Darren: Okay.

Rosie: Two of her best books think there was.

Darren: Actually I um... There was someone on the internet that somehow managed to get a copy of her book signed for us. I'm really excited about that.

Rosie: Really? Their going to get it over to you?

Darren: I believe so.

You know I went to Burtanos in the Central City mall in L.A., and I had all nine of my books of hers and I stood in line for 2 hours, and got them all signed.

Darren: Thats fantasic.

Sweet like Chia-cherry-cola! Thats my favorite line.

Daniel: We heard about you plugging our song on the internet, so we have to repay you. Should we repay her?

Crowd yells yeah and claps

Darren: We have a little gift for you. It's a gold record, and it's presented to Rosie from us from Columbia Records.

Rosie: That's so nice of you! Thanks guys! You know you have a little bit of a George Michael quality to you voice which I enjoy. Has anyone said that?

Darren: People say a lot of things. I listen to lots of kinds of music, and I guess it comes though the way we write songs.

Daniel: I hear a little bit, but I think that George is great anyway.

Rosie: I love George Michael, and I love you guys.

Both: Thank you.

Rosie: Here's their self-titled album. Go out and buy it if you haven't yet. And thank you for coming! You can come back anytime you want.
