Jennifer: Hey
Jimmy: It's good to see you.
Jennifer: It's good to see you.
Jimmy: How you feeling? All right?
Jennifer: Yeah
Jimmy: I know you've been a little sick
Jennifer: yeah, I'm a little sick, I'm a little drunk
Jimmy: A little drunk a little sick eh?
Jennifer: Your producer made me do two shots of tequila.
Jimmy: Well you have the top people in the business here, you know. Two shots of tequila huh?
Jennifer: Two shots of tequila and a beer, but the beer was my decision.
Jimmy: Okay, alright. You're okay though right, everything is all right?
Jennifer: Yeah no I'm good, I got-I got, I just went to the doctor today I got a chest X-ray...
Jimmy: Okay
Jennifer: ...of my lungs and discovered that my breasts are uneven (laughter) that was all I saw.
Jimmy: Same thing happened to me, it's okay.
Jennifer:I was like standing there with these doctors and they're like looking at my lungs and I was just like-I couldn't-It felt like an elephant in the room. And I was like, "are my breasts uneven?" And they were just kinda like, stifled and uncomfortable-obviously. And so then I kept thinking, well I'm gonna dig myself out of this hole by bringing it up again. So then he's like "Well our radiologist will get back to you about, you know, your lungs." And I was like, "And my breasts." And he was just like "Uh, bye".
Jimmy: But are you worried about that is that a concern?
Jennifer: It wasn't, until the X-ray. I think, I just hope that know one will see my breasts in that Xray.
Jimmy: Okay, alright.
Jennifer: I hope I'm never seen in that light.
Jimmy: In that X-ray light. Now you've had an unbelievable couple years but this last month has been particularly unbelievable...The Golden Globe, congratulations on that, and that's a fun event to go to. Everybody drinks at that event you get to sit at a table with famous people.
Jennifer: ah yeah, famous people are everywhere.
Jimmy: Who were you sitting with at the table?
Jennifer: Um well I was sitting with my family and Bradly and David and everybody, but Adele was in the table that was, it was the next table over and I had such a high fever I felt like I couldn't move and I saw Adele and there was nobody in the way and she was sitting in the table BY herself and I was sitting, my dad was sitting next to me here and I just reached my arm out and went (makes gesture). My Dad was like "Whoah Jen what's the matter?" And I was like "That's Adele".
Jimmy: Adele was probably happy at that point that you didn't come over.
Jennifer: Yeah I didn't come over with a hundred 3D *ughagh* I'm sorry!
Jimmy: Fever hands. I wonder how many people you infected at the Golden Globes.
Jennifer: Well, I wonder how many people infected me.
Jimmy: That is true. You did get infected.
Jennifer: Like, who infected me?
Jimmy: You know I would love to know who that was, I think about this all the time.
Jennifer: Yeah.
Jimmy: To have like some sort of...like you know how they tell you when you're a kid that if you pee in the pool it'll turn red around you? So you'd be terrified?
Jennifer: Yeah, someone should do that!
Jimmy: They should do that with germs.
Jennifer: They should!

(Jen): Well yeah then you’d be in fights with a lot of people
(Jim): Exactly, you’d be fighting people all the time
(Jen): It’s like a totally plausible reason to get mad at somebody “you gave me walking pneumonia… I don’t even know what to say”
(Jim): Yeah walking pneumonia is a bad one, are there any suspects?
(Jen): You’re in big trouble
(Jim): Are there any suspects?
(Jen): Uh well… the Hollywood foreign press
(Jim): The Hollywood foreign press… very…
(Jen): yes I’ve been shaking a lot of those hands
(Jim): very… good, No offense Guillermo but very very
(Guillermo): No that’s Ok
(Jim): your mamma’s here?… is your mom here in the audience?
(Jen): My mom’s here in the audience
(Jim): Oh where is your mom?... Oh that’s your mom right there!
(Jen): Where… Oh hey! Sorry, Oh my god you gave her a microphone that’s worse than giving me one
(Jim): be careful though there’s three uh …(something?) behind… a few rows behind you.. you have to be careful
(Jen): I’m sorry but I really didn’t want to drink though… they, they… I was nervous and they were like drink this…
(Jim): Oh no are you in trouble for drinking
(Jen): I don’t know… I don’t know
(Jim): Is she trouble for drinking is that a no no?
(Jen): She’s going to kill me
(Mom): Tequila shots are probably not Ok
(Jen): No they’re not
(Jim): Tequila shots are not Ok?
(Jen): I agree no… I think she’s right
(Jim): Maybe a flu shot would have been a good idea you know. So umm… you… I’ve seen you on the red carpet… I’m… I’m thinking
(Mom): Oh it’s about me
(Jim): Yeah I think I saw you
(Jen): You saw her break the news about the a… Hunger Games a couple of years ago, at the Oscars
(Jim): Oh eh… what news did she break at the…
(Jen): She um… yeah I had just… I wasn’t even officially really offered the role yet or maybe secretly offered the… where it was very under wraps and don’t bring it up don’t do anything and I see my mother surrounded by reporters well my favourite book is the Hunger Games! Wink!... and I was like “she did it”
(Jim): mom not good with those
(Jen): She’s gone and done it
(Jim): are your parents coming to the Oscars with you?
(Jen): Oh of course
(Jim): Oh they are
(Jen): Yeah
(Jim): That’s a given?
(Jen): That’s a given!
(Jim): Did you get them tickets yet?
(Jen): I… well I’ve never really had a problem with getting tickets for my family, which is weird because I think that’s like a… a big struggle with everything, normally you only get plus one but I… I think they’re in the mafia or something. They… I’ve never had a problem getting my family tickets
(Jim): Somehow you’ve managed to obtain some…
(Jen): There’s something going on… yeah
(Jim): I don’t think… you know what because Naomi Watts who’s here…
(Jen): Oh god!
(Jim): …and she was saying that she was having problems getting her family tickets… but I think people are lying and making it like it’s very difficult to get their family tickets
(Jen): Oh good!... Oh Ok so everyone’s lying
(Jim): because clearly you can easily get your family tickets
(Jen): It’s so easy! Yeah!
(Jim): Do your parents um embarrass you? I think I remember seeing you cry on the um… on like access Hollywood or something like that, were you’re weeping on access Hollywood?
(Jen): She’s weeping all over the place
(Mom): She was stepping on my foot
(Jim): and does that make you start getting teared up, when your parents get
(Jen): No never I’m just like “stop crying woman!”
(Jim): well…
(Jen): My dad and I both like react differently on camera, we both… my dad and I turned into compulsive red necks and my mother just turns into like the weeping willow…
(Jim): It’s a nice combination, dad’s not here tonight
(Jen): It’s great we’re a totally normal family, I’m drunk she’s crying
(Jim): You’re as American as anybody else, I’ll say that. We’re going to take a quick break when we come back, we’re going to see a clip from Silver Linings Playbook, it’s a great movie if you haven’t seen it. Jennifer Lawrence is here, we’ll be right back.
(Jim): That is Jennifer Lawrence from the Silver Linings Playbook… that’s a… I know it looks… It is heavy in certain spots but the movie is also very funny and ah you did a fantastic job with it
(Jen): Thank you!
(Jim): Bradley Cooper great in it too… obviously you won the Golden Globe… but this part that you played, you’re not like that are you?
(Jen): I hope to God not no… no I’m not
(Jim): Ok… The director of the film, David O’Russell, Jude Law was here and he was telling… he… he seems like an odd guy and I’ve seen clips of some of the actors on some of his other films um… having like fights with him and all kinds of crazy stuff. Did you have that with him? What was you relationship?
(Jen): No David and I our biggest problem… we’re the same person so neither of us can pay attention for more than three seconds so if it weren’t for Bradley we would never have gotten anything done
(Jim): Oh really!
(Jen): No but Brad… but David’s thing was he would… he would always be really close like we were doing a diner scene and he was literally… he was in… laying down in the booth right next to me like three inches away and I’m talking and doing this scene and I just hear him start to go “Oh God!”… “Oh I hate this”… “Oh it’s so bad” and I’m finally just like “Do you want me to do something else?” he’s like “Yes anything”
(Jim): Why does he have to be so close does he think it’s a Muppet situation or something?
(Jen): Yeah
(Jim): He just likes to be in the action
(Jen): Yeah I guess so, yeah
(Jim): Wow that is very strange
(Jen): Yeah but… but it works… I guess it’s
(Jim): and do…do other directors do that?
(Jen): Well no…
(Jim): They don’t. It’s just him
(Jen): … no they don’t
(Jim): and would you of course work with him again I presume?
(Jen): Oh my God… yeah… I would… anything
(Jim): Ok and now are you prepared for the Oscars will you right a speech?
(Jen): No
(Jim): You will not!
(Jen): I haven’t… no I’ve started this new… it’s like my only superstition of not preparing anything to say cause when I start… when I… the first… it feels cocky, to just like…
(Jim): I agree with you
(Jen): yeah it’s just like “argh that seems presumptuous I not going to do it” then we start like get in the car and I’m like everyone asking me like “are you… do you have anything prepared?” I’m like “stop” like cause it just stresses me out. I don’t react that way cause I’m not normally on two shots of tequila… normally…
(Jim): You know what the worse thing is though, I think…I I I… I don’t know why I always think of this whenever I’m at an award show is that the people who have the thank you list and then who… then go home and take off their tuxedo or dress and then they have to take it out and throw it away
(Jen): Oh God… that’s sad yeah, well I don’t won’t to be that person so I just
(Jim): It’s a terrible moment… It’s like a terrible memento to have really
(Jen): Yeah it’s a terrible feeling… yeah… yeah… yeah… that’s why you just go into everything thinking like “I’m a loser” and then… and then… and then it’s like “whooh I got a nice surprise!” yeah
(Jim): That is the way to go… The only problem is if you forget important people do you think… are you worried you might forget your mom and dad
(Jen): No because fortunately those people are glaring at me, while I’m… while I’m there
(Jim): Oh I see ok… yeah you can just look around the room… and thank whoever is right there in front of you
(Jen): so I can… I can just look around and… and… and see… yeah, exactly they’re all right there so it’s easy to remember
(Jim): Well I wish you the best we’ll…we’ll be right across the street rooting for you
(Jen): Thank you
(Jim): Jennifer Lawrence her movie is called Silver Linings Playbook, it is in theatres now, go see it. Watch the Oscars Sunday February 24th at 7 o’clock….
