The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert:
I want to thank Troubled Waters and their lead singer Alan for being here... Can I - do you mind? Can I - can I call you Al?

Paul Simon:
[nods agreeably]... Perfect.

[first lines]

[Stephen Colbert sings the national anthem at various locations around the United States, joined by everyday people; at the beginning and end, he is at a Little League game in Central Park, flanked by an umpire and a coach]

Jon Stewart:
[removing umpire's mask and walking offscreen] Play ball!

Stephen Colbert:
[looking at umpire]... Hey!

Stephen Colbert:
[responding to audience applause and cheers] Hello, nation! Folks - I don't know what that means - well, folks, if I knew you were gonna do that, I would have come out here *months* ago.

Stephen Colbert:
As long as I have nine months to make one hour of TV, I could do this forever.
