00:00And now I get the pleasure of welcoming to the stage the incomparable, he said his name is pronounced Josh Broland, but he's an incredible actor and he's here to give his remarks.
00:15Josh Broland.
00:32Hi everybody.
00:35We're here for key today hi Corey.
00:38Hi Jeff.
00:40Hi Carrie.
00:43Okay.
00:48I'm so honored to be here today.
00:52It's such a wonderful story that you have.
00:56And you're here, and you're doing something that I thought stopped in the 40s.
01:02And obviously they brought it back for somebody super special.
01:07And that's you. I hold you in a very dear place in my heart.
01:11First, I want to read, which key has not heard a letter that was written on January 22.
01:21When he asked Stephen to be here.
01:25Stephen planned a vacation for a year. So he says, and he is on that vacation right now but he wrote this letter to you my friend.
01:39January 22 2025 when I heard that key was getting his hands and feet in cement.
01:45I had a dream that this was a deaf defying cliffhanger for short round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in a scene that I had never filmed, and was wondering where this was going to fit into the existing movie.
02:00Fortunately, I was only having a dream.
02:04The key your whole life has been a dream come true. And now you will be immortalized at the Grauman's Chinese theater, which is an honor bestowed upon the very few.
02:15So key is always, I'm proud of you for your meteoric rise as a child, and then your second meteor rise as a grown up.
02:25And believe me the very few, very few of us get two bites of that apple.
02:30The bite you have taken over the last five years has been to eat the whole damn apple.
02:36So enjoy every morsel. Don't wipe your chin. Let it drip onto your tuxedo, your new standard wear and seize the day.
02:45Key you have my love. You will always have my respect and you will always be part of my movie family and my personal family in real life.
02:55Love you, pal. Stephen.
03:04A beautiful note from a more than worthy person and one of.
03:11You're truly one of the last existences of the American dream.
03:17Ki Hui Quan, I can't call you Ki Quan. I know you as Ki Hui Quan. I know you as a 13 year old.
03:25I won't say much other than after the Goonies, I too lived in the ethers of our business for 19 plus years.
03:33The only difference being that I was still chipping away at leftovers and trading stocks full time while you pursued a whole other profession and excelled in it famously.
03:44You have that Midas touch, my friend, and you have it because you have that heart of gold that you've always had.
03:53As far back as 40 years, it's been. I was 16 years old. You were a sprightly 13.
04:01I remember your family having the same heart driven, totally inclusive disposition, always welcoming, always with open arms.
04:11I could not be happier for you. I know we all are.
04:14All us Goonies here for an honor that is not only totally deserved, but celebrates all that is right in this industry.
04:23Love you, pal.
