R. Seacrest: And Ashley Scott is your co-star in this movie.
The Rock: Yeah, Ashley Scott. She's fantastic.
R. Seacrest: We've got her standing by, she's gonna come out in just a second, but... (audience cheers as picture of Ashley is displayed) here's what you have to know, this was your first love scene, right?
The Rock: First, yeah. First love scene.
R. Seacrest: Alright, we're going to go detail, by detail. We're going to re-enact. Well not we
(indicates himself and 'The Rock') but we're going to talk about the love scene right after the break, Ashley Scott is with us on-air live. The Rock hangin'.
(After break, clip from 'Walking Tall' shown and Ashley has joined 'The Rock' with Ryan Seacrest)
R. Seacrest: Welcome back. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Ashley Scott from that movie right there, Walking Tall. By the way, you're like brother/sister you two. You're like poking each other ...
The Rock: I know.
R. Seacrest: ... and making noises during the commercial break.
The Rock: She's terrible.
(He and Ashley laugh and exchange more playful hits)
R. Seacrest: This one, Ashley Scott, by the way, tough to warm up to this one, isn't it?
(more playful shoves between The Rock and Ashley)
R. Seacrest: See.
(playfulness continues)
R. Seacrest: She's very high maintenance, huh?
Ashley Scott: (playful diva attitude) Very high maintenance.
R. Seacrest: Tensions on the set all the time, right?
Ashley Scott: (playful diva attitude) Yes, darling.
R. Seacrest: You expected complete attention from The Rock while you were shooting this, didn't you?
Ashley Scott: Of course, that's why I was always like this (playfully jumps in The Rock's face)
The Rock: Yeah, 'Look at me, look at me'
(shared laughs)
The Rock: It was great, she was awesome, by the way.
R. Seacrest: Now how was it when you first met Dwayne?
Ashley Scott: Great!
Ashley Scott: Yeah, he was alright. He started showering.
R. Seacrest: What?
Ashley Scott: I was like take, you know, the soap out of the wrapper and once he learned that.
R. Seacrest: He started showering?
Ashley Scott: Yeah.
R. Seacrest: What do you mean?
Ashley Scott: I'm kidding. 
R. Seacrest: Oh, I was like there's a whole scene that was cut from this movie.
Ashley Scott: No, no--
The Rock: That's the rated R version--
Ashley Scott: No, he was trying to save money and was keeping the soap in the wrapper.
R. Seacrest: I think Dwayne, lets just be honest. I know you were worried about it when you first went out on that date at the Chinese Restaurant, but at this point I've seen what you maybe making, don't worry about the money. I think you're good buddy, I think you're alright.
Ashley Scott: He smells just fine, I'm kidding.
R. Seacrest: Now, there is a love scene in this movie and you've done a love scene, what, once before?
Ashley Scott: Once before, yes.
R. Seacrest: Now, just because we want to be educated, what is it like to be on the set and have to uh, maintain composure while working you way through the many different beats coreographed to comprise a love scene with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson actually.
Ashley Scott: Well...um...(laughs)
The Rock: So when your tongues touch, what...(jokingly illustrating with hands)
(Dwayne and Ashley begin to joke and laugh about it)
R. Seacrest: It's on a piece of paper and then you have to bring that to life.
Ashley Scott: You do have to bring it to life. It's kind of bizarre, I mean you know it's..you're not... it's middle of the day.
The Rock: It's so un-sexy too.
Ashley Scott: Yeah, (pointing to The Rock) he's so unattractive.
The Rock: (shocked) Who?
(they look at each other and laugh)
The Rock: No, it's just. You're there, there's grips, there's everybody. Everyone's like (yawn) 'When's lunch?'
Ashley Scott: Yeah, and they're all staring at you. And I'm kind of, not like, you know, a girly girl. So to watch all these guys kind of, you know, watch you be all sexy lady, I don't know, it's just awkward.
R. Seacrest: (to Rock) And the first time you had to do it?
The Rock: Yeah, Yeah. And it got---
R. Seacrest: Not I was just going to say so how many times you have to do it? What 20 times? 15 times?
The Rock: Well I kept telling Kevin Bray 'I'm really not feeling it yet'...
Ashley Scott: ...Yeah, I was like 'I don't think that was right'....
The Rock: .... 'Let's keep it going, keep it going baby'
(audience howls/cheers, Ashley and The Rock share laughter)
Ashley Scott: Yeah, I was like, my lines kept getting messed up and things just...
R. Seacrest: (to The Rock) Does your wife ever get jealous? (To Ashley) You have a fiancée right?
Ashley Scott: I do.
R. Seacrest: Does he ever get jealous of that? Because I know I talk about something on this television show and I get a call every night from my girlfriend. And that's not even near a love scene. Do they ever uh...
The Rock: No, it was good because they become friends.
Ashley Scott: Right.
The Rock: Which was really good. But even still, even though they're friends, it's still like your fiancée or...
Ashley Scott: It's awkward.
The Rock: ...your husband. So when my wife watches it, she watches it I'm like (pretends to be sitting at theater) 'okay, any minute now' (jerks as if slapped on back of head) 'there's the slap.'
Ashley Scott: Yeah, it's weird. It's like, the people that you know and that you love and you're intimate with in you personal life. You don't ever want them to see you making out with somebody else. It's just...
R. Seacrest: No, you want to hide that. Keep that under wraps if that's going to happen....
The Rock: Especially if it's good, you know.
(He and Ashley share a laugh)
R. Seacrest: Is Dwayne a uh... and this is a professional question... Is
Dwayne a good kisser? On a scale of one to ten, what would you give him? 
Ashley Scott: Is this legal? (laughs) I would give him a 13.
(audience cheers/claps)
The Rock: Thank you (pulls out wallet)
R. Seacrest: Just for the benefit of all the men wanting to apply the tactics of a... uh 13, what are the extra special things that kick them up to a 13?
Ashley Scott: No, I can't.. 
(Rock pretends to pay her off for nice kiss rating, she starts laughing with him and joking around some more)
R. Seacrest: It's the passion behind the kiss right?
Ashley Scott: Come on, look at him. I mean, how could it not be a 13?
R. Seacrest: He's loves it, he loves it.
Ashley Scott: (jokingly) I'm from South Carolina, he can be like my brother, you know. I'm kidding. (pause) Nobody got that at all.
R. Seacrest: There was an 'oh' in the corner.
Ashley Scott: My mom just went... ah (plays at embarrassment)
R. Seacrest: I asked Dwayne how did he know that it was true love when he
met his wife. How about for you?
Ashley Scott: You know what, I fell in love with my best friend.
R. Seacrest: Was it a platonic relationship?
Ashley Scott: Yeah, totally. You know, we were just friends for awhile and he knows everything about me and and everything. And he just, you know, he just loves me and just supports me and I've never had, kind of, a relationship that started with such a strong base before. And he really just lets me be and just, he's amazing. I don't know, you just know. You just know when you know, I can't explain it.
R. Seacrest: There is no way a guy meets you and says to himself. "Ah, I'd like to keep this platonic forever'.
(laughter)
Ashley Scott: Maybe not forever.
R. Seacrest: I think he when he went into it he was like, 'okay, maybe if I go the friendship I can get in closest to you'.
Ashley Scott: No, I don't think so...I mean uh....No...cause we uh...no...maybe, who knows, I don't know, he's not here to defend for himself. But yeah, we were just friends, really.
R. Seacrest: Well congratulations to both of you. Everything clicking in your lives. Thanks for being here and hanging out.
Ashley Scott: Thanks for having us.
(As Ryan Seacrest speaks, Ashley slips The Rock his money back and they share another laugh)
R. Seacrest: Walking Tall in theaters right now, check it out.
