- What?

- Remember when Olive was runner-up in the regional Little Miss Sunshine? But the girl who won had to forfeit her crown. I don't know why, something about diet pills. But anyway, now she has a place in the state contest in Redondo Beach.

- We're coming up on a big anniversary for you. "Little Miss Sunshine" opened in theaters 15 years ago this month. Obviously, that was a huge breakout role for you. How do you look back at that film and that experience now?

- Yeah, it was such an incredible film to be a part of. I don't think anybody expected it to become as successful as it was. So it was obviously a film that really gave me a lot of opportunities and opened a lot of doors for me. So it's crazy to think that it's already been 15 years. But I have amazing memories from that whole experience.

- Just take charge.

- [INAUDIBLE], honey.

- Daddy's OK.

- It ends, of course, in such glorious fashion with Olive's dance to Rick James' "Super Freak." What do you remember about filming that sequence, in particular?

- I had a lot of fun doing that. Getting to work with everybody on it was just a blast. And, you know, I think I was so young I didn't have any insecurities or anything. So that took about, like, a day and a half, I think. I just remember having such a fun time doing it.

[SMATTERING OF APPLAUSE]

- Yeah, all right.
