QUESTION, ARE YOU DRESSED AS A NINJA ON A FLIGHT TO L.A., IF
SO, I MIGHT BE SITTING NEXT TO YOU.

( LAUGHTER ) >> IT WAS ONLY WHEN I HEARD HIM
SAY "FINISH HIM"!
I SAID, HOLD ON A SECOND, IS THAT YOU?
>> Stephen: WERE YOU NEAR HIM?
VERY CLOSE.
I SAW HIM WHEN I GOT ON THE PLANE.
ONE I THOUGHT IT WAS PATTON OSWALT, AND THANK GOD PATTON
OSWALT IS THE FIRST NINJA I'M EVER GOING TO MEET.
>> Stephen: YES.
THAT'S THE GUY YOU WOULD WANT TO BE A NINJA.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT HIM AS A NINJA.
>> NO, I WAS WATCHING "AS GOOD AS IT GETS," A AND IT WAS ALL
OVER.
>> Stephen: SPEAKING OF FAMOUS FRIENDS, WHICH WE ARE.
>> YEAH,.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE MY FAMOUS FRIEND.
>> YOU ARE.
>> Stephen: IS THAT RIGHT?
YEAH.
>> Stephen: I SAID IS HIS WIFE GOING TO BE THERE?
>> ALL THE PEOPLE ARE, LIKE, THAT IS HORRIFYING.
BY THE WAY I WOULD ONLY GO IF IT WAS MY WIFE, TOO.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
AND YOU SAID NO, AND I JOKINGLY SAID --
>> I DON'T WANT TO BE A THIRD WHEEL.
AND I WAS, LIKE, YEAH -- OR I DID WANT TO BE A THIRD WHEEL --
>> Stephen: NO, I SAID YOUR WIFE IS THE DRAW, NOT YOU.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND I WAS OBVIOUSLY JUST JOKING.
( LAUGHTER ) >> SEE, WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THE
CAMERA, IT FEELS -- >> Stephen: WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU -- ( LAUGHTER )
-- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
COULD I SEE YOUR TAKE TO CAMERA?
>> I ONLY MADE A LIFE OUT OF IT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )
YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR THAT ONE.
YOU WALKED.
>> Stephen: YEAH, I HEAR GOOD THINGS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
IT'S YOU AND RYAN REYNOLDS.
>> THAT'S RYAN REYNOLDS.
>> Stephen: AND AN OWL.
NO, IT'S NOT JUST AN OWL, IT'S HOOT.
>> Stephen: IT'S HOOT?
NO, I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU KNOW IT'S A HE.
>> YES, BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD THAT WE WERE GIVING OFF A VERY
LOVING MALE ENERGY AND HE WAS DIGGING IT.
>> Stephen: YEAH, WHAT WERE YOU GUYS DOING WITH A GIANT OWL?
I WOULD BE AFRAID TO PUT MY FACE THAT CLOSE TO AN OWL BECAUSE
LOOK AT THE CLAWS ON THAT THING.
HE WOULD TAKE YOUR EYEBALLS RIRIGHT OUT.
>> WHICH IS WEIRDLY EXACTLY WHAT WE ASKED THE GUY.
WE TURNED INTO 14-YEAR-OLD BOYS.
BASICALLY HIS DAUGHTER HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY, WE BROUGHT OUR
DAUGHTERS OVER, THERE WERE ANIMALS, THE KIDS SAW A
CHINCHILLA AND EXPLODED, SO ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS WEREN'TT BEING
PLAYED WITH, SO THERE WAS THE OWL AND RYAN AND I NEWSLED IT,
AND 12-YEAR-OLDS WERE, LIKE, COULD IT SCRATCH OUR EYEBALLS
OUT?
THE GUY IS LIKE, DEFINITELY, YOU SHOULD MOVE AWAY, HA HA HA, AND
THAT WAS THE SATURDAY ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: SPEAKING OF THE LOVELY, HERE ARE YOU AND YOUR
LOVELY WIFE.
LAST NIGHT AT THE PREMIERE TO HAVE THE LOVELY FILM, YOU WROTE
AND DIRECTED A "A QUIET PLACE PART 2".
I DON'T DO WELL WITH THE SCARING.
>> I NEVER LIKED HORROR MOVIES TILL I WROTE AND DIRECTED ONE.
I RECOMMENDED IT TO EVERYONE.
>> Stephen: LIKELY?
I WAS SCARRED BY THE '80s AND '90s WHICH WAS THE BIG
SLASHER ERA.
>> Stephen: A LOT OF SCREAM.
NO, BEFORE SCREAM.
IT WAS JASON, FREDDY, FREDDY SEVEN, FREDDY NINE.
ALL SCARED ME.
SO I HIT BECAUSE ON THAT IN MY BRAIN.
I WENT TO A BLACK HOLE OF I'LL NEVER WATCH A SCARY MOVIE AGAIN.
THIS CAME TO ME AND I THOUGHT, MAYBE I'LL REWRITE AND DIRECT
THIS THING AND IT TURNED OUT ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: DID IT PICK UP WHERE THE LAST ONE LEFT OFF?
>> YES, I WASN'T GOING TO DO A SEQUEL.
IT SOUNDS INSANE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE POSTER, BUT THE FIRST ONE
I WROTE AS A LOVE LETTER TO MY CHILDREN.
IT'S VERY TRUE.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, IT'S A DEEPER THEME FOR ME ABOUT
PARENTHOOD AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR YOUR KIDS AND I CRIED EVERY
DAY WRITING EVERY PAGE AND ON THIS ONE I WAS, LIKE, I COULD
NEVER DO A SECOND ONE AND IT WILL NEVER BE PERSONAL UNLESS I
DO THIS TINY IDEA AND MAKE THE LITTLE GIRL THE LEAD AND --
( LAUGHTER ) I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH THE
SCRIPT.
THE LEAD IS TREMENDOUS AND SHE BASICALLY PICKS UP ON THE THEMES
OF FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS AND, YOU KNOW, THE RELIANCE ON FAMILY
AND HOW IMPORTANT FAMILY IS.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
AND THEN YOU GET SCARED OUT OF YOUR MIND.
>> Stephen: ANDETH STILL THE QUIET THING.
>> IT'S STILL A QUIET AND A PLACE.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, GOT.
YEAH ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: I HEARD PEOPLE WATCHING MOVIES DON'T WANT TO
MAKE NOISE WHEN THEY'RE WATCHING IT BECAUSE THEY GET SO SWEPT UP
IN IT THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE A NOISE.
>> THAT'S THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT.
I NEVER SAW IT COMING.
I WAS AT THE PREMIERE.
THE UP WITH GUY SAYS, OH, THE MOVIE IS SO GOOD.
THERE SHE IS.
I SAID, WHO?
AND HE SAYS, THE LADY WHO WAS EATING HER POPCORN!
AND HE WASO ANGRY.
AND I WAS, LIKE, NO, SHE WAS OKAY.
>> Stephen: TOO LOUD.
TOO LOUD.
THEY WERE, LIKE, YOU'RE GOIG TO KILL US ALL!
( LAUGHTER ) I SAID, IT'S FAKE, IT'S FAKE!
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK.
SO SORRY.
PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY, BACK WITH MORE JOHN KRASINSKI, EVERYBODY!
