:22:00
"Well, all of your friends
said something happened.
:22:02
Didn't something happen?
:22:03
Something must have happened,"
et cetera, et cetera.
:22:05
And they were convinced.
:22:06
They kept saying
they were innocent.
:22:10
And I just kept thinking,
:22:13
"I have to believe them. "
:22:16
It's very hard for people to
accept him as a pedophile.
:22:21
Arnold Friedman was
an award-winning teacher.
:22:25
All over the house
were plaques
:22:27
and newspaper articles
written about him.
:22:30
He had been given an award,
"Computer Teacher of the Year. "
:22:33
He also taught piano.
:22:39
David plays beautifully.
:22:40
And his father taught him
how to play the piano.
:22:46
It was when he died
that I realized
:22:49
how much of an impact
he had on my life.
:22:53
Take a bow.
:22:56
He was very supportive of my
magic when I was a kid.
:23:04
When I was about 6, my father
took me to a magic show.
:23:08
And it's probably
my earliest memory.
:23:12
You know when your son goes
to college and you say,
:23:15
"Go to college," and
"What are you going to be?
:23:17
"Be a doctor. Be a lawyer. "
:23:20
I tried to make him into
a doctor or a lawyer.
:23:30
You know, my mom would
always say, you know,
:23:32
"Get a job. Get a job. "
:23:33
But my dad would say to me,
"You know, David,
:23:35
I can't tell you what to do,
because you know what I did
:23:37
when I got out of college. "
:23:39
He blew off his chemical
engineering degree,
:23:41
which he could have worked
for an oil company
:23:43
and made tons of money.
:23:44
Instead, he played
in the mountains,
:23:45
which is a total blow-off,
follow your dream,
:23:47
artistic thing.
:23:49
And I totally love him for that.
:23:57
Trust your children to somebody
who was a schoolteacher
