JEREMY LARNER:
First of all I'd like to thank Robert Redford for his help and support; our director Michael Ritchie; my friend Ziggy, who got me into this; and all the people watching tonight over at Walter's. And most of all I'd like to thank the political figures of our time who've given me terrific inspiration. I think as long as they continue to do the things they do and to use the words that they use, words like "honor," there'll be better pictures and sharper pictures even than "The Candidate." Thanks very much.
