Bruce Willis looked like a proud dad as he escorted his daughters down the red carpet at the World Premiere of "The Whole Ten Yards." Girlfriend Brooke Burns was also there to support Willis and the movie, looking beautiful with her new dark brown hair color.

Bruce isn't the only Willis who appears in "The Whole Ten Yards." Accompanying him for interviews to promote the movie was his daughter Tallulah Belle, who plays a Buttercup Scout selling cookies in this sequel. Fielding questions about his daughters and the rumored engagement to Brooke, Willis tried hard to keep the conversation steered toward subjects relating to "The Whole Ten Yards" but wasn't very successful.

INTERVIEW WITH BRUCE WILLIS: (Jimmy):

You show off a lot of skin in this movie. Is there a body part you'd like to improve if you could?
That’s a great question. I’m glad you asked me that. [Maybe] a little more meat in that keister.

Will there be a "Whole 11 Yards?"
"The Whole 14 Yards," maybe.

Would you get married again?
I would think about it.

Were your daughters Girl Scouts in real life while they were growing up?
Yes, my daughter Scout was, I think. Tallulah Belle was a Brownie – a Brownie Scout. In the movie she plays a Buttercup Scout.

How many boxes of cookies did you have to buy when it was cookie season?
Cases. You know, it was Tallulah’s idea. I think it was 12,000 cases that turned out to be 14 pallets. When it was Girl Scout cookie time, she said we should send cookies overseas to the troops. We ended up sending something like 35,000 cases.

We heard no “Die Hard” and now we’re hearing there is going to be another “Die Hard.”
I read the script. We’re working on it.

How tough is it to get excited about it after all this time?
My concept is that it would be “Die Hard on a Rascal.” I’m getting so old that I’m really going to need some help. Maybe Tallulah…

How do you do “Die Hard” without terrorists?
It’s difficult, it’s difficult. There’s some real smart bad guys that are thieves.

Will Bonnie Bedelia return?
Don’t know yet. I know I’m a part of it.

What’s your hope for reinventing the franchise? Why do a “Die Hard 4?”
Exactly right. I’d rather retire undefeated but Fox seems to think it’s a good idea.

You’re also going to be doing “Sin City.” Can you say what that’s about?
I’m going to be working with Robert Rodriguez and I can’t tell you anything about it. It’s a totally revolutionary style of making movies. I just told you something about it (laughing).
