1:05:13
l remember something
the teacher said.
1:05:17
A bed, a mirror,
1:05:20
and a heart
1:05:21
are all empty.
1:05:24
ln other words,
you're all alone.
1:05:29
l'm going to marry Roque's sister
when l grow up.
1:05:36
Today, after a lifetime
dedicated to teaching,
1:05:39
Don Gregorio is retiring.
1:05:42
As mayor of this town,
1:05:43
and in the name
of the authorities,
1:05:45
students and parents...
1:05:47
l want to make clear our gratitude
1:05:50
for what you've done
for our children:
1:05:53
prepare them for life,
and especially,
1:05:55
for being good citizens.
1:06:00
Don Gregorio,
1:06:01
you know l'm not one
for speeches.
1:06:04
Al l can really say...
is thank you.
1:06:08
Thank you from the bottom
of our hearts.
1:06:19
Honorable authorities,
1:06:22
dear children,
1:06:24
and distinguished citizens.
1:06:27
ln springtime,
1:06:28
the wild duck returns
to its home to mate.
1:06:33
Nothing can stop him.
1:06:36
lf you cut off his wings,
he'll swim.
1:06:39
lf you cut off his feet,
he'll row with his beak,
1:06:43
like an oar against the stream.
1:06:46
This journey
1:06:47
is his raison d'être.
1:06:50
ln the autumn of my life,
l should be skeptical.
1:06:54
And in a way, l am.
1:06:58
The wolf will never lie down
