FAITH LAPIDUS: Brian knows a thing or two about the power of the human spirit.
BRIAN: "Even though I'm blind I love to go see movies. Some theaters have these transmitters that you can check out at the front desk where you buy your tickets, and there is an audio track that provides description for the movies.
"As you watch the film you get in your ear a description of 'He is now hitting somebody with a stick,' or whatever the case may be. But most movies don't have that. But I still enjoy it. You can get a lot out of a movie just from the dialog. And then if you have a good friend like Stephanie, sometimes they'll describe things for you if you're very nice. If you buy them popcorn, they'll describe things for you."
REPORTER: "You whisper the description?"
STEPHANIE: "Yes, I do. I do whisper the description to him sometimes, though you can see people around don't understand and they're watching us like 'What the ... ?'"
BRIAN: "'Tell that woman to shut up!' [Laughter]"
STEPHANIE: "I'm always afraid I'll be yelled at."
