Peter Falk galt als behindert und hatte es sehr schwer überhaupt auf der Bühne zu landen. Er hat es geschafft, weil er es unbedingt wollte.

愈來愈習慣夜間騎車了 昨天看完受影響的女人出來12點10分到家不到1點 雖然下雨但華中橋好空曠 邊騎邊覺得1974年的Peter Falk的臉是勞勃狄尼洛+Shawn Michaels揉在一起卻沒揉好 回家兔子看到我跳兔子舞 俗套但我的疲憊就一掃而空了

Wrote a kissing scene & the entire time, in my head, I'm hearing Princess Bride: Fred Savage in bed whining @ Peter Falk to skip that part.
