I love it. Yeah. Let me make some phone calls. And that's how you make the phone call. I was doing something here in Atlanta. I walked out of a coffee shop. I get a phone call from T. He's like, we're doing it. And I want to do it. Just like that. Just like that. I fall on my knees and I just like screaming. People are like, Tika, are you okay? Now it's like you're in the middle of the street.

Because when this movie comes out, everybody want to go there. No. It's so beautiful. The fact that they built a replica... of where we went. Literally, I went and cried.
