00:00My grandmother's name is Estelle Marie Talley
00:03And she's not here tonight
00:05And this is gonna be the toughest part
00:07But she was my first acting teacher
00:09She told me stand up straight
00:11Put your shoulders back
00:13Act like you got some sense
00:17We would go places and I would wild out
00:19And she says act like you've been somewhere
00:23And then when I would act a fool
00:24She would beat me
00:26She would whoop me
00:28And she could get an Oscar for the way she whooped me
00:30Because she was great at it
00:33And after she whooped me
00:35She would talk to me
00:37And tell me why she whooped me
00:38She said I want you to be a southern gentleman
00:41And she still talks to me now
00:43Only now she talks to me in my dreams
00:57And I can't wait to go to sleep tonight
00:59Because we got a lot to talk about
01:00I love you
