and I guess it's only natural that
we'd keep right on disagreeing.

:06:08
I know seven other men
who could do this better,

:06:10
but I'm not about to file
a dissenting opinion.

:06:15
Stanley Moorehead was
a gentleman of honest mind.

:06:19
You can't say that about many
men in this city, in this century.

:06:24
Stanley and I were like
a pair of flying buttresses.

:06:28
Leaning on opposite
sides of a Gothic cathedral,

:06:31
we helped keep the
roof from caving in.

:06:34
If we'd been on the
same side all the time,

:06:37
we might have pushed
the building over.

:06:39
Don't have to agree with a man
in order to respect him.

:06:45
Stanley and I had one argument
over and over again.

:06:48
I never won it. I never could win.

He used to ask me,
:06:52
"What in God's name is the practical
use of mountain climbing?"

:06:58
One time I said to him,
:07:00
"Well, on a mountaintop, maybe
you're a little bit closer to God."

:07:04
He laughed and said, "Dan, what
the hell do you know about God?"

:07:11
I do know this.
:07:13
Mr. Justice Stanley Moorehead is not
in a box about to be covered by earth.

:07:18
He's at the top of a mountain,
higher than I have ever climbed.

:07:30
Fire!
:07:31
Ready! Aim! Fire!
:07:34
Ready! Aim! Fire!
:07:37
Ready! Present arms.
