Would you like to say hello?"

"So I go out and see him about 15 feet away. talk to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, they're here to promote "Indy 5". And as I approach, my heart races. I say to myself: 'Is he going to recognize me? The last time he saw me I was a small child. As I approach, he turns and points his finger at me, and he has that classic, famously grumpy Harrison Ford look. I said, "Oh my God, he probably thinks I'm a fan and he's going to tell me not to come near him." But he looks at me and points at me and says, "Are you a little trick?"
