    I just remembered that Emma was a stand up comic along with Hugh Laurie back in the day. She's really good at stand up comedy. Here on YT there are alot of her acceptance speeches for various awards and she's hilarious in all of them!

    2:56 to 2:58, when she says "I do hope you had a good time..."
    What priceless comedy. She's one hell of a terrific actress.

      @@carriemitch1 Probably the joke was about Scottish cooking being a punishment but also I think Diane Sawyer has Scottish origins. She was Mike Nichols' wife.

      0:08
      tesoro ho ristretto le mie ricerche
      0:13
      a due aree le due cose che penso
      0:15
      ci legano di più e sono risate e
      0:20
      colpa Ho memoria per le risate
      0:23
      e un regalo pratico per il senso di colpa ehm
      0:27
      mia Mary è questa è la prima volta che io
      0:29
      ti ho mai visto ridere davvero come si deve e
      0:32
      stavamo provando per i colori primari
      0:35
      una bella sala prove con un lungo
      0:36
      tavola e tu eri apparecchiato alla fine dell'essere
      0:38
      meraviglioso e qualcuno dice qualcosa
      0:40
      buffo
      0:41
      non è raro e probabilmente tu in realtà
      0:44
      e tutti hanno riso e tutti noi ah ah ah
      0:47
      e poi abbiamo smesso di ridere e basta
      0:49
      te era solo all'inizio ed è cresciuto
      0:53
      questa risata in una sorta di pace e
      0:56
      poi sviluppato in una sorta di profondo e
      0:59
      tosse dal suono leggermente pericoloso e
      1:02
      poi è tornato in un sibilo e tu
      1:03
      ha iniziato a gonfiarsi leggermente e andare a
      1:05
      colore particolare e poi iniziarono a piangere
      1:08
      spremere ai lati degli occhi
      1:10
      e io lavo sta morendo me ne sono reso conto
      1:17
      questo tipo di risate non c'era niente da fare
      1:20
      con semplice umorismo questa risata era come
      1:23
      il buon sesso in un modo esisteva per atomizzare il
      1:28
      mondo che poi per forza doveva
      1:30
      ricostruirsi in un poco
      1:32
      forma migliorata e mi sento ogni volta che siamo
      1:36
      ridere così da qualche parte
      1:38
      il fascismo e l'imbroglio muoiono un po'
      1:42
      Penso che tu ed io condividiamo la stessa cosa
      1:45
      tipo di coscienza che entrambi bramano
      1:48
      e deplora l'approvazione, quindi ti ho creato
      1:53
      um questo è il post tributo
      2:02
      kit di punizione e um come lo vedi colpevole
      2:09
      e degno di vergogna qualsiasi delle cose
      2:11
      in cui potresti sentire tutto dentro
      2:14
      ecco a cosa ti serve intendo
      2:16
      esempio c'è un bel flagello allora
      2:25
      c'è questo bastoncino affilato che è
      2:27
      fantastico se mai hai voglia di piangere
      2:28
      perché ovviamente questo ti rende
      2:30
      ti senti terribile perché pensi oh dio io
      2:31
      comprato in esso e ti amo così tanto
      2:32
      mettiti solo molto acuto negli occhi
      2:34
      giusto e poi hai tutto il bene
      2:35
      motivo per piangere e poi ultimo ma no
      2:38
      meno importante e molto importante è un libro di
      2:40
      Cucina scozzese lì dentro, ma Tim andiamo
      2:44
      pensaci meglio
      2:44
      ed è questo sé
      2:48
      ministero sarà clistere che è assolutamente
      2:50
      garantito per sbarazzarsi di qualcuno di quelli
      2:52
      brutti sentimenti gonfi um spero
      2:56
      ti sei divertito e ovviamente e
      3:00
      va da sé che ti amo molto
      3:03
      molto
