The interesting was that he's been working on that idea, on that film - this was his last film - for a couple of years, the script. And finally, his associate, his director or person who makes the show and the event, you know, possible, he finally said to Tati, 'Tati, tomorrow or else, I'm quitting', you know? And next day, by God, he showed up with his crew and Tati had no choice now, he had to go out and start a film. But this guy, who was his right arm, he was the guy who got the money for the film and he would come to Hollywood. But Tati did not owe anybody any money. In other words... I don't know how those things are made but the associate, you know, came back with money from Hollywood. What they had to give back, I don't know. But the money was there, and so they moved. But he was a fun person, an interesting person. But always odd a little bit. A little bit odd, you know? Doing funny little moves and stuff like that. Yeah.
