She went to the kitchen, thinking, “They got knives. Good ones.” So, she collected several. “Basically, there was jewelry store just outside of the mall,” she said on the show. “There was a smash and grab…They were running through the mall with the bounty and with guns.” Da’Vine recently explained why working with Paul Giamatti is like boxing.
