From the transcript

Thank you. Well, Mr. Mayor, thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you to my fellow council members too for their kind words. I did not expect to be up here today. I came to see my friend Bruce get sworn in, and that's why I was a minute late, and I apologize. I'm usually, as you know, a pretty timely person, but— and the way I'm dressed, I'm very casual.
