I had very little to say. I was just led off in handcuffs. When we started to shoot the scene, I said to Kurt, “I have to be having a reaction to what’s happening.” We just talked about what the various possibilities are. I said, “I just put my child down to bed. I’m being dragged out of the house, and my children are in the other room. So I think I would go quietly, but I also think that I’d be freaking out.” So we were trying to figure out where it lived, and he told me to say that. He said, “Say, ‘He’s crying.’” We didn’t know how I would say it, or how it would come out, and then as we were shooting it, it’s this surreal I’m being led away in handcuffs, and he’s crying, and I can’t go to him. It’s kind of like a statement of fact. But it was a totally invented moment on the spot.
