WHEN: Monday Night, 10:30 PM
WHERE: Every wireless in town that's turned on.
WHAT: As the end of this song fades out, Lee begins to speak.
It's half past 10. Thanks for still listening. It's not that late, but we've been working hard to put this place to rights. We should be in bed. We should give our loved ones hugs and kisses. Tuck the kids in. Wish them goodnight and sweet dreams. Pull that someone special close. Or a friend. Hugs are hugs.
I'm in a sentimental mood tonight, my friends. It's my mam's birthday. I know I'm there to give her a hug, remind her she's not as old as she thinks. But I'm here, too. I'm near 40, and there are times when, uh...I still want my mother.
We're making this place stronger. We're building a foundation that will keep us safe. We will be ready for whatever this place throws at us next. We'll try to be. There are some things you can't prepare for. Wildest dreams and worst nightmares, and it still doesn't prepare you for some things.
long pause
I'm sorry I'm a downer tonight. I'm being sappy, sentimental, homesick, and you lot aren't my captive therapists. Captive audience, yes, but that means I should entertain you. Give you something to dance to, or fall asleep to. So, here. Don't mind this old man.
