And the whole interesting thing at the end, which I hadn\u2019t thought about frankly, which is that Mr. White is kind of almost a de facto son character for Joe, and Mr. Orange has become a de facto son character for Mr. White. At the end, Mr. White has to choose between his father and his son and he chooses his son but he\u2019s wrong, but he\u2019s wrong for all the right reasons. All that kind of started coming to me. So I finished it and I go, \u2018Oh wow, that was a really interesting exercise\u2026I never want to do this ever again.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Working with Lawrence Tierney (Joe) was a nightmare.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThe worst moment on set was the last ten minutes of the last day of the first week we were shooting. Me and Larry got into a fist fight. It was more of a shoving match frankly. Harvey Keitel and Lawrence [Bender] broke it up. I fired Larry in front of everybody, the crew applauded because they\u2019d hated him. Harvey told us to settle down and then he ran out and then Larry ran out. I took a walk around the trucks. I\u2019d done nothing but shoot Lawrence Tierney all week long, so if I wanted to get fired, I\u2019m going to get fired because they\u2019re going to keep Larry. We have a week\u2019s worth of footage. But I wasn\u2019t going to put up with his ****. So I\u2019m literally walking around the trailers thinking, \u201cWell okay, you wanted to know how it\u2019s going to end well it\u2019s going to end this way. I guess it was nice while it lasted but I guess you\u2019re not going to put up with ****, you\u2019re going to go back to the video store but you\u2019re not going to put up with ****.
