point out to the audience two things that you said that I wanted them to think about some more one is you were talking about intercutting the knife fight and Ethan in the alley and how you kept Ethan's longer and the knife fight shorter and that pays off later because what happens in the alley emotionally is more important at the end of the film yes

you're absolutely

right so you can't shortchange you can't go oh the whole thing's too long let's shorten the alley let's shorten the knife fight you got to go no the alley's too important to shorten that absolutely right yeah yeah Eddie I've taken way too much of your time and I'm sure the art of the cut audience is excited to have that much time with you explaining these great things about the movie what a great ride congratulations oh thank you so much I listen every week I love the show it's always a pleasure to
