We'd have a chance to contribute to society. We'd have a chance to develop and grow as professionals. We'd have a chance to work with the best and the brightest in the world. We have a chance to prosper personally. We've been given an enormous opportunity. And Bill gave us that opportunity. [Crying] I wanna thank Bill for that and I want you too. ^M00:01:30 [ Applause ] ^M00:01:39 [ Music ]
