TRANSCRIPT

(nostalgic piano music) - And she is as delightful in her presence, as funny.

as changeable, as interesting.

And as remarkable as any adolescent dream of a heavenly blonde.

Yet this blonde heaven wants him.

- It looks like a very sweet period.

- He looks a little warmer.

- Yeah, yeah.

Like she broke through that barrier.

- [Male] She was really good to him.

I mean, she backed him up.

- [Female 1] If you look at the picture that dad took of her with and him at the Brooklyn bridge, and if you look at the way she's looking into his eyes, if that isn't love- - [Male] That was love, yeah.

But it obviously didn't last.
