and has been a source of
inspiration to Italian Americans.

So please join me in
welcoming...
:47:10
the Artistic Director of the
Joffrey Ballet of Chicago...
:47:14
Mr. Alberto Antonelli.
:47:29
Thank you.
Please sit down.
:47:35
You know, I really deserve
this thing.
:47:39
Because you Italian guys made it
hard for me to be a dancer.
:47:44
You know, you didn't help
one iota.
:47:48
I had to hide my
ballet shoes.
:47:52
And my Italian family,
they gave me such a hard time.
:48:00
Listen, if your boys want
to be dancers...
:48:02
please don't give them
a hard time.
:48:07
That would really be
a special award to me.
