You got the insurance money?" And Jenny says, "No doubt, no doubt. And then it says "pan over to a tree behind which Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa are hiding." Then I say, "Okay, they bought it. Jenny: Is it anything like what happened?īen: All it says in the script is, "pan over, there is the Rabbi played by Dave King." Which is amazing. The “Don’t Be Suspicious” scene itself-did you guys improvise that? Was it choreographed?īen: I found the script. It was like how they dress babies, but adults. And Ben is also going to be in a denim outfit or whatever. Jenny: Well then they leaned into it and the wardrobe department, they would be like, so Jenny, you're going to be wearing this denim cap.

It really felt like we got onto just a turbo thing once we became those characters.īen: Great stupid outfits, and sometimes matching stupid outfits. Jenny: Well, once you start, you just can't stop it. We tried to harmonize once and then started doing it every time. Fantastic." And then we tried to harmonize. You said "Really?" And I go, "Yeah, I just sing a little bit." And you go, "Great. Great." That was literally what happened. And I know that everyone's used to it, but it felt so heartbreaking.īen: I remember also saying, "Hey, sometimes when I play this character, I sing a little bit" and you go, "Got it. And I just remember thinking, I watched this, I know that they do this to Jerry.
