-Hey.

-New York City, huh?

-New York City. [ Glass shatters ]

[ Record scratches, music stops ]

-New York City?! -New York City?!

-Yeah.

I'm doing a show here at U.T. Austin.

Y-You guys should come.

[ Audience laughs ]

What? You think just 'cause I'm from New York,

I can't hang in Texas?

I did my research.

I watched "Friday Night Lights."

Ate at a restaurant called Texas Barbecue.

In Manhattan.

It's pretty good.

Texas is more than just a word on a shirt

that I bought at the airport 20 minutes ago.

It's me.

It's us. We are Texas.

I am Texas.

And I'm gonna prove it to you.
