Matthew Lillard (1:07)

He has an incredible chin. Everyone says that about him. An incredible chin. That's what Josh Hartnett would say about Matthew Lillard.

Alaina Urquhart (1:13)

I feel like you're right.

Matthew Lillard (1:14)

Yeah. I will say this. I did this movie. I did that movie, Wicker Park.

And it was Rose Byrne, him, and Diana Kruger. And we were in Montreal, which is a very sexy city. And they all sat there and smoked cigarettes. And they talked about art.

SPEAKER_5 (1:36)

Because they're super cool.

Matthew Lillard (1:37)

I have never wanted to be a cigarette smoker in my life. And I watched all these beautiful people just like...

Alaina Urquhart (1:45)

Just blackening their lungs.

SPEAKER_7 (1:47)

Yes, but that has never looked so handsome.

Matthew Lillard (1:50)

It looks cool. They were so beautiful. They were all beautiful. Oh, yeah.

Alaina Urquhart (1:54)

I could...

SPEAKER_4 (1:55)

Smoking never has been sexier.

Alaina Urquhart (1:58)

But then you can just think about their lungs being like tar.

Matthew Lillard (2:01)

When you cut open a body and somebody is a cigarette smoker, can you see it?

SPEAKER_4 (2:05)

Oh, yeah.

Alaina Urquhart (2:06)

How do you know?

Ash Kelley (2:07)

She tells me stories. I used to smoke cigarettes.

Matthew Lillard (2:09)

I'm asking the mortician.

SPEAKER_6 (2:10)

All right, I'll sit back.

SPEAKER_7 (2:11)

The autopsy tech.

Alaina Urquhart (2:13)

It's how I got her to stop smoking cigarettes.

Matthew Lillard (2:14)

You smoked? Yeah.

Ash Kelley (2:15)

When I was like a teenager.

Matthew Lillard (2:16)

So dangerous.

Ash Kelley (2:17)

I know.

Matthew Lillard (2:18)

She was such a rebel. Did you feel sexy?

Ash Kelley (2:22)

No, I felt stressed when I would smoke cigarettes.

Matthew Lillard (2:25)

Because you were getting caught? No, I was smoking to relieve stress. That's why you were stressed. I knew you would catch me.

Alaina Urquhart (2:30)

Yeah.

Ash Kelley (2:30)

Yeah.

Alaina Urquhart (2:31)

It did?

Ash Kelley (2:32)

Yeah, you get like a little buzz.

Alaina Urquhart (2:35)

But you don't want to do it.

SPEAKER_6 (2:36)

Your lungs will look like shit.

Ash Kelley (2:37)

That's not a PSA to do it.

Alaina Urquhart (2:39)

Your lungs will look like shit if you do it.

Ash Kelley (2:41)

They really will.

SPEAKER_8 (2:41)

But then they regenerate, right?

Alaina Urquhart (2:43)

But it takes a little while.

Ash Kelley (2:45)

Are mine regenerated now?

Alaina Urquhart (2:46)

Oh yeah, yours is probably good.

Matthew Lillard (2:47)

Love that.

Alaina Urquhart (2:48)

But yeah, they look like rotted. And they're shrivelly.

Matthew Lillard (2:51)

Wait, why are you here? Don't you guys normally shoot somewhere else?

SPEAKER_4 (2:55)

Yeah.

Ash Kelley (2:55)

At our house.

SPEAKER_4 (2:56)

Where's your house?

Alaina Urquhart (2:58)

It's in Massachusetts.

Matthew Lillard (2:59)

How's Massachusetts?

Alaina Urquhart (3:00)

Where in Massachusetts?

Matthew Lillard (3:01)

What if I come by later for dinner?

SPEAKER_4 (3:04)

Would that be creepy? No, not at all.

Matthew Lillard (3:07)

How are you doing this? Why did you guys start this?

Ash Kelley (3:10)

She was an autopsy tech and she's creepy. And I needed a job.

Alaina Urquhart (3:14)

You get to the next of me.
