Asked about the X-rated underwater sequence with Eric Stoltz, Kim Dickens said, "The irony is that once Eric and I were down there without masks on, looking at each other underwater, we can't really see much. We just took the leap of faith, and we did it, and we felt good about it because it felt kind of real."^[1]
