[CHEERING] SHE IS LOVELY.
WE HAD HER ON THE SHOW. HAD A GREAT TIME.

>> Scarlett: WHAT IS THE FILM ABOUT?
THE FILM IS ABOUT, WELL, IT’S ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.
IT’S ABOUT FORGIVENESS. IT’S ABOUT GRIEF.
IT’S ABOUT LOVE. IT’S ABOUT FRIENDSHIP.
AND IT’S ABOUT A WOMAN WHO LOSES HER BEST FRIEND WHO MOVES BACK
TO NEW YORK TO BE WITH HER DAUGHTER AND SHE’S KIND OF AN
INVISIBLE PERSON HERE, AS A 94-YEAR-OLD WOMAN REDISCOVERING
MANHATTAN. SHE ENDS UP IN A HOLOCAUST
SURVIVOR SUPPORT GROUP. AND THROUGH A SERIES OF EVENTS
ENDS UP FORMING A FRIENDSHIP BASED ON A LIE AND THAT IS WHAT
THE FILM IS ABOUT. >> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP
HERE. IT’S IN A GROCERY STORE.
>> Scarlett: IT’S ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PICKLES.
>> Stephen: SO IT’S A NEW YORK STORY?

>> I GUESS WE ARE OUT. SPEAK HELLO, DO YOU HAVE IT IN
THE BACK MAYBE? >> WE HAVE A BUNCH OF OTHER
PICKLES RIGHT HERE. HONESTLY I THINK ALL PICKLES
TASTE THE SAME. >> EXCUSE ME!

>> I HEARD. HEY, CHARLIE, NICE NAME.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING HERE, CHARLIE?
>> I DON’T KNOW, A FEW WEEKS. >> THAT’S CUTE.
YESTERDAY WAS DELIVERY DAY AND YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN COMING HERE EVERY FRIDAY FOR THE LAST 16
YEARS. CAN YOU COUNT TO 16, CHARLIE?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Stephen: [LAUGHS]
WHAT WAS SHE LIKE? MOSHE LIKE TO WORK WITH?
HERE YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN PROVING THAT YOU ARE DIRECTOR.
>> Scarlett: I AM TAKING JUNE’S SANDWICH ORDER.
JUNE, SHE IS THE BEST. SHE IS A BROAD.
SHE HAS AMAZING STORIES. SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE ACTOR, SO
SINEWY, SO PREPARED. SHE WOULD HAVE A PERFECT TAKE
EVERY SET UP WHICH IS BASICALLY LIKE YOU GET A COUPLE.
IN MANY MONTHS OF SHOOTING, SHE HEADED EVERY TIME.
I WAS TELLING SOMEBODY HOW SHE HAD THIS PERFECT TAKE EVERY SET
UP. SHE SAID YOU KNOW HOW LONG I’VE
BEEN DOING THIS FOR? I’M DOING THE WRONG JOB IF —
