Excuse me, I'm so sorry to bother you but I'm all turned around.
And I’m trying to get to the Pride parade.
Miriam? Miriam Pultro?
Do we know each other?
[V.Off] And the Award goes to... Miriam Pultro. [ extracts of Miriam Pultro's thank you speech ]
Yes. Ah, the Indie Series Awards? 2013? We danced on tables at the after party.
It’s so weird. I remember all that and I don’t remember you.
- Uh... we were both nominated for best actress, and you- - I won! Yes!
Oh my god, now I remember! I'm so sorry. Hum... I didn’t know you lived in Toronto.
- Are you going to Pride? - Oh, no, I’ve been banned.
Turns out they're lax about smoking weed, but not so much about selling a few buds to some 12 year olds.
Okay, humm ... I'm trying to get to Yon-gee Street ???
Why do you want to go to Yonge Street?
Humm, I had some friends who were here another year and they told me that was the main road.
[laugh] Oh, you’re confused. Your friends meant to tell you to go to Main Street.
- It’s east of here. - Oh okay! So what about Yonge Street? - Oh, Yonge, it doesn't exist anymore. It's gone.
- It's gone ? - Yup. Ripped up the street. Nothing but condos.
You just head to Danforth, that way. Turn left. You'll be there in about 20 minutes or so.
- Awesome. Great. Thank you so much. You know they say Canadians are super nice. - Yeah, yeah.
- Uh... Maybe we can collaborate on something... - Yeah, you know what? I will tweet you some time, alright? - Okay - See you later.
Happy Pride!

Good luck, Miriam Pultro! Have fun watching the rat parade and fearing for your purse.

I’m standing near the intersection of Main and Danforth,
[News title : Heroic rescue] where an incredible act of heroism has just taken place.
A tourist visiting for Pride weekend was walking down the street when she noticed a frightened cat stuck in a tree.
Well, as she climbed up the tree, she noticed, from her perched view, a car on the street careening towards a small child.
But she managed to place the cat gently on the ground, while simultaneously pushing the small child to safety.
Oh! What a miraculous event! And the hero of this story is joining us now... Miriam Pultro!
- Waow! Should I just call you Wonder Woman? - M: Oh Lord! - Kate : No!
Oh, how did you manage to save a small child and a cat the same time?
[Miriam Pultro. Tourist, saviour] You know, I... am an actress and I don’t have any training in saving lives
[Miriam Pultro. Winner of the 2013 ISA Award] but it was a crazy moment and it called for a lot of strength. And somehow I was able to do it.
Oh, okay! My producer's just telling me that hashtag #SaintMiriam is now trending.
How does it feel to be loved by the entire world?
I mean, I'm really grateful. But I would hope that, you know, anyone in the same situation would do the same thing.
Anyone you want to say hi to while you are on camera?
Yes. I do want to say "Happy Pride" to all my friends in New York. Uh... #LoveWins.
Hum... I also think it would be appropriate to thank the nameless stranger who gave me directions.
- Because without her... - What ??? - ... I wouldn't have been in the right place at the right time.
Waow, isn't she just perfection?
[echoed shout] MIRIAM PULTRO !!
