TRANSCRIPT
♪♪ ♪♪ When they started working together, they discovered a great rapport and Margot realized that she could learn from him and he could learn from her.
So there was a sort of symbiotic thing they had going.
♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ What most inspires me about this couple is the importance of partnership.
I always find that it's muc more important than the solos.
It's the partnership.
That's what makes the story.
