:05:02
It's my old neighborhood...
:05:04
and forgive me if I tend
to romanticize the past.
:05:07
I mean, it wasn't always as
stormy and rain-swept as this.
:05:11
But I remember it that way...
:05:12
because that was it
at its most beautiful.
:05:16
In those days, the radio was
constantly playing at our house.
:05:20
My mother, for instance, never
missed her favorite show...
:05:23
"Breakfast with Irene
and Roger."
:05:26
Good morning, darling.
:05:27
Pass the orange juice, please.
:05:29
Very well.
:05:30
That was quite
an opening night...
:05:32
we attended last night,
wasn't it?
:05:34
Yes, wasn't it divine?
:05:35
Everyone was there, from Rodgers
and Hart to Cole Porter.
:05:38
Yes, darling.
:05:39
There were two completely
different worlds.
:05:42
While my mother stood over
the dirty plates in Rockaway...
:05:45
Irene and Roger ate
their elegant breakfast...
:05:47
over the air from their
chic Manhattan townhouse...
:05:50
while they chatted charmingly...
:05:52
about people and places
we only dreamt of.
:05:54
You look marvelous, darling.
:05:55
Tomorrow morning, we'll be
telling you all about it.
:05:58
And also about
the new Moss Hart play...
:06:00
which I hear is just divine.
:06:02
This is Irene Draper...
:06:03
and Roger Daley saying have us
for breakfast tomorrow...
:06:08
and every morning.
:06:09
And have a wonderful day.
:06:13
My own personal favorite show...
:06:15
was something called
"The Masked Avenger"...
:06:17
who I fantasized was a cross
between Superman and Cary Grant.
:06:21
Little did I know.
:06:22
...While I was on the scene?
:06:24
It's the Masked Avenger.
:06:26
It's off to jail for you.
:06:27
I hope you'll enjoy
making license plates.
:06:30
I'd like to tell you
the story...
:06:32
of the Masked Avenger's
secret compartment ring...
:06:34
and how it turned me to crime.
:06:36
But first,
you have to meet me...
:06:38
and my family.
:06:41
There I am in my Masked Avenger
hat and goggles...
:06:44
which I got off my friend
in a trade.
:06:46
And then there were
my father and mother...
:06:49
two people who could find
an argument in any subject.
:06:51
Wait a minute!
:06:52
Are you telling me
you think the Atlantic...
:06:54
is a greater ocean
than the Pacific?
:06:55
No, have it your way.
The Pacific is greater.
:06:58
I mean, how many people
fight over oceans?
