JACK NICHOLSON:
Well, thanks to the members of the Academy for this wonderful honor. Congratulations to John and Sam and Charles and Rip for your wonderful jobs. It's nice when you...the producer and the director and the writers are all one man -- Jim Brooks. He did everything for us on "Terms of Endearment," including writing eleven versions of this speech. I was gonna say a lot about how much Shirley and Debra inspired me, but I understand they're planning an interpretive dance number later, right after the Best Actress award, explain everything about life. And I want to thank Mr. Diller. Hi to Shorty and Lorraine, my agent Sandy Bresler. All you rock people down at the Roxy and up in the Rockies, rock on. Thanks. I'm real proud.
