[first lines]
Kenneth Tynan - Host : We're hoping it will be a good afternoon.
Elaine Dundy - Host : Today is a bullfight day and that can be one of the most exciting days in the world - especially if there's good weather. Bullfighting needs the sun.

Kenneth Tynan - Host : In a few minutes, we'll be joining Orson Welles at the bullring here but, until we do that, I thought we should give you some idea of the spectacle you're going to see. To start with, it's the only spectacle on Earth in which a completely wild animal appears outside a cage - and I do mean a completely wild animal. The Spanish bull is a distinct biological species. It's as different from our bulls as an armored car is from a wheelbarrow.

Kenneth Tynan - Host : You see, a lot of things have to happen before the chap and the bull encounter each other in the bullring. I think we'll start with the hero.
Elaine Dundy - Host : And the hero is the bull. Once when a matador had a very bad fight and been hissed and booed out of the ring, has asked, "Now who was right? You or the crowd?" And he replied, "The bull."
