00:00:01.160 --> 00:00:02.910 align:middle line:84%
Well, I want to read
something else called

00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:03.990 align:middle line:90%
"The Best Show in Vegas."

00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:06.570 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:10.740 align:middle line:84%
The best show in Las
Vegas was the old workman

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:14.580 align:middle line:84%
by the library wall
in the afternoon.

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:20.550 align:middle line:84%
His trowel ballet, his
black skin drinking the sun.

00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:23.640 align:middle line:84%
His family waiting in
the shade, by a car

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.200 align:middle line:84%
that had honorable
scars and was faithful.

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:32.130 align:middle line:84%
Howard Hughes has not
solved it all, staff

00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:36.090 align:middle line:84%
and fortunes strangled
together in air conditioning.

00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:40.530 align:middle line:84%
And no gambler's hands have
built so good a wall, or church

00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:44.370 align:middle line:90%
forgiven as well as his.

00:00:44.370 --> 00:00:50.070 align:middle line:84%
Good afternoon to me, a
hitchhiker learning the world

00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:55.740 align:middle line:84%
that his work held still in the
heat and his welcome shared.

00:00:55.740 --> 00:01:00.420 align:middle line:84%
Past the headlines,
back over the years,

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:02.840 align:middle line:90%
I give him this Oscar.

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.000 align:middle line:90%
