1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,763
Before I start signing these,
2
00:00:08,869 --> 00:00:11,497
I need to thank somebody
who's here tonight.
3
00:00:11,605 --> 00:00:14,665
When I had her at State--
That didn't sound right.
4
00:00:14,775 --> 00:00:18,040
I never had her.
I wanted her, but never had her.
5
00:00:18,111 --> 00:00:20,443
What I meant was
when I took her class.
6
00:00:20,514 --> 00:00:24,006
I had the worst case
of writer's block in the world.
7
00:00:24,084 --> 00:00:27,781
All I had were terrible ideas.
I hated them all.
8
00:00:27,854 --> 00:00:29,788
I was just about
to drop the class
9
00:00:29,856 --> 00:00:35,692
when she said something to me
that changed everything.
10
00:00:37,798 --> 00:00:42,701
She said, "Terrible ideas
are like playground scapegoats.
11
00:00:42,769 --> 00:00:45,932
Given the right encouragement,
they grow up to be geniuses."
12
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:49,873
She told me to take one,
and work on it.
13
00:00:49,943 --> 00:00:52,571
Well, I did.
14
00:00:54,514 --> 00:00:57,608
Frances Mayes,
who loves terrible ideas,
15
00:00:57,684 --> 00:00:59,914
may I please French kiss
you now?
16
00:00:59,986 --> 00:01:01,283
Go for it, Willie boy!
17
00:01:01,354 --> 00:01:03,788
Married, William.
Sorry.
18
00:01:07,494 --> 00:01:08,552
Proud of me?
19
00:01:08,628 --> 00:01:10,425
Ridiculously.
20
00:01:10,497 --> 00:01:12,692
Frances, these are amazing.
What did you do?
21
00:01:12,766 --> 00:01:14,893
Chocolate is timing, my friend.
22
00:01:14,968 --> 00:01:17,266
- The rest is magic.
- Hey, Professor.
23
00:01:17,337 --> 00:01:20,306
- Where is the wine?
- Over there.
24
00:01:20,407 --> 00:01:22,068
Tom is one lucky bastard.
25
00:01:22,142 --> 00:01:24,508
A literary wife
who makes brownies.
26
00:01:24,578 --> 00:01:26,307
I swear, if you tell me
you cook in the nude,
27
00:01:26,379 --> 00:01:28,210
...
