KIETH MERRILL:
To all my friends to whom I've already recited this speech, try to remember it because I can't. To the Academy, thank you very much. To all of those who gave so much to make this film a possibility, thank you. The three very special people: to my mom, who taught me to believe in God, an uncompromising principle; and to my dad, who taught me to believe in myself; and to my best friend, my wife, who taught me to live by what they taught me. Thank you very much...."
