Slade: Im not finished! As I came in here, I heard those words, cradle of leadership. Well, when the bow breaks, the cradle will fall. And it has fallen here; it has fallen. Makers of men; creators of leaders; be careful what kind of leaders youre producin here. I dont know if Charlies silence here today is right or wrong. Im not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this: he wont sell anybody out to buy his future!! And that, my friends, is called integrity! Thats called courage! Now thats the stuff leaders should be made of. Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now heres Charlie. Hes come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. Its the right path. Its a path made of principle -- that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boys future in your hands, committee. Its a valuable future. Believe me. Dont destroy it! Protect it. Embrace it. Its gonna make ya proud one day -- I promise you.
