"What [the audience doesn't] get to see is the masterclass is watching Meryl give us a different take on the scene that we're doing," Cooper says. "She'll do the drugged-up version, she'll do the nasty under belly, she'll do the comic version, she'll do so many. That must be such a delight for the director when it comes to putting this together. He's got all these choices and can go on a great ride."
