Melissa McCarthy has revealed that if she was asked to jump for a Bridesmaids sequel, she'd ask: "How high?"
The Oscar-nominated star told People that if she were asked to do a follow-up movie to the 2011 smash hit, she'd be all over it like a rash.
She was just as short, simple, and to the point.
"I would do a Bridesmaids sequel this afternoon, right now," the 52-year-old said. That group of women was the most magical thing ever.

"Almost all of us were really good friends already."
She added: "I think it was such a magical time.
McCarthy, who is about to shimmy onto silver screens everywhere in the iconic role of Ursula, the sera witch and evil rival of Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
The comic also revealed which scene from the 2011 hit film was her favorite.
And, shocker.
It's the same one as everyone else. The wedding dress/food poisoning scene.
"Just being around that many funny people was truly like people dropping to the ground because we couldn't get air in," she added to People.
"From a distance, it must have looked like we all had food poisoning because there were just times where we'd be like..."
The laugh-inducing Hollywood heavyweight trailed off.
Perhaps some things are better left unsaid when it comes to diarrhea.
She added: "You can't be around that group of humans and not just be beside yourself."
The Little Mermaid star did admit that many of the gals were hesitant to shoot the shocking scene.
However it became the most memorable shot in the movie by far.
McCarthy admits the cast was a bit "hesitant" to shoot one of the most memorable scenes in the film"It just ended up being so funny. Also, just Kristen shoving 72 Jordan almonds in her mouth," she said.
"There was a take where she must have had 40 in there. And we were like, 'Kristen's going to choke'."
"It was also terribly unprofessional acting because anyone who wasn't on-camera was usually bent over and just shaking. None of us were behaving."
She added that aside from that, the incredible number of canine companions on set was a treat.
"That and the dogs, I did enjoy all the dogs."
Fans have had their fingers and toes crossed for a sequel to the cult-classic for years, and while McCarthy remained tight-lipped about anything coming in the pipeline,
Ever since Bridesmaids was first released in 2011, we've been holding out hope there would be a sequel.
And we'll just keep waiting, apparently.
