[ Crowd shouting in distance ] No one around here remembers a governor giving one, so it must have been a long time ago. [ Laughter ] [ Applause ] ♪♪ ♪♪ -♪ She got big red lips ♪ She got big brown eyes ♪ When she treats me right, it's a big surprise ♪ -Places, everyone.I took a city bus to a big public school with thousands of kids.I had never been alone one minute in my life.However, I was on a fervent mission to get other women -- not me, but other women and minorities -- to participate in government with this little group that traveled all over the state.That campaign was the most stressful thing I have ever done in my entire life -- well, other than teach junior high school.Pick some cute trinket out of my good-job drawer.I had an adrenalin rush that should have been illegal.Listen, I have a task for -- for, um -- for, um, oh, that cute little round girl I like in Appointments.Uh, a lot of you women won't even contemplate it 'cause you see politics as -- as, uh, so dirty.I thank the senior class for inviting me to speak at your graduation.Sarah won a seat in the Texas House.I have to fly right back and meet with general counsel on it tonight.Uh, the woman brought her son with her, probably 9 years old.All that -- All that aside, where was the sense in looking back? Can you speak to him now?But, boy, you'd better call them right now.Cecile is just nuts with those twins.I bet some of you just remember me 'cause of my hair.Oh, yeah, and when he was just a slip of a boy, he took his little hatchet, went out into the backyard, and chopped down the family mesquite tree.Women never did those big jobs.Now, do you have a crowd gathering over there yet?Well -- Well, thanks a million.He says he isn't gonna talk to any of your hairy-legged zoo girls.You don't want to look like a little girl in an office situation.They're supposed to keep this binder up to date. No. I-I cannot wing that speech.I was on a plane to a treatment hospital that very night.Come on, I was, like, traumatized, seeing all them sitting there, looking like the Lord's last supper.And sometimes I think that's true, 'cause listen to what happened.But -- But, listen, I'm -- I-I just -- I got to run.And the terrier says, 'What's your story? 'They have absolutely no idea that -- that, uh, only the board has that power, not that the board ever would do it.And believe you me, there always was.And if you don't get that speech to me over in El Paso, I'm gonna let all those people down.It wasn't Walking out of the governor's office, um, I was 60.And -- And on a bad night for the team, she would pound that table with the flat of her hand and say in the voice of God, 'Can we not, I say, can we not shoot any better than this? 'Anyway, by then, I was already focused on the hard practical realityof fixing stuff in my community, you know, like -- like getting stop signs put up at the bad intersections, stuff like that.Uh, so look now, this speech, it's in good enough shape.The reporter's on, and the deadline is today.My supporters dropped their popcorn and burst into flame.I mean, it's got seals and ribbons on it.Uh, uh, uh, Mother Theresa called to -- to lean on me.And -- And I functioned all over the place.Then the Catholic Bishop's emissary came.
