Hey...
Can you hear me?
Good!
Sorry that I have to do this this way. I'm not really welcome back there...yet. But I could not let my old Smithy down, right?
John Smith...dull name for a quiet man (''a living heart donor'' was my phrase). What a surprise for us, right? Some of you might wonder why he did it, but he had to talk about our irregularities and you needed a scapegoat.
Sorry to end this here, but a party's about to start and you should see the sunset here.
All the best, Johnny boy!
We all have to do it sometimes...
