They thought you were gonna divide the work. It comes from a pure place, which was in the old days, you know, you would just like... you know, some guy would put his mistress on as a writer or director and a thing. And so they're just trying to make sure of that. But the fact that we wrote together was helpful, that we had been writing together for so long.

I think it's a really interesting thing when you're directing somebody else's material because you have to, just like an actor, you have to really dig into every word and understand what do they want out of this. So we always do this session where we ask a bunch of stupid questions for like two hours.

Dan was talking about This Is Us while we were shooting Crazy Stupid Love. Are you serious? As a movie idea, I believe. Yes, yes, yes. But in my memory, it was just- It was a movie. I have this rough idea, and it was always the reveal at the end that you've been watching. Yeah. I don't want to spoil it for anybody. An interconnected family. That was the big reveal.
