:20:04
A bit like yourself, Scott.
:20:06
Not always...
:20:08
strictly ballroom.
:20:11
Shirley put up with it
for as long...

:20:12
as she bloody well could.
:20:19
It was only a matter of time...
:20:20
before she eventually...
cracked.

:20:23
I tried to warn him,
but, no, he wouldn't listen.

:20:29
He wouldn't listen
to any of us.

:20:30
He'd lost touch with reality.
:20:32
He was convinced
he and your mum...

:20:33
could win
the Pan Pacific Grand Prix...

:20:34
dancing his own steps.
:20:37
Of course, they lost.
:20:39
Heh. I was lucky enough
to win that year.

:20:41
The shock sent Doug crazy.
:20:45
He vowed
he'd never dance again.

:20:47
For a while there...
:20:48
we didn't think
he'd pull through.

:20:50
Slowly, little by little,
day by day...

:20:54
he managed to crawl back
from the dark pit of despair...

:20:58
and tack together
some semblance of a life.

:21:08
When you were born,
Doug found a reason to live.

:21:13
He vowed that one day...
:21:15
you'd win the trophy
that he could never win.

:21:19
That's why I've been
so hard on you, Scott.

:21:21
For Doug to see you so close
and go the same way he went...

:21:25
it would be too much
for him to bear.

:21:27
I really think
it would kill him.

:21:32
I managed to save this
as a souvenir.

:21:38
Doug got rid of
everything else.

:21:41
Don't tell anybody I've got it.
:21:48
Why didn't anyone tell me?
:21:53
Doug destroyed
your mother's career.

:21:56
We had to keep it from you.
:21:58
Your father's
a proud man, Scott.
