CALLIE KHOURI:
Hi. Well, for everybody that wanted to see a happy ending for "Thelma & Louise," to me this is it. I have a lot of people I want to thank so I'll get started. Ridley, I couldn't thank you in forty-five years much less forty-five seconds so I won't try now. Geena and Susan, I think you've made the world a better place for those performances. I love you. I want to thank my husband who helped me so much in ways that I could never tell him, and it wasn't by being like "Darryl." He wasn't the model for any of the characters. In fact my brother was. I'm just kidding. I really want to thank my mother who taught me everything about love and loyalty that a gal could ever need to know. And all my friends and family, thank you. Thanks.
