Mr. Ruettiger?
:26:30
-Rudy.
-I'm Father Cavanaugh.
:26:35
How Iong have you thought
about this decision?
:26:40
For as Iong as I can remember--
:26:42
Have you taken the proper steps,
investigated the process?
:26:46
-Yes. I have more to Iearn, but--
-Are you fuIIy aware...
:26:51
...of the sacrifices
you'II have to make?
:26:55
I am.
:26:57
I'II do whatever it takes.
:27:01
What brought you here today?
:27:05
I just came from my best friend's
funeraI. He said that--
:27:08
Of course.
:27:10
What do you mean, ''Of course''?
:27:12
WeII, it's very common for peopIe...
:27:15
...suffering a crisis to seek
escape into the cIoth.
:27:18
-We recommend a grieving--
-Escape into the cIoth?
:27:21
That's just an expression
that we use...
:27:23
...for those who are running away from
emotionaI or psychoIogicaI pain...
:27:28
...by choosing priesthood.
:27:32
You think I want to become a priest?
:27:36
Don't you?
:27:39
Nothing against being a priest,
but I don't think it's for me.
:27:43
Why are you here?
:27:45
I want to go to schooI at Notre Dame.
:27:52
WeII, have you appIied?
:27:54
No, my grades have never been
very good, even though I tried.
:27:58
But I'II try harder. I'II study
20 hours a day if I have to.
