You don't get this with Emily and Greg because you feel connected to every word they say, every look they share, every smile they make towards each other, every move. You feel drawn to their actions because they are in the scene. They are not just playing it for the sake of filming.
The writing was obviously always fabulous. So they had a great script to always work with. But yes, Greg and Emily treated it as their own. They were certainly improvising and delivering extemporaneously. Not only that, they were playing off of each other naturally while going there so the other was never surprised. Fit like a glove.
