Jay: Alright, let�s get right to it everybody�my first guest, extremely talented actor from London, his performance in The Talented Mr. Ripley earned him an Oscar nomination. His new movie is called Cold Mountain, it opens Wednesday, Christmas Day, does an amazing job. Please welcome Jude Law.
[Audience starts screaming and applauding as he does his world-famous �Jude strut� onto the stage. He comes out with a huge grin on his face, wearing jeans, a black blazer with what appears to be a black leather vest and white shirt underneath. He shakes hands with Jay, turns to the crowd, then waves and shouts �Hello!� He sits down as the audience continues to applaud him and scream]

Jay: Hey, there ya go! Got a lot of fans.

Jude: [looks to his right and mumbles �Yeah�, and looks back at Jay]

Jay: Well thanks for coming�you know I was afraid you might not make it. How was the weather in New York?

Jude: You were afraid�? I was afraid I might not make it.

Jay: Yeah, yeah?

Jude: Nine inches of snow fell while I was in New York. We were in the middle of filming and it took two hours to get to work, so I thought it was at least gonna take two days to get here [Jay and audience laugh], but it didn�t.

Jay: Well, yeah. Do you get much snow�I know it gets cold in London, does it actually snow?

Jude: I remember growing up and every Christmas you�d have snow.

Jay: Oh, okay.

Jude: And you�d go sledding in the new year and uh� there hasn�t been snow there at Christmas for years now� I don�t know why that is though, but� mind you it matches, there�s no sun in the summer there either, so� I guess� it�s pretty much all the same.

Jude: [smiling] Cold turkey sandwiches on the beach [makes a face like the whole idea is absurd]. That�s not Christmas for me [audience laughs].

Jay: When you�re a kid, did you do the whole leave the cookies and milk�what do they do in England?

Jude: Uh�

Jay: Do they leave out some other�

Jude: I used to leave out [grins really wide] mince pies�
