Because you can't... recreate what we made. You can't write it. Imagine trying to write it when a lot of the writing just happened. It wasn't on the page so much, even though some of it was and some of it was terrific and the world was terrific. You go, do that again. You go, it doesn't work like that. Even in the most well-written

You could take Larry Gelbart or Neil Simon or any of the brilliant writers and try to duplicate Tootsie. You couldn't do it again. So imagine trying to do that. So obviously, we were never going to do it. Then for years, I thought, don't touch that. Leave that alone, man. That's a little piece. You just leave that alone. Don't touch it.

worked so well together and I liked him so much that every once in a while I would go, what do you think? And the answer was, nah. And then it started getting more interesting to me and I suggested I'd like to do that again. Then that time passed and then I thought it was done.

And then these guys kind of got it and went, whoa, this could be good. So Tim started talking to me about it. He had to finish something. And so to answer your question, then you say, okay, I'm in.
