concernedcompatriot:janecrockeyre:[Interview with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson on the Jonathan Ross show, ca. 2004, just after the release of SBaHJ 5 Electric Boogalive]The captions are a bit hard to read in spots so I wrote a transcription. There are slight edits to make it clear who’s talking for some of them but I tried to copy the dialogue verbatim.INTERVIEWER: Were there any director’s choices behind the scenes that you found sort of, difficult or impossible to follow?WILSON: Strider - he wasn’t that demanding, usually.STILLER: – usually.INTERVIEWER: But was there anything that made you think, wow, what?WILSON: There was the Olive Garden incident.STILLER: Right.INTERVIEWER: The Olive Garden incident?WILSON: Ben can explain it better than me.STILLER: Yeah, god, we were halfway through a scene where my character, Sweet Bro, is trying to order boneless water in an Olive Garden –STILLER: – and Strider takes me aside and says, listen, it’s not in the script but I need you to say something to the camera for me.STILLER: And I’m thinking, oh god, what kind of absolute nonsense is he going to get me to say now?STILLER: And he says, can you say something like: unburdened by accursed precognition, you who sit there idly, waiting for the world to rise over your head –STILLER: – do you comprehend the signs? Do you understand that you, all of us, have a sell-by date, and soon, someone will come to clean out the garbage?WILSON: It was pretty intense. It ended up being cut from the movie, actually.STILLER: Yeah. It’s a shame, because that felt like it was some of my best work, I think. -- source link
