<i>You all have known me</i> <i>for a while...</i> <i>and for a long time now, you've been</i> <i>hearing me talk about being perfect.</i>

Well, I want you to understand somethin'.
0:27
To me, being perfect...

is not about that scoreboard out there.

<i>Bein'perfect...</i> is about being able to look your friends in the eye...
0:52
and <i>know</i> that you didn't let them down.
0:56
Because you told 'em the truth.

<i>And that truth is, is that you did</i> <i>everything that you could.</i>

Can you live in that moment...

as best you can with clear eyes...
1:12
and love in your heart?
1:17
With joy in your heart?
1:20
If you can do that, gentlemen, <i>then you're perfect.</i> I want you to take a moment...
1:33
and I want you to look each other in the eyes.
1:41
<i>I want you to put each other</i> <i>in your hearts forever.</i>
1:44
Because forever's about to happen here in just a few minutes.
1:51
I want you to close your eyes...
