He dedicated his climb to her. There's a part where he reads this letter she wrote him to the lead guy...he insisted she wasn't dead, just off running....I think he said it was a hair salon somewhere. The letter ends on an innuendo. It's just precious. Lol. There's also a scene where he wanders into the other climber's rented house, looking for chocolate. So the guy gives him a Toblerone bar and Fingerless eats it whilst telling the guy about his climb, and stuff. I gather during a conversation prior to filming, Brad had used the word "radical," and Werner thought the word was so amusing that he wrote a line in where Fingerless keeps repeating 'It's a radical mountain' while chuckling to himself in a really imbalanced way.
Yes, yes actually he was quite normal in Bad Lieutenant (if you ignore the wardrobe). I actually really enjoyed that movie, didn't think I was going to.
