>> James: WELCOME!
WELCOME.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
DO YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER?
HAVE YOUR PATHS EVER CROSSED BEFORE?
>> I THINK WE MET AT A PARTY ONCE.
>> WE DID.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS AGO.
>> IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS.
>> James: WHAT PARTY WAS IT?
REALLY COOL PARTY?
I THINK IT WAS A REALLY COOL, LIKE, EXCLUSIVE ONLY COOL PEOPLE
ALLOWED "VANITY FAIR" PARTY, WAS IT?
>> James: OH, REALLY.
BIG ONE.
>> BIG ONE.
YOU LOOKED BEAUTIFUL THAT NIGHT.
>> YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL EVERY NIGHT.
>> WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE YOU?
YOU MUST JUST LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT ABOUT YOU.
GORGEOUS.
>> STOP IT ANYWAY...
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: REGINA, THERE'S A
RUMOR GOING AROUND THE OFFICE THAT YOU HAVE MADE INQUIRIES
ABOUT SLEEPING HERE TONIGHT IN THE DRESSING ROOMS BECAUSE YOUR
HOME IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
>> YES.
>> James: IT'S BEEN A WHILE, RIGHT?
>> IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND I'M NOT DOING THAT MUCH.
IT'S NOT IMPRESSIVE.
IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR BUT I HAVE BEEN STAYING IN THE MARRIOTT
BECAUSE IT'S CLOSE TO MY HOME AND IT'S BEEN 28 DAYS, AND AT
28, THEY MAKE YOU LEAVE BECAUSE YOU GET SQUATTERS RIGHTS AT 29.
>> James: IS THAT REAL?
THAT'S REAL.
>> James: THEY'VE TOLD YOU THAT.
>> OH, YES, THERE IS THE SECOND TIME THEY'VE PUT ME OUT.
I'VE REUPED.
THE FIRST TIME, THEY WERE, LIKE, YOU MUST LEAVE.
NOW I'M UP AGAIN.
>> James: YOU LEFT FOR HOW MANY NIGHTS?
>> I HAVE TO MOVE OUT FOR ONE NIGHT BECAUSE THAT ONE NIGHT
WOULD ALLOW ME TO NOT PAY.
>> James: RIGHT.
AND HAVE SQUATTER'S RIGHTS.
AND NOW I WOULD JUST BE POSTED UP AT THE MARRIOTT FOR AN
INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME.
>> James: WHAT IF I BOOK A ROOM BUT YOU TAKE IT, DO YOU
STILL GET SQUATTER'S RIGHTS BECAUSE YOU STAYED THERE FOR 28
NIGHTS?
>> I'M NOT SURE.
WE COULD TRY THAT.
>> James: ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT, REGINA.
>> I WANT TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES.
>> James: WHEN DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE DONE?
>> I KEEP PRAYING, BUT I'M HOPING WITHIN 30 DAYS, YEAH.
>> James: YOU'RE HOPING WITHIN 27 DAYS, REALLY.
>> I'M HOPING WITHIN 27, YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
>> James: COBIE, SINCE YOU WERE LAST YEAR, BIG NEWS, YOU
HAVE BECOME A U.S. CITIZEN.
>> YEAH.
>> James: DUAL CITIZENSHIP WITH CANADA AND THE UNITED
STATES.
WAS THE PROCESS DIFFICULT?
>> IT WASSENTS FOR ME PERSONALLY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WRITTEN AN
EXAM SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
WHEN I GOT THE TEST WHICH IS YOU HAVE TO LEARN, MEMORIZE 100
QUESTIONS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TEN, ANY ONE THEY WANT
OF THE 100.
>> James: AND HOW MANY CAN YOU GET WRONG?
>> I THINK YOU CAN GET LIKE SEVEN OUT OF TEN RIGHT AND PASS,
I THINK.
>> James: OKAY.
BUT I GOT TEN OUT OF TEN.
YES!
BEAUTY AND BRAIN.
>> THANK YOU!
THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING.
>> MM-HMM!
( LAUGHTER ) >> I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT OF MY
HOUSE FOR A WHILE AND IT'S FIZZING.
>> James: IT'S REALLY FIZZING.
IF ONLY I WASN'T HERE.
>> YEAH.
>> James: YOU GOT 100 QUESTIONS.
>> YES.
FOR ME, I DID THIS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC, SO IT
WAS A LITTLE UNDERWHELMING BECAUSE NORMALLY I PASSED, I
NAILED IT.
AND THEN YOU GET A DATE FOR A SWEARING IN CEREMONY, AND YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO PHOTO THE COLISEUM OR THE ROSE BOWL OR SOMEWHERE
WITH, LIKE, A THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO GOING TO BE SWORN
IN AS AMERICAN CITIZENS AND BECAUSE OF THE TIMES THAT WE ARE
NOW LIVING IN, IT WAS LIKE ME AND FOUR DUDES, AND WE WERE JUST
SWORN IN, IN THE SAME ROOM THAT WAS OUR WAITING AREA.
SO IT WAS SLIGHTLY UNDERWHELMING.
IT WAS STILL SUPER EXCITING, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE
CELEBRATORY.
>> James: NOW, SOMETHING THAT YOU BOTH SHARE IN COMMON IS YOU
BOTH GREW UP WITH OLDER BROTHERS.
REGINA, YOU WERE THE ONLY GIRL.
YOU HAD THREE OLDER BROTHERS.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE FOR YOU IN THE HOUSE.
WERE YOU THE PRINCESS OF THE HOUSEHOLD?
>> I WAS NOT THE PRINCESS.
I REMEMBER ONE TIME WE WOULD PLAY FOOTBALL IN THE HOUSE WHEN
MY MOTHER WAS NOT HOME AND YOU COULD RUN FROM THE LIVING ROOM
TO THE DEN AND MY BROTHERS BROTH LIKE, ALL RIGHT, RUN WITH THE
BALL.
I TRIPPED AND GOT THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF ME AND I THOUGHT
I WAS DYING.
THEY SAID, OH, NO, YOU JUST GOT THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF YOU.
THEY LOVED IT.
>> James: YOU HAVE BROTHERS, COBIE.
>> YES, I HAVE OLDER BROTHERS.
THEY WEREN'T AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS ME BUT ANY GUY THEY LOOKED AT ME
OR WERE INTERESTED IN ME, THEY GOT IN TROUBLE.
HE WOULD TIE UP BOYS TO TREES AND THROW BEER AT THEM IF THEY
HAD DISCOVERED THEY WERE HAVING PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS WITH ME.
THIS IS, LIKE, AT 13.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT DATING ANYBODY AT 13.
>> I USED TO ASK MY BROTHERS TO BUY ME FROM THE STORE AND THEY
WOULD BE, LIKE, GINA, WE CAN'T.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE UGLY.
WE HAVE TO SAVE MONEY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY
SOMEONE TO MARRY YOU.
DON'T YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED?
>> James: OH, MY GOD!
THEY DID.
THEY USED TO BEAT THE BOTTOM OF MY FEET.
>> James: WHERE ARE YOUR BROTHERS?
WHAT TO THEY DO?
>> THEY ARE MARRIED.
'RE MARRIED?
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEY'RE NOT IN -- THEY'RE NOT GIVING THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR
LIVES IN THE BIGGEST SHOW ON TV.
>> THEY'RE NOT.
>> James: WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR "NINE
PERFECT STRANGERS," WHICH THE SHOW IS GETTING A LOT OF PRAISE
BUT YOU AND YOUR INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE ARE BEING SINGLED
OUT.
FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH IT, TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> IT'S ABOUT NINE PERFECT STRANGERS WHO GO TO A RETREAT
RUN BY NICOLE KIDMAN'S CHARACTER MASHA, AND SHE CHOOSES EACH ONE
OF THEM AND THEN WE SEE WHAT UNFOLDS.
AND I PLAY KARMEL WHOSE HUSBAND HAS LEFT HER FOR A YOUNGER, VERY
ATTRACTIVE, APPARENTLY, WOMAN.
( LAUGHTER ) SO MY BROTHERS' SAYING CAME
TRUE.
( LAUGHTER ) SO, YEAH, SHE'S DEALING WITH A
LOT OF THINGS THAT COME OUT ABOUT HER.
>> James: WOULD YOU EVER GO TO A WELLNESS RETREAT LIKE THE ONE
IN THE SHOW?
>> YOU MEAN BEING SECRETLY DRUGGED?
>> James: NO, BUT WOULD YOU GO AND GO TO ANY OF THESE RETREATS?
>> I LOVE RETREATS.
>> James: YOU LIKE A RETREAT.
I DO.
>> James: YOU LOVE A RETREAT?
I WOULD GO AND BE SECRETLY DRUGGED TOMORROW.
( LAUGHTER ) I WOULD TRY ANYTHING NOW.
>> James: YOU MEAN AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME?
>> OH, I WOULD DO ANYTHING.
>> James: WELL, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL IN THIS
