:14:01
...but also as the definitive account of
the joint careers of Morris and Collins.
:14:06
You've had, at first hand,
a sample of Lanny's writing voice.
:14:10
Yes, I have.
:14:12
Such a book, Miss O'Connor...
:14:14
...this raw, this honest...
:14:17
...would make your own efforts look...
:14:19
There's been some very nice...
:14:21
...translations of the Bible
over the centuries...
:14:23
...but they would run
a very poor second in popularity...
:14:26
...to the discovery
of the actual Ten Commandments.
:14:31
Single best part about teaching
grade two is the difference...
:14:34
...between the bright ones and
the dumb ones isn't so obvious.
:14:37
- What's so great about that?
- The results of my work...
:14:40
...as a teacher
aren't so depressing.
:14:41
Also, there's no homework
to correct in the evenings and...
:14:45
...well, none of the kids
know how to use drugs.
:14:54
Bonnie had come from New York
to visit me that summer.
:14:57
We'd been best friends
since kindergarten.
:15:00
At school we started the
Lanny and Vince Fan Club...
:15:03
... raising almost $200
for that year's telethon.
:15:08
All of you send in
a bit of your allowance.
:15:10
Just a little bit.
A dime, a nickel, a penny.
:15:13
Every bit helps.
:15:16
The goal of the telethon that year...
:15:19
... was $3.9 million, which was
a lot of dough at that time.
:15:23
Thank you, Tom.
You're a prince among men.
:15:27
Whoa, Lanny. There are
children watching!
:15:30
Where does he get his energy?
:15:32
To remind viewers of the goal...
:15:34
... we agreed the telethon
could run 39 hours nonstop.
:15:39
The show would begin at 9 p.m. On
Friday and finish at noon on Sunday.
:15:43
We paced it so that
Vince and I were together...
:15:46
... for the kickoff,
most of the day Saturday...
:15:48
... then the big finale
on Sunday with us bleary-eyed...
:15:52
... and weeping as America
got ready to go to church.
:15:55
Lanny, Lanny. What are you doing?
:15:58
I'm ordering a pizza. I'm starving.
