Transcript
00:00 I might actually get Z up for this one.
00:02 And another play that'll be making her debut tomorrow
00:05 is "Ooah!" from "The Voodoo."
00:07 (audience cheers)
00:10 Yeah, we all know how special this girl is.
00:13 She has been at it for a long time,
00:16 and I know when I brought her into the office
00:19 to speak about the opportunity that she'd get
00:21 to come into the 24,
00:22 she, yeah, she got real emotional about it
00:26 and never thought the day would come.
00:27 And I guess now you probably didn't think
00:32 this day would come,
00:32 or that you'd have to be running on the field tomorrow
00:34 with a lot of the girls that you aspire to play with.
00:37 And I'm really excited to see you ripping tomorrow
00:40 open with your teammates.
00:41 And unfortunately, we've got your family here as well,
00:46 so we might be able to--
00:47 (audience laughs)
00:49 (audience cheers)
00:52 (audience laughs)
01:05 (audience laughs)
01:08 (audience groans)
01:10 (audience laughs)
01:25 (audience laughs)
01:32 (audience murmurs)
01:35 We might just get someone to have a quick snack.
01:53 (audience laughs)
02:00 (audience laughs)
02:03 As you can tell already, I'm not a man of many spaces,
02:05 but I'd like to be with you all,
02:09 and I'm very, very proud of you,
02:12 like I just said to you before,
02:13 Dad would be so proud of you.
02:15 Probably couldn't wipe a smile off his face
02:17 for years and years to come,
02:19 but unfortunately he's not with us here,
02:21 but I'm so proud of you,
02:23 and I keep picking your goals and your dreams.
02:26 And the best I can ask of you
02:28 is just to do your job out there.
02:30 And I know these girls will look after you
02:31 and they will look after you, so just go ahead.
02:34 Thank you.
02:35 (audience applauds)
02:38 - Yeah, look, dreams do come true.
02:47 And I know I had that conversation with Mother,
02:49 you never thought this opportunity would come,
02:52 but the sacrifices that this family has made
02:56 to get to this country,
02:57 and to get this young girl where she is today,
03:00 it's a credit to you guys,
03:01 and you've done a really good job,
03:03 and I'm proud when she runs out tomorrow,
03:05 'cause I know she's gonna do really, really well.
03:07 So I really appreciate you coming up tonight,
03:10 and I can't wait for you to rip in tomorrow.
03:12 You all deserve it.
03:13 (audience applauds)
03:16 (applause)
03:19 (clattering)
