访谈录 2009-07-23&07-26 Ellen的51岁生日感言

Oh, boy. I really thank you for being here today. Do you like what I am wearing?

Well, it's my birthday suit. Because today is my birthday.

But...Yes, it's also, it's not just my birthday.It's also Anita Baker's birthday. And that's not all we share.We also both are 36C's.

And forget to bring it out. But let me try to... Listen.

With all my heart I love you. Anyway, I'm proud of my age. I'm not one of these people that says "oh,I'm thirty" or whatever. I don't care, I'm 51. I don't care. Yeah, I don't care. I don't care. Come on, sixty!

So I feel like everybody should proud of their age. So I'll count to three, everybody yell out how old you are.

Okay. One, two, never mind, some people. Maybe you are embarrassed. I don't wanna embarrass you.

I highly recommend fifty. Um, fifty is a wonderful age and turning fifty, so many things happened. I've learned so much just over the past year. Um, for instance, I got married. Okay?

Yeah, I married the one that I'm not kissing.

And that I learned that getting married is expensive. I learned that and luckily I make it up for two-one, um, two-for-one coupons¹ at Applebee's. So that's how I'm doing it.

I also moved my show to a new studio this year and it taught me how to make new friends.

You know what, you can't even, can't throw a stone without hitting somebody in the face. You gotta throw the stone.

Oh,Julia...What the f*k is that? Sorry. What's the * is that? (Sorry, sorry...) Oh, damn it. What the hell, am I bleeding? (A little bit. Okay...) * What are you thinking? You were so nice, glad to be neighbors. F*k you!!

I'm sorry, I am sorry, I apologize. What a party mouth! Filthy² party mouth! And I apologize for her. I've forgotten about that also what it showed to you.

I've learned that success is a matter of perspective.

Yeah, wait a minute. Yes, but, then I opened it, I had an "aha" moment. I'm on the cover too. Oh yes, I can. Oh yes,I can. They don't call me cover bill for nothing.

Also this year, I learnt that the water in Bora Bora isn't warmer warmer.

Do you want me to push you in?

 

No, I don't. I know, OK. It's really exciting for this so far. It's cold,It's really cold today.

OK, OK... ah... it's freezing.

You did it.

I am wimp³, I'm a wimp to tell you. After that, I showed that on the Internet. I'm not afraid to show the world what I look like in the bathing suit. And I'm looking forward to this year. I wanna learn a million more things. I wanna learn how to do what Manny does. Look at Manny.

Well, That's Manny. Manny works here on the lot and we found that talent, so we use him as often as we can. Life is about continuing to learn new things. So now please join me in this celebration dance for my birthday please.
