What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — Intro: John with Cara Delevingne, who plays Margo in the movie; Nerdfighter questions on kissing Nat and relating to Margo

  • ★★ John introduces Cara Delevingne, who plays Margo in the Paper Towns movie, and says he will ask her real questions from real Nerdfighters. — 00:00:06 · Paper Towns (film), Nerdfighteria, Paper Towns
  • ★ Cara Delevingne: Asked what it is like to kiss Nat, Cara says he is a really good kisser, as she and a friend who also kissed him agreed. (playful) — 00:00:11
  • ★★ Cara Delevingne: Cara says she relates to Margo, which she thinks is why she got the part: she has lived many of the character's stories, said many of the script's lines, and like Margo runs on instinct. (hedged) — 00:00:30 · Paper Towns, Paper Towns (film)

00:00:49 — Quickfire: is she an octopus, is John a good executive producer, John in real life, bacon or Nutella, John's eyebrows versus hers

  • ★★ Asked the Nerdfighter question 'Are you an octopus?', Cara answers 'Obviously'; John's summary to Hank is that she likes his eyebrows and is an octopus. (playful) — 00:00:49
  • ★★ John, an executive producer of the movie, asks whether he is a good executive producer; Cara says no, then that he is, and that he is fun. (playful) — 00:00:51 · Paper Towns (film)
  • ★ Cara Delevingne: Asked for her opinion of John's eyebrows, Cara says she expected them to be coarser and finds them nice, with a good texture. (playful) — 00:01:17

00:01:36 — Has she read Paper Towns; favourite word; how she felt on being cast; John knew from her audition

  • ★★ Cara Delevingne: Cara says she has read Paper Towns and really liked it; she had not known how good John was and expected him to be younger, since he writes a young perspective so well. — 00:01:39 · Paper Towns
  • ★★ Cara Delevingne: Cara says she cried when she learned she had been cast, alone in a hotel room getting ready for work when the call came. — 00:02:03 · Paper Towns (film)
  • ★★ John says he knew Cara would get the part from the moment he watched her audition. — 00:02:16 · Paper Towns (film)

00:02:22 — What she wants to be when she grows up, Nat Wolff in three words, puppy-sized elephant, favourite fruit and colour, meaning of life

  • ★★ Cara Delevingne: Asked whether the world should contain a puppy-sized elephant or an elephant-sized puppy, Cara chooses the puppy-sized elephant, to John's delight. (playful) — 00:03:10 · puppy sized elephant
  • ★ Cara Delevingne: Asked the meaning of life, Cara answers: love. — 00:03:24 · meaning of life

00:03:28 — Wrap-up to Hank, belated good morning, see you Friday when the Project for Awesome begins

Humor (significant)

  • John, executive producer of the movie, asks Cara whether John is a good executive producer. — 00:00:51

    “No.”

  • Asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Cara escalates from President and Prime Minister to an astronaut, then: — 00:02:28

    “An alien-fighting Princess Peach with steroid injecting angel gun with wings.”

  • Cara describes Nat Wolff as rambunctious, delicious and nutritious, then adds 'and funny too'; John qualifies: — 00:03:06

    “he's less funny than he is nutritious.”

  • Wrapping up the interview, John sums up for Hank what he learned from Cara Delevingne: — 00:03:33

    “Cara Delevingne likes my eyebrows and is an octopus.”
