REGGIE: ♪ JAMES AND REGGIE'S BOOK CLUB S SO MANY BOOKS TO
READ ♪ JAMES: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME
TO THE FIRST EVER JAMES' AND REGGIE'S BOOK CLUB.
OUR GUESTS TONIGHT ARE NOT ONLY WONDERFUL ACTORS.
THEY'RE ALSO AVID READERS.
PLEASE WELCOME CHRISTOPH WALTZ.
CHRISTOPH: HELLO. JAMES: AND JOHNNY GALECKI.
JOHNNY: LOVELY TO BE HERE.
JAMES: NOW, WE HAD A TOUGH TIME SELECTING THE PERFECT BOOK FOR
TONIGHT'S DISCUSSION, BUT WE ENDED UP GOING WITH A PIECE OF
LITSCH THAT IS VERY CLOSE TO YOUR HEART, CRISTOPH.
THAT'S RIGHT, WE READ, "HOW TO BE A BAD BITCH" WRITTEN BY AMBER
ROSE. REAL PAGE-TURNER, RIGHT GUYS?
JOHNNY: IT WAS VERY HEAVY.
CHRISTOPH: THIS IS ACTUALLY MY SECOND TIME READING "HOW TO BE A
BAD BITCH." YOU REALLY DO FIND SOMETHING NEW
EVERY TIME. HONESTLY, I CAN'T WAIT TO READ
IT FOR THE THIRD TIME.
JAMES: WELL IT'S LIKE THAT OLD SAYING -- WHEN YOU RE-READ A
CLASSIC, YOU DO NOT SEE MORE IN THE BOOK THAN YOU DID
BEFORE. YOU SEE MORE IN YOURSELF THAN
YOU DID BEFORE. JOHNNY, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
JOHNNY: AFTER READING THE BOOK JUST ONCE, I'M FINALLY FREE TO
BE THE BAD BITCH I WAS BORN TO BE.
WHEN I'M NOT SHOOTING "THE BIG BANG THEORY."
CHRISTOPH: BAZINGA! [LAUGHTER]
REGGIE: FOR ME, IT CHANGED THE WAY THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE
WORLD OR THE IDEA OF BAD COMPLETELY.
JOHNNY: I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN BEING A BAD BITCH HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH BEING AN ACTUAL BITCH.
REGGIE: INDEED. AND TO GO A STEP FURTHER, IF
BEING A BAD BITCH DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE AN ACTUAL BITCH, BY
DEFAULT, YOU'RE A BASIC BITCH.
CHRISTOPH: YES, REGGIE, YES!
ANYONE CAN BE A BASIC BITCH, BUT IT TAKES EFFORT AND A CERTAIN
DRIVE TO BE YOUR BAD BITCH SELF.
JAMES: HERE'S A QUESTION. HERE'S A QUESTION.
WHAT IF YOU'RE A BAD, BAD BITCH?
DOES THAT MAKE YOU A GOOD BITCH?
BECAUSE BEING A GOOD BITCH IS BAD?
REGGIE: WELL IF YOU'RE A BAD, BAD BITCH, AT LEAST, IN THEORY,
YOU'RE STILL A BAD BITCH, SO THAT'S GOOD THING.
JAMES: NOW CHRISTOPH, YOU PLAY A BAD GUY IN A LOT OF YOUR MOVIES.
DOES THAT MAKE YOU A BAD BITCH?
CHRISTOPH: NO.
BEING A BAD BITCH IS ABOUT BEING AUTHENTIC.
I CONSIDER MYSELF A NICE PERSON, BUT AFTER READING THIS BOOK, I
ALSO CONSIDER MYSELF A BAD BITCH.
JOHNNY: YEAH. GO, BITCHES.
CHRISTOPH: ONE THING I DIDN'T EXPECT -- HOW POWERFUL BEING A
BAD BITCH IS IN TERMS OF FRIENDSHIP.
JAMES: GO ON. THAT'S INTERESTING.
CHRISTOPH: WELL, AMBER PUTS IT BEST ON PAGE 148.
WHEN SHE SAYS -- "ONE WAY TO HELP MAKE SURE
YOU'RE THE BEST BAD BITCH YOU CAN BE IS TO RECOGNIZE THE
STRENGTHS OF YOUR FRIENDS.
SOME FRIENDS ARE DOWN WHEN YOU NEED TO DRINK TOO MUCH WINE AND
LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF, AND OTHERS ARE GREAT AT BEING YOUR
WINGWOMAN WHEN YOU HAVE GOT YOUR EYE ON A FINE MAN."
JAMES: TRULY A LOVELY THOUGHT.
NOTHING BETTER THAN BEING A BAD BITCH AND FRIENDSHIP.
OK, FINAL THOUGHTS. LET'S GO AROUND THE TABLE.
JOHNNY? JOHNNY: GAME CHANGER.
JAMES: CHRISTOPH? CHRISTOPH: BLESSED.
JAMES: REGGIE?
REGGIE: DIDACTIC. JAMES: I SECOND THAT.
THIS CONCLUDES OUR DISCUSSION OF "HOW TO BE A BAD BITCH."
JOIN US NEXT TIME WHEN WE'LL BE DISCUSSING A BOOK VERY NEAR AND
DEAR TO MY HEART, "STRONG LOOKS BETTER NAKED" BY KHLOE
KARDASHIAN. [APPLAUSE]
