LOL. So, what - you’re hoping he might just stop, mid-sentence, staring blindly into space; then maybe tremble a bit; then, a tear, trickling down his cheek... then just blubbering and wailing and calling for his mother?
I was thinking the teleprompter might short out and he'd freeze like a deer in the headlights, but you're painting an even prettier picture.
