"AN IRISH GOODBYE"
Tom Berkeley and Ross White 

ROSS WHITE:  Deary me.  Thank you so much to the Academy for this incredible, incredible honour.  
Thank you our fellow nominees for your work.  It inspires us so very much.  

Thank you, everybody, to everybody back home in Northern Ireland who helped us make this film.  We wish we had the time to list you all here, but you know who you are.  

Um, there's something very important we would like to speak about as well.  

TOM BERKELEY:  This is actually the second most important thing about today because it's this man's birthday.  He's out here in Hollywood wearing a leopard print suit jacket.  We would love to use the time up here to sing for James.

Happy birthday to you.  Happy birthday to you.  Happy birthday, dear James.  Happy birthday to you.
