Movie Set with Tina Fey & Amy Poehler - SNL

  • 0:03 - 0:05
    - Sarah, come back.
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    Why are you crying?
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    - Because I think
    I'm a terrible person.
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    I'm lesbian.
  • 0:13 - 0:14
    - Lesbian?
  • 0:14 - 0:15
    It's okay.
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    I knew.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    - You knew? How?
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    - Because I'm the same.
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    - Could you kiss me?
  • 0:23 - 0:24
    - Cut.
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    Excellent work, you two.
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    That was great,
    it couldn't be better.
  • 0:29 - 0:30
    - Thanks, Gerard.
    - Any notes?
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    - It needs to be much better.
  • 0:33 - 0:34
    So how do we do this?
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    I think I can help.
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    I was actually an acting coach
    early in my career.
  • 0:39 - 0:39
    - Oh, really?
  • 0:40 - 0:41
    - Yes, on "The Jeffersons."
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    - Oh, the '70s sitcom?
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    - How old are you?
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    - You know, I heard that
    you were a bitch.
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    I like that.
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    Now, I did five seasons
    on "The Jeffersons"
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    and on that series
    they really know
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    how to nail
    an emotional moment.
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    Here, let me show you.
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    Casey, remember that the movie
    is set in the '40s,
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    so when she tells you
    that she likes women,
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    that's very shocking.
  • 1:04 - 1:05
    We need to see that
    hit you, okay?
  • 1:06 - 1:07
    Here, Janelle,
    feed me your line.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    - Sure. I'm lesbian.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    - [shouting nonsense]
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    Lesbian?
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    Did you see what I did there?
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    - Yes, but this is
    a delicate period drama,
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    I'm not sure I would give it
    that much.
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    - Well, trust me and just
    try it one time like this.
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    Picture that you are watching
    a very fast tennis match
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    and then suddenly
    the net falls down.
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    You watch it go
    and then say your line.
  • 1:32 - 1:33
    Lesbian?
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    Okay, let's do it.
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    - "Sarah's Desire,"
    scene 17, take two.
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    - And action.
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    - Sarah, why are you crying?
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    - Because I think
    I'm a terrible person.
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    I'm lesbian.
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    - [muttering nonsense]
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    Lesbian?
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    It's okay, I knew.
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    - Cut.
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    How did that feel?
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    - Wrong.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    - Well, it looks right
    on camera.
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    Now Janelle,
    you can do this too.
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    When she tells you
    that she knows,
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    that is the big surprise.
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    - I think it's more
    quiet relief.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    - No, no, no, no,
    quiet never works.
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    Here, Casey, give me that line.
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    - It's okay, I knew.
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    - [shouting nonsense]
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    You knew?
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    - There's no way I'm doing that.
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    - Well, I think you can,
    that's why I cast you.
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    Just imagine that you have
    10 hot tater tots in your mouth
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    and you have to shake them out.
  • 2:34 - 2:37
    [muttering nonsense]
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    And then you say your line.
  • 2:39 - 2:40
    - I'll give it a try.
  • 2:40 - 2:41
    - Sound less excited.
  • 2:42 - 2:43
    Okay, let's put the two
    together, shall we?
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    - "Sarah's Desire"
    scene 17, take three.
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    - Action.
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    - Sarah, why are you crying?
  • 2:50 - 2:53
    - Because I'm lesbian.
  • 2:53 - 2:56
    - [muttering nonsense]
  • 2:56 - 2:59
    Lesbian?
  • 2:59 - 3:00
    It's okay, I knew.
  • 3:00 - 3:04
    - [muttering nonsense]
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    You knew? How?
  • 3:06 - 3:08
    - Because I'm the same.
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    - Cut.
  • 3:09 - 3:10
    Very close.
  • 3:10 - 3:11
    Okay, Janelle.
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    When Casey says
    that she's the same,
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    I want you to spit out the
    cocktail that you're drinking.
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    And Casey,
    when Janelle says "kiss me,"
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    that is the best news
    that you've heard all day.
  • 3:21 - 3:23
    So you need to go nuts
    and do a George Jefferson dance.
  • 3:23 - 3:24
    Are we good?
  • 3:25 - 3:25
    - No.
  • 3:26 - 3:27
    - Let's go.
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    - "Sarah's Desire,"
    scene 17, take four.
  • 3:30 - 3:31
    - Action.
  • 3:31 - 3:34
    - I think I'm a terrible person.
  • 3:34 - 3:35
    I'm lesbian.
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    - [muttering nonsense]
  • 3:38 - 3:39
    Lesbian?
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    It's okay, I knew.
  • 3:41 - 3:44
    - [muttering nonsense]
  • 3:45 - 3:46
    You knew? How?
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    - Because I'm the same.
  • 3:55 - 3:56
    - Could you kiss me?
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    - Oh, yeah.
  • 4:02 - 4:03
    - And cut.
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    Great.
  • 4:05 - 4:09
    Oh, this is such an important
    film for women.
  • 4:09 - 4:12
    I am glad that we are taking
    the time to get it right.
  • 4:12 - 4:15
    Now, on this next take,
    I think that we should--
  • 4:15 - 4:16
    Wait, where are they?
  • 4:17 - 4:18
    - Oh, I don't know,
    they just left.
  • 4:18 - 4:20
    - [shouting nonsense]
    They left?
  • 4:20 - 4:23
    You see I can do it too,
    it's not very hard.
  • 4:23 - 4:26
    It's a very easy thing.
