“I’m sorry you had to clap so long for me to speak. It’s not mine anymore. It’s yours. I knew that the minute this was over. And that’s the way it should be. I think movies aren’t about their opening weekends, they are about their lives. And about how many times you are willing to share it. And I hope you do share this movie with your sweethearts, with your children.”
