Haley - "Yes, Holly, now THAT was more like it! Your last diatribe is exactly the spirit I was looking for from you. Yes, we all know that you like to laugh and hear yourself talk, make up clever analogies and provide us all with a strange and wonderful new world of theater.
But that's not what I wanted to hear. I wanted to get the right spirit out of you. I want you at your best, Holly, and I wanted to be *sure* of it. Not much of what you've said recently has given me that confidence in your spirit, but your last message... yes, THAT convinced me.
Excellent. Precisely what I wanted to see.
But do realize that you are foolish if you think that I or Jo Ryder, for that matter, haven't noticed your recent success. You wouldn't even have a title shot without it. I said a long time ago that you could be a worthy opponent and this past year has done nothing but prove that to me.
Once again, I say excellent.
I am very proud to wear this title and regardless of what you believe, Holly, I have earned it. But this title isn't everything to me. Sounds strange, doesn't it? To hear the Champion say that the title isn't everything. But it's true, for me anyway. What really matters to me is the *competition*. What matters to me is the skill and spirit that this title represents.
If I am beaten for this title, you can be SURE that they - have - EARNED it. It's not going to be easy to get past me, but if you do, you have truly proven your skill. And you know what? I'll have had the time of my life defending it, competing in the world's greatest sport.
And that's why I was so pleased to hear what you last had to say. Now I *know* you're hungry for this title. And you are going to give me exactly what I want, whether you like it or not: competition. It's what I live for."
