Meet Joe Black (Anthony Hopkins speech)

[ Cheering ]

- Speech ! Speech ! - Speech !

[ Chanting ] Speech ! Speech ! Speech !

Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

- l thought l was gonna sneak away tonight. - [ Crowd ] No !

[ Scattered Laughing ]

What a glorious night.

Every face l see is a memory.

lt may not be a perfectly perfect memory.

Uh, sometimes we had our ups and downs.

But we're all together,

and you're mine for a night.

And l'm gonna break precedent and tell you my one candle wish.

That you would have a life as lucky as mine,

where you can wake up one morning and say,

''l don't want anything more.''

Sixty-five years.

Don't they go by in a blink ?
