I told you years ago that I was going to keep my promise to Pablo [Paul Walker]. I swore we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the final which is 10! I say this out of love… but you have to show yourself, not leave the franchise inactive, you have a very important role to play. Hobbs cannot be played by anyone else. I hope you will rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny.
