Were there any great improv scenes?
Duchovny: There’s not a lot of improv that exists in the movie. I think the Jewish line. Did we talk about that in here? The Jewish lined was improved. I’m so f**king fat. That was improved. I say why am I so f**king fat. That was such a funny question. Why? Why am I so f**king fat. That tickled me always. Judy and I had a little riff on “Taxi Driver,” but they didn’t leave that in. We tried to recreate it just moments ago and it wasn’t funny. So it might be best, but we were kind of loose enough to improvise within scenes which is the way Jake works. We also shot this on HD which means that you can run the video for an hour. You don’t have to cut. You don’t have to change mags which as an actor it’s really kind of cool to not feel the pressure of oh we’re burning film. So it’s just like stay in there and don’t cut. It’s hard for an editor to try to find s**t. I’m sure we had some improved lines here and there, but there was no like big improv riffs and the script was pretty much shot
