But I jumped up, ran to the4, and caught the bill. As I turned and5 the audience, thoughts raced through my mind—was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they6 security guards and take me away from the stage? 7 my desire for the money was louder than any8 voice. When I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That's it! We can't wait for the 9to come to us. We must take action to10 what we want!” After his talk, 1 managed to formally meet Jack and bravely asked for his11 email address.
