WILLIAM PETER BLATTY:
I would like to thank Mr. William Bloom who taught me the rudiments and the craft of screenwriting, and Billy Friedkin, and my late parents who came to this country on a cattle boat and whose love and whose courage have brought me to this moment and to this place. You've honored them tonight and I thank you very, very much.
