yeah, yeah. He got in real tight with it, and I think he had some experiences while he was doing it. He suffered a little, you know. Didn't he get struck by lightning? Well, there's two times there was these lightning strikes happening on the set, you know. And there was this guy with him. He was a young fella, one of the assistants on the film. His name was...

Jan, and old Jan was like, he's like six foot two, Italian, northern Italian guy, you know. If he tripped in the street, women would slide under him, you know. It was that kind of stuff. The guy was like a babe magnet, right? And I think he was taking full advantage of the gifts he had. But... He got hit by lightning the first time getting people.

We were out on the hill, and there was a lightning storm, like with the crosses and stuff. Oh, Jesus. And this guy called Chieppo, he was a grip, and he never spoke a word to me the whole time. He was just a quiet kind of guy. And I figured, oh, he doesn't know English, so, you know.

But he came up to me, and in perfect English, he said, you know, I think you should get all the people off the hill. We could be struck by lightning. And I thought, oh, that's a good idea. Let's get off the hill. So we're moving off the hill. Everybody's getting off. And this kid gets hit through the umbrella, this Jan guy. He gets zapped by lightning, right? But he's 22.

And he goes to the disco all night and dances. You know, he's doing the whole, you know, 22 experience. And he comes back the next day. He's like, yeah, it was great. And then he was with Jim the second time it happened. But this time, I found him in a Fiat Bambino with his knees up around his ears, like waiting for the third strike. He was like, this just doesn't happen twice in the third strike.
