Jude: It was a kind of, there was a sort of spring loaded door that used to close behind me so that I could make fast exits and entrances, yeah� and I caught it on the hinge.
Jay: Oookay� now, tell us about Cold Mountain. Boy, this is pretty amazing. I guess this looks like an epic, isn�t it?
Jude: Yeah.
Jay: It�s beautifully shot, it takes place in the Civil War, well� [hints for Jude to take over]
Jude: It takes place in the Civil War, it�s really the story of, uh� a young soldier that I play called Inman whose a Confederate� who is separated from his sweetheart�they share one kiss�and then they�re separated for four years and both go through a huge change. He witnesses the awful battles at Petersburg and Gettysburg.
Jay: Right.
Jude: And she loses her father and has to learn to survive on her own. She�s a sort of lady from Charleston who has to learn suddenly to survive on the land. And he finally gets a letter from her asking him to come home and you then follow his journey, this sort of odyssey through the war-torn land that is America in the Civil War, and meanwhile watch her waiting and waiting and waiting and, uh� changing, ultimately, before he arrives back.
Jay: Well we have a clip here, let�s take a look, I�m not sure�
Jude: I think this is a moment that they share together� Ada and Inman, yeah.
Jay: Yeah, take a look, here we go: Cold Mountain.
[The �I�ll marry you, I�ll marry you...� clip is played up until the point where, after Ada tells Inman to turn around, he says �No. No I will not.� The audience is somewhat breathless and goes �oooh� after it�s over]
Jay: Great job, terrific job. It opens Christmas Day, perfect day.
Jude: Mmm, yeah.
Jay: Jude, wonderful work [holds out his hand and they shake]. Thank you, always a pleasure.
Jude: Thanks for having me.
Jay: Jude Law! We�ll be right back with Tracey Morgan right after this.
[Audience cheers and Jude looks out at them and smiles]
