And, you know, I talked to Marcus in the hotel and he remembers one specific thing he'd like me to do.

And so Murph was pushing himself up with his rifle, climbing up this rock.

So I'm like, that's really all I want to make sure for Marcus's sake that I get that in.

And he's like, yeah, yeah, we're going to shoot this in a parking lot.

uh at just outside uh on off the highway in albuquerque and i'm like yeah right and he's like no no i want to control the light and have a beautiful landscape behind murph and i'm like pete you you're fucking killing me we're gonna do this in a fucking parking lot and so it was my last day as murph

And I love music.

I'll always have a playlist for whatever character.

And Explosions in the Sky, who's Austin, who was at the time Austin-based, great guys, and Pete uses them all the time.

Um, and they're just acoustic, no lyrics, which is, they're fucking amazing.

And so there's one song that has a heartbeat in it.

And that was my song for Murph and it slows down in it.

And so I go, you know, like prepping in the, in the trailer, I walked down through this fucking parking lot and I'm like, Oh dude, I'm not in it.

I'm not ready for this.

And then I'm getting mad at Pete for putting me in a parking lot to do this shit.

I'm looking at fucking Sandia hotel, uh,

Getting ready to go like this most epic death on, you know, it doesn't get more epic than that guy, really.

Put in the tunes and they built this big stage that was like four feet high and the rocks and then surrounded it by green screen.

And cameras on the Phantom camera, which is that uber slow motion, that's where you see the spit coming out of Murph's mouth and all this.

And I just broke down, like just I puddled myself right before it was just like months and months and months of thinking about it.

And, uh, and prepping and putting so much pressure.
