Wordplay (2006): Ending Scene

The clip ending scene from Wordplay (2006)

A day without the puzzle?
Well, it's not like insulin. I mean, I can live without it for a day.
Crossword puzzles are something that feed into a basic human need...
to figure things out.
It allows you to be open-minded and lets you think about...
other parts of the language that maybe you weren't necessarily thinkin' about.
The regularity of it the fact that it's always there for you
is very, very appealing.
I think it's much more about the words than it is about the music...
but, you know, words they connect us.
Language is it. This is the
the most powerful force, I believe, on Earth is the English language.
The ability to communicate clearly and forcefully
I think it's profoundly important.
I think that, um I don't know. They're fun.
I hope whoever succeeds me at the Times is someone who carries on the tradition...
of having crosswords that speak people's language...
and somebody who will use puzzles that are just jam-packed...
with interesting, lively, juicy, fun vocabulary...
and continues to innovate.
And at Stamford, I hope, when I'm 95, that someone will wheel me in in a wheelchair...
and I'll have drool coming down the side of my mouth...
and, um, I just hope the event is still goin' on and people are having a great time.
You know every word is made up ofletters
Made up ofletters made up ofletters
