00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.740
I'm steering.

2
00:00:31.180 --> 00:00:31.240
Hi.

3
00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:31.960
Hello.

4
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:32.520
How are you?

5
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:33.220
I'm fine.

6
00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:33.380


7
00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:34.300
Happy birthday.

8
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:35.540
Thank you, darling.

9
00:00:35.540 --> 00:00:35.840
You're wonderful.

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:37.800
Well, she's wonderful.

11
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:39.320
I've had a busy year.

12
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.020
Thanks.

13
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:40.880
Here's your drink.

14
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:41.560
Thank you.

15
00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:42.020
Yeah.

16
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.860
I guess I just put Anne on her way out.

17
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:46.360
I thought that was just a strong incentive.

18
00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:46.980
I'm a little hungry now.

19
00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:47.740
I'm hungry.

20
00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:48.360
All right.

21
00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:49.600
Have a good day.

22
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.560
Have a good day.

23
00:00:50.660 --> 00:00:51.120
Have a good day.

24
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.860
Oh, we're in the water.

25
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:53.840
I'm in the water.

26
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:54.500
I'm in the water.

27
00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:55.240
I'm in the water.

28
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:56.980
We just got back from dinner.

29
00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:57.740
I'm a little bit tired.

30
00:00:57.820 --> 00:00:58.520
Oh, really?

31
00:00:58.520 --> 00:00:58.780
Yeah.

32
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.800
So how did you feel today?

33
00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:06.780
I'm all ready.

34
00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:07.580
Ready?

35
00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:08.920
Yeah.

36
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.800
I'm ready.

37
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:11.420
I'm ready.

38
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:12.060
I'm ready.

39
00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:12.600
Oh, wow.

40
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:13.900
I'm ready.

41
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:15.920
I'm ready.

42
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:16.140
I'm ready.

43
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:16.840
I'm ready.

44
00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:17.960
I'm ready.

45
00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:19.220
I'm ready.

46
00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:20.100
I'm ready.

47
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:20.300
Yeah.

48
00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:21.400
We're in the water.

49
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:22.480
We're in the water.

50
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:22.800
Yeah.

51
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:24.880
What's that?

52
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:28.360
Hello.

53
00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:29.780
Hello.

54
00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:30.300
Thank you.

55
00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:33.440
Thank you.

56
00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:35.420
Hello.

57
00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:36.080


58
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:37.140
Thank you.

59
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:38.420
And many of them.

60
00:01:38.660 --> 00:01:39.060
Happy Birthday.

61
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:40.200
It's a nice party.

62
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:41.540
Happy Birthday.

63
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.200
You look so lovely this evening.

64
00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:43.520


65
00:01:44.380 --> 00:01:45.620
I haven't tried it.

66
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:46.080
That's all right.

67
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:46.800
It looks good.

68
00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:47.620
Right.

69
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:50.100
How are you?

70
00:01:52.660 --> 00:01:54.360
I haven't spoken in a long time.

71
00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:54.860
Oh, I haven't spoken in a long time.

72
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:54.860


73
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:54.860


74
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:54.860


75
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:54.860


76
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:54.860


77
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:54.860


78
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:55.800
What's your name?

79
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.820
My name is William.

80
00:01:57.660 --> 00:01:58.340
William.

81
00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:01.420


82
00:02:01.820 --> 00:02:02.260
I'm William.

83
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:04.240
Yeah.

84
00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:04.760
I'm William.

85
00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:05.900


86
00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:05.900


87
00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:05.900


88
00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:08.660
I'm William.

89
00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:08.660


90
00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:08.660


91
00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:08.660


92
00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:09.140
Are you asleep?

93
00:02:09.260 --> 00:02:09.540
Yes.

94
00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:11.100
How are you?

95
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:12.420
I'm so happy to see you.

96
00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:14.280
How are you?

97
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:14.680
I'm so happy to see you.

98
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:14.680


99
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:14.740
I'm so happy to see you.

100
00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:14.860
How are you?

101
00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:15.360
I'm so happy to see you.

102
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:15.360


103
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:15.900
I'm so happy to see you.

104
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:16.660
How are you?

105
00:02:16.660 --> 00:02:24.420
I'm so happy to see you.

106
00:02:24.420 --> 00:02:26.280
Do you want to sit down for a little while?

107
00:02:31.100 --> 00:02:32.600
I'm going to have a little bit.

108
00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:40.520
Did you get something to eat?

109
00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:43.700
I wish you a very happy birthday.

110
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:44.320
Thank you so much.

111
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:45.400
We're Hillary's parents.

112
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:45.840


113
00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:46.900
Oh, yeah.

114
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.480
I'll tell you how grateful I am that you have a school

115
00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:52.260
or a daughter to continue your education.

116
00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:53.260
Oh, I'm glad.

117
00:02:53.320 --> 00:02:54.200
How old is she now?

118
00:02:54.880 --> 00:02:55.360
14.

119
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:55.840


120
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:56.620
She's a treasure.

121
00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:57.620
I love her.

122
00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:02.580
So we are so pleased that the school is that close.

123
00:03:03.220 --> 00:03:03.420
Yeah.

124
00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:04.180
I'm glad.

125
00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:04.780
I'm glad.

126
00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:05.200
I'm glad she came.

127
00:03:05.580 --> 00:03:06.160
Very good.

128
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:06.840
She's a good student.

129
00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:08.000
Well, that's a good reason.

130
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:08.480
I'm glad she came.

131
00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:09.140
That's fine.

132
00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:09.900
I did.

133
00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:10.720
That's good.

134
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:11.960
That's very kind of you.

135
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.000
She wants to go to San Francisco in the summer.

136
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.760
You have to know that it's a lovely city.

137
00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:18.920


138
00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:19.900
I'm glad that I came.

139
00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:21.800
She went to the audition.

140
00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:22.860


141
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:24.160
Oh, and she got a...

142
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.460
She got a full scholarship.

143
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:26.900
Oh, that's nice.

144
00:03:27.100 --> 00:03:28.940
Well, it might be nice to change up.

145
00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:30.040
Yes.

146
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.480
I just want to know one thing.

147
00:03:31.660 --> 00:03:33.060
Is this the usual thing?

148
00:03:33.260 --> 00:03:34.840
Is it the West Wild God?

149
00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:37.220
Did she do just as well to stay here?

150
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.400
Well, I think she did just as well to stay here,

151
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:40.780
but she might want to...

152
00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:41.460
Just for change.

153
00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:41.860
Yeah.

154
00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:43.400
It might just be fun.

155
00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:44.000
Let's see what they do.

156
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:44.640
Yes.

157
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:45.840
I love this city.

158
00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:48.300
And I think the company is supposed to be very good,

159
00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.160
but they come here in the summer.

160
00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:53.160
So she won't be able to come here.

161
00:03:53.540 --> 00:03:54.200
That's what I want.

162
00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:55.900
This is my escort.

163
00:03:56.480 --> 00:03:57.700
Oh, that's a lot.

164
00:03:58.200 --> 00:03:59.040
That's cool.

165
00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:04.180
No, it's...

166
00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:05.760
I think it's a beautiful city.

167
00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:08.460
But San Francisco Ballet,

168
00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:09.900
they got their audition this summer.

169
00:04:10.300 --> 00:04:12.240
And I never came here in the summer.

170
00:04:12.980 --> 00:04:14.800
So I'm not going to the audition.

171
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:15.800
I'm going to the audition.

172
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.020
So, um...

173
00:04:20.020 --> 00:04:20.560
I don't know.

174
00:04:20.960 --> 00:04:22.300
I might be asked for a change.

175
00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:24.180
I ain't got to leave my school.

176
00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:27.180
And so...

177
00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:28.540
We have a lot of summer school.

178
00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:30.400
There's schools on the other side.

179
00:04:32.280 --> 00:04:32.620
Yeah.

180
00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:35.480
Yeah.

181
00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:36.620
Yeah.

182
00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:37.520
This has to happen.

183
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:38.620
What does she think?

184
00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:42.160
I would try it.

185
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:42.940
I would try it.

186
00:04:42.940 --> 00:04:44.700
I know you're a kid.

187
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:45.760
She's not a girl.

188
00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:47.000
Yes.

189
00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:49.880
So we have to speak to a few adults.

190
00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:51.580
Oh, I see what you're doing.

191
00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:54.780
That's how I would have you.

192
00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:57.480
Would you hold me?

193
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:58.040
No.

194
00:04:58.700 --> 00:05:01.240
Just speaking that to you.

195
00:05:01.460 --> 00:05:03.720
Because obviously, you have a lot of choice.

196
00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:05.220
You don't have to do this.

197
00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:07.520
You don't have to spend all your money to go to the restaurant.

198
00:05:07.820 --> 00:05:08.860
You can go to the restaurant.

199
00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:10.580
Yeah.

200
00:05:10.580 --> 00:05:11.460
Yeah.

201
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:13.640
Hello.

202
00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:15.120
Hello.

203
00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:17.700
Hello.

204
00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:19.840
Oh, it's nice to meet you.

205
00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:21.060
Thank you.

206
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:22.740
Thank you.

207
00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:25.740
What did you think of the dinner?

208
00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:28.860
This is for Chicago Repertory dancers.

209
00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:30.220
Oh, hi.

210
00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:32.420
We just wanted to give you something to hold up.

211
00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:33.700
Something for your birthday.

212
00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:35.260
Can I open it?

213
00:05:35.460 --> 00:05:36.040
Of course.

214
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:36.540
Thank you.

215
00:05:37.340 --> 00:05:39.940
Do you remember him?

216
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:40.200
Sure.

217
00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:42.760
He's a star.

218
00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:44.260
Oh, really?

219
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:46.880
Beautiful.

220
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.100
Oh, nice.

221
00:05:50.900 --> 00:05:51.520
Can I have a picture?

222
00:05:52.380 --> 00:05:53.960
Can I take a picture?

223
00:05:54.520 --> 00:05:56.560
You're just a real special test.

224
00:05:56.780 --> 00:05:58.040
I'm going to introduce you to somebody.

225
00:05:58.580 --> 00:05:59.000
He's fine.

226
00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:02.180
How is your friend's name?

227
00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:03.180
He's fine.

228
00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:05.980
He's doing really well.

229
00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:10.520
Isn't it incredible?

230
00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:12.240
It's absolutely incredible.

231
00:06:12.580 --> 00:06:13.680
Look at that, she has gel.

232
00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:15.540
And she made it.

233
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.160
He's not eating yummy.

234
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:22.080
He has two hands.

235
00:06:23.340 --> 00:06:25.080
Do you want us to help you with anything?

236
00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:25.860
Yeah.

237
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.640
Do you want us to pin your flowers on?

238
00:06:27.940 --> 00:06:28.060
No.

239
00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:29.420
Give me your hair.

240
00:06:31.580 --> 00:06:32.880
I don't like the word flowers.

241
00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:43.900
We got a present.

242
00:06:44.940 --> 00:06:45.260
Oh.

243
00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:51.380
I got something.

244
00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:52.120
Thank you.

245
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:56.000
This.

246
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.180
You're going to have to tear the paper.

247
00:07:04.260 --> 00:07:05.880
Look at that pretty.

248
00:07:06.140 --> 00:07:08.120
This is a little sticker.

249
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.400
Oh, I see.

250
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.540
You can just use that little sticker to help it on your hand.

251
00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:16.340
Yeah, that's amazing.

252
00:07:16.580 --> 00:07:17.000
Yeah.

253
00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:21.560
Thank you.

254
00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:23.500
Thank you.

255
00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:23.880
Thank you.

256
00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:25.320
Thank you.

257
00:07:25.320 --> 00:07:25.320


258
00:07:25.320 --> 00:07:29.060
Thank you.

259
00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:30.920
Did you film it?

260
00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:32.900
You're a real special person.

261
00:07:34.940 --> 00:07:36.300
Oh, I love it.

262
00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:37.580
Here's the card.

263
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.280
Have a wonderful birthday.

264
00:07:44.540 --> 00:07:44.820
Good.

265
00:07:45.760 --> 00:07:45.760


266
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:48.700
I don't know how to say it.

267
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.040
I like this every year.

268
00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:53.440
I love you.

269
00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:54.260
Thank you.

270
00:07:55.140 --> 00:07:56.600
Try this again.

271
00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:59.160
Do you want me to help you?

272
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:01.820
Yeah.

273
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.240
I'll just give you a little bit.

274
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:04.620
Do you want me to help you?

275
00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:06.440
Okay.

276
00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:09.840
I'll just give you a little bit.

277
00:08:10.140 --> 00:08:12.320
Thank you.

278
00:08:12.460 --> 00:08:13.660
Thank you.

279
00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:14.440
Thank you.

280
00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:15.300
Thank you.

281
00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:17.260
Thank you.

282
00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:20.480
Thank you.

283
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.840
Oh, I have to step back down.

284
00:08:23.140 --> 00:08:23.480
I can't.

285
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:24.680
Oh.

286
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.180
Can I get you anything?

287
00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:29.680
No, no.

288
00:08:30.200 --> 00:08:30.740
Sorry.

289
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:32.860
I don't know.

290
00:08:33.040 --> 00:08:33.780
I don't know.

291
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.260
I don't know.

292
00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:39.720
Oh, wow.

293
00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:42.120
Happy birthday.

294
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.020
Happy birthday.

295
00:08:44.740 --> 00:08:46.840
Happy birthday.

296
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.740
Happy birthday.

297
00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:48.600
Happy birthday.

298
00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:49.280


299
00:08:52.780 --> 00:08:54.400
Happy birthday.

300
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:56.400
Happy birthday.

301
00:08:57.740 --> 00:08:58.220
Happy birthday.

302
00:08:58.980 --> 00:08:58.980


303
00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:01.160
Happy birthday.

304
00:09:02.060 --> 00:09:02.360
Happy birthday.

305
00:09:04.140 --> 00:09:04.720
Happy birthday.

306
00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:05.760
Happy birthday.

307
00:09:06.760 --> 00:09:08.680
Happy birthday.

308
00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:11.200
Happy birthday.

309
00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:13.480
Happy birthday.

310
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.980
Happy birthday.

311
00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:15.980


312
00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:17.880
Happy birthday.

313
00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:26.340
Happy birthday to you.

314
00:09:26.680 --> 00:09:28.620
Happy birthday to you.

315
00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:33.180
Happy birthday.

316
00:09:33.180 --> 00:09:35.420
Happy birthday.

317
00:09:35.520 --> 00:09:36.260
Happy birthday.

318
00:09:36.260 --> 00:09:39.060
Happy birthday to you.

319
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.400
Happy birthday.

320
00:09:43.400 --> 00:09:44.240
Happy Birthday.

321
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:45.500
Happy birthday.

322
00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:45.860
Happy birthday.

323
00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:19.200
Ladies and gentlemen, would you please?

324
00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:23.400
Call to sing Happy Birthday to Ruth Page.

325
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:32.600
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,

326
00:10:33.520 --> 00:10:43.360
happy birthday dear Ruth Page, happy birthday to you.

327
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.880
Happy birthday to you.

328
00:10:45.160 --> 00:10:49.540
Happy birthday.

329
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.780
Would you like to cut the cake?

330
00:10:54.780 --> 00:10:59.820
I've been asked, I've been honored to propose a toast to Ms. Page

331
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:08.400
about whom one could say millions of words and about no words would suffice.

332
00:11:08.400 --> 00:11:12.520
So I've written something I think very, I hope, terse and to the point

333
00:11:13.400 --> 00:11:20.640
and I think it means very much what Ruth Page means to me and to all of us.

334
00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:22.480
So I'll read it to you now.

335
00:11:24.260 --> 00:11:31.960
Ruth Page, friend, artist, mentor, muse, elfin sprite and stainless steel,

336
00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:35.600
predictable never, elusive ever,

337
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.940
iconoclast, one of the last,

338
00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:42.160
link with the past with an eye to the future,

339
00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:46.460
the legend, the promise, an American original.

340
00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:48.620
I give you Ruth Page.

341
00:11:48.900 --> 00:11:52.620
Oh, thank you Larry. That's lovely. Thank you.

342
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.920
I'll drink to you. Drink to Larry.

343
00:11:58.260 --> 00:11:59.640
My favorite person.

344
00:12:02.140 --> 00:12:04.000
Angelo, shall I cut the cake?

345
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:10.060
Again, I've been honored to talk and you're going to excuse me all

346
00:12:10.060 --> 00:12:12.240
for what I'm going to say. I may have made a lot of mistakes.

347
00:12:13.380 --> 00:12:20.500
But on behalf of friends of Ruth Page, our organization wishes to thank all of us

348
00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:23.880
and all of you for being here, especially Ms. Page.

349
00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:28.280
And I'd like to propose a toast for her birthday and I hope to see you many, many more years.

350
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:31.340
Oh, thank you.

351
00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:34.500
Oh, thank you.

352
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:36.980
Well, I want to thank you all for coming.

353
00:12:37.380 --> 00:12:40.800
This was such a surprise. It really was a great big surprise.

354
00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:44.120
And I'm not quite sure who's giving this party.

355
00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:46.260
Who's giving this party?

356
00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:47.080
Your friends.

357
00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:47.860
My friends.

358
00:12:47.900 --> 00:12:48.520
Your friends are here.

359
00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:51.980
I thank my friends very, very much. It's a wonderful party.

360
00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:53.500
And shall I cut the cake?

361
00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:54.060
Not yet.

362
00:12:54.400 --> 00:12:54.780
Oh.

363
00:12:56.680 --> 00:12:58.020
We have another talk.

364
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:58.580
Oh.

365
00:12:59.500 --> 00:13:06.060
As a student of Ruth Page, you should understand it is quite an honor to toast this very wonderful lady.

366
00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:10.880
Well, anyways, to Ruth Page and for all she's done for us,

367
00:13:11.420 --> 00:13:16.420
a gathering of this size is not enough to show our appreciation

368
00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:19.300
for all the care and concern that she's given to us.

369
00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:21.400
Oh, thank you, darling.

370
00:13:21.420 --> 00:13:22.220
To Ruth Page.

371
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:24.720
I'll drink to that. I'll drink to you.

372
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.240
Well, you know, I think that it's about time that we let you cut that cake, isn't it?

373
00:13:38.400 --> 00:13:39.640
I'm dying for a piece of cake.

374
00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:44.500
Ruth, I want you to go to your cake. Look at it carefully because it's your picture on it.

375
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:45.540
My picture?

376
00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:46.920
Yes, your picture is there.

377
00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:49.280
What do you think?

378
00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:53.000
Oh, is that what I look like?

379
00:13:54.420 --> 00:13:55.420
For Ruth Page.

380
00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:58.780
Ruth, I will take that to be our home food real good.

381
00:13:59.220 --> 00:13:59.780
Love you.

382
00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:06.540
Oh, that's a lovely cake.

383
00:14:08.280 --> 00:14:10.000
Well, I can't cut it with this.

384
00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:13.720
Why don't you make your first cut and we'll take care of the rest of it.

385
00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:16.240
All right, I'll make the first cut. Should I cut here?

386
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:17.700
Could you cut a rose?

387
00:14:18.140 --> 00:14:19.840
All right, I'll cut a rose.

388
00:14:22.260 --> 00:14:22.700
There.

389
00:14:23.300 --> 00:14:25.040
Okay, we'll take care of that right now.

390
00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:27.620
All right, it's a beautiful cake. Isn't it gorgeous?

391
00:14:29.180 --> 00:14:31.060
Well, you can all get your own cake.

392
00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:36.400
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to, now that she's cut the cake, may I have your attention for a moment?

393
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:46.380
I know that you are all certainly knowledgeable about dance, and normally it is traditional for a prima ballerina,

394
00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:52.940
having performed a wonderful dance to usually receive a bouquet of roses.

395
00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:56.820
In this case, we certainly have a prima ballerina.

396
00:14:56.820 --> 00:15:00.440
Oh, my goodness gracious, something else. Thank you, darling.

397
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:07.340
However, Ruth Page is not just a prima ballerina to us, she is the prima ballerina.

398
00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:11.420
Not once, but twice she deserves that bouquet.

399
00:15:12.260 --> 00:15:13.880
May we have a couple, please?

400
00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:17.200
Oh, my God.

401
00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:30.580
Those of you who are here with us, friends and alike, those children are part of those many, many scholars for which Ruth Page is responsible.

402
00:15:30.820 --> 00:15:35.540
We thank you very much for it, and thank you for having come.

403
00:15:36.380 --> 00:15:40.440
Please help yourselves to the cake. We're going to keep cutting it.

404
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:44.100
And in a few minutes, after we're done with the cake and the food,

405
00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:52.640
we're going to get around to the other part of the event of the night, and that is to see Ruth Page pull those three lucky tickets.

406
00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:53.520
Do what?

407
00:15:53.900 --> 00:15:55.220
The drawing of the raffle.

408
00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:57.240
Open the raffle.

409
00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:02.800
Ruth, you're going to make three people very happy. You're going to send them to London for a week, or to Hawaii for a week.

410
00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:04.760
Maybe I can draw myself. I wouldn't mind.

411
00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:09.280
You and I can't go, Ruth.

412
00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:10.260
We can't go?

413
00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:11.820
That's not fair.

414
00:16:13.660 --> 00:16:16.640
Well, all the cake was wonderful.

415
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.800
Do you want to have a piece of cake, Ruth?

416
00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:26.360
Aren't they beautiful?

417
00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:27.240
They're wonderful.

418
00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:34.700
This is really a party. It certainly is.

419
00:16:35.020 --> 00:16:36.040
It's a wonderful party.

420
00:16:36.040 --> 00:16:38.160
Sit down.

421
00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:56.060
Not right now. I'll have one later. Thank you.
