“Ladies and gentlemen,” said Stanford Pines, “I address you today not only as a fellow science researcher, but as a man who is about to write a new chapter in the history of mankind!”

Here he cleared his throat, then continued. “Yes, right here in Gravity Falls, we are changing the world in ways nobody before had ever dreamed of! Perhaps, years from now, people will flock to the humble shack where it all began—“

Just then, Fiddleford barged into the kitchen. “Stanford? Who are you talking to?”

“Just, er, practicing my speech to the committee!” said Stanford, grinning sheepishly.
