00:00There's that age that goes from a child adoring his mother
00:04to disrespecting her as a woman the same way his father does,
00:10and that, in that time period, is really salient.
00:14Hi, I'm Natalie Portman, and this is another take.
00:20Jesus, Mom.
00:22Tessie Durst?
00:23Yeah, I'm Durst's daughter.
00:25Yeah, I know who Tessie Durst is.
00:27This scene is right after Maddie's heard that Tessie Durst,
00:31a little Jewish girl, has gone missing.
00:34She feels compelled to go look for her,
00:38and she's frustrated that her son doesn't have the same desire to help,
00:43and that he's being sarcastic in the face of this other kid's tragedy.
00:49Don't you want to help?
00:50No, no. I want to eat.
00:52If you went missing, wouldn't you want Alan to help me find you?
00:55I should have driven with Dad.
00:57I think for a mother to be disrespected by her son,
01:01where there's that age that goes from a child adoring his mother
01:06to disrespecting her as a woman the same way his father does,
01:12and that, you know, in that time period, is really salient.
01:15So I think there's a real kind of horror aspect
01:18to your child becoming your oppressor.
01:22Did you murder Tessie Durst?
01:23It's the lamb, Seth.
01:26Noah, who plays my son, was really great to work with.
01:30We got to improvise a little bit within the scene,
01:33and it was so fun,
01:34even though, of course, he's being such a little s**t in the scene,
01:38but he's not like that in real life.
01:40If you went missing, wouldn't you want Alan to help me find you?
01:44Oh, so you want to look for Tessie?
01:46So you can count on the Durst to look for me if I go missing?
01:49Why are you always so angry at me?
01:50I think this scene sets up how obsessed Maddie is
01:55with this disappearance of this little girl,
01:58and really is the beginning of her seeking the truth.
02:03The lamb's been in the car the whole day.
02:05I'm sure it's gone to hell.
02:06The lamb is fine.
