Toy Story 5 FULL Q&A with Taylor Swift & Andrew Stanton — Moderated by Jessica Shaw

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Hi everyone, I'm Jessica Shaw. I am thrilled to get to talk about this movie. Have you all stopped crying yet? Let's start by bringing out two people responsible for many of my tears. Let's start with the writer-director of Toy Story 5, Andrew Stanton. And the singer-writer of the song, I Knew It, I Knew You, Taylor Swift. [00:00:52] Taylor Swift: Thank you so much for being here, you guys. This is wonderful of you to just rise from the candy hangover. Bringing children, getting them out of school for the day. We'll try to make it as educational as possible. [00:01:05] Speaker 1: I want to start by thanking both of you for not running the marathon today so that we could be here. We were gonna, but... Let's do this instead. This song, this movie, it's such a perfect pairing. So, Andrew, I want to start with you and ask you, what was it that made you think of this up-and-comer sitting next to you? [00:01:29] Andrew Stanton: What did you think of this song? What did you think of this song? Well, I always knew the film would be about Jesse, even though I may not have shared that knowledge with Disney and everybody else, but that was always in my mind and heart. And it was a half second that I thought, wouldn't it be great if Taylor Swift could sing the song, but I knew that was probably the loftiest wish in the world and so always ready myself for being let down and moving on. And, uh, and here we are. So it's, it's, it's crazy. It's crazy. [00:02:05] Speaker 1: And Taylor, you were, when this idea first came up, you were like on the Erin's tour, right? And maybe a little busy doing something. Yeah. So when you heard this, what went through your mind? [00:02:19] Taylor Swift: Yeah. So I was on a tour that was, um, a lot of things, but it was, it was pretty physically exhausting. Um, and it was a three and a half hour show. It was, it was one of those tours. I've actually never experienced this level of exhaustion in between shows where it's like, you know, I was like in bed all the days that I wasn't, uh, playing a show, just trying to rest up in the next week of the shows. So my brother contacts me, you know, calls me up and is like, Hey, sometimes we talk like siblings. And then sometimes we have business conversations that are like half sibling, half business. half business. My brother does all of my music syncs and, and, um, all of my music and film stuff. Calls me up and he's like, Hey, um, I really think you need to see the new Toy Story 5. It's, it's, I just, he's like, I went to Pixar, I saw sketches. I need, I, I, you're going to need to, to see this film. You're going to love it. And I was like, Ooh, why? He's like, I signed an NDA. Um, so it went on like that for a while, but he's like, no, I'm serious. You're going to love this one. I promise you. I promise. And I was like, okay, well, I just tried to get out of bed and felt every bone in my foot crunch. So let's, is there, is there any leeway that I can have a little time to like, not be on this store anymore and then I can go see it. He's like, absolutely. They're in, they're in the earliest phases of this. So he's like, here's the thing. I'm going to keep bringing this back to you and pestering you about it because I know you're going to love it. You know, I can't tell you why. And, um, so he did, he kept coming back and be like, what about we go see Toy Story this next weekend? And finally it ended up being the right time where I had the bandwidth to absorb and to have any kind of creative output. And when I saw this brilliant film that Andrew made, I realized exactly why he knew I would love it because it's, it's Jesse's. It's centered around Jesse, who's my favorite character. And it deals with female friendship. Um, and I just saw so many ways in which my life echoed what Bonnie was going through. I could relate to the revelations that Jesse was experiencing. It's crazy how I could kind of see a way into all the characters in a way. And it was like a, it was like struck by lightning moment of like, I have to go home, get to my piano and write this song because they know exactly what I would want to say if I had, you know, the privilege of writing for this. [00:05:03] Andrew Stanton: Can I tell it now from my perspective because you saw it that morning with your brother and just Tom and Google who runs the Disney music. And that was at 10 o'clock. And then at noon, my FaceTime rings and it's from Tom, but it's you guys, you and Austin and you're still in your seats and you're gushing about the movie. And we're like, Oh my gosh. And you said you want to do the song. Like there wasn't even like, like a debate about this or discussion. It was just, you want to do something like great, great, great. And we almost got off so that you couldn't change your mind. And then I go home that night. It's at five, six o'clock and Tom calls me, the head of music and says, she wrote the song. I'm like, what? And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. She, she found it or she had it already. She relabeled it. And he's like, no, she's in the studio and she's written the song and I'm driving right now to hear it. And then he goes, I'll, I'll get back to you. And then another four or five hours goes by and I'm, uh, I go to bed early. So, cause I get up so early and so I'm, I'm trying to stay up. It's nine o'clock and my FaceTime rings. And it's Bob Miter standing next to Taylor going, the song's amazing, Andrew. And I'm like, what is going on? What is my life right now? And then you got on the phone and I was like, you were a beast. Did you really write it? Like, like, like, and it took me a while to get down and hear it. Uh, like, for you, it was a long time. It was like four days and then I flew down to LA and I haven't told you this. Uh, you, I think you were sitting behind me, but I had choked up when I heard it. And the only other time I've heard a song that just dropped from thin air and was perfect was when Randy Newman came in and played. You got a friend of me on the piano with six of us and it was profound. And so I was like moved on several levels. One, it was like Jesse personified everything you wanted to feel. It was, it was yearning required. It was nostalgia revived. It was childhood, uh, conjured back up. It was, uh, restored and, uh, but it was also the buck passing on the same way that Jesse should for, we should start moving on to other characters and broaden the world of Toy Story. And it was happening musically with, uh, Taylor's song and the feeling of the song. And it was, it was just overwhelming. So yeah, I never had to tell you that. [00:07:57] Speaker 1: There is a wonderful, um, legacy of great artists writing songs in a day. I think of Dolly Parton writing Jolene and I will always love you in one day. So you're in good company. Tell, I mean, tell us about that experience. I know Taylor, you said you had the songwriters zoomies where you just knew, so was there a moment when you were watching the film that your brain started like, okay, I know how to tell this story musically. [00:08:34] Taylor Swift: There were several moments in the film, but what I kept arriving at is, is the importance of the importance of people's impact on your life, even if it has, um, waxed and waned and gone in and out of your life and of your, of your periphery and, and your focus. And even if it's edged and flowed, if someone meant something to you, then there's a good chance they always can. And that it could always kind of come back around, whether that's in a revelation or whether that's, you know, Woody coming back to help the gang. And so it's like, you know, I, I kind of loved the idea of, um, toying with both literal and allegory and having one line say, mean the same thing. Um, for me, both things. Right. So you've got like, I knew you through the days of the blades of the grass in summer. So allegorically that applies to youth and childhood and we're playing outside in the grass and those memories we make with somebody that we know in that childhood phase of our life. That's a, that's a spirit connection that, that you never forget. Right. But it's literal in the sense of Toy Story 5 in that they're toys. They're tiny. When they're standing on the ground, they're looking at their kid through the blades of grass. Um, so you move on to like, you know, parachutes for the free fall of being younger. In terms of childhood, that means, you know, you were there to soften the blow of all those hard lessons that we have to learn as kids. You were there for me in those moments, but I also was thinking of the toy parachute army guys in Toy Story, you know? And so it's like, I kind of went, went at it from this perspective of, I want it to apply to all the characters, but overall I want it to apply to Jesse and Emily and the feeling that she arrives at, which is this really incredible feeling of mature, resolute clarity that all that doubt she felt throughout the whole film. Am I no good at being a toy? Am I no good at being a toy? Am I pointless? Am I, is it hopeless and useless to try things we all go through in our lives? She realizes that even if, you know, you were there for someone in a phase of their life, if you meant something to them, then there's, that's powerful. And that, you know, I think parents go through this when they're, when their kid goes through a different phase of life and is wanting freedom and independence. And you have to learn how to say these little goodbyes, but you have to also learn how to value what was. And I think that's what really, really hit me. [00:11:24] Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit about what the process was? Are you like, do you like a notebook that you write in? Or are you like, okay, I, your lines coming up into your head and you're just like typing them in or you're, yeah, with Jack or, it's more of that. [00:11:40] Taylor Swift: So I, I basically, I get home, I have all these lines that I'm, I'm thinking of and, and sort of a chorus melody that's in my head. Um, that ended up being the chorus, but I, I really wanted to work with, um, one of my best friends, Jack Antonoff. Um, so he is a toy story kid as well, and also a huge, um, Randy Newman fan, like a, like freak fan. Like we love Randy Newman. And I really felt like the, those kinds of loves that we share both musically and from, and loving and respecting the cinematic universe. He would know what I was trying to go for in terms of like, Hey, I want to reach for courts that are really different than what I would ever do, but might land in the world of possibly something Randy Newman might do. Cause I really don't want us to, I really don't want us to try to, um, do something that's, that's incongruous with this beautiful tapestry that Randy's been weaving, um, for all these years. And so it's like, you know, like progressions, like life has ways of leaving all space behind. I wouldn't go there ever. Like I would never like go, go to that, that, that, that note. That's a little out of my wheelhouse, but like Jack and I knew how to kind of stretch what we would normally do in reverence to our fandom, to the maestro who created this whole thing that we, you know, he like built this beautiful pool. We get to splash in. So we're just sort of, we ended up writing it so quick and we're both so proud of it. Yeah, we should be. [00:13:32] Speaker 1: Um, and Taylor said something a minute ago, and it actually applies to both the film and the song. Taylor said that she could connect to different things and related to it. And I think every person who sees the movie has their own personal connection in some ways. I feel like we all feel our own way about, about Jesse and about the story and about the tenderness of this story. So what was it, I mean, I know you said you, this was like, it had to be about Jesse. Yeah. But what was it exactly for you? Because this film has been with you for years now. [00:14:13] Andrew Stanton: Um, there's always been close to a decade between the movies, except for between one and two. And it gives you a lot of time to ruminate, think about where they've gone, what's going on. What's going on, what's going on. But the biggest thing is your life changes and your perspectives change. And, uh, by the time, uh, when I worked on Toy Story, Toy Story 2, I was a new parent. And by the time I was working on Toy Story 5, I was a grandparent for Bubby. And, uh, so that's how old I am and how long I am. But that's also how we keep finding fresh perspectives, not only to make it and to, uh, find something honest to express that doesn't feel retread. But your lives have changed too. And hopefully you've changed perspective as well when you're watching it. And I just knew that Jesse held a lot of deep, unaddressed stuff that what he used to, but what he's kind of deserves a break. He's been through a lot, he's been solved to a certain degree. But not Jesse. And we have just skipped over the richest part that I've always felt we needed to go to at any time was a girl's room. And a girl's relationship. Because I didn't find anything exclusive about that at all. Uh, I was telling you backstage that like, uh, you know, the, the, the power of connection of, of another friend being made. Uh, or missing that chance of connecting with that person that really sees you for who you are. Is probably the highest stakes thing we've ever had in the Toy Story movie. And I love that that was on Jesse's watch because she was somebody that already had abandonment issues and doubted her ability to hold the child. And so that's rich stuff to just start with. And I had this rare thing. Everybody's been on this journey with them. I didn't have to tell a big back story. I didn't have to spend 15 minutes in a story telling and a movie trying to tell you that once was this toy that I could just remind you of the tree. And everybody had been along the ride for however long they've been on this planet. And could just carry a lot of emotional extra investment that you don't usually get on a movie. You sometimes get it on a TV series or something like that. Um, so yeah, that, that, that was, I just, I didn't know where I was going to go. I didn't know she was going to be the, the battler of technology, but I knew that it was time to be with her and it was, and she would run a room differently and she would deal with the world differently. [00:16:52] Speaker 1: And you also knew what it was like to find your person you connect to. [00:16:57] Andrew Stanton: Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, that was, that was the thing I actually had to tell me backstage. It's like, I, the friend, the friendship thing, like the more I think about what happened at the end of this movie, the more I realized it's like the greatest gift you can ever happen to you in your life. She, you know, I grew up on the street with only about six kids and when it was time to play, you just did whatever everybody wanted to do. And if I was lucky, we were playing tag. Most of the time it was the throw ball and kick the ball. And I really didn't want to, but I had to do nothing. And then these two girls moved next door, these sisters, and they invited my GI Joe over to get a haircut at a party somewhere. And I was like, yes, I found my tribe. And I, I'm still friends with them. I've grown up with them. They're like my sisters. And, you know, and one of them is my best friend with my wife and, uh, and they, and I don't have to hide. Like we know exactly how we're wired up. We see each other for all the weird quirks. And you realize that safety of being seen for who you really, really are down to the nuancel stuff is rare. Some people never get it, but to get it and what's worse, sometimes it's snuffed out. And so you realize that's, that was the stakes of this movie. And so it couldn't have been greater or more profound of a win. I think. Yeah. [00:18:22] Speaker 1: Taylor, you said that Jesse, I mean, yes. You said that Jesse was your, your favorite. Do you remember? I mean, you posted just about the cutest video of, of little baby Taylor with her shirt with her cowgirl boots and everything. Um, when the film came out, but what was it about her that you remember? I mean, what do you remember about seeing the movies when you were younger? [00:18:49] Taylor Swift: Well, I think, um, I'd love to sort of pile onto what Andrew was saying about finding someone who's the same, um, genre of weird and silly as you are. And what just why Bonnie and blazes, um, story resonated with me so much. I, um, you know, I moved to Nashville when I was 14, you know, you're the new kid in school. You're like, who, who should I be friends with? These girls are cool. These girls are cool. These are nice girls. But there was one girl, um, named Abigail. And she even has curly hair too, like blaze. And the two of us, all we wanted to do was talk in Napoleon Dynamite voices. And we still do this. And like, it's something our husbands have to put up with. [00:19:38] Speaker 1: So I was just like, what are you doing today? I don't know. What are you doing? Are you playing with your cute kid? [00:19:45] Taylor Swift: Yeah, I am. What's the problem with that? And so it's like, you know, when you find, when you find that person who just completely sees you for the strange little genre that is you at your purest. Um, that's, that, that hit me so hard watching the film. But going back to, um, your question about my first impressions of Toy Story. I was, I was, you know, five when these films started to come out and just delight all of us and make us laugh and make us think and make us think that our toys had personalities. Um, and so I really, really grew up with them and, and I think they informed so much of every kid who watches the toy story films. It informs, you know, so much of their sense of what comedy is and, and what, um, friendship is and what bravery is. And, and, um, there's so much in each one of these films when Jesse arrived on the scene in the second film, you know, I never thought about like, oh, like where's, you know, I never, I never knew I was missing her until she showed up. And I was like, oh, her, you know, because I love Toy Story so much. And I related so much to Andy, you know, um, and, and just the characters in Toy Story one with Andy and Sid and just all that. You never think about like, oh, she hasn't arrived yet. But then when Jesse did arrive, I was like, this girl is so cool. And so herself and so unapologetically enthusiastic. And sometimes she's too much for people. And it's like, I think that so many people saw themselves in Jesse's utter fearlessness. And that's, I think for me what it was. [00:21:30] Speaker 1: Yeah. And also her, her vulnerability, which is, there's no cynicism to her, Andrew. There's, there's, there's the purity that makes it. It's sometimes like it pierces your heart to watch her, but it's, it's ultimately so affirming. [00:21:47] Andrew Stanton: Yeah, Jesse's fight or fight. And that's what makes her great. I mean, she's different than Woody, you know, and, uh, uh, you know, I, just to go back. There's, there's a, I always have a premise when I'm finding or I'm searching for what the simple sentence is about the movie. And what I landed on was our limited time with others can last a lifetime. And it's, it's crazy that you picked up on that within your own way, because that was literally going to end up on my board for years. And, uh, and I'd gotten time to watch the movie and get real meta about it. Cause it was things we were trying to say within the movie, within the friendship, within Jesse and her owner and her new owner and the toys relationships themselves. But then I sit there and I go, wow, the limited time that this four-year-old in Yucaipa, California had that Toy Story 2 that would go on to grow up and help me write this movie. And this 10 year old who saw it, and this 10 year old who saw it, and Toy Story 2 would help me land the plane with the most apt, emotional song about her closure. Uh, that took a lifetime, uh, for this limited time exposure. And it's, and it's, and I realized, oh, this, this song didn't come out in a day. It came out in a lifetime because it's like it had to age that much from you seeing it to be able to come out and burst like that. I feel it's like fine lines, like, and, uh, and, uh, cause there's no way I could have found this movie and, and sealed it up the way it has without. Tyler's involvement and Ken is involved in a team of other people who grew up with the film. It's not something that could have been born from just me, old fuddy-duddy me. [00:23:47] Speaker 1: I'm curious for each of you if there is a specific line in the song or in the film or a shot that is your, like, ah, I love this. I love, this is the moment that, like, I nailed it. I nailed it. Pat yourselves on the back. Go ahead. [00:24:09] Taylor Swift: Um, I, I was just, I, I think I immediately didn't understand the context of the question. And then I just started thinking about all of the ponies and horses running up the hill, which I had nothing to do with. So that's the Andrew, Kenna thing. And I just think that when that is happening, it's, it's, you know, that is, for me, that is like a fist in the air. Something you didn't know you wanted. Crying, laughing. You always wanted. I always wanted. I didn't know I needed it. Yeah, exactly. It's so important for us to be riding that, the unicorn. [00:24:44] Andrew Stanton: For me, it's this really small touch that we added that just sealed it for me with, it's, it's after she's opened, Jessie's opened the lunchbox, and she's discovered, you know, the naming of Emily's child at her, and then she just looks at Bullseye and just barely says, really? Like, like, I need somebody, I need witness to say, is this really happening? And to me, that's, yeah, that's, that's the deepest part of the movie for me. [00:25:15] Taylor Swift: I would, I would agree that that's way up there. There's so many deep parts of that film. And obviously, I think what we all go to is when, is when, you know, Jessie realizes that she matters so much to Emily all along, and that Emily has now gone on. We kind of realize the passage of time, right? Like, when we realize that Emily has her own family now, and she has honored Jessie in this way. I think that, you know, when I heard the song, you know, When Somebody Loved Me, that was the most devastated I remember feeling by a song at that point in my life. So there is a reference in the song I knew that I knew you to that moment in Toy Story films where it says, I watched you drive around the bend for what I thought would be the last time I saw my friend. And so that's that scene where we see, you know, through the donation box hole, we see that Emily's car is driving away and, and that is the ultimate, you know, heartbreak origin story for why Jessie feels that maybe she's just not good at this, or that it might, in those, in those sad moments in her mind where she has these intrusive thoughts of, is this all just pointless? Um, that's where it comes from. So I wanted to reference that in the song that resulted for her. [00:26:40] Speaker 1: Go ahead. [00:26:41] Taylor Swift: No, and you did. [00:26:42] Speaker 1: Uh, Taylor, can you talk about the 14 instruments on this song, some of which I'd literally never heard of? Um, was, is there one in particular that jumps out at you of, I don't know, that kind of captures something about, about what you were hoping to do with the song? [00:27:01] Taylor Swift: Yes. Um, I think that my main priority here was harmonica. It was my big priority. I was like, we have to give this to her. We have to go back to Woody's roundup. We have to, you know, a harmonica, a lonesome harmonica can really convey sadness and also anticipation and coziness. There's so many things that you can hear in just one instrument. And so that's why from the very beginning of that song, harmonica. And so that, that, that was one thing that I wanted to do to bring it into Jesse's world. And also kind of, it's a lot of things for me. It's, it's, it's returning back to the country roots that began my career and kind of sounds that I haven't toyed with in a very long time. So there's a lot of sort of reunioning that's happening in, in this song, both sonically, lyrically. And the fact that like, I'm, you know, I get to go back to the CMAs now. Uh, because of this song, which is fantastic. I haven't been in there in over a decade and just like, it's crazy. [00:28:04] Speaker 1: How do you Andrew feel like this fits in? I mean, Taylor, you spoke about it a little bit about Randy Newman's kind of Sonic universe, and it just, it works so perfectly with the score. Um, so can you talk about that connection a little bit? [00:28:19] Andrew Stanton: It's a, it's the same way as the subject matter is broadening. I always hoped once I knew that we were, these movies were going to keep going, uh, not every world is meant to do that. But there's something about because the toys grow up, the kids grow up and, and we changed that you just, and the margins always felt much wider than the movie itself. So, uh, I just felt like we were earning the right to change the tone for just who the movie was about. And so I knew from them, it can't, it just nothing against Randy just can't be the same way we've done it anymore. It's got to evolve. It's got to, and it's got to feel somewhat reflective about whatever this new flavor or color or shading that we're doing with Jesse. It needs, it needs another aspect to it, another evolutionary step or, or a branching off or a broadening, however you want to look at it. And, and I have greater hopes that it can, it could go, it could be about Rex and who knows what that music would be. But, but, but for now it's Jesse and, and it, um, and it just made sense. Just Taylor's, Taylor's music craft and sound and, and, and the evolution of all the eras you've been through, let alone the eras that Toy Story movies have been through. It just, it just felt like they would align. [00:29:45] Speaker 1: I just want to say the fact that you use the word eras is like, I love it. I love it. [00:29:53] Taylor Swift: I love it. I love it so much. Yeah. You gotta have fun. You know, Andrew actually ended up coming to, uh, one of my shows in 2009 on the fearless tour, but he's been very, you know, the fact that the fact that you kind of like had me in, in your mind for this. I'm very honored by, especially because you do know where my music started with where it is now. And, and I just really appreciate being thought of. [00:30:18] Andrew Stanton: Uh, I, uh, I'll be thanking you for the rest of my life. Thank you. [00:30:24] Speaker 1: Andrew, I heard that it was kind of Taylor or no closing song. Is that true? [00:30:29] Andrew Stanton: I didn't make an ultimatum, but I was like, I, I didn't, I was at a loss. And I, and so I think that's why we usually need to have something tied down and written in place when we're in the same calendar year as the release of the movie. But I think we just, nothing made sense. Nothing made sense. And I had already written out that this was going to happen. So it wasn't hanging out for Taylor as a monster's like, what, what else? That just didn't, that just nothing else made sense. [00:30:59] Speaker 1: How nervous were you when Taylor was in that screening? [00:31:02] Andrew Stanton: Um, I was praying really, really hard to whoever. [00:31:08] Taylor Swift: I mean, I think, I found out that there was no, like, that there was no other, I guess, person on your mood board. Because I was repeatedly asking, I, I know that it took me a couple months to come back to this project. Did you, be honest, did you guys replace me? I don't want to kick somebody off of this project who was, that you reached out to after. Because I, I understand, but like, I'm not in the business of doing that. And everybody said, no, there, we just decided there wasn't going to be an uncredits song. And you really said something very special. And I don't want to paraphrase, but you were talking about the legacy of Toy Story and how, for you, you had a vision that there was one artist that was going to be able to voice Jesse musically. And if it wasn't that, then that was fine. If it wasn't meant to be, then that was fine. Because you were making legacy films and you're not trying to just grab for what's available at the time. Absolutely. What you talked about, about grandparents. I would love. Oh yeah. [00:32:14] Andrew Stanton: Yeah. Well, we've said this since the beginning with Toy Story is that we wanted, you know, we were old, young, and passionate. And we were like, we don't want to be in just a successful movie. We want to be a great movie. And we don't mean that by box office or reviews. We meant by, because we were all film nuts ourselves. And like, and we, some of our favorite movies are movies that came out way before we were born that our parents showed us and said, we didn't want to be in the parent business of babysitting with a movie. We want to make a movie that's so good that the grandparents insist when they have a grandkid that this out of the 10 movies I've always loved. Like I make sure my grandkid's going to see this movie that he pull us off the shelf. And that puts you in a very different mindset in the long term thinking of like, what are you trying to get across and say? And it takes out any kind of its current, it takes out, sometimes it leaves money on the table. And you're just in it for trying to honestly capture that feeling that you got when your favorite movie played and you never forgot it. And we've always been striving for that since the first movie. Since the first movie, which was Toy Story, so the Toy Story movies have always been held at that standard. Sometimes we curse the day that we made that movie. [00:33:30] Taylor Swift: It's a really lofty and sincere goal. [00:33:33] Andrew Stanton: And you can't plan for it. You can't, you know, but you can only just, I'm sure you're like this every time you write a song, like you can only just strive for hitting the bullseye every time. You know, and you only know how to do that once. I'll get spitting right now. It's like a bingo card. Yeah. [00:33:52] Taylor Swift: And you have a roundup on them later. [00:33:53] Andrew Stanton: Yeah, we're in the grandparent business. [00:33:57] Speaker 1: Well, you both did, I mean, I feel like I see something different and I hear something different each time I watch and listen to this film and this song and it's, you both just did extraordinary things. So, I want to congratulate you, Andrew Stitton. Thank you for being here. It's been awesome. [00:34:29] Taylor Swift: Happy to be here. [00:34:30] Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you all so much. [00:34:32] Taylor Swift: There's going to be a reception outside. Yeah, we were also, Andrew and I were saying, we'd love to say hi to you guys too. We're going to stay here. So, if anybody wants to come and say hello, we're just going to be here. And if you want to take a picture or anything, just have your phone ready. And we are so appreciative that you guys made time for us today. And we'd love to say hello. All right. [00:34:57] Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do it.
