Al Pacino’s Academy Award Winning Performance in Scent of A Women
May 30th 2007 02:00
An all inspiring and fired up speech by Pacino himself as exerted:
'What is your motto here? Boys, inform on your classmates, save your hides, anything else and we'll burn you at the stake? Well, this is such a crock of sh**! ...'
... 'There are two kinds of people in this world: those who run and hide and those who stay. ... '
'He dunnt need to be labelled, "still worthy of calling himself a Baird Man". What the heck is a Baird Man anyway? I don't know who went here before, William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bride, William Tell, whoever, they're all dead, and their souls are dead, if they ever even had one. But this boy's soul is alive and it is in tact. And it's non-negotiable. You know how I know? Because somebody here, and I won't say who, offered to buy it from him. But Charlie here wuddn't selling. ...'
'I'm not finished yet! As I walked into this place, I heard those words "cradle of leadership". Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and it has fallen here. "Cradle of leadership", "makers of leaders", be careful of what kind of leaders you're making here. Now I don't know if Charlie's silence here is right or wrong, I'm not a judge or jury, but I do know one thing: he will not sell anybody out to buy his future! And that, my friends, is called integrity. It's called courage. And that's what leaders should be made of. You hold this boy's future in your hands, commitee, and it is a valuable future, I know. Don't destroy it, embrace it. It will make you proud some day. I promise.'
