Heroes aren't just

Heroes can be anyone
who does something good

[steam hisses]
Like Philip.
When James almost
fell off a bridge,
it was Philip
who came to his rescue,
And Stephen once
risked his own safety
to stop Gordon from
going over a broken bridge.
And when I thought
I was rescuing the actor,
I wasn't trying
to be an action hero,
I was just trying
to keep the actor safe.

You don't need to be in a film
to be a hero.
You just need
to help somebody in need.
Maybe you'll be a hero one day.
Maybe you already are.
