For those of you who do not want to or cannot download the interview on CBS This Morning, I have typed out the entire interview for your reading pleasure. Please realize that these were kids being interviewed so some of what they say may not make sense.
CBS - Mark McEwen (The
person conducting the interview)
CBS: ...where the comedy Big Daddy has been making some big noise at the box
office. Adam Sandler stars as a thirty-something who's unwilling to grow up, finds himself
taking care of a five-year-old orphan. Six-and-a-half (now seven) year old identical twins
Cole and Dylan Sprouse share the role, they're acting veterans. But Big Daddy is their
first feature film.
(Brief scene from the movie is now shown)
CBS: (Laughs at the movie clip)
Dylan and Cole Sprouse join us this morning. Hey guys! McEwen, I'm the one who was in the
middle, McEwen. First of all, tell me about this dog you have...you got a new dog?
Cole: We got a brand new dog
that woke up two of two babysitters at two o'clock in the morning...
Dylan: She heard this big bang
going on on the floor...
Cole: Jumped four feet off the
bed...
CBS: Wow!
Cole: Climbed back up, went on
top of the pillow on one of the heads then went...
Dylan: All the way down to the
bottom where...
Cole: Where the feet were and
she was digging a hole.
Dylan: She tried to dig a hole
like running around in circles like this (he demonstrates how the dog was spinning around
and pretends to dig a hole).
CBS: I'm so glad I asked this
question. Aren't I? I'm thrilled I asked this question. So what's your dog's name?
Both Boys: Olive.
CBS: Olive. So tell me about
working with Adam Sandler. Was it fun being in Big Daddy?
Both Boys: Yes.
CBS: What was fun about it?
Cole: Well, we got to play after
that, play football with Adam.
Dylan: Pinball...
Cole: And do cool stuff with
him.
CBS: I here you do an
impersonation, you do an imitation of Rob Schneider who's in the movie. Cole, could you do
it for me, do you both want to do it for me? Let's see it.
Both Boys:
Fish...Pony...Hip...HipHop...Hiphopanonomous...Damn you Sonny Koufax, you give him all the
easy ones.
CBS: (laughs) That's pretty
good. Austin Powers, let's see you do Austin Powers.
Dylan: I put the "grr"
in swinger, baby! But, there's another version that Cole made up. I put the
"grr" in swinger and they put the baby in the cradle.
CBS: (laughs) You made that up
(gesturing towards Cole)?
Cole: Uh huh...I didn't really
want to say it.
CBS: You didn't really want to
say it? I don't blame you. So now that you...I mean do people ask you for autographs now
Dylan?
Dylan: (Nodding his head) Lots!
CBS: Can you write
"Dylan?" Do you know how to write your name?
(Dylan nods)
Cole: In cursive.
CBS: Yeah. You know, when you're
in movies, a lot of girls like want to meet you after you're in a movie.
(Dylan nods)
Cole: I know and that's sick!
CBS: That's sick?
Dylan: Sick!
Cole: Like Adam says, love
stinks.
CBS: Love stinks? Do you have a
girlfriend? I hear you have a girlfriend (pointing to Dylan).
Cole: I do, I have a girlfriend.
CBS: You have a girlfriend?
Cole: And, it's my own TV.
Both Boys: I have a dream about
my own TV.
CBS: (laughs) Now, have you seen
Tarzan?
Cole: We've seen Tarzan.
CBS: What did you think of
Tarzan?
Cole: Umm...Cool.
CBS: Cool? Did you see Star
Wars?
Cole: We've seen Star Wars.
CBS: I told you that you guys
were cooler than Jar Jar Binks you know that?
(Both boys nod)
CBS: Now, um...do you watch
Rugrats?
Cole: We watch Rugrats.
CBS: What do you like about
Rugrats?
Cole: The little babies that
crawl around and talk.
CBS: Do you watch "All
That" on Nickelodeon too?
Both Boys: We watch "All
That".
CBS: That's a great show. Isn't
that a great show? That's a very good show.
Cole: My mom even likes it.
CBS: Your mom? You know, in the
movie, the little boy says stuff. He says naughty words, and he just does everything. What
would happen...what would your mom do if you did what the little boy in the movie did?
Dylan: Put us in time-out.
Cole: And send us up to our
room.
Dylan: And she'll give,
she'll...um...
Cole: Don't say it!
CBS: (laughs)
Dylan: No, Cole.
CBS: Say it. What was he going
to say that you didn't want him to say?
Cole: Well, our parents didn't
want us to say it.
CBS: Oh, they didn't want you to
say it? Okay.
Dylan: And there's...it's not
that one...there's...um um um...
CBS: Okay, I won't ask you any
more about that. So what happens when you're older, like when you're ten. What are you
going to do when you're ten?
(long pause)
Cole: Well...
Dylan: Play Pokemon.
CBS: Play Pokemon?
Cole: Whatever you did when you
were ten.
CBS: You're going to do whatever
I did when I was ten?
Cole: Well, what did you do when
you were ten?
CBS: I was waiting for my first
movie offer when I was ten, I never got one. Do your friends think its cool that you're in
a movie?
Cole: Well, maybe you should
have got a fax.
CBS: I should have got a fax?
Dylan: A job.
CBS: A job?
Cole: What's better a fax or a
job?
CBS: I think a job. I was a
newspaper boy when I was ten. Well, I tell ya, Dylan...
Cole: (looking at Dylan) Do we
have to be a newspaper boy?
Dylan: Are you a weirdo? Cole,
are you a weirdo?
CBS: (laughing) Cole are you a
weirdo.
Cole: Oh, please stop bugging me
in the name of the law.
CBS: Dylan, Cole Sprouse, you
guys are as cool as you can be. Thanks for being on our show okay?
Cole: Wait!
CBS: Wait? (pause) Okay, thank
you.
