Inspiration
William Faulkner
The speech is below, in case his accent is too thick for you to understand, like the attendees at the Nobel Banquet in 1950.

The Waitress
Seated there, somewhere, on a corner expecting good things to happen. I followed her for a lifetime. I saw her first steps, knew her first thoughts, saw her dancing for the first time, I was here when she first fell in love, I saw her crying for the first time, was here when she discovered anger, I saw her experiencing fear for the first time, I knew her first wish, and I knew what she dreamed about every millisecond of her life. I knew her. She waited for bad things to change into good for herself. She desperately waited for hope, for things to happen, while she sat there thinking about the things she could do to make life easier for herself and others. She waited and waited.
