Q: [Someone steps to the microphone, but can’t quite reach] See, I’m small too… JC: What do you mean “too”? (laughter) Q: You know, where I come from we have a saying “The best things come in small packages”. I think that’s very true! JC: Where I come from we say “Surprises come in small packages” (laughter) Q: True…but this was not my question. JC: Oh, OK…

[Ted Raimi starts to shout from behind the stage curtains] ANSWER THE QUESTION! JC: OH, YOU SHUT YER MOUTH NOW! GO BACK TO DETROIT! Go ahead! Q: This I surely quite confusing! [TR behind the stage curtain again] JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION! JC: I haven’t HEARD THE QUESTION! IF YOU JUST SHUT UP, I’LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. Sorry! Somebody back there…is just…needs help! (laughter) Q: [Question on how strange it must have been playing a Ferengi while two others were playing Vorta opposite himself in the same episode. Explains how she had the pleasure of talking to Iggy Pop, who played one of the two vorta…] JC: You did? Q: Yes! JC: When? Q: A couple of weeks ago at a music festival! JC: Coolness! (laughter). I had the pleasure of talking to him too and he was in Vorta make up and I though ”what the….!”. “This is my costume!”…”Get outta that!”…(laughter). Q: [When she talked to him, she got the impression that he wasn’t too pleased playing a vorta. Question on whether he was able to give Iggy Pop or Chris Shea playing Keevan on DS9 any advice…’coz Iggy didn’t strike her as someone who takes advice] JC: There’s no way, I’m giving Iggy Pop advice! (laughter). He doesn’t need my advice, but what they did do was…the reason why Iggy Pop did that is that executive producer Ira Steven Behr loves Iggy Pop! So he said “I’m in control of this ship and I want Iggy on my show!”. And so he just offered him that role…then they sent Iggy all these tapes of me as Weyoun, saying basically ”do that!”. Well, Iggy isn’t Weyoun, you know, and he had a hard time with that, I guess but that’s OK. You can’t win ‘em all, but it was really a thrill to meet him and stand next to him and go “Hey, another small guy!” (laughter) Q: Hi Jeff! JC: Hi, how are you?…I’m not looking at my watch, just, doctors will take me away, soon! (laughter) Q: [Question on bad guys and humor..] JC: It all depends on the way they write those things. I guess I’m not really thought of as a funny guy, but when you look at all my movies I always try to put humor in the characters, even if they’re the worst guy in the world, I kinda make ‘em…kinda…have their moments, you know. I don’t know. It’s just the way that people think of me and, well, you keep fighting the fight and not allowing them to do what makes it easy! Don’t_fence_me_in!!! Perhaps I should…should I do this? Should I invite my
friend out? Why don’t you guys give me one last question and then we’ll
do this!
Q: [Question on Fortress, what it was like working with Christopher Lambert and wearing these really thick glasses] JC: Christopher Lambert was a really nice guy! Very genuine,
very sincere…you know…we shot that in Australia. The day off…we’d go down
to the harbour and rent some jet skis together…and…I haven’t seen him since [TR behind the stage curtains] WERE YOU LOVERS?

| JC: I think it’s time for me to introduce…somebody…we
have never done anything like this before…but Ted and I though it’d be
kinda cool if we’d shared the stage….a big hand…TED RAIMI! (applause)
TR: Did he tell you about the Ferengi stuff? JC: Yeah! TR: Did he tell you about the time he took Christopher Lamber to dinner? (laughter) JC: I never took Christopher Lamber to dinner! TR: You’re kidding!…He really did! JC: But to answer your question about the glasses [Nice save, Jeff!]…how I got that effect! I had really, really thick glasses…they were really huge…and I wear contact lenses that were negative and then glasses that were positive. And if you do the math right, you will have the same vision you did before you started…so… TR: So you subtract a glass and add a glass! JC: Well…(laughter)…glasses are positive and negative, right?…Farsighted and nearsighted…the glasses were really magnifying, but the contacts in my eyes were negative…so I was back at my prescription! So I could see, .I could see with big, big glasses, pretty cool!
TR: And my glasses would be…here take a look (hands JC his glasses, laughter) JC: This is why we work so well together…if you took YOUR glasses and combine them with MY glasses…you’d have perfect vision! (laughter) TR: Did you know Jeffrey and I did a movie together! It’s called The Attic Expedictions. And Jeffrey here plays a doctor! JC: Doctor Ek! TR: And I’m doctor Coffee! JC: Ek and Coffee! Sounds like a law firm! TR: Or breakfast! (laughter) JC: Two Eks over easy… TR: (laughs)…hold the Coffee……And it’s a psychological horror film that we’re pretty proud of actually! Really cool, don’t know when that will be released. You know, some movies are so bad, they have to escape! (laughter) But this was, I think, pretty good! JC: It took them about 3 years to make this movie. They started about 2,5 years ago, and they ran out of money just before they got to my scenes! (laughter) TR: (giggly) Yeah, that happens a lot in film! JC: And then I though, well that’s it…And they called and said: “We’ve got more money, and we’re going to finish it!”. And soooo…last november Ted and I got into a room together with lots of words… TR: Yeah, and I had not met him… JC: Really close together… TR: …Yeah, we were like this (almost presses his face against JC’s, laughter) How many of you know Jeff from Re-Animator, raise your hands! OK, pretty scary in that, isn’t he? JC: That wasn’t a lot of people! TR: (grins) How many of you want to buy it? (not too many people raise their hands)…see…they LOVE it! (laughter) JC: What! Are you my agent? TR: Sure, baby! TR: In this movie, Jeff does this a lot (holds hand up as though holding a syringe)…and I didn’t know him…I only knew him from Re-Animator from the poster, which is this (holds hand up pretending to be Herbert West with syringe) Herbert West in "Re-Animator"
…he was exactly like that…no seriously…I really think he
is a remarkable actor! I don’t know that many actors that can go through
so many different kinds of characters…and really in real life…not be like
ANY of them…don’t you think? (applause)
 JC: And every role you do…you manage to be EXACTLY THE SAME! (laughter) TR: Oh yeah sure…you give a guy some slack and…he’s all
over you…
JC: Ted, maybe we should move down here so that we’re not blocking the view [they were standing behind a microphone where JC had hung his jacket a bit earlier] TR: That’s a good idea…somebody’s jacket’s there… [Julie Caitlin Brown walks on stage with a cup of coffee] (applause) TR: How many of you are fan of Julie Caitlin Brown? (cheers) JCB: I don’t wanna interrupt…
TR: No, nooooo….Jeff loves it…he loves it when you walk
in [JC does his dance and the audience goes wild] TR: And now….Julie Caitlin Brown! (cheers) JCB: Did you do something silly this weekend…why don’t you try to kiss me…I should not have said that…I was asked “Do something silly this weekend” , “Do something you normally woulnd’t do”…find somebody you wanna kiss….and kiss ‘em…[she grabs JC’s face and kisses him] (cheers) [TR laughs, then runs over to jump all over JC trying to kiss him on the face; They’re on the floor together]
