>> Stephen: WE'RE BACK WITH THE STAR OF THE MOVIE "BELFAST,"
CAITRIONA BALFE.
THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
SMALL TOWN THAT YOU GREW UP IN, AND I'M AFRAID I WILL
MISPRONOUNCE THE NAME.
>> MONAHAN.
>> Stephen: SO IS THERE-- WASN'T THAT-- IT'S ON THE
BORDER.
>> SO IT'S VERY CLOSE.
I GREW UP PROBABLY ABOUT SIX, SEVEN MILES SOUTH OF THE BORDER.
>> Stephen: THAT'S REALLY CLOSE.
>> REALLY CLOSE.
>> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE ANY, IN THE LATER YEARS OF THE
TROUBLES, DID YOU HAVE ANY-- WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES OF THAT
AS A CHILD?
DID IT AFFECT YOU?
>> WELL, I MEAN, IT'S DIFFERENT.
OBVIOUSLY, WE DIDN'T GROW UP IN BELFAST, AND THAT'S A VERY
DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.
BUT AS A BORDER CHILD, YOU SORT OF WERE CONSTANTLY BATTING UP
AGAINST IT.
WE WOULD GO GROCERY SHOPPING ONCE A WEEK THERE.
>> Stephen: BETTER GROCERIES UP THERE?
>> , YOU KNOW, IT'S WHEN THE IRISH POUND WAS STRONGER THAN
THE STERLING, EVERYONE IN MY TOWN WOULD GO ACROSS THE NORTH
TO GO SHOPPING AND IT WAS THAT KIND OF THING.
I REMEMBER-- MY DAD WAS A POLICE, IS BUT MY MOM WOULD
NORMALLY BE TAKING US GROCERY SHOPPING.
AND WE WOULD SIT IN THE BACK, MY BROTHER AND I, AND WOULD BE WITH
ALL THE GROCERY BAGS.
AND USUALLY, BECAUSE YOU HAD TO COME THROUGH CUSTOMS AS WELL, SO
USUALLY THERE WOULD BE A COUPLE OF CARTONS OF CIGARETTES HID
UNDERNEATH THAT WE WOULD BE MADE SIT ON.
>> Stephen: UNDER THE CHILDREN.
>> YES.
MY MOM'S GOING TO LOVE THAT I TOLD THIS STORY.
BUT ANYWAY, BUT, YEAH, IT WAS THAT KIND OF THING.
YOU'RE CONSTANTLY GOING BACK AND FORTH.
WE USED TO GO TO THE DENTIST IN THE NORTH.
YEAH, IT'S AN EVERYDAY PART OF YOUR LIFE, AND IT'S A CONSTANT
BACKDROP.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE BOMB SCARES IN OUR TUNE OR THE BOMBINGS THAT
WOULD HAPPEN JUST OVER THE BORDER, YOU KNOW, THOSE WERE
SORT OF CONSTANT IN MY CHILDHOOD.
>> Stephen: YOU SAID YOU WENT TO NORTHERN IRELAND, THE U.K.,
FOR YOUR DENTISTS?
THE ONE THING THE U.K. IS KNOWN FOR IS FANTASTIC TEETH.
>> HAVE YOU SEEN IRISH TEETH.
>> Stephen: YOURS LOOK LOVELY.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT DENTIST.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY.
I THINK-- I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THEREOF-- I THINK THE TOWN DENTIST WAS A BIT OF AN
ALCOHOLIC AND HAD A SHAKY HAND AND MY MOM USED TO TAKE US OVER
THE BORDER.
>> Stephen: WITH THE DRILLS.
YOUR TEETH WOULD COME OUT LOOKING LIKE SCRIMSHAW.
YOU TOOK YOUR MOM TO THE PREMIERE.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WHICH IS A LOVELY THING.
DID SHE HAVE A GOOD TIME.
>> SHE HAD AN AMAZING TIME.
IT WAS SO SPECIAL BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH OF MY MOM INFLUENCED
IN MY PERFORMANCE.
AND, YOU KNOW, SHE-- THE END OF IT, SHE WAS JUST LIKE, "OH, I
JUST DIDN'T WANT IT TO END."
FOR SOMEONE WHO FALLS ASLEEP DURING NEARLY EVERYTHING ELSE
I'VE EVER BEEN IN, THAT WAS-- THAT WAS THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT
I THINK I COULD HAVE EVER GOTTEN.
>> Stephen: I WAS SAYING TO JON BEFORE,ED ABOUTS THIS
WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE IN "BELFAST," THERE'S THE WONDERFUL
PERFORMANCE IN "OUTLANDER," WHICH IS STARTING IN MARCH.
( APPLAUSE )
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WHAT SEASON-- WHAT SEASON ARE YOU GUYS COMING BACK
FOR?
>> SEASON SIX IS AIRING IN MARCH, AND WE WILL BE GOING BACK
TO FILM SEASON SEVEN VERY SEEN.
>> tephen: OKAY, SO PASSIONATE, PASSIONATE FAN BASE.
PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.
SEVERAL PEOPLE HERE, ACTUALLY.
AND I'M CURIOUS, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE A FAN BASE THAT'S SORT
OF PASSIONATE AND ADDICTED AND INVESTED?
>> IT'S AMAZING.
AT TIMES IT CAN BE... YOU KNOW, THERE CAN BE INTERESTING
MOMENTS, I'D SAY.
I-- SO I KIND OF RECENTLY HAD TO GO UNDER-- UNDER ANESTHESIA
BECAUSE I WAS HAVING DENTAL SURGERY-- NOT WITH THE ALCOHOLIC
GUY.
( LAUGHTER )
ANESTHESIOLOGIST CAME IN AND SHE HAD AN "OUTLANDER" MUG, AND HE
WAS LIKE, "I'M YURG BIGGEST FAN."
AND I WAS LIKE, THIS IS GOOD.
SHE'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF ME.
SHE WAS TELLING ME HOW SHE WAS GOING TO PUT ME UNDER AND KEPT
ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SERIES AND HOW WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN.
AND I SAID I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU STUFF.
AND AS SHE INJECTED ME AND I STARTED NODDING OFF SHE BEGAN TO
SING THE THEME SONG.
AND I WAS LIKE NO!
THAT WAS ONE OF THE STRANGER INTERACTION S.
>> Stephen: WERE YOU AFRAID YOU WERE GOING TO WAKE UP FROM
THE ANESTHETIC IN 15th CENTURY SCOTLAND?
>> I WAS GOING TO BE IN HER BASEMENT WITH ALL OF THE JAMIE
POSTERS EVERYWHERE.
>> Stephen: WELL, CAITRIONA, IT WAS WILLFUL TO HAVE YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephn: IT'S AN EXTRAORDINARY MOVIE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON "BELFAST."
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: "BELFAST" IS IN THEATERS NOW AND AVAILABLE ON
DEMAND.
CAITRIONA BALFE, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
