MAN 2:
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome
the newest and youngest
addition to the Tribune team,
Lee Strobel.
(muffled cheers)
It is my distinct pleasure
to honor one of our own
for his nationally acclaimed
Ford Pinto investigative series.
Lee, your work has given justice
to families across the country
and peeled back
a corporate cover-up.
So I present you with
the Len H. Small Memorial Award
for community service
journalism.
And congratulations
on your promotion
- (cheering, applause)
LEE:
Thank you, Mr. Cook,
for the award,
for the promotion.
Um... (clears throat)
mostly for the promotion.
- Uh... (chuckles)
- You're welcome.
The only way to truth
is through facts.
Facts are our greatest weapon
against superstition,
against ignorance
and against tyranny.
from my mentor,
- Mr. Ray Nelson, everybody.
- Thank you.
Let's let him hear it, huh?
Huh? His ego needs it.
Bring it on.
- That's enough.
- (light laughter)
LEE:
Now, you all know Ray.
He's a legend in the business.
But, to me, Ray, you've been
more like a father, so...
thank you.
- (light laughter)
Most importantly, uh,
I owe this honor
to my beautiful and very patient
and very pregnant wife, uh...
and to my favorite
little lady, Alison.
I love you both more
than you'll ever know.
- GROUP:
Aw...- Yes, sweetie?
ALISON (whispering):
Now can we eat?
(Lee laughs)
- "Now can we eat, Daddy?"
- GROUP:
Yes!- Yes!
- I'll drink to that.
- MAN:
Cheers!- Thank you.
