Scotty Nguyen Takes the Microphone

Scotty Nguyen finishes his ESPN exit interview, and he is handed a microphone to address the crowd. This is nearly word-for-word what he said (you'll have to do your best to imagine it in Scotty's voice):

"First, I want to congratulate all the players here, and I wish the best to all of you. But the most important thing is, I want to thank the fans. Without you guys, we wouldn't have Scotty Nguyen. We're disappointed, but let me tell you, you guys gave me all I need."

At this point, a woman screamed out, "We love you!"

Scotty continued:

"I want to thank ESPN, the Bluff, the whole crews, the whole staff, and everybody here. I wish I could give you more, but for 2007 [he pronounced it as "two-thousand-oh-oh-seven"], that's the end of me. I'll see you back here in 2008."
