It was a privilege to do because I met with this wonderful producer about this project that I really wanted to do.

And he's like,

you're not right for this project.

And I think they ended up offering it to like John Hamm or something like that.

So it's like, okay, I get it.

He goes, but you know, just the other day, this script came in and you'd be really perfect for it.

He handed me this 180 page script about EMS workers and just a night from hell.

These EMTs, it's funny, it's sad.

And it was all based on real experiences of one of the co-writers of the script, Patrick.

And yeah,

There was so much potential in this script.

It was incredible.

I laughed until I cried.

I cried until I cried.

And it just opened my eyes to the dilemma that this script was getting at, which is exactly what you're talking about.

Um, so over time we, we condensed it down to about 120 pages.

We, we, we cut out the, the, some of the, the flabbier bits and to get to do a movie that is entertaining.

Like it's a good, if you just want to go laugh and be entertained and have some popcorn at a movie theater, great.

Code three is gonna, is gonna rock.

but it also is about something.
