ROBERT RICHARDSON:
Well, I get two there. I'd like to say thank you very much. This evening for me is dedicated to my mother who has spent the last forty-five days in the hospital. And I'd like to say thank you to all the nurses and the doctors that have taken care of her, as well as her friends. I love you, Mom. Thank you.
