EMILY WATSON: Hi, I'm Emily Watson. I play Elsa Einstein, a genius. Please don't. This is the third time I've played Mrs. Geoffrey Rush. And we actually have a really nice working relationship. We just have that sense of feeling comfortable together, and we have a physical familiarity.

What I've really enjoyed is the fact that Jeffrey and I look quite similar. We've both got these kind of crazy gray wigs. And we're playing people who've got to the stage where they just don't care. And that's really fun. When we were preparing, I said, Geoffrey, I just—I think we're going to have to play them as Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Almost twins, in a way.

And, background action! Watching the coffin.

EMILY WATSON: Here comes the coffin.

EMILY WATSON: I had such a lovely time working with Ron. Einstein! Like there's Einstein. Einstein.

EMILY WATSON: He's such a legend, isn't he? He's so clear and strong and the way that he finds that rhythm of storytelling.

ALBERT!

GEOFFREY RUSH: If we leave, they win.

EMILY WATSON: It's just really exciting. The idea of this man, sort of really on his own, without what our sense of what a modern scientific realm is, making these immense discoveries. But also, being sort of right at the center of history as the 20th century unfolds.

Cutting. Checking.

EMILY WATSON: Yeah, I find it quite exciting. I hope that's what people get from it.
