[sighs.]
Okay.
Okay.
Do you want to keep your same appointment time for next week? Actually, would it be possible for me to come back first thing on Monday? I'm sorry, I'm all booked up for Monday.

Who are the judges this time, huh? Some ones.
I don't care for that backup dancer.
- Oh, who you like? - The girl from that group - and the football player.

[curtain rustles.]
Hi.
[high-pitched humming.]
[voices whispering.]
[heartbeat thumping.]
[noises stop.]
And I know daggers have been at your throats.
To the ones who were never told that they are worthy of every good and perfect thing 'cause you didn't pray to the God you grew up with or fall in love with the boy you were supposed to, or in my case, any boy at all.
[laughter.]
All of you with your faith that all of this has been a rehearsal, some strange experiment in suffering.
Listen.
You are not charity cases.
- No.
- Not victims.
Yeah.
Not history's bad-luck accidents.
So, to the trying ones, the deliberate ones, the holding-on ones, just praise.
- Yes.
- Praise your body in the way you woke up this morning.
Praise the miracle and the mess.
Yes.
Yes.

- Amen.
Praise the journey.
Praise the fight.
Praise the wherewithal.
Amen.
Praise the riding of wind without asking permission.
Yeah.
[camera clicks.]
Praise that there is so much of you left, and praise the otherworldly algorithm that is your heart.
Yeah.
Especially that.
Revolution is the sound of your heart still beating.
So, praise.
- Amen.
- Amen.
