- Description:13:09:29 - Sound Bite: Sam Jackson & Scarlett Johansson Sam- Its fun. I mean we were there together, we have him, we have poz, we have everything we need. Uh and in the midst of all that this wonderful and glorious kind of speech. Thats gonna be fun to do and the bigger I can do it and the more passionate I can be about that. Uh, makes it all work and makes it all real and he gets lost in place and she brings him back to his place and you know she does what she does; you know where was I? She tells me, I was kinda like oh and you go right back into it but, its an amazing amount of fun to be able to be that large because you never can be. Directors are always pulling you back. No No No (mumbles). (Interviewer speaks) You dont get a chance to choose scenery and have license to do it; you know. (Interviewer speaks) Scarlett Um I kinda worked in many ways just worked off of Sam and his I knew that he was going to be really huge and so I kind of had to be the grounding force in bringing him back bringing him back down to earth and also I think that just that the timing of it I mean to me its very I worked a kind of a lot on that Lucille Ball not quirkiness but those huge facial expressions that she does and you know how she uses her eyes at everything um knowing that there would be a real contrast to to the film. And you know I have always loved that kind of comedy where I am kind of the Ricky to his Lucy or its that kind of situation comedy that we get into um that I that I kind of have always been an admirer of. Sam The Wally to my Beaver? Scarlett- There you go? 13:11:30 - Sound Bite: Sam Jackson & Scarlett Johansson Sam - It has that attitude you know and it has that sort of snappiness in the dialogue. It has that feeling in the drawings that were on the wall because we didnt actually see them; we didnt see the atmosphere that much uh but it did have that feeling when youre talking and you are interacting uh when you know what the cars look like but, you also know that youre in a timeless space. That allows you to do some modern things also or to look modern and feel modern and to speak in a modern way. Scarlett and I think also kinda the bad guy being so likeable is kind of a 40s it its a trade of that timethat period where you kind of want the bad guy, you kind of need the bad guy around to make the good guy look good that kind of thing. Sam We also said we didnt realize in the midst of this that the crime drama that we thought that we were making. They had this romantic comedy wrapped around it.
