  • Thank you.

  • It's a pleasure for us to be here tonight.

  • It's April 29, 2003, and Siegfried and Roy are performing their usual Tuesday night show.

  • Just five months from now, Monacore will attack Roy on this very stage.

  • Tonight's show, however, will go off without a hitch.

  • Roy and I gonna do all the work.

  • All right, Roy.

  • When I found out that I was going to go to Las Vegas, I immediately knew I was going to buy a ticket to Siegfried and Roy.

  • That's Ellen Magid, a veterinarian from Raleigh, North Carolina.

  • She's seeing the duo for the first time with her friend Kay Carter Corker.

  • Stop playing games, Vicki.

  • You're supposed to disappear completely now.

  • You know I hate the doing things halfway.

  • Please.

  • Forgot I'd seen them before, just on television.

  • And I thought, boy, they look older than I thought.

  • It was close enough to kind of notice that we were maybe five or six people away from the stage.

  • There was a space between the end of the table and the stage, too.

  • There was a gap, but a tiger can flat foot a 14 foot jump easy.

  • Ellen notices these details because she actually works for the USDA as a supervisory animal care specialist.
