[Imitates voice] \u201cIt was type of like she talked like this,\u201d and so I did two takes; the second was simply me. The suggestions got here again from [Warner Bros.

[Petunia is] a scientist that&#8217;s made enjoyable of for her mind, and he or she [rebels] in opposition to that, however at all times on the facet of friendship. I actually imagine that if Petunia thought she had come between the chums, she\u2019d take herself out of the image, and he or she joins the chums on the finish.
