Ok, so...
A patients guide to pain management after surgery.
What is pain?
Pain is an uncomfortable feeling.
Okay that was interesting.
Thank you, for providing that for me.
Ellens Voice: Tonight could change your life.
This is a very, ya know, everything is on the line for you.
[Music: Take a Breath]
And I still remember the first thing you said when you woke up.
What did I say?
Can you turn that...
Noooooo what did I say?
(crying) You said it feels right.
Ellens Voice: There are times you do not believe you will ever, ever, get up again.
And its a scary place, and its very dark.
So much of health and recovery is based on what you mentally project.
I projected perfect health
like a Victorias Secret supermodel.
Ya know, I am walking with the IV in my arm
I am pretending I am walking down the runway.
(laughs) no I am serious, I was.
But that was because before they put me under
I had made myself a promise that if I made it out ok
I would make sure I found out whether or not I belonged with Victorias Secret.
We are here in New York doing the castings to see who is gonna make
it into the Victorias Secret Fashion Show.
So the plan is to become the first ever
BIONIC Victorias Secret Angel.
That seemed like a ridiculous idea.
It seemed like who would ever, you know, how could that happen?
I told my parents I am going on an adventure and I am going to stay in hostels.
and uh, thats a total lie. (Laughs)
Really I am trying couch surfing, which I dont even know what that is.
This guy I met on the internet is going to let me sleep on his couch for free.
That sounds really safe.
Ummmm and I am doing that so I can attend some open casting
for a couple of the modeling agencies that feed Victorias Secret.
So I am going to get an honest opinion.
But if I dont come back alive, that would probably be why.
Alright, this is Anthonys place.
This is the floor where I was sleeping on the air mattress which is folded up.
That is the cage that I get kept in.
[Music] I Have a Dream
Off screen: So what happened?
And I went back and forth trying to decide should I talk about it? Should I not talk about it?
I was too old to model.
Well to start modeling, but like I couldnt before, and oh my god I am ageing.
Ellens Voice: So you know how I always talk about putting something out there in the Universe and it comes back.
This year we are looking for an undiscovered jem.
[Victory Music]
[Alarm Bell]
This is ridiculous, Im serious
Cause I think we are lucky to live in a time that we can reach out globally.
[Camera Click]

None of the Angels are Canadian, and there has only ever been one
and that was 10 years ago.
Casting Director: It is a very difficult casting, its not just about having a perfect body
and looking amazing, but they also have to have great personalities.
Ellen: And I really trust that when you have an intention and you put it out there it happens.
You have to be active, you cant just think it.
[Rewind] You have to be active, you cant just think it.
[Music] When love takes over...
(Sarcastic) It makes total sense to me that I really should get some experience modeling underwear.
Since that is what I am trying to do.
So what I did was I went and I got some underwear.
(Both laugh)
I dont know if you know this but you made underwear with your name on them.
Yea I do know it, and I may start doing it, I like it.
Yeah.
I created this front piece, and it symbolizes what my body is made out of
which is titanium.
(Gasp) Look at the light coming...
I know isnt it beautiful.
[Music: To make it through the night, love will find you]
[what about now, what about today]
[what if you are makin me, all that I was meant to be]
There is only one place to go after that, and that is world domination.
Use the show to unite people from all over the world.
And Ill be honest I dont know how this is going to work, I have no idea. 83 00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 [Strong Beat]
Oh my god, here we go.
[Music: Just maybe Im crazy...]
[Go, go, go wild dancers]
We are in so much trouble.
Canada WOOOOOOOO!!!
EEEEE, give me and L
LLLLLLLLLLL
give me and L
LLLLLLLLLLL
give me and E
EEEEEEEEEEE

NNNNNNNNNN
Who knows how to spell?
ELLEN!!!!
[Music: Dance forever, come on be mine]
[Dance together, till the end of time.]
[Dance together, go go go wild dancers]
[Im wild dancing]
All right, here goes nothing. I have no idea if they know, if they are going to accept this.
We always hope that there is a surprise
There usually is.
Yup there almost always is, and there is almost always somebody who steals the show
even with 30 of the most beautiful girls in the world.
[Music: What about now?]
