:37:00
probably made up their mnds
already.
:37:03
But for starters,
:37:05
I'd like you to welcome
:37:09
some friends ofVince and mne
from Sydney.
:37:15
G'day.
:37:16
(Ralph)
They're all wonderful people
:37:18
who I know
you're going to love
:37:20
when you get to know 'em.
:37:23
Okay.
:37:25
Now, I understand there's been
a bit of speculation around town
:37:33
about Vince Hopgood and myself.
:37:35
Well, it's nobody's business
but ours,
:37:39
what goes on
between Vince and I.
:37:42
We've been mates
since we were kids.
:37:46
Most of you have known us
all your lives.
:37:49
Crikey, we've lived and worked
amongst you for years.
:37:57
That's what you should be
judging us by,
:37:58
not about what may or may not
happen between us in private.
:38:07
Vince has been part
:38:10
of every important event
in my life.
:38:14
He was my best man.
:38:18
He was there
when my daughter was born...
:38:27
and when my wife, Helen,
passed away.
:38:37
He was a tower of strength
to me.
:38:45
See, it doesn't matter
who you are;
:38:49
if you have one real friend
in this life,
:38:52
one person you can truly trust,
:38:57
then you're very lucky indeed.
