The Transcript of Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel's GMA Appearance: A Miasma of Crazy

ROBIN ROBERTS: (suddenly serious) But Valentine's Day. It is such a cute and lovely and just...a feel-good. A feel-good movie.

JENNIFER GARNER: It does make you feel. You do leave happy, don't you?

JESSICA BIEL: Absolutely.

ROBIN ROBERTS: (after endless babbling) Well, we're going to play a little clip of it. Jessica, your character is a little...a little mad about the...about Valentine's Day...

JESSICA BIEL: You can say it, she's neurotic.

ROBIN ROBERTS: NO I WAS--

JESSICA BIEL: She's obsessed, yeah.

JENNIFER GARNER: She's the funniest character in the movie.

JESSICA BIEL: Thank you. (She strokes Garner's bare shoulder. An electric charge passes between the two.)

THE CLIP PLAYS FOR AN INTERMINABLE LENGTH. AFTER IT ENDS, BOTH ACTRESSES LOOK UNCOMFORTABLE.

ROBIN ROBERTS: You weren't even watching.

JENNIFER AND JESSICA SNAP OUT OF THEIR REVERIE.

ROBIN ROBERTS: You were just talking amongst yourselves during the clip. (To stagehands) Did you see them?

JENNIFER GARNER: We were--

JESSICA BIEL: --we've seen that before.

JENNIFER GARNER: We were there.

ROBIN ROBERTS: You lived it. You lived it. (Pointing to Biel) You tell such a funny story about one of Jennifer's...her oldest daughter...who didn't realize who her mom is.

JESSICA BIEL: (After panicked look, a realization) Oh, right. Right.

JENNIFER GARNER: (Icy stare)

JESSICA BIEL: I, um, it was just such a sweet story of, um...she went to school one day and someone said, "You live with Jennifer Garner," and she says, "No, no I don't."

JENNIFER GARNER: (Icy stare)

JESSICA BIEL: "I don't live with her." And then I think she came home and said, "Mommy...who is Jennifer Garner?"

JENNIFER GARNER: "Why did people say that? You're Jennifer Affleck." She says that to me all the time.

ROBIN ROBERTS: She knows you as mom.

JENNIFER GARNER: Yeah.

JESSICA BIEL: It was so sweet. I just love it.

JENNIFER GARNER: She did have a moment, though, where she was like, "You're Jennifer Affleck. Why do people call you Jennifer Garner?"

ROBIN ROBERTS: I just don't get it. They're just now getting to that age where they're understanding who you are. (Suddenly lifting arms high into the air) Jessica, this does...this snow doesn't...doesn't stop you at all. Kilimanjaro, right?

JESSICA BIEL: Oh, yeah.

JENNIFER GARNER: How about that, right?

ROBIN ROBERTS: And CLIMBING!
