We're with the FM productions.

This will be tape number nine.

And audio on channel one will be boom and mixer with the tone.

And channel two will be lavalier FM mic.

So, tune out.

I guess.

We need to tuck those in there.

I'm going to tape those down.

And let's get this.

I'll tell you.

Stand by.

Action.

These are all Toulouse -Lobre -Trex.

One of my very favorite artists.

And this mask over here is by Nicholas Remazov, the man who gave me that screen.

And it's for a ballet that we did called Hear Ye Hear Ye, which was a trial.

And this was one of the jury's masks.

And over here is Tilly Tiff.

Okay, stand by, Ruth.

Any time.

These pictures are all Toulouse -Lobre -Trex.

No, stop.

I blew it.

It's not my fault.

Try again.

Dang it.

Any time.

These pictures are all Toulouse -Lobre -Trex.

And he's one of my very favorite artists.

I adore him.

This is a mask by Nicholas Remazov, the man who gave me the screen that you just saw.

And it's for a ballet that we did called Hear Ye Hear Ye.

And this is a ballet about a lawsuit, of course.

And this is one of the jury.

And I think it's a very fascinating mask.

And over there is Tilly Tiff.

He's not so well known as a painter, but I find him very interesting.

This is Picasso.

And in here, of course, is my studio.

I always have to have a studio every place.

I remember when I first married Tom Fisher, we moved in with his father, Walter Fisher, in a big house.

And the first thing I did was to make the living room over into a ballet studio.

And Mr.

Fisher was so nice about it, he didn't complain at all.

Then this picture back here is by Andre Delphot, of me.

It's me.

It is I.

And then these are all of Delphot's pictures.

All of them.

He's done, I think we've got at least a hundred harlequins.

And they're all in different positions.

And here are three of them.

And the rest of them are the brothels of Calcutta or Bombay.

I'm not sure which, but anyway, Indian brothels.

And they're very unusual, I think.

So now we will go to my bedroom.

This is a portrait of me by Clinton King.

I looked sort of like that once upon a time, I guess.

Now we're going into my bedroom.

Okay, let's just do it.

Okay, Ruth, you ready? Okay, Phil, stand by.

We're going to go.

And action.

Start again, Ruth.

You need to back up two more steps further back than where you were.

All right.

And do I say this is my bedroom? You can.

You can say, well, here we are.

You know, I try to keep the rest of the place neat.

Oh, all right.

This is always a mess.

Okay.

Is that all right? Anytime.

Should I come? Yes, ma 'am.

You know, I try to keep my apartment just as neat as possible.

Every place.

But my bedroom is always a mess.

You can see what it's like.

It's always a mess.

Let's try it again.

Anytime.

So this is my bedroom.

I try to keep my apartment neat as a pin.

And it is.

But this room is always a mess, as you can see.

I have nice pictures on the wall.

They're by Del Vaux, not Del Faux.

And I don't know who he is, but I like them.

Now, I spend a lot of time here, so I like to be comfortable.

I love to read all those books over there.

I do read them.

I read all night long, usually.

And my desk is always a mess like that.

I just don't have time to do all the things one has to do at one's desk.

So, anyway, there's nothing much to say about this room.

I spend an awful lot of time here.

And this apartment maybe seems awfully big for one person to live in alone.

But, you know, I need every bit of space in it.

I really couldn't even get an extra toothpick into this apartment.

Okay, let's do it one more time.

Rolling tape.

So this is my bedroom.

I try to keep my apartment as neat as a pin, and I think I do.

But this room is always a mess, as you can see.

The pictures are by Del Vaux, not Del Faux.

And I don't know who he is or how I got them.

Anyway, here they are, and they're nice.

I like them.

I like to be comfortable.

And I hate to wear shoes.

I'll take my shoes off.

Now, let's see.

You can see what my desk looks like.

It always looks like that.

I never have time to get over to that desk.

And I have lots of wonderful books in here, and I do read them all the time, because I usually read all night long, because I don't sleep well.

Now, let's see.

I don't know.

This room is comfortable, and I spend an awful lot of time in here.

This apartment may seem awfully big for just to live in.

But actually, I use every bit of it.

I haven't even got room for an extra toothpick.

Okay.

And...

So this is my bedroom.

Now, I try to keep the apartment as neat as a pin, and I think I do.

But as you can see, this is a mess, and it's always like this.

It's always a mess.

I have some nice pictures here.

Those are Del Vaux, not Del Faux.

And I don't know where I got them.

I really don't, but they look nice.

And I spend a lot of time in here, so I always sit here and take off my shoes.

I don't like to wear shoes at all.

I like to always go barefoot.

Anyway, I have lots of books here, which I like to read, because I read usually all night long.

But I don't know.

This apartment does seem awfully big, doesn't it? But I just really have to have a big apartment.

I couldn't get an extra toothpick in this apartment.

You set, Ruth? Yep.

Everybody else? Yep.

Okay.

And any time.

So this is my bedroom.

I spend a lot of time here, and I do try to keep the apartment as neat as a pin, and I think I...

Any time.

So this is my bedroom.

I try to keep my apartment as neat as a pin, but I must say my bedroom is always a mess, as you can see.

I have some nice pictures here.

They're by Del Vaux, not Del Faux.

And I don't know where I got them, but they're nice.

I like them very, very much.

I like to be very comfortable, because I spend an awful lot of time here, and I hate to wear shoes.

I like to go bare feet.

I love bare feet.

I've got a lot of books here, because I like to read.

I read all the time.

I usually read all night long.

And this apartment may seem awfully big, but I tell you, there isn't room in this apartment for another toothpick.

Okay.

Well, now you've seen it all.

And I tell you, it may seem awfully big, but I tell you one thing, I haven't got room in this apartment for another toothpick.

One more time.

Did I say something wrong that time? No, I just wanted you to smile a little more.

Oh, smile at the end.

Smile at the end.

Oh, well, wait a minute.

What am I going to say first? Well, now you've seen it all.

Well, now you've seen it all.

I know that it seems very big, but it's crowded with things.

I need all this space.

All right.

Uh -huh.

I have no room for another toothpick.

Whenever you say, Tom.

Okay.

Well, now you've seen it all.

It's not my turn.

Oh, I'm sorry, Tom.

Were you rolling? I was, yeah.

Just give us a three -beat count of silence, and then say it.

Any time.

Well, now you've seen it all.

And it may seem awfully big for really, I need all this space.

Let's try it once more.

What did I say, Rome? So take a three count and take it away.

Well, now you've seen it all.

And it may seem awfully big, but I tell you, I need every bit of this space.

I have so many things, and I haven't got room for an extra toothpick.

So, I'm going to take it away.

I'm going to take it away.
