- There's a couple in our audience
and I'd like to meet them.
Monica and Brett Martinez, come on down.
Here's what I know about you two.
So you like to hang out on the beach.
- Yes.
- And Portia and I like to hang out on the beach.
And so Portia and I were walking on the beach
around sunset, as we usually do
in an area where we live.
And--and you saw us and what happened?
- Oh, gosh.
So it was just Brett, my friend and I,
and we're sitting there and Brett's like,
"Oh, yeah, and there's Ellen and Portia."
And he's, like, pointing.
I'm like, "Brett, don't point.
Didn't your mother ever teach you not to point?"
And he's like, "But no, really."
And then we were just like, "Okay."
And then there you are, you and Portia,
and I was just like, "Oh, my gosh.
"Oh, my gosh, I have to get up.
"I have to--I'm gonna give her a hug.
"I'm gonna tell her how much I love her.
She has to know."
And, um, I wanted to let you know we watch you every day.
And, um, and so-- [laughs]
Sorry.
So then, um, I was just staring at you guys walk away.
And then, um, you guys walked down,
and then you turned around and you walked back,
started walking back, and I said,
"Okay, well, I at least have to wave at them,
'cause I need to let Ellen know how much I love her."
And, um, so then I was staring at you,
waiting for you to look at me,
and as soon as you looked at me,
I waved, and you waved back.
And I was like-- Oh, I could see--
I knew we would be best friends.
[laughter] And, um--
And then so, um--
And I was--I was just-- I was so happy.
- Yeah, I know. - And I--It was--That was it.
- But then-- then we were walking,
and then some other people
didn't have someone like Brett there saying, "Don't do that."
And they came up and wanted pictures with us.
- Yeah.
- And I didn't want to turn them down,
so I ended up taking pictures with them.
And then you're watching me take pictures with other people,
even though he told you not to,
and I understand you've been giving him
a hard time ever since. - Oh.
- Which is why y'all are here today,
because he wanted to make it up to you,
because you've been-- - I tried.
- So, uh--- See, right?
[applause]
I mean, what's great--
What's great is that, you know,
I mean, you've been forgiving him
for the fact that you couldn't afford a honeymoon,
that you couldn't take time off.
And yet you have been giving him such a hard time about this,
the fact that he told you not to stop me.
- It's, like-- It's the one thing
that I couldn't-- I couldn't give her.
You know, I can work overtime,
I can get a second job, whatever.
I can do whatever I need to do
in order to get the honeymoon, to get--
- Look, he took a picture of us walking away.
That's what you did. - Kinda creepy, right?
- They're just like, "Oh, we gotta get a picture."
I'm like, "No, don't take-- They're walking away."
- That's all right. So here's what we're gonna do.
And coincidentally, she's not normally here.
She's usually working on "Scandal,"
but Portia's here today, so, um--let's, um--
[cheers and applause] Let's take a picture.
Um, let's make it like really
like we're on the beach over here.
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]
- Okay.
- Oh, hi.
- Have a-- Here's Ari.
All right. - Okay.
- Here, should we--
Oh, you want to stand or sit? What do y'all want?
Do you want to sit? - Yeah.
- All right, let's sit down.
All right.
Great.
[cheers and applause]
Yeah, now we're best friends.
- [indistinct]
- All right.
So also I know that you didn't go on a honeymoon,
so we want to change that.
