| 0:02.3 | The last time y'all were so excited about Twilight, we had a kid on the show named Taylor Laudner, |
| 0:09.1 | and nobody had heard about this kid, but we know, you know, I heard that this movie's going to be pretty hot and also, |
| 0:14.4 | we'll give this Taylor Lautner kid a shot, right? This was him a couple years ago. |
| 0:18.1 | I remember my agent telling me, you know, this thing, this thing has the potential of being big. And I was like, really? I've never heard of it before in my life. And, yeah, as soon as I was cast is when I read the first book. And I was like, wow, it's a great story. This could be cool. Do you have any fear at all that now because this career of yours is going to be propelled and you're going to be so in the spot. |
| 0:40.4 | Like, now you're a target for paparazzi. |
| 0:42.9 | You can't go anywhere because of cameras. |
| 0:45.0 | I mean, this is going to be your life, I think, Saturday morning. |

| 1:06.2 | Or just being humble? |
| 1:09.4 | I think he was really naive to realize what, you know, what this movie did to propel him to be such a superstar now. And, yeah, I think he had no idea. Like these guys in studio with us. Yeah, Jamie and Eddie are in here. How are you? Well, you have an idea. Eddie's been in the, and he was in the first movie. Yeah, but it doesn't happen overnight. I think that's what he was shocked about your assessment. I think it takes a couple of nights. Two nights, three nights, 72 hours before? How are you today, Jamie? Before we get too far into the interview, can we just remind Wendy that Melissa has a broken foot? I asked. Why is that? I asked sitting in the middle of these two boys. Because I wedged myself in between two hot guys. That was no accident. Can I look? A calculated move? She's in the corner of the room leaning against the wall looking very pitiful. She asked and I'm going to be the ultimate wing woman. so I said, no, honey, you stay there. Get the middle. |
| 2:01.1 | It's playing out right here. |
| 2:02.1 | Vampires, wolves. |
| 2:03.3 | I'm living everything out, and my fantasy is right now. She's in a vampire sandwich right now. She's good. I love it. I'm not complaining. You guys must be right now. Right? This is it. It's a pretty tame fantasy. You know what? The dreams continue on after this. |
