Hannibal: *makes heart for Will out of man that seductively and not-so-subtly tried to replace Will as a murder husband*
Hannibal: I did this because no one can replace you, Will.
Hannibal: But it’s also my broken heart, Will. Because you’re an asshole.
Hannibal: But it’s also a valentine. Because I miss you.
Hannibal: But it’s also a heart – a ‘hart’ – because stags are our thing – you remember the stag right? the girl I killed for you and maybe framed you for later? those were good times – but also because you’re ‘deer’ to me – get it? You know I can’t resist a pun.
Thanks to the food styling gods, the scene is held up a bit while Mads and the director discuss an alternative to the samurai egg master trick described in the script. They settle on a potato trick– it’s easier for the set dresser to pick up a slashed potato than it is to wipe smashed raw egg off everything after each take. So now, I have to find a couple dozen identically shaped potatoes and peel them for the knife trick. — œuf
We are more than a bit concerned with the Benihana egg trick called for in the script. I’ve tried it and can only get it 1 out of 4 tries, and I’ve seen Benihana chefs flub the manoeuver when they have an entire grill as target. Mads has to crack his eggs into a 8-inch diameter skillet. The props Master calls his guy. The Production Manager calls in his guy. I call my guy. On the morning of the shoot we have 8 dozen eggs and 3 Japanese chefs with their hands made up to be hand doubles. I guess I don’t have to tell you that when Mads arrives on set, I briefly describe the egg trick to him whereupon he just tosses an egg up in the air and breaks it perfectly on the spatula. Did it. Unbelievable. I insist it was a lucky fluke but he does it again. I accuse him of practicing when I wasn’t looking but he laughs (as if he has time to practise egg-cracking between scenes) and confesses he was a juggler in his youth.— mukozuke
