00:13What does it take to become a Peace Laureate?
00:26I said, oh, no, no, no, that's very simple, man.
00:29Very simple.
00:30It takes three things.
00:33You must have an easy name.
00:39Tutu, Tutu, Tutu.
00:41And you must have a large nose.
00:44And because we're in Bali, it was very warm,
00:48and I was wearing shorts.
00:49And I said, the third thing that you need
00:52is a pair of sexy legs.
00:55And, well, what was I saying?
00:59Nobel Laureates don't fall,

02:36A world, hey, there's no longer any poverty.
02:43There's no longer any hunger.
02:45There's no longer any war.
