This character, Nina, she wants to write about Eleanor's story.

She heard it while sitting in one of the survivors' meetings.

And they form this friendship.

And I actually want to play a scene of the two of you for the audience to kind of get a sense at the playfulness of your relationship.

But the two of you in this scene I'm about to play are at a diner.

And Nina recently lost her mother.

And she's talking to Eleanor about it.

Let's listen.

I'll probably cry if I do.

That's my guest today, June Squibb, in the movie Eleanor the Great, directed by my other guest, Scarlett Johansson.

June, Nina is this one person who seems to possess this clearest view into Eleanor and who she is.

And Eleanor is giving Nina that advice.

She's also kind of giving herself that advice, too.

she's talking about sitting with and sharing stories and you know you mentioned earlier about always looking forward is that something that you also sit with and thinking about the stories to tell the stories to sit with and the stories to think about you know um that are the past

Scarlett, you mentioned you have friends who are several decades older.

June, do you have

a lot of intergenerational relationships, relationships with younger folks?

Let's take a short break.

If you're just joining us, we're talking with Scarlett Johansson and June Squibb about their new film, Eleanor the Great.

We'll be right back after a break.
