Yeah, with Mia Tillery and thing, I had learned 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.199 a full house I transfer and I was able to 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.520 get her to do all kinds of behavior and also 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:07.920 having my own girls. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:09.720 Right, yeah, you had your two daughter.

This is what we need, 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.640 is what we need out of her? So I get 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.760 her to say what she needed to say, and I 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.360 also would get her to behave the way she needed 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:32.439 to do. So we did have one scene where she 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.520 was supposed to pull on a curtain and it was 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.600 like a Rube Goldberg. Everything would fall. No, it's special 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.440 if I said it on. So how do we get 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.240 her to do that? And what happened was she used 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.680 to come out and you know, you know, I. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.199 Had my lanyard and I kept my pen there. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.439 She'd always play with my pen. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.200 So I took my pen and I taped it behind 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.760 the curtain and I showed her that it was there 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.280 over and reached for it and we had. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:02.760 The shop. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.480 Perfect.
