TONY PERKINS, ABC NEWS
(Off Camera) Good morning, Bill. Good morning, Robin. Before we get
to the weather, very quickly, these two young ladies, I've got Maria
and Sada (PH), originally from Armenia, correct?
MARIA, AUDIENCE MEMBER
Correct, correct.
TONY PERKINS
(Off Camera) Now, now, we've been talking. You speak wonderful
English. And tell me how and why you learned to speak English.
MARIA
Well, when we were kids, Sada and myself in Armenia, we were just
small children, we listened to the Beatle songs. We adore the Beatle
songs. And they inspired us to learn English because we wanted to
understand what the Beatles were saying in those beautiful,
"Michelle," "Girl," "Ticket to Ride," right? So, we wanted to know
what it was all about. And the Beatles inspired us to study English
and, hey, I'm studying English here as well. I am planning to become
a professor of English language. So, they truly, truly inspired me.
TONY PERKINS
(Off Camera) And they are big Beatles, Beatles fans and Ringo fans.
Hold up the beautiful signs.
MARIA
Absolutely.
TONY PERKINS
(Off Camera) We got a gift for you. I think you'll like this. Ringo's
new CD, signed by the man himself. Right there for you. Thank you
very much.
MARIA
Thank you.
TONY PERKINS
(Off Camera) All right. That's all we have time for here. Let's find
out what's happening in your neighborhood.
