[Power was restored on the south side of town more quickly, because most of the lines are underground, the mayor said.] That is very easy, ... You don't have poles and wires to fix ... I am always the last one (to get electricity back), and I am the mayor. That is because I live in an area with a lot of trees. |
[Ramos and Harkes remembered Balboa for his dedication and his fierce play.] I played aggressively and I played angry. I played any way I could, ... That's the way I was taught to play and to live. To be here today receiving this honor is something so unbelievable it has not really sunk in. I am truly honored. |
[Silverman says her family has no objections to her routine:] We're all narcissists. Some things I've said about my dad are unflattering, to say the least. But he loves it; the audience is laughing.
