- What?

- Period. End of story.

- Put the money in the bag, carrot.

You don't know me, man.

Come here.

It's you.

I'm so proud of you.

Giving away

all of your money?

Come on.

Mama is watching us

from heaven right now.

What would she do?

It's for starving

children, Duane.

Do it for Mom.

Excuse me,

ladies and gentlemen.

I'd like to introduce

the real star of tonight's show.

None of us would be here tonight

if it wasn't for this man.

He is the man with the plan,

Mr. Donald Sinclair.

What?

One of the wealthiest

men in the world!

- Mr. Donald Sinclair!

- You are the man.

Get a camera on him. There you go.

Nice shot. There he is.

These men, they didn't

have to be here tonight.

No, they could be off

kicking back in the Riviera...

or in Vegas blowing their money

on some meaningless idiotic bet.

They couldn't do that...

not when there were children

going to bed hungry every night.

Isn't that right, fellas?

Whatever.

Mr. Donald Sinclair

and his partners...

want you and the millions

of people watching at home...

to know they plan to match

whatever you raise tonight...

dollar for dollar!

- Dollar for dollar!

- Dollar for dollar!

A matching fund, everybody!

Let's hit the phones

out there and crank it up...

because we're gonna feed

the whole world tonight!

Somebody once told me

The world is gonna roll me

I ain't the sharpest

toolin the shed

And she was lookin'

kind of dumb

With a finger and a thumb

In the shape of an "L"

on her forehead

Well, the years start comin'

and they don't stop comin'

Fed to the rules and

I hit the ground runnin'

Didn't make sense

not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart

but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see

So what's wrong with

takin' the backstreets

You'll never know if you don't go

You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey, now, you're an all-star

Get your game on, go play

Hey, now, you're a rock star

Get the show on, get paid

All that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars

break the mold

It's a cool place and

they say it gets colder

You're bundled up now

Wait till you get older

But the meteor men

beg to differ

Judgin' by the hole

in the satellite picture

The ice we skate

is gettin' pretty thin

The water's gettin' warm

so you might as well swim

My world's on fire

How about yours

That's the way I like it

and I'll never get bored

Hey, now, you're an all-star

Get your game on, go play

Hey, now, you're a rock star

Get the show on, get paid

All that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars

break the mold

Go to the moon

Go to the moon

Go to the moon

Oh, yeah, go to the moon

Hey, now, you're an all-star

Get your game on, go play

Hey, now, you're a rock star

Get the show on, get paid

All that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars

Somebody once asked could

I spare some change for gas

I need to get myself

away from this place

I said yep, what a concept

I could use

a little fuel myself

And we all could use

a little change

Well, the years start comin'

and they don't stop comin'

Fed to the rules and

I hit the ground runnin'

Didn't make sense

not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart

but your head gets dumb

So much to do

So much to see

So what's wrong with

takin' the backstreets

You'll never know

if you don't go

You'll never shine

if you don't glow

Hey, now, you're an all-star

Get your game on, go play

Hey, now, you're a rock star

Get the show on, get paid

All that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars

break the mold

All that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars

break the mold
