("Coming Around Again" by Carly Simon) (background music)
Ladies and Gentlemen...Nora Ephron!
I loved working with Meryl Streep
First, I worked with her on "Silkwood."
Alice Arlen and I did a script for her.
But the true stretch, if I do say so, was playing me in "Heartburn."
I highly recommend having Meryl Streep play you.
If your husband is cheating on you with a car hop, get Meryl to play you. You will feel much better.
If you get rear ended in a parking lot, have Meryl Streep play you. If the dingo eats your baby, call Meryl.
She plays all of us better than we play ourselves. Although, it's a little depressing knowing that if you went to audition to play yourself you would lose out to her.
Some days, when I am having a hard day, I call up Meryl and she'll come and she'll step in for me.
She's so good people don't really notice.
