Gibbs: MY NAME IS GEORGE GIBBS.
I HAD A REPUTATION IN THE FILM INDUSTRY AS "ONE TAKE GEORGE."
ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING FILMS I'VE EVER WORKED ON
WAS "INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM."
WE WENT TO SRI LANKA.
WE HAD TO BUILD THIS BRIDGE
THAT HARRISON FORD HAD TO CUT IN THE FILM.
WE STARTED AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING, GETTING READY.
WE GOT EVERYTHING PREPARED --
GOT THE CABLE CUTTERS FOR THE BRIDGE,
AND WE GOT ALL THE WIRES GOING OUT
TO OUR BOXES AND BATTERIES AND EVERYTHING.
AND WORD GOT 'ROUND WE'RE GONNA BLOW THIS BRIDGE,
'CAUSE EVERYBODY'S BEEN COMING THERE TO SEE IT BEING BUILT.
JUST BETWEEN US AND THE DAM WAS A BAILEY BRIDGE.
IT WAS COVERED WITH PEOPLE.
I MEAN, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.
HARRISON FORD SAID, "I THINK THAT BRIDGE BACK THERE'S
GONNA GO BEFORE YOURS, GEORGE." [ LAUGHS ]
HE SAID, "THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE ON IT."
THE NIGHT BEFORE, I SAID TO STEVEN,
"WHATEVER YOU DO, IF YOU STOP CAMERAS,
DON'T SHOUT OUT, 'CUT.'
JUST SHOUT OUT, 'STOP CAMERAS,'
'CAUSE I MIGHT GO AND CUT THE BRIDGE."
AND WE HAD 10 CAMERAS, AND THEY WERE ALL WINDING UP,
GETTING READY, ALL IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS.
ALL WERE YELLING OUT, "SPEED," "SPEED," "SPEED."
"ALL SET TO GO."
AND THE SUN DISAPPEARED, AND STEVEN SHOUTED OUT,
"STOP CAMERAS, STOP CAMERAS."
AND IT ALL WENT LIKE AN ECHO THROUGH THE VALLEY.
[ Echoing ] "STOP CAMERAS, STOP CAMERAS."
OH, IT WAS DAUNTING. IT WAS SO QUIET.
AND THEN A GAP IN THE CLOUDS CAME AGAIN.
STEVEN SAID, "ALL RIGHT, TURN OVER. WE'RE GONNA GO NOW."
AND JUST AS WE ALL GOT SPEED, THE CLOUDS CAME AGAIN.
STEVEN SAID, "WELL, I'M GONNA HAVE ANOTHER TRY."
HE SAYS, "I'M GONNA GO, WHETHER THE SUN SHINES OR NOT.
I'VE GOT TO GO." [ LAUGHS ]
AND AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT,
WE GOT SPEED, THERE WAS A GAP IN THE CLOUDS,
AND WE CUT THE BRIDGE,
AND IT WENT, "CLICK, CLICK," [LAUGHS] "CLICK, CLICK."
IT WAS AN AMAZING SCENE.
THE DUMMIES WERE SORT OF LEFT IN SUSPENSION,
ALL THROWING THEIR ARMS AROUND.
EVERYBODY CLAPPED. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THEY WERE ALL CONGRATULATION ME.
AND I THINK THE REASON THEY WERE SO PLEASED --
I SHOT IT BEFORE LUNCH. [ LAUGHS ]
