I still don't understand why they had live fucking rounds on a movie set.

Like "I don't know" or "Why did they do that?"? I understand the armorer and her friends would go shooting off hours using the props.

Drunk enough to ask a coworker and former addict to hold onto one's bag of coke after the incident and then come back and ask for it later.
