  Testimonial Speaker : We're all very proud of Judah Rosenthal's philanthropic efforts. His endless hours of fund raising for the hospital, the new medical center, and now, the ophthalmology wing, which until this year had just been a dream. But it's due to Rosenthal our friend that we most appreciate. The husband, the father, the golf companion. Naturally if you have a medical problem you can call Judah...

  Miriam Rosenthal : You're blushing, darling.

  Testimonial Speaker : ...day or night, weekends or holidays. But you can also call Judah to find out which is the best restaurant in Paris - or Athens. Or which hotel to stay at in Moscow. Or the best recording of a particular Mozart symphony...

  Sharon Rosenthal : My father's so nervous about having to get up to speak.

  Chris : I know, I know. I knew he was nervous when you didn't eat any of those cocktail weenies at the hors d'oeuvres.

  Miriam Rosenthal : He was so courageous all week. Then suddenly tonight, stage fright. Really Judah, you were fine until you got home from work today.

• Miriam Rosenthal : Judah, I don't know what's wrong with you these days. You're a different person.

  Judah Rosenthal : I believe in God, Miriam. I know it. Because, without God the world is a cesspool.
