On the occasion of the SAG-Awards 2006 Barbara Bain and Peter Graves
were
asked to present the nominees for the best ensemble in a dramatic series.
During
their presentation the teleprompter
decided it was a good opportunity for
a well-deserved break:
Off female voice:
Please
welcome from the classic television series Mission:Impossible:
Barbara Bain and
Peter Graves!
Applause.
With
Lalo Schifrin's music theme from Mission:Impossible
the actors walk on stage.

helps Graves with the stairs.
Bain: Yes, Sir!
Graves: What a kick to be here with you tonight.
Bain: It is, indeed! And to hear that music!
Graves: Hear that music!
Bain: Hm-hmm!
Graves (starts reading): Seattle Grace Hospital.
The teleprompter goes blank.
Short break.
Bain: Well that won’t work, will it, Peter!
Graves: Well that won’t work like that folks.
Bain: No, it won’t.
Graves (while taking out his notes): No.
Bain: Then I hope you have mine there, too!
Graves (reading from his
sheet of paper): So I must tell you about Seattle
Grace Hospital,
the Homicide Division of the LAPD, a mysterious island, a
family mortuary and our nation’s capital.
Bain (grabbing Graves' paper): Don’t put it away, darling...
...‘cause I need it, too!
The audience is audibly amused.
Bain: Those eclectic settings are homed to
some
of the most intriguing characters on prime time television.
And week after
week five inspired casts bring these characters vividly to life.
She returns
the sheet of paper to Graves: Thank you!!
Laughs from the audience.
