And Lou says to Sunny, I don't think I'm going to make it.

So please tie my body to the coolers.

to get me home.

And Sonny goes, I'm not going to tie your body to the cooler.

I am going to shove you in that cooler and I'm going to bring you home no matter what.

I did one book called The Finest Hours that became a Disney movie and followed that up with A Storm Too Soon.

So this has kind of been in my wheelhouse, if you will, but I like to diversify and every now and then go off the charts.
