After Mr. Harrigan passes away, Craig continues using the phone and calling Mr.
Very involved. He wanted to stay out of the way and let me do my thing, but he let me know that he was there for me, and so I started taking advantage of that. When I finished the script, we sent it off to Stephen, and it's like, "Oh, I hope he likes it," because he can just give us a thumbs down, and we're done. But he loved the script. And so from that point on, we had an email and phone relationship that was really, really helpful and great.
