Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon & Natasha Lyonne Take a Friendship Test

We're ready.

But as soon as you roll that camera,

we're gonna stop liking each other.

Immediately. Okay, set.

[beep bleeping]

Let's see what they all are.

What was the funniest moment?

Oh, we did that. We already said that.

Which cast member reminds you of your own family members?

[Natasha exclaiming]

What's a song album you all love?

[zen music]

What were your first impressions of us?

Two professionals?

[Natasha laughing] Yeah. Well, that's true.

Two professionals.

Professionals. Yeah.

And two very skilled people.

Women with strong points of view.

I felt like I was in good company.

Yeah. Smart. Smarties.

Yeah. People I could learn from.

I had never met them before we did this movie.

[Carrie exhaling] [Elizabeth laughing]

Intimidating.

I think I was anxious about it.

I think it had just been like

this sort of weird anticipation thing.

Where, you know.

'Cause movies. Yeah, yeah.

They come together, they fall apart.

Right. Ideas.

You know what I mean?

So it's sort of that like, oh wow.

We sort of made a promise

and we all kind of showed up for it.

[chill music]

Carrie, I love your empathy for the world.

Oh.

And Natasha, I admire your [fingers clicking]

whip [clicking] smart [clicking] intellect.

And humor.

God. Thanks.

I love giving people compliments.

I know you're so good at it.

Can I do this all day? You're really good at it.

Yeah. I love complimenting people.

I don't wanna hear it though.

That's the thing. Yeah. I don't wanna hear.

You're reticent to hear it.

But I love how direct you are.

'Cause you're even direct with your compliments.

I find you very direct. [Elizabeth laughing]

And I love it.

I think it's refreshingly direct.

And you know what?

I learned a lot. Thank you.

Oo wow. Good job.

I'm receiving it. Good job, good practice.

Yeah.

I love that neither of you seem like

you're in this racket for the wrong reasons.

It makes me really respect you both a great deal,

because it's in every single thing that you guys do.

So I really like that a lot. That's very rare.

Yeah. I respect that

you're in it for the wrong reasons.

Thank you. Yeah, yeah. [laughing]

Somebody's gotta. Get it.

Bring home the bacon. Get it.

You know what I'm saying?

[Elizabeth laughing]

Come on. [Elizabeth laughing]

[clapping] Deals, deals, deals, deals.

[Elizabeth and Carrie laughing]

And you guys have good taste in food.

We all have good taste in food.

You think so? Do we?

I do. I think maybe you the most?

She's the foodie.

Why, thank you.

I like my taste in food as well.

I like the way- I know.

I love talking to you

about what you eat. You guys have self respect.

Like as a self-destructive type.

I would say, I really appreciate that.

I think that that's a lot to learn from that.

Natasha.

I truly believe that you live your life

like every day is a gift to you.

And you have like a...

I love the darkness that's inside of you.

[Elizabeth laughing]

But I actually think that's what I think of you the most

is the way that every day you're showing up.

Because you can. That's crazy.

Yeah.

In my mind I live every day

like it's a little mini curse I gotta get through.

[Elizabeth guffawing]

But I think that the joy- That's not how it, yes.

The joy I get,

I think is genuinely like. Yeah.

The connection.

Maybe that's what. Yeah.

Yeah.

We are all gonna die.

We're all gonna die. Yeah.

And I love that you really keep that top of mind

at all times.

I find it grounding and a comfort.

[groovy music]

Oh good, a chair. Oh.

Let's all get on it. [laughing]

Take a rest.

[Elizabeth] Can I go?

[Carrie] Yeah.

What? Hold on.

She wants to read it herself.

What is your favorite TV show or movie

that your castmates starred in before this film?

But I'm a Cheerleader.

I would say when I first saw Lizzie in Martha.

Martha Marcy May Marlene. Martha Marcy May.

And the The Nest made me wanna work with Carrie

for the rest of my life.

When I saw you in the show with the, you know.

Superheroes?

Oh no. The miniseries. Love and Death.

Love and Death.

It was like, at that point,

I loved you so much 'cause I knew you.

Yeah.

That it was such a different experience.

Yeah like, yes that's what I mean about...

Marcy May Marlene was just like discovering.

Yeah, yeah. Somebody like.

All right she's just fucking knockout at every level.

[Elizabeth chuckling] But by then it was like.

You just, you were so talented.

It was such a like, you know, boom.

But then. Your heart just is so full.

When I saw you in that, after knowing you

and like feeling all your switches,

like I was so connected to you.

Yeah. And then we all gotta watch.

And that's how I get with you on the Gilded Age.

I loved Orange is the New Black.

I love all.

But I actually just love watching you in Poker Face.

Thanks. I loved watching you-

Now that I know you. In Russian Doll.

Well, Russian Doll is very special too.

Thanks, thanks, thanks.

What an oeuvre.

I also love reading your interviews.

Oh really?

Which has nothing to do. Yeah, actually.

But they're like

kind of an art themselves. Yeah, no.

Just listening to you talk to people about.

Your New Yorker profile, I adored.

Oh yeah. [Carrie clapping]

And I underlined it,

and it was right before we worked with each other.

You underlined it? I did.

There was something I underlined.

That's adorable. And journaled about it.

Wow. [Elizabeth laughing]

[clearing throat]

Who had the funniest blooper in this film?

You gotta go with Bill Murray. He-

You know what? Such a riot.

I think what Carrie did.

What was my blooper? Which one?

[Carrie laughing] What was that?

[Carrie laughing] [Elizabeth speaking gibberish]

What was that? [laughing]

Oh, wait. [laughing]

Isn't that the Gilded Age?

Yeah, what did you say all the time?

[all laughing]

Oh, that's right.

Congratulations. You did well.

[all laughing]

Like that. But yeah.

And it got Sam. That was a fun one.

Every time. Every time, every time.

But I also remember the day,

you yelled out into the street

to the people who were being loud.

Oh, out the window?

Out the window.

And the crew was really, they were super into that.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, Hey, we're trying to make a movie.

Right. [Elizabeth laughing]

Because it was like a New York.

Like 2:00 AM on Friday.

And it was like. You were just like.

And it was like, lemme handle this one.

Alright, we're also from this town.

You don't own this block. [Elizabeth laughing]

Yeah, exactly, exactly. [Elizabeth laughing]

Easy.

Yeah, that was a good one too.

That was funny.

What was the most meaningful moment

that you share together as a trio

on that sacred set of His Three Daughters?

I think it was that video you sent the other day

that I took.

Oh.

Carrie running lines with you.

And it was like a beautiful lighting.

It was sunset and there was like crazy shadows.

Carrie was trying to help you drill your lines.

Yeah.

Doing, you know, her best like team effort.

Yeah.

I just thought it was a pretty moment.

Yeah.

And you were making a joke about

the experimental theater we were in at that moment.

Yeah.

And you said, Hey, I've seen the Wooster Group.

I know what the Wooster Group. [laughing]

Well, it's also that I'm always, you know, messing.

Because Carrie's obviously like such a, you know,

real deal actor.

Like really? What bullshit.

No, come on. But I'm saying like.

You really know. [Carrie laughing]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know what I mean?

There's not a.

Like constantly working on voice, body.

Yeah, yeah. [Carrie exclaiming]

It was a good bit.

That was my favorite moment.

Aw.

I really loved like laying together,

playing Spelling Bee a lot.

Spelling Bee was really like.

Spelling Bee.

That was like an ongoing good moment.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Which of your friends

had the best style on set?

I can't, there's, I can't choose between them.

It might actually be... Yeah, not characters.

No. Friends.

But it might be actually Lizzie.

Because Lizzie's got that high-end shit.

You look good in, like, you walk in in sweatpants.

And I'm like well who's? Yeah.

I don't think I walked in. It's because of sweatpants.

I don't think I go to work in sweatpants.

They're not sweatpants. See?

I don't go to work in sweatpants.

No, it wasn't like.

[Elizabeth laughing]

No, I mean, you have like a relaxed fit pant.

And I'm like, well how come? Yeah.

Like on me would look

like sweatpants. Yeah, like these. [laughing]

No, but it's because she wear very high ends.

I know she wears very high end stuff.

She's like a man of like few items

but they're each like the best.

Totally.

[Elizabeth laughing]

You know, cashmere, the gray v-neck

you've ever seen in your life.

But also though, you just,

you'll roll up in some like mesh thing

and I'm like, oh yeah, you can wear that.

I wear a lot of mesh. It's not fair.

No, Natasha going into the night, at the end.

Yeah. It's like.

The night is really more what I'm into

with her hat on, her hood on,

her like coat and her backpack.

Just like.

[Natasha and Elizabeth laughing]

Four blocks, four blocks.

And there she goes.

That is really her. [Elizabeth laughing]

I do like to go on into the night.

[Elizabeth laughing]

What was the most emotional day you had together on set?

We never had those. [hands clapping]

We talked about liked about some real things.

Yeah. Yeah.

And when you got hurt.

When you hurt your voice that night.

Oh, I hurt my voice, that was a real.

That was dramatic.

Well, I was back I guess two days later.

[Elizabeth] Yeah.

But it was a real, like.

[Carrie] You were fine.

I was like, let's just keep going.

You were.

And you guys were like. You were pretty relentless.

That's not how it works now. No.

Yeah. And we had to.

We wanted take care of you. You stop talking.

The end too.

Just like the fact of it ending.

I felt

I was very moved by that one.

Yeah.

Leaving it behind.

Going back to my life.

You gave me

a Lizzie Olsen shirt. My real life.

I did, yeah. Yeah.

Gave you a Lizzie Olsen shirt.

It was also your letter invite.

She wrote us letters. Mm hmm.

Yeah.

And I got a trail of tinned fish to my nail.

Yeah, I did.

A little trail of tinned fish.

Not out of the can.

Yeah, no.

That would be disgusting. Assortments.

I'm not a, I'm not a monster.

No. [laughing]

[all laughing softly]

What kind of movie would you wanna act in together next?

Oh, oh.

Oh what?

A film noir.

Oh, a film noir.

Oh, say a film noir did you say?

Grab my fedora.

[Elizabeth laughing]

Outro.

Okay, one.

Gimme an O.

[Natasha laughing]

Gimme a Q. Oh, well you guys watch out.

Don't hurt yourself.

You're in high heels.

Oh, right. And these pants are longer.

See, you're such a mom.

You're taking such good care of us.

Look, look. You are a nurturer.

I liked getting to give you compliments.

Yes, I liked it too. Yeah, I liked it.

Probably people have to fake these sometimes.

A lot, I bet.

Yeah. But this isn't fake.

Or maybe they wouldn't say yes, so maybe not.

Yeah, may.

Yeah, yeah.

They'd be like, we can't do the friendship test. [laughs]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You don't wanna shoot with.

I can't be in the same room.

We could do the enemy test instead.

Yeah, we can do the enemy test.
