““I think I can lift you up there and lock you out. But you’re going to have to trust me.” Because I don’t have a knee on it, my left leg was no help at all. I told her, “I’m going to squat down on one leg as you come at me, and put my hand level and as close to my shoulder as I can. And I’m going to have to put my hand below your belly button, so I have more of your pelvis to distribute the weight evenly. In one movement, I will press you up.” I told her I was going to have to push up straight from my shoulder. “You’re gonna have to come at me. I will put my hand out, then you’re going to have to let your body go over my shoulder. And let me press you up.” That took a lot of trust on her part. We took a deep breath and went for it. She came at me, I went down to one leg, and boom ! The cameraman shouted, “Oh shit!” Our producer Alex said, “Oh my God!” It was awesome. We were going to use that at some point. But it wasn’t time.””
