Jay: No, no it�s alright!
Jen: I think I�ve just been, you know, doing some press for the last couple, last five days and planes, aeroplanes, you know and sick people.
Jay: Yeah, and you don�t, you don�t like to fly, do you?
Jen: Keep on getting nervous still, when I come to your show.
Jay: Why, why are you nervous?
Jen: I don�t know, you�re so nice!
Jay: Well.
Jen: You really are, and uh, anyway.
Jay: I really wanna, uh, you don�t like to fly..
Jen: No, I don�t!
Jay: � I mean, it�s not just not liking to fly, it�s like phobia?
Jen: Yeah, I have a phobia. I�ve actually, uh, you know, done the hypnotist thing..
Jay: Oh, really?
Jen: � Yeah.
Jay: Does that work?
Jen: No. (Jay starts to laugh) I, uh, you know, and we, uh, were flying from Toronto to New York�
Jay: Right.
Jen: � And, they had uh, it was, uh, an electrical storm, like thunder storm�
Jay: Right, right.
Jen: � And they closed all the airports down. So, it was like that moment of, do, uh, �what do ya do?� (starts to laugh) We circled for an hour, in, in a thunder storm, we felt like a pebble in a tin can.
Jay: Like (makes a sound of a pebble in a tin can)
Jen: � Uh, it�s indescribable, I don�t even know how to explain it, when we landed I cried, so hard! The pilot had to come out, Miguel Arteta, who�s the director of The Good Girl�
Jay: Okay.
Jen: � We were hugging each other and he [Miguel Arteta] said he crossed himself for the first time in 20 years, I mean, it was just, you know.
Jay: So the pilot came back and hugged you.
Jen: I hugged him!
Jay: But I love the fact �
Jen: He saved our lives!
Jay: See that�s how men are! That�s how men are, you�re in an electrical storm, he�ll get up from the plane and come back to hug Jennifer Aniston. (Jennifer starts laughing) Oh, this is after it landed!
Jen: This was after it landed.
Jay: Oh, of course, obviously. I see, that�s a nice touch, the pilot would actually come, did he come to your hotel room?
Jen: I think he just felt, (laughing) No, he didn�t. (Sarcastically) He came to my hotel room, and then tucked me into bed and I was all fine!
Jay: (Laughing) It�s all part of the service, I tell you, that First Class is great isn�t it? (Jennifer starts laughing) Oh! It�s just great isn�t it? So you tried hypnotism, that didn�t work.
Jen: No, that didn�t work.
Jay: Did you try other things?
Jen: No, I �
Jay: � Do you get liquored up?
Jen: No, I can�t that�s �
Jay: No, that�s worse.
Jen: � I mean I do, sometimes, not �liquored up�, I�ll have a cocktail. (Jay starts laughing) � Um, (starts to laugh because Jay is laughing so hard) but um, can you imagine me �liquored up�?
Jay: I just like �liquored up�. I just like the expression, (puts on a funny voice) �get all good and liquored up�.
Jen: (giggles) Then there�s like anti-anxiety, medication, that just makes you feel that you�re, you still have your anxiety but you can�t really move. So, it�s sort of like, �Trapped in a Body�, did you ever see that show?
Jay: Oh, you get the anxiety with diarrhoea.
Jen: And then you can�t get up!
Jay: Read the symptoms, which is not good. That�s not good. Now, are you doing a movie now, with Jim Carrey?
Jen: Yes! I am, started yesterday.
Jay: So that�s a whole other -- ?
Jen: It�s a whole other thing. We�ll be back here in a year from now, probably.
Jay: And that�s like a crazy comedy kind of thing.
Jen: (puts on a crazy voice) It�s a �crazy comedy�.
Jay: (starts laughing)
Jen: � He�s a genius, he�s a physical comedy, he�s just a comedic, uh, ja, uh (stops to finally get the word right) a comedic genius.
Jay: No, he is, �cause we used to work together in the clubs and when he would do, just the straight impressions he would turn around (imitates what Jim would do) do something like this..
Jen: Yeah, (starts to laugh)
Jay: You would actually, actually, go �Oh my God�, people would go �(gasps) He actually looks like them.� He�d bend his face and everything.
Jen: It�s true! Without any masks or anything, just, just, ah, it�s unbelievable.
Jay: And what kind of, what kind of part do you play in this one?
Jen: I play his girlfriend. You know, and it was, uh, odd, just �cause it was our first day, and it was a very physical day, um, a lot of physical comedy and uh, you know, I have basically knees bruised, I ended up having knee-pads on, my back was just, ripped to shreds from being dragged across a carpet, four carpets, it felt like, and you know�
Jay: This is for the audition? Oh, I�m sorry.
Jen: I got it though �really put myself out there.
Jay: I heard the knee-pads and just had to say it, I�m sorry.
Jen: Oh! I got ya, wooooooooo!
Jay: Look, we�ll take a break. More with Jennifer Aniston after this.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Jay: Welcome back, we�re talking with Jennifer Aniston, her new film is uh, is The Good Girl. I really liked this movie, and I was, you know, I didn�t know what I�m seeing, I know you�re in it and I�ll go see and I�ll go, �Okay what�s this gonna be?� and you know, it really moved me �cause I, come from a small town, and I, know what that feels like, tell people what the picture�s about.
Jen: Well, it�s uh, basically it�s sort of an exploration of depression really, and this young woman who is, feels trapped in her life and, and, uh, is desperately trying to find passion again and, uh, feel something again, and uh, in doing so without the tools, proper tools, she just seems to make, many, many wrong mistakes.
Jay: Yeah.
Jen: � In the uh, in the process. It�s a beautiful movie.
Jay: Yeah, it really is. I mean, you really get the sense that, and you�re, and you play like, an ordinary kind of looking person, which I love, I mean you�re not glamorous in the movie, you�re just a nice, ordinary looking girl who lives in a ordinary town, who looks kinda �flumpy�.
Jen: I�m telling ya Jay, that�s me!
Jay: I know, well, well it�s, but it worked, you convinced me.
Jen: Thank you. Where are you from?
Jay: Well, I�m from Andover, Massachusetts, but the store you work at, what�s it called?
Jen: Retail Rodeo.
Jay: Retail Rodeo, it�s one of those, like, it�s not quite a K-Mart, yeah it�s like one of those giant, big giant stores, and everybody looks depressed all the time, it�s very funny, the characters in the film..,
Jen: They�re brilliant, brilliantly written.
Jay: And I read, this is your first, like, love scene in a movie, is that true?
Jen: Yes, first, first time, I was a movie virgin�
Jay: Wow.
Jen: � And same for this wonderful, young Jake Gyllenhaal, and so, for both of us, we�re pretty, uh, pretty nervous, pretty quick, though, it was all quick.
Jay: Yes, first, they�re pretty much all like that. I think most guys will agree with that, yeah. Well, I�m thinking, I guess that�s true�
Jen: Yeah, what?
Jay: First time you�ve been in a movie, having sex.
Jen: Well when we�re actually in bed, I mean there was like, uh, Rock Star.
Jay: Little bit.
Jen: � We weren�t actually, naked.
Jay: You were naked?
Jen: I wasn�t actually naked, I was playing naked.
Jay: Well how do you �play� naked, this �
Jen: You have all sorts, we had this thing that John C �
Jay: It�s like with your father, your dad, �But Dad, we�re playing naked�
Jen: �No, I swear Dad.� Well, we had this thing that John C. Reilly, actually calls, our �chastity pillow�.
Jay: What is that?
Jen: Well, there�s like a bunch of pillows that you put in between you, and you have the little, you know, shorts on and things covering here and arms placed strategically and all of that, and the pillows though, they were so, we had four of them, and the director, Miguel says, �You're gonna have to take some of them out, �cause it looks like, it looks like you�re doing her knees, it just doesn�t look real�, so we took, we took, a couple pillows out. (Jay starts laughing) That was a good story. (Jay and the crowd go wild with laughter)
Jay: I never heard that, uh�
Jen: Well, I�ll tell ya more of those.
Jay: I just like, I just like, the term �we�re playing naked�
Jen: We�re playing naked!
Jay: It�s like, the great excuse.
Jen: It�s a great movie, it�s movie magic.
Jay: Let�s show a clip (presses the button and the screen comes up)
Jen: Okay.
Jay: Lemme see, this is uh �
Jen: This is, right when she, they�re just getting to know each other, she�s, she�s met this young man and uh, she�s driven him home, and he invites her in, into his, uh, bedroom.
Jay: Let�s take a look.
(Scene: Justine and Holden are sitting down in Holden�s room)
Justine: What are your folks like?
Holden: They�re okay. They don�t get me, but they�re alright.
Justine: My husband don�t get me.
Holden: Since when did you have a husband?
Justine: Since 7 years, he�s a painter.
Holden: What�s he paint?
Justine: Houses. He�s a pig, he talks but he dooesn�t think, sick of it. I was looking at you in the store and I like how you kept to yourself. I saw in your eyes that you hate the world. I hate it, too.
