:22:02
Well, it's gonna miss you.
You did a heck of a job.

:22:05
First in your class. Congratulations.
:22:08
Ah, it's no big deal.
:22:10
It's not like being
starting quarterback

:22:13
on an undefeated team, right?
:22:15
Jack, I've coached here since '59.
:22:19
And I taught history all that time.
:22:21
And I'll tell you this:
:22:23
I'll take a kid who cracks a book
over one who can pass a pigskin

:22:26
any day of the week.
:22:28
You know, I was just thinking.
:22:31
My dad graduated from here
23 years ago almost right to this day.

:22:36
Don't remind me.
:22:45
I know what's on your mind.
:22:49
A lot of fathers are gonna be
at graduation.

:22:54
If things had worked out differently,
yours would be there too.

:22:57
The war's over, coach.
It's been over a long time.

:23:00
For us, yeah.
:23:03
But for the guys
who went over there...

:23:06
So you're telling me things'll
never get back to normal.

:23:09
Normal? What's normal?
:23:12
For the kids whose dads
are gonna be at graduation,

:23:14
maybe for them things are normal.
:23:16
But they're not top of the class.
:23:19
They're not valedictorian.
You did that all on your own.

:23:23
One hundred percent.
:23:25
And nobody can
take it away from you.

:23:29
Okay.
:23:32
Thanks for the pep talk.
:23:35
Force of habit.
:23:56
Listen up. Come on around here,
listen up.
