And I went over to him.

He kind of looked at me, and I quickly go, ‘Alright, roll sound.
Here we go!’
I didnt even give him a conversation."
Shyamalan remembers: “I go up, and I knock on the door, and the door opens.
I go, ‘Hey, did you want to say something?’
and he goes, ‘Ive only felt this once before.
I felt it on Pulp Fiction, and I just felt it now.’
And then he goes, ‘Youve got it, kid.’
So I said, ‘Oh, thanks!’
He closed the door, and I literally skipped down the sidewalk.

He would test you, and basically say, ‘Do you believe in yourself?
Because I dont think you do.’
And if it works, it works.
If it doesnt work, youre dead.
And it worked!”
