• Checked out Streisand listings from Yahoo! search on Streisand.
• Looked over A Streisand Homage, Barbra Steisand Music Guide, and BJSweb.
• At 11pm on Sat. 1/30, decided to e-mail two of the web site owners directly with the following message:
  

  Subject: First two words of Funny Girl?
     As part of an Internet Challenge, I've been asked to
     find the first two words of Funny Girl.  Can you help?
     Thanks in advance.
  

• At 12:30pm Sun. 2/1 recieved the following note from the owner of BJSweb:
  

  At first I thought your subject line was a joke.
  Any Streisand fan worth his salt knows the opening line
  to FUNNY GIRL:        "Hello, Gorgeous!"
  (Barbra comments to her reflection in a mirror in the
  Ziegfield theatre.)
  

• Ans: Hello, gorgeous!

• Confirmed at 2pm by owner of Barbra Steisand Music Guide
  

  If you mean the first two words spoken in the film,
  they are "Hello, gorgeous."
  

• Many thanks to David Pimentel and Mark Iskowitz.
