[Show opens with shot of Toronto]
[Caption: Toronto]

BG: Watch this. The poster for the Republic of Love is right over here. Come this way, won't you? This is Emilia Fox [pointing to Tom's character] and this is Bruce Greenwood [pointing to Fay's character]. We had a great time. We had a lot of fun.

BG: There's this guy who I play who just wears his heart on his sleeve, you know. He's just without guile, without an agenda, and.....without a girl. [Laughs]

[Caption: He plays a radio host with three ex-wives.]

BG: You know, he's trying, he's out there.

BG: And he's a decent guy and there's a bunch of swings and misses and then finally [makes a noise like an explosion].

Clip from Republic of Love

BG: I wanted to make it because I love the sentiment it evokes and I love what it talks about. I believe in that stuff and I've spent so much time playing bad guys and it's not really who I am.

Clip from Double Jeopardy

BG: I felt I was getting a little, not typecast, but perceived as that being what I do, and it's not particularly. It just happened to kind of work out that way. So, I wanted to do something that was a little more frivolous.

[Caption: Unlike his character, Bruce has been happily married for more than 15 years.]

BG: Whether you're single or whether you're not single, all of us remember those times when we were single and when we're going - okay, maybe, maybe this'll work.

BG: Don't expect to find love here [points in front]. Don't expect to find it there [points behind]. Just know that it's out there [sweeping motion with arms], and let it come from wherever.

BG: [Referring to Republic of Love poster] Now do you think this makes me look kind of tiny, or is it as though this is life size and I was like [crouches beside Tom's head] that's a big head. I'd be scared of that guy. Yeah, so, no, here we are. So, come see our movie on Valentine's Day.
