AND I KNOW THAT MY PARENTS GET ASKED THIS QUESTION ALL THE
TIME. OBVIOUSLY HAVING BEEN MARRIED 71
YEARS. AND MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAYS THAT
SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A GOOD KISSER.
AND I LOVE THAT SHE STILL SAYS THAT.
AND THEY STILL SNUGGLE AND THEY STILL TELL EACH OTHER THEY LOVE
EACH OTHER. MOM AND DAD, I LOVE YOU.
YEAH, NO, IT'S AWESOME. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE.
>> James: THIS IS GOOD ADVICE, THIS IS GOOD ADVICE, DAVE.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO, YOU ARE GETTING READY TO CELEBRATE YOUR
FIFTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. NOW TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR
PROPOSAL. I UNDERSTAND THIS DID NOT GO AS
PLANNED. IS THIS RIGHT?
WHAT HAPPENED? >> I THINK THAT IS CORRECT,
YEAH, SO TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACK STORY.
MY WIFE AND I, WE MET AT MARDI IMRAS IN NEW ORLEANS, THAT IS
ITS OWN CRAZY STORY. BUT BASICALLY OVER THE WEEKEND
SHE WAS WEARING THIS SILVER MARDI GRAS MASK ON HER HEAD, I
WAS TRYING TO TAKE TRK SHE WOULDN'T LET ME T WAS PLAYFUL
BACK AND FORTH. SO WHEN SHE LEFT NEW ORLEANS I
WAS STILL THERE FOR, WITHOUT. SHE LEFT THE MASK AND WITH A
LITTLE NOTE. WHAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW IS THAT I
KEPT THE MASK. SO CUT TO FIVE YEARS LATER,
WE'RE GOING UP TO BIG SUR FOR A TRIP, I DECIDE THIS IS THE TRIP
I WILL PROPOSE. HE I KNEW SHE WANTED TO PICK OUT
THE RING FOR HERSELF, ALL RIGHT, I WILL NOT HAVE THE RING BUT I
HAVE GOT THE MASK, THE SPECIAL THING I GOT.
SO THE CAY BEFORE WE'RE GOING UP, I THOUGHT YOU KNOW WHAT, I
SHOULD HAVE A PLACE HOLDER RING TO HAVE SOMETHING TO PUT ON HER
FINGER SO I ABOUT DOWN THE STREET TO THIS OLD HOLLYWOOD
ANTIQUE STORE AND GET THIS LIKE VINTAGE STONE RING THAT I
THOUGHT WAS COOLK LIKE TEN BUCKS ALL RIGHT, FINE, SOMETHING TO
PUT ON HER FINGER. SO WE GO TO BIG SUR, ON THE BACK
PATIO, OUT OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN, TURNS AROUND, I'M ON ONE
KNEE, WEARING THE MASK, HOLDING UP THE RING.
AND BECAUSE IT IS IN FIVE YEARS SHE COULDN'T PLACE THE MASK.
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. SO WHAT SHE SEES IS ME WEARING
THIS WEIRD STUPID MASK, HOLDING UP THIS JAKEY STONE RING AND SO
THE ENTIRE PROPOSAL IS HER SAYING WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW. AND IT'S ME TRYING TO EXPLAIN
HOW INTEET IT IS BUT THAT I KEPT THE MASK FOR FIVE YEARS.
>> James: LIKE IT IS A CALL BACK.
SHE IS LIKE WE WERE IN NEW ORLEANS, I WAS SO DRUNK, I DON'T
REMEMBER WHAT KIND OF MASK. >> ALL TRUE, YES.
>> James: BUT LOOK AT YOU NOW, FIVE GLORIOUS YEARS, A WONDERFUL
COUPLE. YOU REALLY ARE.
BOTH OF YOU ARE SUCH GOOD, ARE YOU GREAT FUN.
NOW ANNETTE, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR HUGE NEW MOVIE, DEATH ON
THE NILE, OBVIOUSLY BASED ON THE GRAPHIC-- TELL US WHAT IT IS
ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY. >> I PLAY A WONDERFUL BOHEMIAN
SORT OF HIGH-CLASS PAINTER AND MY SON IS PLAYED BY TOM BAITMAN
AND I'M ONE OF THE CROWD OF PEOPLE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE
KILLER. AND THAT STD THING WITH AGATHA
CHRISTIE, ISN'T IT. >> James: BUT AM PARTICULAR
I'M AMAZED THAT WHEN HE-- THE AMAZING THING ABOUT POIRO IS IS
HE IS NOT THERE TO SOLVE A CRIME.
HE JUST HAPPENS TO BE ON HOLIDAY.
>> EXACTLY. >> James: I'M AMAZED WHEN
ANYBODY IS ON HOLIDAY THAT THEY DON'T GO POIRO IS IN THE
RESTAURANT, WE BOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE TONIGHT. >> EXACTLY.
>> James: BUT AT THE DON'T, EVERYONE STICKS AROUND AND THEN
THEY ARE LIKE WHAT, OF COURSE SOMEONE DIED.
POIRO IS HERE. >> MORE THAN ONE-- MORE THAN ONE
PERSON DIES. >> James: NOW MUCH OF THE
MOVIE TAKES PLACE ON A TRAVELING BOAT THAT IS GOING DOWN THE
NILE. YOU USED TO WORK ON A BOAT.
YOU WERE A COOK, IS THAT RIGHT? >> THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH.
>> James: WAS THAT A FUN JOB, WHAT KIND OF BOAT.
>> IT WAS INCREDIBLY FUN. WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER I LEARNED
TO SCUBA DIVE WERE SAN DIEGO AND WE, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE
TO DO TO BE CERTIFIED AS A SCUBA DIVER IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BOAT
DIVE, TO JUMP OFF A BOAT. SO I HAD BEEN ON THESE BOATS,
THEY WERE LIKE 65 FOOT DIVE BOATS, SORT OF LIKE WHAT YOU
MIGHT PICTURE A SRT FISHING BOAT EXCEPT THE STERN IS FULL OF
TANKS. SO YEAH, SO THEN I DID THE BOAT
DIVE AND THEN I KIND OF GOT MY IMUTS UP AND WENT DOWN TO THE
SKIPPER, BILL JOHNSON AND SAID COULD I PLEASE BE THE COOK.
AND I WAS THE ASSISTANT COOK WIN WITH WEEKEND.
WEEKEND TRIPS AND THEN I STARTED, I DID IT FOR ABOUT A
YEAR. MAINLY COOKING VERY BAD FOOD FOR
ABOUT 20 TO 30 PEOPLE. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I
COULDN'T DO IT, THAT IS WHY I DID IT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG YOU JUST THINK OKAY, I'M GOING TO GO
GIVE IT A TRY IT IT WAS GREAT PUN.
>> James: I BET IT IT IT WAS. >> THE PEOPLE WERE AMAZING AND
THE DECK HANDS WERE MY FRIENDS, YOU KNOW, I HAD A WONDERFUL
BOYFRIEND NAMED BOB WHO WAS, HIS NICKNAME WAS MAD DOG.
BOB MIENER. >> DID HE LIVE UP TO THAT NAME.
>> HE DID. >> James: WELL, WE HEARD THIS
STORY AND WE FOUND. >> OH WOW.
>> James: MAD DOG. >> OH WOW.
>> James: NO, I'M KIDDING.
