PITT Me!
EW Well, I was gonna ask, ''Who's most likely to screw up on the first take?''
ROBERTS [Laughs] Brad!
PITT Me.
EW Who's most likely to ad-lib?
PITT Me.
ROBERTS You? Maybe me. I'm gonna go me for 500, Alex.
EW What was the strongest lure to do the movie? The script?
PITT For me, it starts there, and then it's the company you keep.
EW James and Brad, you've acted together before, in True Romance. Brad was smoking weed out of a honey-bear bong, and James was the hitman who came looking for Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette.
PITT Yeah, we have one brief moment through a screen door. [Does his stoned line from the movie] ''Don't you con-da-scend to me, man.'' [To Gandolfini] You have one of my all-time favorite scenes. Nah, I won't embarrass you. No, actually I will. When you're talking about your first kill with Patricia Arquette, oh man, that's a great scene.
EW Well, I was going to ask you all about each other's movies anyway. What are your favorites?
GANDOLFINI [To Pitt] Kalifornia.
PITT Ahh, now we get into that...
GANDOLFINI What do you mean? Kalifornia is a great movie. I don't know who you [have to] know to do that performance--and I don't want to know.
ROBERTS How did you go that long without washing your hair? I don't even like those kinds of movies and you were great in that.
EW What kinds of movies?
ROBERTS Travel the world and kill everyone that breathes.
GANDOLFINI As far as movies about getting into the mind of a psycho go, that was the best one I've seen.
EW I also want to ask what movie you wish you could wipe off your resume. And if you won't answer, I'll ask the others to weigh in for you.
PITT Oh my God.
ROBERTS If we don't answer that question, then you're going to ask them? Wow!
EW Come on, it's not that hard. For example, Tom Hanks says his is The Man With One Red Shoe.
PITT Well, he's got a lot of distance on that one, so that's pretty safe.
ROBERTS Wouldn't it be funny if he said Forrest Gump?
EW Okay, first your favorites.
GANDOLFINI Brockovich.
PITT Yeah, hands down.
ROBERTS Legends of the Fall.
PITT Really?
ROBERTS When you're crying at your brother's grave in the tall grass...
PITT [Begins to blush] Ahhh yes, very emotional.
GANDOLFINI When you're in that hot tub thing...
ROBERTS [Cracks up] Hot tub? I don't remember a hot tub in Legends of the Fall.
GANDOLFINI You know what I mean, that hot spring.
EW So what's the movie you don't want to own up to?
PITT I did a teen horror movie. I'll give you that one. It's called Cutting Class. Actually, I've never seen it.
EW Julia?
ROBERTS [Laughs] Well, with all the solid choices I've made, golly. You know what, the last time I was really honest about a movie and wasn't complimentary, people's feelings were so hurt. Because the point is, nobody walks onto a set and says, ''Yeah, let's really make some crap.''
