Take care of your family.
The family, of course, is saying, give us the money.
And he tells the king, forget it.
He brings the whole family together in a meeting and he persuades them that we need to honor Alfred's wishes and establish these prizes.
So...
you know, against great adversity, he's the reason the Nobel Prizes even exist.
And it's just a little, he was never looking for the spotlight.
He, you know, even in the years subsequent, you know, he didn't die until the 1930s.
So for 30 years, he oversaw these prizes, but was always kind of backstage and always put Alfred's name forward.
So it's fun to bring him back to life on the page and put his name forward a little bit.
Anthony, thank you so much.
Great to be here.
