Do you know you're on to something at
00:00:01
the time when you when you're shooting
00:00:02
it or?
00:00:03
>> No.
00:00:03

00:00:05
absolute winner?
00:00:06
>> Cast and crew screening when we all went
00:00:09
back to the SPQRO and we all went back
00:00:10
there and no one was talking. It was
00:00:12
dead quiet. That's when I said, "Look
00:00:15
around. I was talking to someone. Look
00:00:17
around. No one's talking. We're all just
00:00:18
quiet." And we're the ones that made it.
00:00:20
And so it affected us. It affected us in

00:00:24
after that? Did you need any counseling
00:00:26
or any therapy or anything? I went
00:00:27
straight back to Shortland Street and
00:00:28
started swearing at everybody.
00:00:30
>> You're not in Guatemala now, Dr.
