Thank you Squrik for this.

GUMBEL: What?

CLAYSON: I saw "A.I." yesterday.

GUMBEL: Oh, yeah?

CLAYSON: Yeah.

GUMBEL: Talk to me.

MARK McEWEN (Meteorologist): She says it was good.

CLAYSON: It's a really great movie. It's a really, really great movie. It's Stanley Kubrick--sort of a classic Stanley Kubrick film, but it's got a Steven Spielberg soul, which is a great combination.

McEWEN: Oh, I like that.

CLAYSON: I--yeah.

GUMBEL: Really?

CLAYSON: It's very, very good.

GUMBEL: Is it...

CLAYSON: Audrey was crying, though, I mean, like, half the movie. I couldn't--she was, like, 'Waah.' She was a total mess.

JULIE CHEN (Anchor): And Haley Joel Osment, he makes you cry?

CLAYSON: Haley Joel--oh, my gosh.

CHEN: He's so good.

McEWEN: He's so good.

CHEN: He's so good.

GUMBEL: Really?

CLAYSON: He's in every scene. I mean, he is the movie and he s--is--if--if he is as good 10 years from now, it--is now...

GUMBEL: Is it scary?

CLAYSON: He is such a talented kid.

GUMBEL: Is it scary?

CLAYSON: Nope.

GUMBEL: No?

CLAYSON: Mm-mm.

McEWEN: You know what's great about Haley Joel Osment? When you meet him in person, he's a kid.

CLAYSON: Yeah.

McEWEN: You know, he's not, 'Hello, nice to meet you.' He's like, 'Hey!'

CLAYSON: That's right. He's like, 'Hey, how are you?' He's got a baseball cap on.

McEWEN: He's just a--yeah. That's right.

CLAYSON: Yeah, it's very--it's a techno movie, but not so that you're sort of disinterested in it.

GUMBEL: Huh.

McEWEN: Plus, it's got a...

CLAYSON: It's very good.

GUMBEL: I'd like to see that.

McEWEN: I can't think of his name right now, but the gentleman...

CLAYSON: Sam Robards.

McEWEN: No, the one who was in the--the sniper movie, he was also in "The Talen"--Jude Law, who I think is very good.

CLAYSON: Jude Law, yes.

CHEN: Oh, yes.

GUMBEL: He's good.

CLAYSON: Yes.

McEWEN: He's very good.

GUMBEL: You know what I want to see--separate? I want to see "Jurassic Park III," which looks wonderful.

McEWEN: Yeah.

GUMBEL: I also want to see "Fast and the Furious." I know it looks like a stupid movie...

CHEN: Who's in that?

McEWEN: Well...

GUMBEL: Vin Diesel. Your guy Vin Diesel.

CLAYSON: Oh. Yeah, I like him.

CHEN: Oh, I've seen him promoting it on the cover of Time Out.

GUMBEL: Right?

CLAYSON: Yeah.

GUMBEL: Yeah, I mean, it looks--it--it really does look like a stupidmovie, except for when you see the trailer, there's enough stuff in there that you go, 'Yeah, I'd like to see that.'

CHEN: Trailer's like--What?--like lots of fast action and...

GUMBEL: Yeah, yeah, a lot of--a lot of good action, a lot of fast stuff. And you know me, I don't like cars, but this stuff--they make it seem fairly interesting.

McEWEN: This is the same person who "Coyote Ugly" was in his top 10 of last year.

CHEN: Yeah.

GUMBEL: No, it was not in my top 10.

McEWEN: Top 20?

GUMBEL: No, it wasn't.

McEWEN: You said you liked it.

GUMBEL: I said it--no, I said it was a better film than you had been led to believe, and it was not the kind of film that you had been led to believe it was.

McEWEN: Which was--and you liked it.

CHEN: Right.

GUMBEL: It was not a T&A film. I thought it was a cute film.

McEWEN: OK.

GUMBEL: I thought it was a cute film. It was not a T&A film, you know.

McEWEN: OK.

GUMBEL: But there's some good ones coming out now. What?

CLAYSON: When is--when is "Ocean's...

CHEN: I was...

CLAYSON: I was going to say, I keep asking about "Ocean's Eleven"...

GUMBEL: "Oceans Eleven"? That's a long way off.

CLAYSON: ...but I am really, really dying...

McEWEN: I don't think this year, is it? I don't think it's this year.

GUMBEL: I don't think so. I think that's a long way off.

CLAYSON: You know what is coming up is "America's Sweethearts"--"American Sweethearts"?

McEWEN: Yeah. I'm seeing that Friday.

GUMBEL: What is that?

CHEN: It's out Friday. Oh, no. I've seen the commercial.

CLAYSON: I'm seeing it Friday, too.

GUMBEL: What is "American Sweethearts"?

CLAYSON: It's with Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Billy Crystal is in it, too. It's supposed to be quite good.

CHEN: And John Cusack. And he picks good movies.

CLAYSON: And John Cusack.

GUMBEL: I like John Cusack.

CLAYSON: Yeah, he's good, too.

CHEN: He picks good ones.

McEWEN: I love John Cusack. I do, too.

GUMBEL: Yeah, he's wonderful.

McEWEN: Big, tall drink of water.

GUMBEL: You know, I wish his sister did more work.

McEWEN: His sister's funny.

GUMBEL: I like her, too.

CHEN: She has her own TV show, right?

McEWEN: Did they...

CLAYSON: She--that's--that's shot in Chicago, yeah.

McEWEN: Has--is that on now? I know it was on. Did they pick it up? I think it's on.

CLAYSON: She has a family, she has kids, she just had a baby, she--she's got a life.

GUMBEL: Yeah.

McEWEN: Did you ever see "Working Girl" where she says to her...

CHEN: Oh.

McEWEN: ...'Sometimes I dress up like I--I bought--with underwear on an dance in front of a mirror, doesn't make me Madonna.'

CHEN: You know, I love her line when she goes--going through Sigourney Weaver's closet, she goes, '$ 800 and it's not even leather.'

McEWEN: Yeah.

CHEN: So funny.

McEWEN: That's a great movie. "Working Girl."

CHEN: Funny.

McEWEN: Very funny lines all through that.

GUMBEL: All right, if somebody asks you what's your quirkiest film that you think none of us have seen, your favorite film?

McEWEN: Quirkiest film?

GUMBEL: Just a--just a little film that you think nobody else has seen.

CLAYSON: I hate it when he does this.

CHEN: You first. We can think.

McEWEN: You haven't seen this one. A quirky little film that I think is brilliant is "Searching for Bobby Fischer."

GUMBEL: I saw that one. I saw that one.

CLAYSON: Who's in that?

McEWEN: I love that movie. Laurence Fishburne's in that...

GUMBEL: I like--I like that.

McEWEN: ...Ben Kingsley's in that...

GUMBEL: Joseph Mantegna.

McEWEN: Right. What's her name who was Pat Nixon--Joan Allen is in that.

GUMBEL: I like her.

McEWEN: And the little kid is just a chess kid who's not an actor, who's never been in anything else.

GUMBEL: He's wi--the biggest eyes on the planet.

McEWEN: He's brilliant. It'll make you cry every single time.

GUMBEL: It's good movie.

CLAYSON: Wait--Bobby...

GUMBEL and McEWEN: (In unison) "Searching for Bobby Fischer."

CLAYSON: "Searching for Bobby Fischer."

CHEN: "A Little Romance" with Diane Lane. Very old movie. It's so cute.

GUMBEL: Oh, yeah? You ought to see "The Nephew," with nobody you'd recognize. Maybe Pierce Brosnan, that's all.

CLAYSON: Oh, you don't like Pierce Brosnan.

GUMBEL: But you ought to see this movie. I don't like him as James Bond.

CLAYSON: Oh, OK.

McEWEN: It's no "Coyote Ugly."

CLAYSON: All right.

McEWEN: Yeah.
