Nathan Lane : Well, it was an animated film.
Jiminy Glick : An animated film.
Nathan Lane : For Disney, that did play well.
Jiminy Glick : And you played a king?
Nathan Lane : No, I played a meerkat.
Jiminy Glick : [delighted] A meerkat!
Nathan Lane : Yeah.
Jiminy Glick : Is it a method approach, is it like a Bobby DeNiro where you're, the whole day, a meerkat, or are you just, when they rattle the money in front of you?
Nathan Lane : [laughs] Well, I never saw Disney rattling any money.
Jiminy Glick : Oh, because they're cheap!
Nathan Lane : Yeah. You got it.
