Cobie Smulders

0:00In my life, I have a tendency to make very bad decisions. David, I don't want a boyfriend who just disappears because he's too busy. You're unreliable. You have brought me such beautiful flowers. Yes, I did. Maybe that's why I've been stuck in the same job for so long. You're three hours late, man. You know, David, I love you like a son. I am your son. Everyone has a purpose in life. I guess I just haven't found mine yet. David Wozniak. In 1994, you donated to a fertility clinic anonymously. Apparently, there was a mix-up at the clinic. What? You were the biological father of 533 children. What? The letterman loved you last night. Yeah, I haven't seen it. I know. He's so sweet. Selfies and just flustered.

0:45I know. You got them all. He's such a sweet man. It's always funny whenever you do these talk shows, you... there's this pre-interview. Okay, so then you talk about this, you talk about this, and then whenever I get out there, and then you're like, we're always just like, hey, hey. So, yeah. Cool. Okay, you know. Nice. You're able to just chat with him. It's very nice. I want to talk about this movie, though, because there's just one scene. Talk about this movie. Yeah, well, that's what we're here for. Yes, of course. So, last time we had you on was for the Avengers, big movie. Now you're back with Delivery Man. Yes. You have this one scene where you're... I don't want to give away anything, but you're whispering fighting with Vince. Yes. You want to talk about crafting that one a little bit, because it looked like that was probably fun. Yeah, it was very fun. I think we're allowed to talk about it. But the scene that you're talking about is at the end of the movie, one of the last scenes

1:31in the movie, and Vince, who plays David Wozniak, he is telling me he's first proposing, and then he reveals this big secret that he's been carrying. And it was a bit of a roller coaster. That speech, that was a serious speech, and Vince said it so well. And it was very fun to play off of, because there was many different levels. But I think it sums up the whole movie, just in that one speech, so it's kind of beautiful. Is it easy to whisper fight? I found like, yeah. Keep in the window. Yeah, it was easy. Cool. That's what made it fun, you know, to keep the intensity. And I think even at one point, I was... I think when we were doing some ADR, they wanted to re-record it, because it was like some people felt like it was too low.

2:21But I really liked it when I saw it, because you really have to listen to it. And it was also, it made the most sense to me, but we were like, well, we're going to try to loop it. And I was like, there's no way. I mean, it's literally like to do all these, when you go in for these recording, you have to mimic every single sound. And it's just too challenging. So we ended up leaving it, thank goodness. I was talking about challenging. Did you and Ken discuss Valerie from Starbuck, and bringing her to Emma? Or no? Not really, no. I did see Starbuck, and we talked a lot about the character before we started shooting. I think that like making her a New York City cop changed her right away a little bit. But he wanted to make the character of Emma just a little bit more fleshed out.

3:11I think he had the opportunity to show the relationship a little bit more the second time. And yeah, I mean, it's just like a different version. I mean, the whole thing is a different version. Starbuck, I loved Starbuck. It was so funny, and it was so great. It's what drew me to this project in the first place. So I think it was just like being able to do different, showing different aspects of the relationship. Yeah, it's certainly a different role for Vince as well. How did you two craft the relationship? Like it was during rehearsals? Did you hang out beforehand? Yeah, we got to have a little bit of rehearsal time. But most of it was on set. I mean, so much of the relationship was on the rocks and was reactionary to circumstance. So we were, you know, we kind of figured out how long we'd been together and what our relationship

4:00was previous to this. But it was so, so much of it was like new territory. So it was fun to just do the scenes as they were, as opposed to like a big history. Like we've been together and we were able to just kind of play in the moment. So on Monday night, you guys have a big rhyming episode. Every dialogue is rhyme? Is this rhyme? Every on how I met your mother every, yeah, it's all in rhyme. So it was that like... The voiceover is in rhyme and our dialogue is in rhyme. Is it fun? Challenging or fun? It was so much fun. I mean, it was a little bit of a challenge. I think it was probably more of a challenge you had the most to say, probably Jason. But I got to do like comedic bits in rhyme, which was, it was very fun trying not to like make it sound very theatrical.

4:47You had to make it sound conversational, which was interesting. Yeah. So we do something called five questions. We did this last time. Five quick questions. One word answers. Just one word answers. Yeah. Improver script. Uh, script. Stage or screen. Stage right now, yeah. Leninger McCourtney. Uh, Leninger. Leninger. Out of all the characters you've played, who would be best fit to deal with learning? They were the parent of 533 kids. Could be you. Doesn't have to be a character. Um, I would say Marie Hill because she'd be able to like, figure it all out. Cool. She's super smart. In one word, delivering man. Whitty. Nice. Thank you. Good to see you again. Yeah, you too. Have a great weekend.

5:32You as well.
