All right, "Frieda."

00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:04.880 align:middle line:90%
Pay attention.

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:06.570 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:09.510 align:middle line:84%
"Frieda, back in the '50s,
one day her boyfriend

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:12.900 align:middle line:84%
in black denims, white
t-shirt, sleeves rolled up,

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:17.490 align:middle line:84%
hair greased back, cigarette
dangling, surly, I suppose,

00:00:17.490 --> 00:00:22.350 align:middle line:84%
behind his shades, picked her up
after school in his black Ford,

00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:23.580 align:middle line:90%
top down.

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:27.030 align:middle line:84%
And she frivolously
tossed her books,

00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:30.970 align:middle line:84%
jumped in so he could
vroom off, leave

00:00:30.970 --> 00:00:35.010 align:middle line:84%
us ninth grade boys in awe,
though no one considered

00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:37.770 align:middle line:90%
her even close to pretty.

00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:42.990 align:middle line:84%
But her car wouldn't
start and wouldn't start

00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:46.830 align:middle line:84%
and we stood around
waiting, amused.

00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:49.080 align:middle line:90%
And the car wouldn't start.

00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:51.720 align:middle line:84%
And Frieda froze
and sang to herself.

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:54.660 align:middle line:84%
I'm sure this
would happen to me,

00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:57.780 align:middle line:84%
wouldn't start, wouldn't
start, and Frieda's boyfriend

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:02.250 align:middle line:84%
pressing, pressing the
button, staying cool, cool.

00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:03.970 align:middle line:90%
But it wouldn't.

00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:07.110 align:middle line:90%
And Frieda trying hard not to.

00:01:07.110 --> 00:01:10.560 align:middle line:90%
This would-- would happen to me.

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.370 align:middle line:84%
Wouldn't start, wouldn't start,
until finally, somehow, it

00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:18.570 align:middle line:84%
cranked over and he peeled
out, tires screeching, muffler

00:01:18.570 --> 00:01:21.510 align:middle line:84%
roaring, vrooming,
leaving us gawking,

00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:24.960 align:middle line:84%
the way he meant it all
to be in the first place."

[LAUGHTER]

00:01:27.385 --> 00:01:29.810 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:29.810 --> 00:01:31.760 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.
