ILYA BRYZGALOV and PAUL HOLMGREN walk down a hallway in the Wells Fargo Center. BRYZ …and then I tells the husky that it is me who should be using the toilet! HOLMER That’s wonderful, Ilya. Listen, you know your new Star Wars helmet?

Holmgren looks at him, stone faced. HOLMER Well, I spoke to George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, and …
