'l wish l had seen this, or l wish
l had done that, or l wish--'''
:50:08
Most of you are too young...
:50:11
...to know what your wishes will be.
:50:15
But when l read these words...
:50:18
...words of hope and dreams...
:50:22
...l realize that the one wish...
:50:25
...that was granted to me
so late in life...
:50:29
...was the gift of frien--
:50:30
Of friendship.
:50:35
Mr. Forrester, l'm sure l speak
on behalf of everyone here...
:50:38
...in thanking you for this
unexpected visit.
:50:42
The quality of your words...
:50:45
...is something we should all
aspire to reach.
:50:50
Mr. Forrester?
:50:53
Mr. Forrester, may l ask...
:50:56
...to what do we owe this honor?
:50:59
Professor Crawford...
:51:02
...l spoke here today...
:51:04
...because a friend of mine
wasn't allowed to.
:51:07
A friend who had the integrity
to protect me...
:51:11
...when l was unwilling
to protect him.
:51:15
His name is Jamal Wallace.
:51:23
Jamal Wallace is a friend of yours?
:51:25
Yes. Yes, he is.
:51:29
l helped him to find his own words...
:51:32
...by starting with some of mine.
:51:34
And in return, he promised...
:51:37
...never to say anything to anybody
about me.
:51:42
A promise which he kept.
:51:43
Mr. Forrester...
:51:46
...while your visit
appears to be heartfelt...
:51:48
...l'm sure you will appreciate...
:51:50
...that it will not change
or interfere...
:51:54
...with this institution reaching a
fair and proper decision in his case.
:51:58
There's one more issue here.
