>> Ellen: THANK YOU!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I FEEL IT, I
GIVE IT ALL BACK TO YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYBODY.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SEE
YOUR HOMES AND YOUR ROOMS AND
WHATEVER YOU ARE.
I APPRECIATE IT.
I LIKE TO SEE WHERE YOU CHOOSE
TO SIT TO WATCH ME.
[LAUGHTER]
IT INTERESTING.
I LIKE IT VERY MUCH.
ANYWAY, OUR AUDIENCE IS STILL
VIRTUAL, OBVIOUSLY, BUT YOUR
DRINKS LOOK VERY, VERY REAL.
I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU SIT AWAY.
SIT, SIT.
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE
EVERYONE BACK IN THE STUDIO
DANCING AND SINGING AND HOOKING
UP, THE STUFF WE USED TO DO
HERE.
FEELING HOPEFUL, THINGS ARE
STARTING TO REOPEN.
LOS ANGELES HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED
TO THE ORANGE TEAR.
I THINK THAT MEANS COVID CASES
ARE DOWN.
OR IT MEANS WE CAN ONLY PARK AT
THE CURB FOR 15 MINUTES, I'M NOT
SURE.
MOVIE THEATERS ARE OPENING UP
BACK AGAIN.
YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK, THOUGH,
AND PANTS.
[LAUGHTER]
THE MASK MAKES IT HARD TO SMOKE.
[LAUGHTER]
OH, I'M BEING TOLD YOU CAN'T
SMOKE IN THERE, ANYWAY.
WHEN DID THAT STOP?
>> A LONG TIME AGO.
>> Ellen: WATER PARKS ARE
REOPENING.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I.
[LAUGHTER]
REMEMBER WATER PARKS?
THAT'S WHERE YOU USED TO CATCH
THE DISEASES BEFORE THE
CORONAVIRUS.
DEFINITELY SOME THINGS WE WILL
NEVER GO BACK TO.
SHAKING HANDS.
GOING INTO BALL PITS.
[LAUGHTER]
I THINK OF THE FUND THAT PORTIA
AND I HAD IN THOSE BALL PITS.
[LAUGHTER]
C'EST LA VIE.
I'M EXCITED FOR THINGS TO GO
BACK TO SOME KIND OF NORMAL.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN
HOW TO BE AROUND EACH OTHER
AGAIN.
THAT'S GOING TO BE STRANGE.
IT'S NOT EASY TO GET OUT OF
CONVERSATIONS IN PERSON.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU CAN'T MUTE PEOPLE.
YOU CAN'T PRETEND YOUR WI-FI IS
DOWN.
I GUESS YOU COULD FREEZE.
AND I --
[LAUGHTER]
THAT WOULD MAKE THEM WALK AWAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOING.
[LAUGHTER]
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO GET
USED TO SEEING A WHOLE LOT MORE
OF PEOPLE, LIKE THEIR WHOLE
BODIES, NOT JUST THE TORSO UP.
WE ARE GOING TO SEE PEOPLE'S
FEET AGAIN, AND THEIR ANKLES,
AND THEIR KNEES.
I FORGOT ABOUT THE NEEDS.
THE KNEES ARE LIKE THE ELBOWS OF
THE LEGS.
[LAUGHTER]
THINK ABOUT IT.
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO SEE
PEOPLE'S TEETH AGAIN, THEY ARE
GOING TO SEE OUR TEETH.
YOU KNOW, THIS WAS THE TIME TO
GET BRACES, WHEN YOU HAD THIS
YEAR, OR A NOSE RING, OR A LOWER
FACE TATTOO.
[LAUGHTER]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD BE.
WHAT WOULD YOU PUT ON YOUR LOWER
FACE?
[LAUGHTER]
CHIN HAIR?
LET ME QUICKLY TOUCH ON SOME
THINGS THAT WE WILL NEVER, EVER
DO AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS PAST
YEAR.
BAKING BREAD.
NO MORE BAKING BREAD.
IT IS OVER.
PUZZLES ARE DONE.
KNITTING.
LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE OR
LEARNING A NEW ENTRAINMENT.
IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT THIS YE
YEAR, THE SHIP HAS SAILED.
THIS IS THE TIME.
THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF
THE CORONA TUNNEL.
SOON WE WILL BE ABLE TO HANG OUT
AND MAK WITH FRIENDS AGAIN.
OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IS GOING TO
BE GETTING OUT OF THOSE PLANS.
[LAUGHTER]
GIVE IT UP FOR A MAN WITH A
PLAN.

WE DON'T KNOW.
tWITCH, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING
FORWARD TO WHEN THINGS RETURN TO
NORMAL?
>> tWitch: OH, MOVIE THEATERS.
RESTAURANTS, LIKE DINNER AT
RESTAURANTS WOULD BE GREAT.
ACCLIMATING THE KIDS BACK INTO

LEARN THAT.

>> Ellen: I THINK A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO
THEIR KIDS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL,
AND I HOPE A LOT OF TEACHERS ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, TOO.
IT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGING YEAR
FOR TEACHERS.
MY FRIENDS AT HILTON WANT TO
THANK ALL OF THE TEACHERS WHO
HAVE WORKED SO HARD DURING THIS
CRAZY TIME, AND THEY WANT TO
HELP THEM CREATE NEW MEMORIES.
HERE IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO.
WHAT DID YOU KNOW AN AMAZING
TEACHER WHO DESERVES AN
ALL-INCLUSIVE GETAWAY FROM
HILTON GO TO ELLEN TUBE TO
NOMINATE THEM.
WE ARE GOING TO SURPRISE ONE
TEACHER WITH A BREAK FROM THEIR
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM AND SEND THEM
ON A REAL-LIFE VACATION.
A REAL-LIFE ONE.
[APPLAUSE]
REAL-LIFE VACATION.
TEACHERS ARE SO INSPIRING.
AND SPEAKING OF INSPIRING, I
HEARD THERE IS A NEW TREND ON
SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE PEOPLE ARE
TURNING TEXT MESSAGES INTO
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.
I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOUR
FRIENDS ARE.
[LAUGHTER]
I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY WITH MY
AUDIENCE, SO I ASKED ALL OF YOU
TO SEND ME YOUR LAST TEXT
MESSAGE THAT YOU RECEIVED.
GET READY TO BE INSPIRED.
[LAUGHTER]
NIKKI SENT THIS IN.
SHE GOT A TEXT, "THE WIND IS
CRAZY."
[LAUGHTER]
WOW, SO TRUE.
[LAUGHTER]
WAIT UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE RAIN.
[LAUGHTER]
THE NEXT ONE IS FROM VIRGINIA.
"PLEASE GET PREGNANT AGAIN, I
NEED ANOTHER NEPHEW."
[LAUGHTER]
WITH THAT, HOW COULD SHE SAY NO
TO THAT?
THAT IS AN APHRODISIAC RIGHT
THERE, JUST LOOKING AT IT.
THIS IS FROM SABRINA.
"THE MEAL YOU MADE SLABS."
[LAUGHTER]
THAT IS A THINKER.
THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.
DO YOU USE THAT WORD, "SLAPS" A
LOT?
THAT'S VERY POPULAR RIGHT NOW?
IT MEANS IT IS DELICIOUS?
>> tWitch: USUALLY YOU ARE
TALKING ABOUT A BEAT OR A SONG,
SOME SONG SLAPS.

>> Ellen: SOMETHING IS A HIT.
IT SLAPS.
>> tWitch: YEAH, YEAH.
IT SLAPS.
>> Ellen: OKAY.
[LAUGHTER]
THAT'S FIRE.
[LAUGHTER]
THIS IS THE LAST ONE.
THIS IS FROM REBECCA.
"ZOE PEED ON THE AND THEN
FINISHED ON THE FLOOR."
YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE IS A
LITTLE ZOE AND ALL OF US.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
[LAUGHTER]
IF YOU WANT ME TO TURN YOUR NEXT
TEXT OR ANY TEXT INTO AN
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE, SEND IT TO

INSPIRED TO DO IT.

HOW AM I JUST LEARNING THIS?
>> Lauren: [LAUGHS]
I DON'T KNOW, ELLEN.
WE HAVE TO KEEP MINING FOR NEW
THINGS TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE YOU
ARE SO KIND TO HAVE ME ON.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS THE '70s.
MY DAD WAS JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW,
FEELING HIS WAY THROUGH LIFE,
AND EVERY TIME I ASK HIM ABOUT
IT, HE'S LIKE, YEAH, EVERYONE
WAS LIVING -- IT WAS SORT OF, WE
DROPPED OUT, I GUESS, FOR A
LITTLE WHILE.
AND LIVED IN A HOUSEBOAT.
I GOT PICKED UP FOR NURSERY
SCHOOL IN A SPEEDBOAT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Ellen: AS YOU DO.
THAT'S FANTASTIC.
HOW LONG DID YOU LIVE ON A
HOUSEBOAT?
>> Lauren: NOT FOR VERY LONG.
WE WERE IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS,
AND YEAH, MAYBE NOT EVEN QUITE A
YEAR.
I DO REMEMBER FEELING SEASICK.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Ellen: OKAY.
>> Lauren: YEAH, BUT WE HAD A
LOT OF COOL EXPERIENCES.
WE KIND OF MOVED AROUND FOR A
WHILE THERE.
>> Ellen: YEAH, THAT WOULD BE
QUITE AN EXPERIENCE TO GET
PICKED UP IN A SPEEDBOAT TO GO
TO NURSERY SCHOOL, WOW.
ANYWAY, BUT NOT IF YOU ARE
SEASICK.
HOW IS YOUR LITTLE PUPPY?
YOU ADOPTED A DOG THE LAST TIME
YOU WERE HERE.
>> Lauren: WELL, IT WAS QUITE
A SAGA.
I ADOPTED A BEAUTIFUL PUPPY, WHO
TURNED OUT TO HAVE A LOT OF
MEDICAL ISSUES, OH, BLESS HER.
AND NEEDED QUITE A FEW SURGERI
SURGERIES, AND SHE STARTED
WORKING WITH THIS VERY WONDERFUL
LADY AT REHAB NAMED DENITA
OUTSIDE OF VANCOUVER, AND SHE
REQUIRED A LOT OF MASSAGE AND
THERAPY, SO SHE WOULD STAY WITH
HER WHILE I WAS WORKING, AND
OVER TIME, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT
NOT ONLY WAS SHE VERY HAPPY ON
THIS FARM WITH ANITA, BUT SHE
FELL IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.
AND I --
>> Ellen: A DOG OR A WOMAN?
>> Lauren: A DOG.
>> Ellen: A DOG WOMAN.
THE WOMAN WAS A DOG.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Lauren: NO, A DOG.
>> Ellen: OKAY.
>> Lauren: TO THE DEGREE THAT
SHE WOULD COME BACK TO ME ON THE
WEEKENDS AND CRY.
LIKE, SHE WAS SO -- SHE BECAME
BEST -- YEAH.
SO, HER FRIEND -- NOT THE
MIDDLE, BUT THE -- ON THE END.
THEY REALLY BECAME COMPANIONS
AND PARTNERS, AND SO, SHE WAS
BETTER OFF THERE, IN ADDITION TO
LIVING WITH ANITA, WHO WOULD
JUST TAKE BETTER CARE OF HER
NEEDS, SO IT WORKED OUT GREAT,
BUT WOW, IT WAS QUITE, QUITE A
YEAR.
>> Ellen: SO SHE IS --
>> Lauren: HAPPY ENDING.
>> Ellen: YOUR DOG IS A
LESBIAN LIVING ON A FARM?
[LAUGHTER]
>> Lauren: I MEAN, AREN'T THE
BEST DOGS DOING THAT?
>> Ellen: AND THE BEST
LESBIANS.
>> Lauren: THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Ellen: WE ALL WANT TO LIVE
ON A FARM.
ALL OF US.
AND WE ALL CRIED WHEN WE ARE
TAKEN AWAY FROM OUR COMPANIONS
ON A FARM.
>> Lauren: PARTNERS.
>> Ellen: RIGHT.
>> Lauren: EXACTLY.
>> Ellen: SPEAKING OF
PARTNERS, HOW IS PETER DOING?
A LOT OF PEOPLE DURING THIS
TIME, IT EITHER ENHANCES THEIR
RELATIONSHIP OR ITS WITH THEM
UP.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
>> Lauren: WELL, OUR UNIQUE
SITUATION WAS, BECAUSE
"THE MIGHTY DUCKS" SHOT IN
VANCOUVER, AND BECAUSE OF
QUARANTINE, I COULDN'T COME AND
GO.
NORMALLY, IT'S A TWO HOUR
FLIGHT, BUT I COULDN'T DO THAT,
SO WE WERE SEPARATED FOR ALMOST
FIVE MONTHS.
>> Ellen: WOW.
>> Lauren: WHICH HAD NEVER
HAPPENED BEFORE, SO WHEN I CAME
HOME --
[LAUGHS]
THE HOUSE WAS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT.
[LAUGHTER]
THERE WERE MORE PILES, I WOULD
SAY?
AND HE AND HIS SON HAD REALLY
BONDED, WHICH IS FANTASTIC, BUT
I THINK THE REENTRY WAS MORE
DIFFICULT.
LIKE, IT WAS MORE LIKE THEY WERE
THE MARRIED COUPLE AND I WAS THE
PERSON WHO WAS, LIKE, THEY WERE
LIKE, "WE DON'T DO IT THAT WAY
ANYMORE" OR WHATEVER.
THEY WERE LIKE, "NO, NO, NO THIS
IS HOW THINGS HAPPEN."
AND PETER STARTED I THINK I
MIGHT GUESS JUST TO MAKE LIFE --
COVID LIFE FUN, WHERE HE WOULD
GO TO THE STORE AND STOCK UP ON
RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF WHATEVER
AND LEAVE IT IN THE CORNER OF
THE LIVING ROOM, AND THEN HE
WOULD CALL IT "COVID CORNER" AS
IF THAT SOMEHOW MADE THESE PILEA
PLACE TO VISIT, OR A PLACE TO
SHOW THE GUEST.
AND HE WOULD BE LIKE, "HEY,
GUYS, HAVE YOU SEEN COVID
CORNER?"
NOT LIKE AN AMUSEMENT PARK.
IT'S NOT LIKE I A THING.

CORNER AND ALLOW IT TO EXIST,

SUDDENLY EVERYBODY HAD THESE
GIANT BOOBS, AND I DID NOT
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DEAL WAS.

HAD A WONDER BRA, AND I REALIZED
MY BOOBS WERE OUT OF DATE, YOU
HAVE TO UPDATE YOUR BOOBS, YOU
HAVE TO KEEP THEM FRESH, YOU
HAVE TO KEEP THEM CURRENT, WITH
THE TIMES, SO I GOT A WONDER
BRA, CHICKEN CUTLETS, AND ALL
THAT STUFF, AND I WAS SITTING
WITH MAE WHITMAN, MY DEAR
FRIEND, A LITTLE WHILE AGO, AND
SHE WAS LIKE, "OH, I NEED A
DIFFERENT BRA FOR WORK," AND I
WAS LIKE, YOU JUST NEED A BRA.
WHAT IS THAT THING YOU ARE
WEARING?
THIS, MY BRA.
THAT'S LIKE TISSUE PAPER WITH A
PIECE OF TWINE.
SHE WAS LIKE, LAUREN, NO ONE
WEARS ALL THAT JUNK ANYMORE.
AND I WAS LIKE, DARN IT, IT
HAPPENED AGAIN!
I LET MY BOOBS IN THE LAST
DECADE, SO YOU HAVE TO
KEEP YOUR BOOBS, YOU KNOW,
CURRENT.

>> Ellen: OUR NEXT GUESTS ARE
TWO SIBLINGS FROM BOSTON WHO
TRAGICALLY LOST THEIR FATHER TO
COVID-19 LAST APRIL.
SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE MADE IT
THEIR MISSION TO HONOR HIS
MEMORY BY GETTING A WORD HE
COMPLETELY MADE UP INTO THE
DICTIONARY.
PLEASE WELCOME HILARY AND
JONATHAN KRIEGER.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Hilary: HI.
>> Ellen: HI!
>> Jonathan: HI.
>> Hilary: HI.
>> Ellen: IT IS SO NICE TO
MEET YOU BOTH.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M VERY SORRY TO
HEAR ABOUT YOUR DAD.
HE PASSED AWAY FROM COVID,
BASICALLY ABOUT A YEAR AND AGO,
NOW, THIS TIME.
SO YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR HIM,
AND JUST -- OKAY, SO TELL
EVERYONE IN THE STORY.
YOUR DAD INSPIRED YOU TO START
THIS PROJECT.
THE WORD IS...
>> Hilary: ORBISCULATE.
>> Ellen: ORBISCULATE.
WHICH HE MADE UP.
BUT YOU DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A
MADE UP WORD.
TELL EVERYBODY THE STORY.
>> Hilary: WELL, IT TURNS OUT
THAT BACK IN COLLEGE, HE HAD AN
ASSIGNMENT TO COME UP WITH A NEW
WORD FOR A COLLEGE CLASS, AND HE
CAME UP WITH THIS WORD COME
ORBISCULATE, WHICH MEANS "WHEN
YOU DIG INTO A GRAPEFRUIT AND IT
SQUIRTS JUICE INTO YOUR EYE,"
AND OTHER TYPES OF FRUIT THAT
ATTACK YOU WHEN YOU ARE NOT
WANTING -- AND HE LIKED THE
WORD, THOUGHT IT WAS NECESSARY
AND USEFUL, SO HE JUST KEPT ON
USING IT, AS ONE WORD WHEN YOU
COME UP WITH A GOOD WORD, SO HE
USED IT AROUND THE HOUSE GROWING
UP, AND, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T ASK
YOUR PARENT, "HEY, THAT WORD YOU
USED, IS OUT IN THE DICTIONARY?"
YOU JUST THINK THAT IS THE WORD
WE USED, AND THAT WAS THE WORD
WE KNEW GROWING UP.
EMBARRASSINGLY, IT WAS NOT UNTIL
I WAS 23 AND A FRIEND OF MINE
WAS OVER, WE HAPPENED TO BE AT
HER PARENTS HOUSE IN BOSTON, AND
WE WERE EATING SOME ORANGES, AND
ONE ORBISCULATED.
[LAUGHTER]
IT SPRAYED, AND I SAID THAT IT
ORBISCULATED ON ME, HE SAID, "IT
DID WHAT?"
[LAUGHTER]
AND IT TURNS OUT HE DID NOT KNOW
THE WORD, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A
GREAT WORD AND HE SHOULD KNOW
IT, SO WE MADE A BET TO SEE IF
IT WAS IN THE DICTIONARY.
WE BET $5, AND OPENED IT UP, AND
TO MY GREAT SHOT, THERE WAS NO
ORBISCULATE IN THE DICTIONARY.
>> Ellen: RIGHT.
>> Hilary: INCREDIBLY
UPSETTING TO FIND THAT OUT.
>> Ellen: SO, YEAH, WHAT A
TIME TO FIND OUT.
AND YOU LOSE $5, TOO.
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
>> Jonathan: ADJUST FOR
INFLATION, THAT'S LIKE $75.
>> Hilary: IT WAS CAREFUL KNOW
MY TERRIBLE.
>> Ellen: WHEN YOU CONFRONTED
HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT, FIRST IT
WAS HILARIOUS THAT HE MADE IT
SO -- SO YOU ARE TRYING TO GET
IT INTO THE DICTIONARY, AND HOW
DO YOU GO ABOUT GETTING A WORD
INTO A DICTIONARY?
>> Jonathan: WELL, WE DID SOME
RESEARCH.
I GOOGLED IT, AND THAT REALLY
COVERED OUR RESEARCH, BUT MY
SISTER CALLED EDITORS, AND THERE
ARE PEOPLE AT THESE MAJOR
DICTIONARIES AND THEIR JOB IS TO
SCOUT THE WORLD LOOKING FOR NEW
WORDS.
ANYTIME WORDS GET USED, THEY
START A FILE ON IT, SO THE MORE
A WORD GETS USED, THE MORE THEY
TRACK THAT, KEEPING -- SO
"ORBISCULATED" WOULD BE
DIFFERENT.
THE MORE IT IS USED, THE MORE IT
WOULD BECOME PART OF THE
DICTIONARY.
>> Ellen: SINCE YOU STARTED
THE PROJECT, YOUR PEOPLE REACH
OUT AND SAY THEY HAVE BEEN USING
THE WORD.
AND I LOVE THIS.
WHILE YOU ARE WORKING TO GET
INTO THE DICTIONARY,
ORBISCULATE, I WILL SAY IT
MYSELF COME ORBISCULATE.
DERRICK ROSE, ANOTHER PERSON.
YOU ARE RAISING MONEY FOR A
REALLY GOOD CAUSE.
>> Jonathan: YEAH, EXACTLY.
WHEN DAD PASSED AWAY, THEY'RE
ALL THESE THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO
WHEN SOMEONE PASSES AWAY.
YOU HAVE TO FIND A BURIAL PLOT,
CONTACT THE SOCIAL SECURITY
ADMINISTRATION, WRITE AN
OBITUARY, ALL THESE INTERESTING
THINGS, AND AT THE SAME TIME,
THE MOST DRAMATIC MOMENT OF YOUR
LIFE, SO IT'S INCREDIBLY HARD
THING TO TRY AND DO ALL THAT.
WE WERE REALLY LUCKY, WE HAD A
GREAT NETWORK OF FRIENDS AND
FAMILY WHO WERE ABLE TO HELP US
THROUGH THAT, BUT REALIZED
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
DON'T HAVE THAT, SO WE FOUND
THIS REALLY WONDERFUL
ORGANIZATION, AND THEY ARE BASED
IN TEXAS, A WONDERFUL PERSON WHO
LOST HIS KID AND STARTED THIS
ORGANIZATION, BASICALLY TO HELP
PEOPLE IN THE AFTERMATH OF
LOSING A LOVED ONE.
SO ANYTIME WE SELL AN
ORBISCULATE T-SHIRT OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
ANY MONEY GOES TO THAT.
>> Ellen: THAT'S FANTASTIC.
[APPLAUSE]
ALL RIGHT, WELL, ONE OF THE
THINGS ON YOUR LIST IS TO SEE
ORBISCULATE USED ON A WINDOW
BANNER OR A LAWN SIGN, AND I
DON'T HAVE THAT, BUT I DO HAVE A
BILLBOARD ON THE SIDE OF THE
BUILDING HERE AT THE
WARNER BROS. LOT, SO HERE'S WHAT
WE ARE DOING.

[APPLAUSE]
>> Jonathan: THAT'S FANTASTIC.
>> Ellen: THE ONLY THING WORSE
THAN MISSING "ELLEN" IS HAVING A
GRAPEFRUIT OR BISCUIT LATE IN
YOUR EYE.
YOU CAN CHECK THAT OFF YOUR LIST
RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK.
MORE WITH HILARY AND JONATHAN
AFTER THIS.

[APPLAUSE]
>> Ellen: ALL RIGHT, WE ARE
BACK WITH HILARY AND JONATHAN,
WHO ARE TRYING TO GET THE WORD
ORBISCULATE INTO THE DICTIONARY,
SO IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN,
EVERYONE NEEDS TO START USING
THE WORD IN EVERYDAY
CONVERSATION.
SO IF YOU ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW
AND AT SOME POINT, YOU HAVE A
CITRUS FRUIT THAT SQUIRTS INTO
YOUR EYE, MAKE SURE YOU SAY "OH,
MY GOD, IT WAS -- THE GRAPEFRUIT
ORBISCULATED" -- THAT IS THE
PROPER USE, RIGHT?
>> Hilary: ABSOLUTELY.
>> Ellen: EVERYONE HAS TO
START SAYING ORBISCULATE.
IN FACT, HERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE
WHO ARE ALREADY USING AT.
>> HI, HILARY AND JONATHAN, I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS, BUT
IN MY MOVIE "GIRLS TRIP"
SOMEBODY DID ORBISCULATE
GRAPEFRUIT INTO SOMEONE'S EYE.
>> HEY, ELLEN, IT IS JAKE TAPPER
AT CNN HEADQUARTERS, AS YOU CAN
TELL, STILL FAIRLY EMPTY, SORRY.
[LAUGHTER]
I HAD A GRAPEFRUIT FOR BREAKFAST
THIS MORNING AND I ORBISCULATED.
ANYWAY, HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL.
>> YEAH, THE PROBLEM WITH MAKING
YOURSELF A DRINK THAT HAS SOME
KIND OF, LIKE, TWIST OF LEMON IN
IT, IS THE RISK IS THAT THE
LEMON COULD ORBISCULATE.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU KNOW, INTO YOUR EYE.
AND THAT'S -- THAT ALWAYS CAUSES
YOU TO KIND OF DO THAT.
[LAUGHTER]
THIS IS LIKE A GOOD REACTION OF
ORBISCULATORBISCULATION.
>> AND SO, I PUT IT IN, AND THEN
I PUT SOME OF THIS, AND WE
FINISH WITH A LEMON, LIME, AND A
CITRUS.
[LAUGHTER]
REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE
ORBISCULATED BY ELLEN MIN
A LEMON. [LAUGHTER] ORBISCULATION OR NOT, THIS IS
GREAT.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
>> Hilary: WOW.
>> Ellen: I WOULD STATE IS
GOING TO CATCH ON, ORBISCULATED.
IT MAKES SENSE.
YOUR DAD WAS RIGHT.
ONE MORE THING.
I KNOW YOU ARE RAISING MONEY,
OUR FRIENDS AT SHUTTERFLY CARE
ABOUT SUPPORTING INCREDIBLE
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THAT.
WE SO THEY ARE GIVING CARSON'S
VILLAGE A CHECK FOR $5,000 IN
