Howie: Please welcome Rachael Leigh Cook!

Howie: $16 million

Rachael: 16.8

Howie: 16.8?

Rachael: Yeah

Howie: I forgot. I was just round-- I should've-- $17 MILLION!

Rachael: That sounds good!

Howie: Does that sound good?

Rachael: Yes that does.

Howie: You're a movie star! You've got the #1 movie.

Rachael: I... I haven't really gotten in touch with that fact yet. Six weeks from now I'll be like, "We're #1!". People will be like, "Rachael, it's okay. You need to calm down a little bit."

Howie: But isn't that exciting? Your whole life is going to change now. Have you ever dreamed you'll be in the #1 box office-- when you were doing it, did you think it will be #1 at the box office?

Rachael. No.

Howie: No?

Rachael: Not really. I didn't dare to expect or hope even.

Howie: But you've worked with these guys befre. It must have been fun. Because all you kids work together. You kids-- you kids today. You nutty kids.

Rachael: Yeah.

Howie: Freddie Prinze, Jr? You've worked with him before.

Rachael: Yeah. I met Freddie doing "House of Yes". About 2-- 2 1/2 years ago. And I wanted to work with him again because that was so good.

Howie: Right.

Rachael: And here we are!

Howie: A dream come true.

Rachael: Yep!

Howie: Now you started out modeling?

Rachael: Yeah...

Howie: Like Christopher! Right? He started out modeling.

Rachael: That's cool!

Howie: I'm just giving you info! You started out modeling, right?

Rachael: Well, when I was a kid. I mean I did like the Target ads.

Howie: Oh now that you're an old, middle-aged woman.

Rachael: Exactly... exactly.

(laughter)

Howie: How do you remember?!? How old are you? You're still in your teens aren't you?

Rachael. Guess.

Howie: You want me to guess?

Rachael: I want you to guess.

Howie: You're still in your teens, aren't you?

(laughter)

Rachael: (silent)

Howie: Well just give me a hint... you're in your teens, aren't you?

(laughter)

    Howie: Are you allowed to vote?
    Rachael: I'm 19.

Howie: You're 19!

Rachael. Yes.

Howie: I would have said 19!

(laughter)

            Had you given me another second. You're 19 years old.

Rachael: I am 19.

Howie: So you started out-- you were in the Target ads. Were you in the Target ads?

Rachael: Yes I was.

Howie: Or as my wife prefers... Tarzhay....

Rachael: Tarzhay...

Howie: Tarzhay... yes.

Rachael: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Howie: And then-- you know where I know you from? You know where? I don't know you from movies. I don't know you from Target! And I think everyone knows you from this. Can we role the clip? Shows from where I know her from.

Rachael: Oh, okay.

Howie: Watch this!

(Clip of anti-drug commercial)

(cheers)

Howie: Can I just say something? You must be a dream in the kitchen!

(laughter)

            Was that fun? Getting to smash up all that stuff?

Rachael: I wish I could say it's as spontaneous as it looks. Its really not. And breaking stuff is kinda hard.

Howie: Really?

Rachael: Yeah.

Howie: Well, you have to take all that time-- First you have to take the heroin.

Rachael: I'm not going to--

Howie: I'm kidding. No, no. You don't take heroin. That's a good-- I think that's a good public service announcement. My kids watched that. I made them watch that. And besides looking like it was fun, I think you really got the message across. Did you do a new one? Somebody told me you're doing a new one.

Rachael: Not that they told me about.

Howie: Okay. Then surprise! You're doing a new one.

Rachael: But that pan. The pan is heavy. It's really heavy. Yeah.

Howie: The pan is heavy.

Rachael: And the plate is tough. It was such-- we did it like 5 times. They're like, "Rachael, you're only getting the first three. You're going to have to swing a little harder."

Howie: That's the direction they gave you?

Rachael: Yeah.

Howie: Okay. So you got to smash-- well you did a good job!

Rachael: Thank you.

Howie: Built yourself up for it. You just got back from Sundance?

Rachael: Yes!

Howie: Was that exciting?

Rachael: It was fun! It was fun... the film was really well received. Had a good time... it was cold... got a cold. (sniff)

Howie: Are you sick right now?

(laughter)

            You have a cold, really?

Rachael: (almost sneezing) False alarm! No, just kidding!

Howie: You have a cold? I'm not kidding!

(laughter)

Rachael (to Christopher): Sorry. I think we should trade places or something.

Christopher: No, you're doing great! This is great!

Howie: You have a cold! Ans-- Yes or no!!!

(laughter)

Rachael: No.

Howie: You don't. Okay, I thought you had a cold. So anyway...

Rachael: (sneezes)

Howie: OH!!!

(cheers and clapping)

Howie: (turns back on Rachael) You see-- you should take care of yourself. So when you were at Sundance, do you find-- you enjoy seeing the stars? Did you get to meet a lot of big strs from other films?

Rachael: Ummm.... who did I see?

Howie: Pardon me?

Rachael: They said Harvery Keitel was there but I didn't see him.

Howie: You didn't see him?

Rachael: No.

Howie: Somebody told me you took a whirlpool?

Rachael: Yes. MTV did this interview in a hot tub thing. It was our first day there. Oh. It was so scary.

Howie: Scary?

Rachael: It was-- well, it was weird because we were in a hot tub for like 45 minutes. No, maybe like half an hour.

Howie: We? Who's we?

Rachael: Me and my co-star Ryan Alosio.

Howie: Really?

Rachael: Yeah and uh...

Howie: He was in the hot tub?

Rachael: And the MTV guy.

Howie: Now is he your boyfriend, in real life?

(pause)

 Howie: I'll take that as a "yes". You heard it here on the Howie Mandel Show.

Rachael: Yes, he is. And he's a fabulous actor. And the movie's so good.

Howie: That's great. Did you meet in the movie? Is that where the romance blossomed?

Rachael: Yeah!

Howie: Oh! Well that's great!

Rachael: He's so cute!

Howie: He is. He's-- Oh. You're in love. So I bet he has a cold too, huh?

Rachael: He got over his first. So I'm... trying to give it back to him.

Howie: Alright. So anyway, you're in the hot tub...

Rachael: And it was just barely-- there was something with the altitude and how hot it was. It was like-- I was playing with the thermometer. It was like 120 degrees! Like, doesn't boiling water somwhere are there?

Howie: Does water boil at 120?

Rachael: Yeah. Yes, yes. No, it's 200.

Howie: What is-- what is the boiling point? 212? 212.

Rachael: Well, it felt like it was 212!

(laughter)

               And it was really hot. And we had to get out and there's snow. And it was weird. We started like hallucinating!

Howie: Oh really?

Rachael: I couldn't stand up. It was very strange.

Howie: Wow. So you survived it!

Rachael: I did.

Howie: So what are you doing for Valentine's Day?

Rachael: Valentine's Day? Ummm.... I don't know. I'm looking forward to a really fun one though.

Howie: Yeah. It'll be great. Hopefully you'll get over your cold and everything will work out.

Rachael: That would be nice.

Howie: And hopefully-- You'll still be #1 at the box office.

Rachael: Yeah.

Howie: And you'll come back next time you do another project?

Rachael: For sure.
