OK, alright, hold up. |
00:01:02.063 - 00:01:04.451 |
Someone has to say something
nice about my friend Herb tonight, |
00:01:04.542 - 00:01:07.981 |
so I'm gonna give it a shot. |
00:01:08.062 - 00:01:10.450 |
I have followed Herb Lee
my whole writing career. |
00:01:10.541 - 00:01:13.896 |
I followed him through three publishing
houses, and when he started his own. |
00:01:13.980 - 00:01:18.336 |
It's embarrassing to need your editor
so badly, so I'm gratified to announce |
00:01:18.419 - 00:01:23.333 |
that he has now followed me
to Central Connecticut. Thank you. |
00:01:23.418 - 00:01:27.171 |
I didn't follow you,
I had three heart attacks. |
00:01:27.257 - 00:01:29.612 |
This was a pre-emptive strike
against decrepitude. |
00:01:29.697 - 00:01:32.335 |
Well, whatever brought you here |
00:01:32.416 - 00:01:34.976 |
to the beautiful
Marigold Retirement Community, |
00:01:35.056 - 00:01:37.694 |
I just want to say I'm glad you're here,
right down the road from my place, |
00:01:37.775 - 00:01:41.403 |
and as long as Pippa
keeps making that butterflied lamb, |
00:01:41.494 - 00:01:44.725 |
I'll do anything.
I'll even caddy for you. |
00:01:44.813 - 00:01:47.122 |
That's fine,
as long as I don't have to play golf. |
00:01:47.213 - 00:01:49.772 |
Wait, one more thing.
I just want to say something else. |
00:01:49.852 - 00:01:52.810 |
I have known Pippa Lee for 25 years... |
00:01:52.892 - 00:01:55.724 |
...and I think
that I will never really know her. |
00:01:56.811 - 00:01:59.802 |
She is a mystery. An enigma. |
00:01:59.890 - 00:02:03.165 |
Giving, caring, beautiful, intelligent, |
00:02:03.249 - 00:02:08.606 |
the very icon of an artist's wife. |
00:02:08.688 - 00:02:11.122 |
