## Transcript

It's a big deal, I'm not really processing it too well. I'm kind of dazed by it to be honest. It's sort of like winning the lottery or something incredibly lucky. [ MUSIC ] Not just an actor, not just a comedian, he said that his goal is to wake people up. Bill Murray is perhaps our greatest American. He just made it look very simple, like you should just do things that you like. He's one of the most wonderful partners to have in a scene because he's so present. [ MUSIC ] This right here, this is Chicago Cub blue. This is what we're really all about. I'm glad that they won last night so I could be here this evening.

It's nice to be here As much as I dreaded this. [ LAUGH ] I dreaded this, I really had to come back to this idea that there is love, there's love, that's what we came with and what we go with. [ APPLAUSE ] Thank you. [ APPLAUSE ] I love you, and I love you. And, let's try to repeat that to each other, okay? [ APPLAUSE ]
