KIRK BAXTER:
Hug it up.

ANGUS WALL:
First things first [they hug]. We want to thank everybody that Aaron thanked, first and foremost. And a special thank you to David, who... it's indescribable working with you and thank you for starting my career twenty-odd years ago. Also, big thank you to our wives who allow us to have incredibly passionate love affairs with our families and our work.

KIRK BAXTER:
To my daughter Bronte, find something you truly love doing and great things can happen. The hard part is you got to meet someone like Fincher. Cheers.

ANGUS WALL:
And thanks very much to the Academy.
