‘Bad Monkey’ Finale: Vince Vaughn and Bill Lawrence on the Death of [SPOILER] and If Season 2 Would Adapt ‘Razor Girl’

'Bad Monkey' star Vince Vaughn and creator Bill Lawrence break down the finale, talk adapting Carl Hiaasen — and discuss whether 'Razor Girl' is next.

Bill, the fact that Rogelio (John Ortiz) and Monty (Victor Turpin) were partners in work but also in a romantic relationship is something I almost missed in the show. Not only people are like, “Bill, your shows are usually different than Carl’s stuff.” And I go, “Where we overlap is, believe it or not, even though we both see that he sees the underbelly in a lot darker way than I have, we both are fairly optimistic guys that feel like goodness often prevails, and that people get what’s coming to them.” One of the things I’ve always loved about Carl’s books is it’s pretty rare that the villains ride off happy into the sunset. People have asked me if I’m such a Carl Hiaasen fan, what made me pick “Bad Monkey” over “Skinny Dip” or “Tourist Season” or “Native Tongue” books?
