Hello?
Hello?
Well, I know you had a very close fight, but I just wanted to be sure that we could congratulate you.
And may you win all your elections from the same amount.
I know it would be my big problem if you were here, and we'll just carry on.
We'll be glad to see you and welcome you here.
She's just fine, just fine.
We figured you were winners, so we didn't bother you beforehand.
Now, you have to let me see here.
You have to let me in the room, won't you?
That'd be the following.
That's right.
That's right.
Just like everybody else.
Well, I think you wiped everybody out this time.
You went by 80% or not.
Good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, we wish you the best.
Give our best to a little more wonderful young people.
Remember so well.
Okay, goodbye.
