The teaser opens with a black-and-white scene of the pair in a park, sitting back-to-back, while Cooper as Bernstein playfully tries to guess the number Mulligan's Felicia is picturing.

"So, how long do we have to do this for?" he asks with a smile.

"Oh, we have to build up a strong connection," she replies.
