What was the deal with that scene?

Did Franco ever get asked about it in an interview?

I actually don't remember that scene at all.

Did Franco ever get asked about it in an interview?

Good question, and not one I can find an answer to, even with the help of mr google 🤔

Perhaps that so good pie is just simply too painful to discuss - did Franco not appear in some (semi-)serious roles back at that stage? Perhaps that very line was pivotal in sending him off towards the slacker comedies he's now synonymous with...
