Kathy Morningside: New Jersey, as you may know, there are many who consider the Miss United States Pageant to be out dated and... and de-feminist. What would you say to them?

Gracie Hart: Well, I would say that I used to be one of them. And then I came here and I realized that, these women are smart, terrific people who are just trying to make a difference in the world. And we've become really good friends. I mean, I know that we secretly wish the other one to trip and fall on her face, but oh, wait a minute, I've already done that! [everyone laughs and applause] And for me, this experience has been one of the most, rewarding and liberating experiences of my life.

And if anyone, anyone, tries to hurt one of my new friends, I would take them out. I would make them suffer so much, that they'd wish they were never born. And if they ran, I would hunt them down. Thank you Kathy. [Stan claps, but everyone mutters amongst themselves]
