Bonding Quote by Teddy Thompson
“I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didnt spend that much time with him. I used to put head phones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and kind of had a weird bonding in a way.”

![“What's cool is that in the story of the movie [The Hangover] our characters are also really kind of getting to know each other and bonding over the course of the movie. And I think you're seeing a real, a literal sort of friendship growing both in us as actors and on screen as characters.” quote by Ed Helms](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c78/ed-helms-4996_actors_what-s-cool-is-that-in-the-story-of-the_73568.jpg)
