''families by tens and dozens...''
1:07:05
''brothers, sisters...''
1:07:09
''husbands, wives...''
1:07:14
''followed the piper
for their lives.''

1:07:41
l've been wanting to meet you
for a long time.

1:07:45
Not just because of all the good
things l've heard about you.

1:07:50
But because...
1:07:53
well, l'm the guy
who's representing you...

1:07:55
and your mom and dad
and several people in town.

1:07:59
We're trying to generate,
however meager,

1:08:01
some compensation...
1:08:05
for what you've suffered.
1:08:09
At the same time...
1:08:12
to make sure an accident
like this never happens again.

1:08:17
l don't like thinking
about the accident.

1:08:21
l don't even
remember it happening.

1:08:25
Besides...
1:08:28
lt just makes people
feel sorry for me.

1:08:32
-You hate that.
-What she means--

1:08:38
People can't help it.
1:08:40
They see you
in this wheelchair...

1:08:43
they're going to
feel sorry for you.

1:08:45
l didn't know you...
1:08:47
nor how promising and exciting
your life was before.

1:08:51
Even l feel sorry for you.
