Host: And now, for the moment that you have all been waiting for. The winner of the Best Friend of the Year Award is Miss Sophia Petrillo.
Sophia: I'm very proud to win this award. Who would have guessed an old lady with a tin can could raise so much dough? I would like to thank you all for choosing me to be the Best Friend of the Year. I'm a very lucky woman. Not only do I have a lot of friends in this community, but I have a lot of good friends at home. Friends who care about me and care about each other. I count my blessings every day, because I have the kind of friends who stand by you through the bad and the good. When you're lucky enough to find that kind of friendship, I guess you just want to pass it on. Wait. May I say a few words, just to my friends 75 and over? I'd like you to take a good look at your dates for this evening. Now take a look at mine! Stand up, Raoul! The man is half my age. Isn't he gorgeous? Let's give us both a big hand!
