THELMA SCHOONMAKER:
Thank you very much. I'm very proud to have this. I want to thank, first of all, Marty Scorsese; he edited this film with me every minute of the time. I want to thank him particularly for his brilliant direction, and Robert De Niro for his incredible performance which gave me gold to work with, pure gold. Of course all the members of my staff and the dubbing crew, particularly my first assistant, Sonya Polonsky, who worked so incredibly hard on the film. Frank Warner, for his wonderful sound effects editing job. And lastly, Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff, for their tremendous support during the making of the film. Thank you very, very much. I'm very proud to have this. Thank you.
