Ladies and gentlemen,
Carrie Fisher. |
| 00:00:14 |
00:00:17 |
So, I was staying with
Meryl last summer for a few days |
| 00:00:18 |
00:00:20 |
when she asked me to
help her out in her garden. |
| 00:00:21 |
00:00:24 |
It seemed that a certain type
of bug was shamelessly eating |
| 00:00:24 |
00:00:28 |
her raspberry plants, and
something had to be done quickly. |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:33 |
It appeared Meryl and I were
going to have to kill some insects. |
| 00:00:34 |
00:00:37 |
She was this viscious bug crusher,
without conscience. |
| 00:00:38 |
00:00:40 |
I learned something
that day: |
| 00:00:41 |
00:00:42 |
Don't mess with Meryl. |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:47 |
I had to find this
out the hard way. |
| 00:00:47 |
00:00:48 |
Not that I crossed her. |
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:53 |
I just, well, I was her
in the sense that |
| 00:00:54 |
00:00:58 |
she played, essentially,
me in my semi-autobiographical |
| 00:00:58 |
00:01:00 |
screenplay
"Postcards From The Edge". |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:09 |
After Postcards premiered,
I began daily to see the pain |
| 00:01:09 |
00:01:13 |
and disappointment in the eyes
of my family and friends, |
| 00:01:15 |
00:01:17 |
every time I wasn't Meryl. |
| 00:01:19 |
00:01:21 |
There's a name for this condition,
as it turns out, |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:25 |
Meryl-noma Streep-dicocis. |
| 00:01:28 |
00:01:32 |
Meryl, you're either the best
friend a person could have, |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:36 |
or the best damned actress
in the world. |
| 00:01:37 |
00:01:38 |
I love you. |
