a family. 679 00:25:55,762 --> 00:25:57,681 The directors would always say to me 680 00:25:57,764 --> 00:26:00,016 "That crew is something else," and they are. 681 00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:03,311 They worked in a small studio in Wilmington, North Carolina. 682 00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:04,980 They weren't in Hollywood. 683 00:26:05,063 --> 00:26:06,523 But they were gonna do it better 684 00:26:06,606 --> 00:26:08,942 and they were gonna work just as well. 685 00:26:09,025 --> 00:26:10,652 They'll always be close to my heart. 686 00:26:10,735 --> 00:26:12,779 I feel so fortunate to have had it. 687

--> 00:26:26,918 (Austin) The script for the final episode is so cool 693 00:26:27,002 --> 00:26:30,422 and I think that everybody that read it 694 00:26:30,505 --> 00:26:32,257 got teary when they
