“Let me do that one more time” in A Series of Unfortunate Events
People couldn’t get enough of Jim Carrey’s portrayal of Count Olaf in A Series of Unfortunate Events. He was so in-line with the character that it was nearly impossible to draw the line between a fictional character and classic Carrey. There’s a scene in the movie where Count Olaf meets the Baudelaire brood, to which he says, “wait, let me do that one more time.”
That quote wasn’t in the script. In fact, Jim was asking the director to re-shoot the scene, but he did so in character. Everyone thought he was going off the top of his head and just went with it. They later learned that he was asking for a second take, but the moment was so great that they left it in.
