That was the immediate reaction of New South Wales Premier Chris Minns when he was passed a note in parliament shortly before midday.
He had already faced two hours of questioning in a budget estimates hearing and still had another hour to go.
The note was a surprising, but welcome distraction from questions about uranium mining.
After being assured the information was credible, the premier made an announcement that brought joy to the room.
"We've got some fantastic news, Mr Chair," he said.

There were murmurs of relief from MPs, many of whom had been following the news about the missing 18-year-old hiker.
Ms Hooper left her home south-west of Sydney on the morning of Wednesday, August 12, to go hiking in the Nattai National Park.
Her car was later found near the Bonnum Pic Walking Trail, sparking a large-scale multi-agency search involving nearly 1,000 people, according to police.
The premier went on to thank the police, the State Emergency Service (SES), defence personnel and the many others who had joined the search.
It was a moment of levity in a sometimes combative hearing.
The premier's announcement was widely reported, including by the ABC.
About 25 minutes later, the premier was handed another note, containing the worst possible news.

By that stage, the hearing had resumed normal programming, with opposition MP Natalie Ward asking a series of pointed questions about the office of local government.
