We [with John Logan] started talking about The Searchers, and then he went on to tell me a story about when he first met John Wayne, and he said, "Hey, you be me and I'll be Wayne," and I said, "No, let me be Wayne!" Anyway, it was a very pleasant conversation, it was clear to him that I was a big movie fan, and by the time I got home, there was a phone call, asking if I'd mind doing one scene in the movie [The Aviator].
John Logan was kind of wrapping up - "Well, thanks for coming in. . . " - and I thought, "Oh, God, this is over and I'm out of here, and I really don't want to leave. "So I said, "Can I ask you a question?" He said, "Sure. " "What movie do you think you've seen more than any other movie?" And he said, "Wow, let me think about that. I guess probably The Searchers. " And I said, "Well, oddly, that's the movie I've seen more than any other movie. " And I wasn't just BS-ing. It's true. It's my favorite movie.

Riley - “Don’t worry, there are many safeguards in place. Unless you want me to have Logan explain—” Trella - “No! I trust you. ” He clutched his hands to his chest. “She… Gasp… Trusts me! Call for medical aid stat!” I swung at him, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to my feet. Snaking his arms around my waist, he said, “We need to celebrate this momentous occasion. ” "What are we celebrating?" Jacob Ashon, Riley's father, asked from the doorway.
I took the T from Logan airport to Harvard Square. I hate driving in Boston. It's the traffic that drives me spare, and the absolutely terrible manners of the motorists. Other New Englanders refer to Massachusetts drivers as "Massholes.
Are you OK?" I asked. "I think so. " Logan stared at me, and a smile pulled up his lips. "But maybe you should give me mouth-to-mouth, just to make sure.
