0:00.0	We're talking about the film. Okay. Stop it. No, no, it's not that good. It's really, some of them are... Raine's team wanted me to pass along a message. He's totally fine to talk about the office, but it doesn't want it to be a main focus in the interview and appreciate... It's not a main focus. We're talking about... We're talking about the Bacadavida. That's pretty true. They glean that. I'm happy to talk about the office.
0:22.3	Well, no.
0:23.2	I want to talk about your new film, Code 3. You know how you talked about the Midwestern person saying thank you and not really meaning it? I'm so interested in hearing about your new movie tell us about your movie
