TRANSCRIPT/VIDEO PART FIVE: Three Hours With Warren Buffett - Live From Omaha

CARL QUINTANILLA, co-anchor (Beijing):

Warren, I know you've been a fan of the games. You've probably been watching somewhat. Is there an event that appeals to you the most? I mean, are you--do you want baseball to come back in a big way as an Olympic sport?

BUFFETT: I love it all, but it's hard to beat a race that's decided by 1/100th of a second, and...

QUINTANILLA: Yes.

BUFFETT: ...and actually, the 100 meter, even though it's over so fast, I mean, it--to watch a guy sort of breeze across there in a time like Bolt did it, it's an unbelievable event.

QUICK: Hey, Darren, we were watching the clips, Darren, we were watching the clips here, and Warren had something to say when we watched you in your Speedo diving into the pool. Warren, what did you give him?

BUFFETT: I gave him a 4.3.

QUICK: A 4.3.

BUFFETT: But I'm an easy grader.

QUICK: Guys...

DARREN ROVELL:  Well, I didn't try too hard. I didn't try too hard there.

QUINTANILLA: Yeah.

ROVELL: It was for effect.

QUINTANILLA: Becky...

BUFFETT: The degree of difficulty was minus one.

QUICK: OK.

QUINTANILLA: There you go. That's right. And that--touche. Give me one second, Bec, just to say one thing.

(Quintanilla thanks CNBC and NBC people on Olympics coverage, Becky and Warren thank Quintanilla and Rovell)
