hi. i'm dan paxton.
wow. an honest woman.
your ad. when you said you were beautiful, you were telling the truth.
i had a lot of fun tonight.
i have a confession -- i've never answered an ad before. i did it on a dare.
does this mean i don't get any lasagna?
take your pick.
that's fantastic!
and "the world's greatest violinists" are playing side by side with you because they want to help you win this fight.
but you do have a gift. you're gonna put thirty east harlem kids on stage at carnegie hall not because they're prodigies, but because you got them to stick with something that's hard as hell and to strive for excellence -- which, by the way, i certainly wasn't striving for when i was their age. not to mention the other ten years' worth of students whose lives were changed because of you. that's your talent, roberta.
i know. and by the way, i happen to think you're a pretty good violinist too.
i've heard enough to know you're gonna do just fine.
besides, no one's gonna be paying attention to your playing anyway.
you're glowing.
