This is a gift to us by...

We consider it very good.

But we thought we'd stand here about that.

It is.

Whatever you said.

And they see what we have in that oval room, and it's white, and they're not lying to us.

And now, I would rest.

We have to be quick to get out of this zone.

You're on my right, please.

Before I take you to the bus.

I want to tell you, you know when I asked someone a while ago, and I met one of the most human girls that came to this country, and she opened her first book, and she was so thrilled about people like that who have come to this country, and here's her first book, and she said, she had to take me to her first book, and she said, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to be able to do it.

That's right.

You know, it isn't that John Brady is so enthusiastic.
