Bening: Amy, you got it, didn't you? (Laughter.)

Swank (to Adams): Did you read it? Did you like it?

Adams: I'm not getting into this! (Thunderous laughter.)

Swank: Amy got the role! Amy will be playing the role that I wanted!

Adams: Let me just say, I'm not doing it. We don't normally talk about this!

Bening: Don't say anything you don't want to say. However, we want to know the dirt!

Adams: I felt at this time with my daughter being a baby, I couldn't go there emotionally and still be there for her in the way I felt like an infant deserves.

Bening: You mean, like, sobbing and screaming and then going home?

Adams: I felt like this was my first career/mom decision, where if I went to work every day and played this girl and came home, she's not going to have me -- I'm not going to have the experience. I will miss this first year, and I can't have that back. If I'm lucky, there will be a beautiful script that will come to me at some point in my career, but I'm never getting that time back with my infant daughter.
