“I’m dressed as the Turtle Man, and I’m holding hands, and I’m lowering my head and praying, and I just thought at the moment: ‘This is very strange.’”
(And here’s where we should be very clear that the Turtle Club scene was not, despite what people say sometimes, actually filmed on 9/11; production on the film hadn’t started when the attacks happened, and didn’t begin until a few weeks after. The Turtle Club was just the first scene to be filmed.)

I always thought it was as well. Glad to be set straight.
