:50:00
You realize that you're free.
You're your own man.
:50:04
No need to worry about being captain
and all that status stuff.
:50:08
They'd never elect me captain
in a million years.
:50:12
You're the captain of your soul.
That's what counts. Know what l mean?
:50:19
There's one thing l could do.
:50:21
l could get in and make believe
l'm swimming across the pool.
:50:25
But that's kind of cheating, isn't it?
:50:27
Not if l did all the strokes exactly
as if l were in the water.
:50:31
- Hey, that's a good idea!
- Let's do it.
:50:38
Now, there are three things
to remember:
:50:41
Relax...
:50:43
...reach and follow through.
That's it.
:50:48
Okay, let's start with the crawl.
:50:56
Hey, you got pretty good form.
:51:00
l've had lots of lessons.
lt's just that l'm afraid of the water.
:51:05
Okay, over on your back. That's it.
:51:10
You know what we do
in the winter?
:51:12
We flood our tennis courts
and ice-skate on them.
:51:15
Those kids of mine look so damn cute.
Like elves in their red stocking caps.
:51:21
- l don't know how to skate.
- You come over, we'll teach you.
:51:25
- Then we'll have a game of hockey.
- Okay.
:51:29
Breaststroke. Yes, sir, those kids
of mine think l got all the answers.
:51:34
Those kids of mine
think l'm just about it.
:51:43
l've done it! lt's the first time
l've ever swum a whole lane!
:51:48
Congratulations.
:51:57
l suppose it doesn't count, though,
because there's no water.
