Ryan Stone: Hey, Matt. Since I had to listen to endless hours of your storytelling this week, I need you to do me a favour. You are going to see a little girl with brown hair, very messy, lots of knots and she doesn't like to brush it and that's OK. Her name is Sarah. Can you please tell her that mama found her red shoe. She was so worried about that shoe, Matt and it was just right under the bed. Give her a big hug and a big kiss from me and tell her mama misses her. You tell her that she is my angel, and she makes me so proud. So, so proud. And you tell her that I'm not quitting. You tell her that I love her, Matt. You tell her that I love her so much. Can you do that for me? Roger that. Here we go.
