re: Norm. (A new *very* short film that adds a new perspective to his life and death, IMO)

I think Norm considered himself more of a humorist.

I think that may be the perfect label for him. He seems to have approached all of life from that attitude or perspective. Chapel talks about working with Norm very shortly after his (Chapel's) dad died. He said that he had no desire to work on that film, but being around Norm — whom he had little prior relationship with — immediately brightened his outlook and put him in a better frame of mind. He talked about how Norm's whole life could have been a bit, or it may not have been......you couldn't tell. I think that is probably a nod to the real Norm than anything else.

Woody (as Norm enters the bar): "Hi, Mr. Peterson, what's shakin'?"

Norm: "All four cheeks and a couple of chins, Woody, gimme a beer!"
