  • think that's so funny."

  • - I wasn't making any sense. It was just crazy.

  • - And did you drive each other crazy

  • about, like, who would bring more cake to the set.

  • [both talking at once]

  • - Trying to, like, one-up each other.

  • and of course, I would sometimes make her do stuff

  • for the-- with the guests--

  • both: The crew. - Yeah.

  • [laughter]

  • - She's smiling about it. What did you do?

  • - Something internal. - Yeah.

  • Something with internal bleeding.

  • - Yeah, it was-- - What happened?

  • - Like, I thought my appendix had burst.

  • - I push her, and I push her, but I kept telling her,

  • "I think I'm pushing you too hard,"

  • and she's like, "No, do it real."

  • I took, like, in the-- I like this in the sofa,

  • and I popped her ovary.

  • - You popped her ovary? - I popped her ovary.

  • - Is that what they said in the hospital?
