Bobby And Peter Farrelly

SI: Ever think of calling this film There's Something About Manny?

Bobby: I wish we would have thought of that [laughs].

SI: You were filming at Game 4 of the World Series, when your beloved Sox clinched. Were you able to focus on your craft at a time when something so personal was happening?

Peter: Now by craft, do you mean boat?

Bobby: You know what? It was pretty easy for us because we only had one camera. Pete and I could sort of enjoy the moment as they filmed it.

Peter: We were pretty much just watching the game and drinking beer.

SI: Johnny Damon, Trot Nixon and Jason Varitek appear but don't speak. Did they try to coax you into throwing them a line?

Bobby: They had speaking lines, and good sense coaxed us into editing them out.

Peter: I must say that Varitek was an excellent actor. Trot Nixon was pretty good too. And Johnny Damon (below, with Barrymore) ... is one helluva nice guy.

SI: You ended up retooling the script after the Sox won the World Series. How was the film originally supposed to end?
