Pataky sits at the table and tells tales about The Fast and the Furious. Just now she's on the cover of Women's Health, turned at her hips, with the words "Great Butt!" and a giant red arrow pointing to that very butt. She signs one for me, slides it across the table, and asks, "What do you think?" The autograph? The butt? The cover shot? Who wants to answer that? Hemsworth, his hands folded behind his head, seems to understand. "It's great," he says, gracious and aware. "It's a great butt, honey." She is pleased to hear it, particularly from him. "Good," she says. "Very good answer."
