00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,440

26

Speaker 5: not an extra though, No, it's a line that's right.

27
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 5: But because I had a line, it would really I

28
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 5: was really divided from the group because extras want to

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 5: have a line, and when you sit around and have

30
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 5: lunch with them, all they're talking about is movies they've done.

Speaker 5: get a line, because they said, oh, what are you

34
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,160
