“Okay, stop! Everyone just stop,” Curtis interrupted. “Let's stop for a second. And I'm just going to turn in my chair. Just a little bit. Hold on, please. Now you can start saying it again. You played the saxophone?”

“In (junior) high school,” Anderson replied.

“I did all the scat solos,” Anderson added.

“And so in the movie, The Naked Gun, I have to sing,” she continued. “I did a scat solo, and so I remember saying to him, you know? 'I did all the scat solos in junior high.' And he just said, 'Don't do it now.' I was like, 'Scooby Doo and Dooby Doo and doo-dat doo-dat.” I just started scattering and I got the part.

Curtis couldn't contain her shock and cried out again, “What the hell is going on?”

All her life experiences fell into me, and we said, 'oh right,' and then, you know, continued.”

“Yeah, and we're together,” Anderson agreed.
