00:00Joe, one of the scenes that like really shook me when I was watching the movie was the scene in the second part where Jesse's character shoots your character's hand.
00:09I was wondering if you could break down what it was like filming that scene and what you guys talked about when it came to how you all reacted to that moment going down.
00:17It was a joy.
00:19I had a long one to happen.
00:21It was, yeah, but, you know, it was pretty fun.
00:24Yeah, it's not every day you get shot in the hand and then licked by Jesse Plemons.
00:33But it was great.
00:34You have, you know, there was in technical terms, you have like a, I guess, a rig of a tube that runs up your body and down your arm.
00:41And I think they did actually make a prosthetic arm for me.

00:47And the tube gets kind of somehow disguised on your hand.
00:51And then, you know, he pulls the trigger.

01:04He's weirdly strong.
01:05It's such a visceral thing that happens afterward.
01:07And then he decides to lick your hand.
01:09What went into that decision?
01:10Was it scripted or was it something you guys came up with on the day?
01:13That was definitely scripted.
01:15I should say that wasn't scripted.
01:17You know what, that wasn't scripted.
01:19That took me by surprise.
01:21And I'm still getting out of that.
01:23I don't know.
01:25I don't know.
01:26I think he's an old guy.
01:28I think he's going to get out of it.
01:29He's going to be a little bigger than that.
01:30And he's not going to be like,
01:31you know, you know,
01:32a nice little guy.
01:33You
