: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.
:52:02
Those words that l read today...
:52:07
...l didn't write them.
:52:09
Jamal Wallace did.
:52:20
Quiet.
:52:24
Quiet! Quiet, please!
:52:27
Be still.
:52:31
Quiet, please.
:52:33
That has no bearing...
:52:36
...on the decision concerning--
:52:38
As director of this competition,
l have final say in this matter.
:52:41
Robert, sit down.
:52:43
l have been a teacher
for more than 30 years.
:52:47
That's long enough to know that
integrity counts for something.
:52:51
l'd say that Mr. Forrester...
:52:53
...has cleared up this matter
very nicely for us all.
:52:56
And as chairman
of the faculty board...
:52:58
...l have the last word
in that matter.
