William Regal: "Hello, greetings and well wishes to all my friends here in Fort Lauderdale. Now as you know my friends, we are coming upon a festive holiday which you call Thanksgiving. And being an ambassador of goodwill, I am here to tell you... [crowd chants "USA")]I am here to tell you that Thanksgiving represents everything that is wrong with your country. Firstly, Thanksgiving started when several pilgrims -- who were kicked out of England, by the way -- came to this country, broke bread with the Native American fellows, slaughtered some turkeys and they all had a merry old time. And today this is why you give thanks to your fellow men and think that everything in the world is peaceful and harmonious. Well that my friends, is a load of bloody rubbish! What does Thanksgiving mean today? I'll tell you: it means a bunch of overweight, disgusting, dysfunctional families sitting on their bums, watching cartoon balloons parade on their television screens. What exactly is a rugrat? I don't know, but one thing I do know it shouldn't have any part of a holiday. And then we come to the Thanksgiving meal, don't even get me started about that because there's so many things wrong with it. It's shocking but I will let you know exactly what you need to do to correct this. You won't miss any out, don't worry. Firstly, after you finish the meal you do not unbutton your trousers and sit at the table. It is ghastly, not to mention very ill-mannered. Secondly, after your meal, if you must admit a belch, please put your hands to your mouth. This should go without bloody saying! Thirdly, listen I'm only trying to help."
[The Rock enters, and addresses Regal from the stage]
The Rock: "Finally, The Rock has come back... home. You see, William Regal, you think that The Rock has come out here to disagree with your little Thanksgiving message, you're wrong. Quite frankly, The Rock agrees with everything you've said. You see first and foremost, Thanksgiving is a damn fine holiday. Secondly, after you eat the meal there's nothing wrong with unbuttoning your pants. And thirdly, you are no more than a suit wearing bug eye cockamamie punk-ass son of a bitch!"
William Regal: "Now you listen to me, sunshine! I don't like you coming out here and besmirching my words!"
The Rock: "Wow, wow, wow, wow, let The Rock understand this. Besmirched. You use this word, 'besmirched'. William, are you feeling besmirched?"
William Regal: "Well, quite honestly yes I am."
The Rock: "IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE FEELING BESMIRCHED! Let The Rock set you straight on just a couple of things. You see the pilgrims weren't kicked out of England; they left England. They left England, they came over to America and they landed on a place called Plymouth... Rock. You see Thanksgiving... it's not about eating and drinking, no, no, no. It's about giving thanks and all the Rock's fans would give much thanks if The Rock would just walk down this ramp and... get inside the ring, look you right in the eyes and then proceeded [in an English accent] to wall up your candy bum all over Fort Lauderdale!
William Regal: "Was that some kind of a challenge? Are you challenging me to a match here tonight?!"
The Rock: "You bet your British ass The Rock is challenging you to a match tonight! It's gonna be you and The Rock. You're going one on one with The Great One and The Rock says this, after our match, we're gonna have ourselves a very nice Thanksgiving meal. The Rock is gonna take a turkey, The Rock is gonna eat the breast, eat the wing, eat the thigh but The Rock is gonna save you the drumstick. And The Rock is gonna take that drumstick, is gonna wash it off so it's nice and clean, he's gonna put some of that English Worchestershire sauce that you like to eat and then in an act of American goodwill The Rock is gonna bend you over, turn it sideways and stick it straight up your candy ass! IF YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING!"
