And Crane has that same feeling about Abbie.

Despite the preposterousness of what shes saying, theres also some incongruity that he cant make sense of.
So how did the first meeting between Revolutionary-era Ichabod Crane and modern technology come about?
What would I do when I picked up a phone?
How would I even turn it on?
Its just this black box, basically.
I tapped it against the table, and then when I pressed the button it finally came on.
Then the slide to unlock bit is something we came up with on set.
I think we can spend forever in this moment.
Its just adding more tension as Crane is baffled by modern technology.
And Tom is just so genius.
The moment he did it, we knew it was definitely going to be a moment in this montage.
He was thinking about his relationship with Abbie, and he was on his phone watching it.
Nicole is such a phenomenal actress.
She played it brilliantly, says Goffman.
I mean, her poor captor never stood a chance.
Cranes reservations didnt, either.
We were very careful to give him a much more colonial etiquette, especially with Abbie.
Not that Crane isnt also translating between worlds as best he can.
So hes trying to get by.
