Fortunately you think of something to say at the last moment. A scientist who happened to be recording the utterance is moved to shed a single tear, and share the video with some friends. It's so powerful that rapidly spreads. The same day it gets broadcast worldwide on television and radio.
People stop what they are doing to listen to the broadcast, and everyone is changed for the better. People that were enemies become friends. World leaders unite on the issue of climate change and work together to fix the problems. People destined for a life of crime change their ways for good, and animal cruelty becomes a thing of the past.
