Transcript

Heidi Klum: Hello boys. Welcome to America’s Got Talent. How are you doing?
Fratelli Rossi: Pretty good.
Heidi: Why don’t you introduce yourselves?
Ricardo Rossi: My name is Ricardo Rossi.
Alejandro Rossi: My name is Alejandro Rossi.
Ricardo Rossi: We are the Fratelli Rossi.
Heidi: And you are brothers, obviously.
Alejandro: Of course.
Heidi: So what is your act? What will you be doing for us today?
Alejandro: We will be doing a tumbling act.
Simon: We have had a lot of mistakes today, so how dangerous is this act, honestly?
Alejandro: I was performing a show, and I fell down — a small accident — and I tore my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament). I had an ACL surgery six months ago, on my right knee, and tonight is my first performance since then.
Simon: Wow.

Heidi: Oh my god!
Mel B: Did he break it again?
Simon: Are you alright?
Mel B: Are they okay? Wow!
Mel B: No, don’t; you’ve not doing it again. No more, no more.
Howie: No more, no more.
Mel B: No, don’t do it again. They’ve done it already. Ohhhhhhh.
Mel B: Oh, my god!
Heidi: Oh . . . my . . . god!
