For this movie, there is constant competition between your two characters
in a lot of funny moments.
Was it ever difficult to keep your composure while filming?
Did you ever break into laughter the second the camera stopped?
I mean, this is this is a funny movie and yet serious at the same time.
It's such a fine balance.
I definitely laughed a lot.
I laughed a lot, for sure.
I thought there was some pretty funny situations.
Yeah, no, for sure. Yeah.
I think like during the scenes, like the more seriously you do something
that's ridiculous, the funnier it is.
And I think that's what we were doing.
We were like being very serious between action and cut.
And that's why it's funny.
And then as soon as you were sick, I think we were.
Yeah, it was a lot.
There was a lot of laughter on set for sure.
Is there like one scene where you were like, OK, take 10, take 11, take 12
from breaking for things?
But you kept it.
That's awesome.
I don't remember too many like breaking takes where we had to do them again
and again. What does that mean?
Breaking is like when you.
Oh, my God, it's fine.
Breaking is when you just bust up laughing.
Oh, OK. Corpse.
What do you call it?
Oh, corpsing. Yeah. Yeah.
Do you say that? No.
OK. Breaking. We say corpse.
We're doing English.
What? I love it. I love it.
Corpse saying corpse saying corpse.
He means like when you if you're on stage or you're meant to be serious
and you laugh, you corpse. Yeah.
So there weren't many corpsing takes where we had to like keep doing it.
I don't think you like screwing it up.
Yeah. Corpse. Yeah.
Emma, you mentioned to us that your role was pretty physical.
Rachel, was it fun to see Emma have to roll down the hill, get in the mud,
get tackled and not have to participate much in any of that?
Well, I did. I wasn't in the scene, so I got to see it the same way you did.
I saw it on the big screen and the magic of cinema.
And it's a great scene.
I mean, really physical.
But Rachel gets dragged behind a horse.
That's true.
That's so much worse than anything I had to do.
It's like that idea of falling off a horse and getting dragged isn't brutal.
Yeah, I had to gallop and I had oatmeal in my mouth and stop on a mark
and then puke up my oatmeal.
Oh, we did. That did not make me want to corpse.
That made me want to whatever the opposite of corpse is, cry.
