ALL THOSE COSTUMES YOU HAVE TO WEAR.
AID LITTLE SCRATCHY, A LITTLE SMELLY, I'M GUESSING.
>> IT WAS HOT.
WHEN WE SIGNED UP FOR THIS, I TOLD FAITH, "LOOK, WE'RE EITHER
GOING TO BE ON FIRE THE WHOLE TIME OR FREEZING COLD."
I THINK WE HAD FIVE DAYS THAT WERE COMFORTABLE.

I GUESS THE THING WE MISS THE MOST IS THE ENERGY THAT'S AROUND
THE HOUSE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> WE'VE ALWAYS HAD, YOU KNOW, 15 OR 16 GIRLS, KIDS AROUND OUR
HOUSE ALL THE TIME, HANGING AROUND THE POOL, HAVING PARTIES.
IT'S THE ENERGY.
AND, ALSO, YOU KNOW THE ROUTINE EVERY DAY OF GETTING UP, MAKING
BREAKFAST, TAKING THEM TO SCHOOL, COOKING DINNER FOR THEM
WHEN THEY GET HOME, GOING TO FOOTBALL GAMES-- BECAUSE WE HAD
CHEERLEADERS AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
IT'S THE ROUTINE OF IT, AND THE-- AND, YOU KNOW, THE THING
THAT KEEPS YOU SORT OF ON TARGET.

IT.

SHE SAID YOU ALL LEAVE IT COMPLETELY AT THE DOOR.
YOU DON'T REHEARSE LINES AT HOME.
>> NO.

CHARACTERS.
I'M NOT MAKING THAT UP.
SHE IMPLIED.
THAT WAS DEFINITELY IMPLIED IN ONE OF HER ANSWERS LAST NIGHT.

FOR A WESTERN, AND THAT IS SAM ELLIOTT.
>> OH!
>> Stephen: WHO I THINK LEGALLY--
>> YEAH
>> Stephen: LEGALLY, TO DO A WESTERN, HE HAS TO BE PART OF
IT.
YOU HAVE TO BOOK HIM OR HIS MUSTACHE.
ONE OF THE TWO.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY COME SEPARATE.
WHAT A SWEET GUY.
YOU KNOW, HE WAS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS AND FAVORITE
-- >> Stephen: AMAZING, AND A
WONDERFUL PERSON, TOO.
>> AND GETTING TO KNOW HIM ON SET HE BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE
PEOPLE OF ALL TIME.
HE'S THE SWEETEST GUY IN THE WORLD.
I CAN TELL YOU ONE STORY.
THERE'S A SHOOT-OUT IN THE SECOND EPISODE, WHERE WE'RE
WALKING DOWN THE STREET STREET, AND BILLY BOB THORNTON IS IN IT.
WE'RE WALKING INTO THE SALOON, CLEARING UP ON THE THE SALOON.
I'M SO ENTHRALLED-- BECAUSE BILLY BOB IS ONE OF THE MOST
FANTASTIC ACTORS IN THE WORLD AS WELL, WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS AS
WELL, SINCE "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS."
I'M WATCHING THE SHOOT-OUT, AND I'M SO ENA THRALLED WITH BILLY
BOB'S PERFORMANCE, I WATCHED HIM DO A THING AND I TOTALLY FORGOT
I HAD A LINE WITH SAM.
SO I JUST BLOW RIGHT BY SAM AND DON'T STOP AND DELIVER MY LINE.
AND I GET TO THE SALOON DOORS AND I GO ( BLEEP ).
I HAD A LINE WITH SAM AND I FORGOT IT.
THEY SAID, "CUT."
AND EVERYBODY WAS PERFECT.
SO WE HAD TO DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE I FORGOT MY LINE.
I WALKED BACK TO SAM AND SAID, "GOSH, SAM, I'M SORRY.
I FORGOT MY LINE.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO DELIVER A LINE TO YOU."
AND SAM GOES, "I NOTICED."
AND I'M LIKE OKAY.
AND THEN HE GOES, "WELL, AT LEAST YOU GOT THE SQUINT DOWN."
( LAUGHTER )
MARK AGAIN.
AND GO, DANG, HE JUST JABBED HE.
( LAUGHTER )
WALKED BACK OVER TO HIM AND SAID, "YOU KNOW, SAM, THE SQUINT
WORKED PRETTY GOOD FOR CLINT EASTWOOD."
HE GOES, "YEAH, IT DID."
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT STICK AROUND.
WHO KNOWS?
MAYBE TIM WILL SING.
NO PROMISES.
BUT MAYBE TIM WILL SING.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH TIM McGRAW.
