why dont you  kick him? She said, Are you kidding? And I said, No." Hawks  ended the conversation with, "Now were going back in and make this  scene and you kick, and you do any damn thing that comes into your  mind thats natural, and quit acting. If you dont quit, Im going  to fire you this afternoon." Hawks white lies did the trick, and  the scene was filmed. In addition, Hawks claimed that after that,  Lombard never began another movie without sending him a telegram  that read, "Im gonna start kicking him."
