"I got there and he was on a ventilator, and it was very emotional. But I built the plate and he goes, 'Now, eat it!' I take a few bites and we’re all laughing. He died five days later."

"Out of all the people Make-a-Wish could have asked for, that kid is going to waste his visit on me? I thought, 'Wow, maybe this is a little bit bigger than I think it is.'"

“When it was just the two of us working on the finale, our base camp had two cars...She was very patient as it took me like a solid 40 minutes to ‘10-1’…which in the movie business, is to urinate. I had a lot of costume on, and a very small bladder.”

Hahn also told stories about the gifts that she and Olsen exchanged during the early days of the pandemic: a store-bought loaf of bread from Hahn, and from Olsen, worms for composting and a “perfectly strange and hilarious” recording of an original song.
