Chaplin thanked everyone in his speech and said, “Oh, thank you so much. This is an emotional moment for me, and words seem so futile, so feeble. I can only say thank you for the honor of inviting me here. And you’re wonderful, sweet people. Thank you.” That’s so generous of him to acknowledge everyone around and behave like a true human being at the moment.
