FRANK SINATRA:
Umm... That's a clever opening. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm deeply thrilled and very moved, and I really, really don't know what to say because this is a whole new kind of thing. You know, I've... song-and-dance-man type stuff. And I'm terribly pleased, and if I start thanking everybody then I'll do a one-reeler up here so I better not. And I'd just like to say, however, that they're doing a lot of songs here tonight but nobody asked me... [unitelligible]. But I love you, though. Thank you very much. I'm absolutely thrilled. Thank you.
