Ladies and gentlemen!

Ladies and gentlemen...
:03:29
I would like to propose a toast...
:03:32
to Michael and Elizabeth Courtland...
:03:36
this world's last romantics.
:03:40
Happy tenth anniversary!
:03:42
Happy anniversary!
:03:48
And if you'll allow me,
a special toast to this man...
:03:53
a man of endless energy
and ambition...
:03:57
the cream of the new South...
:04:00
my dear friend
and new senior partner...
:04:03
in what will soon be the finest real
estate development in New Orleans...
:04:07
the new Pontchartrain Estates!
:04:12
Thank you, Bob.
:04:15
Bob has very generously
referred to me...
:04:18
as part of the cream
of the new South.
:04:21
I think that might be
a little bit genteel for me.
:04:25
I would be more inclined
to consider myself more of...
:04:29
oh, skim milk of the Middle West
or something.
:04:34
Energy...
:04:37
ambition.
:04:39
I would hope...
:04:41
that we could direct
those qualities...
:04:44
to try and retain...
:04:46
for the new South...
:04:48
some of the graceful values
of the old South.
