Shirley Maclaine Y1K (Dialogue) - Live

Practically the-the whole world
 Think of this as it is in the next century and we are still in this one
 Now actually that's kinda great, right?, let them test the orders
 Uh, since you're all here with me tonight and not home watching TV
 Uh, we-we arrange the satellite hook up so that you can see what was going on in the rest of the world
 The first big party is underway down under in Sydney, Australia
 A million people are celebrating at the Pyramids
 They're sipping champagne in Paris
 They're dancing in the streets in Rio
 And they've drop the big ball in Time Square already
 Look at that
 Wow, wow that was neat and then there's Libia
 I think they got the wrong address
 Oh, did you ever wonder what this night was like a thousand years ago in 1999?
 And there was there a Y1K problem?
 Barbara, why are you even wondering?, ask me, I was there
 Shir, Shirley MacLaine wow! isn't that something?
 Happy new year honey
 Wha- happy new year, now let show me, of course you were there, why didn't I think of that?
 So Shir, were people worried about why Y1K?, ah then, were they?
 You know somewhere, they were burning candles in case the sun went out
 They believe that?
 Yeah, some people were worried like now
 Really? so wha-what? most people poured them or?
 Most where but not everyone, but there was this guy who melted sand into glass
 And then he put (uh) the glass in between two pieces of wood
 And he called his invention Windows 1000
 And you know, next thing you know everyone wants one
 (Boy) I bet he made more money than a Pope
 Yeah, for a while and then the Pope came up with Stain Glass Windows 1000
 Stain Glass Window?
 Then, well the government got involved and...
 Yeah, must have been a big, it was a big mess (it was a big mess)
 A big mess yeah
 So did the Y1K crisis affect you Shirley?
 No, no
 I was touring to bet back then
 What were you doing, a book tour or something?
 No, I was in the show
 Oh really?, what show?
 At cats
 Oh my God, it has been playing forever, hmm
 For what you said it doesn't sound like Y1K was a huge problem right?
 You know, it really wasn't, the man were a bit concerned
 You should talk to one of them
 Well we like oh
 Dick Clark
 Dick Clark was there?
 Yeah
 The same Dick Clark?
 Yeah
 And he look great, same as he does now
 I don't know how he does it but you look great too Shirley you really do
 Thanks you, you know I've had many happy returns Barbara so I-I always start with the new beginning
 Ah, and this is the new beginning for all of us isn't it?
 Yes, a new beginning
 And I wanna wish everyone here, everyone a wonderful new life
 Or lives
 Whatever (Right)
 Happy new beginnings everybody
 Thank you, thank you Shirley
 Why thank you, I do like yours
 You're like butter, yeah
 Thanks Shirley, bye
 I invited someone to joins us tonight
 Who's been with me since the very beginning
 You know him, some of you chase him, some embrace them, others waste him
 He can tick tock, ring and chime
 I'm sure you have guessed by now he's time
 With the capital T, oh no
 Some of you expected a guy, an old guy with a long great beard
 No he is young, even tough he's been around forever
 So don't call him Father Time
 He prefers to be called Brother Time
 And he is my friend
 And tonight, not only did I want Time on my side, but by my side
 As we go back, first of, about 1961, ok
 Do you remeber where-where you were?
