As I Look Out At All Of You Gathered Here, I Want To Say That I Don't See A Room Full Of Parisians In Top Hats And Diamonds And Silk Dresses. I Don't See Bankers And Housewives And Store Clerks. No. I Address You All Tonight As You Truly Are: Wizards, Mermaids, Travelers, Adventurers, And Magicians. You Are The True Dreamers.
