A lot. [Laughs] Awholelot for a lot of different reasons. For a lot of somewhat obvious reasons. Iknewit would do well. There’s no way I knew it would do this well. But for years, I never understood, just from a cold-hearted business point of view, why they wouldn’t pull the trigger on what I would say was about the only thing I would wanna do again is that movie.I made a push for it for a few years there. Then I would have years where I didn’t think about it at all, or I’d say, “Yeah, I think we missed it, so let’s just not worry about it anymore.” But I always knew. I think the only reason you know some of this stuff is you’ll be out, and somebody will say something like this gentleman here just said, “Man,Family Guy!” You know what’s out there.
“It’s my favorite thing!” Plus, I loved it and I knew it was unique. I knew it was unusual. So, I always thought at worst —at worst— you have a strong opening. Film it in the studio, take the money, put it in the bank, and move on to the next thing. You hit a singleat worst. So, no, I wasn’t surprised by that, but did I expect this? No. But it’s fun! Also, I love just that it’s out there again.
