Carol Kester : [Howard - the 'birthday boy' has just arrived, with Mary-Ellen] Howard, I'd like you, and Mary-Ellen to meet a very good friend of mine, Don Livingston.
[Don gets up, and shakes hands with Mary-Ellen, who just sat down]
Howard Borden : Hi, Don. How are you?
Don Livingston : [Don takes Howard's hand, and starts to shake it] Well; 40 years ago - they dragged you - kicking and screaming into a world you didn't even make. And today - you're soaring over it
[as Don looks far off, he gestures with his hand]
Don Livingston : Well, Godspeed, and
[salutes Howard]
Don Livingston : may the wind be at your tail.
[Don smiles and nods]
Howard Borden : [Howard smiles, looks down, then looks into Don's face] Wow, that was beautiful.
Don Livingston : [Don gets the look an idea has just hit him] Yeah, yeah! That wasn't bad
[Don reaches into his jacket pocket, pulls out a pencil and paper, and scribbles down what he's just said to Howard]
