:10:02
- Gotcha. Hey, we'll talk later?
- I get ideas all the time.
:10:06
Great. Sorry.
:10:09
- [TVSportscaster, Indistinct]
- [Sighs] Anyway...
:10:11
the truth is,
it's too late.
:10:13
All these years I haven't
sent the guy a postcard.
How am I gonna face him now?
:10:17
- [Crowd Cheering]
- Mitch, think...
:10:21
Hey, think of him. Think about
how much it would mean to him.
:10:25
At least call him.
:10:28
In hockey last night,
with the play-off berth at stake
and visions of the golden cup...
:10:32
[Mitch Narrating]
I lived on the phone,
made dozens of calls a day.
:10:35
Why couldn't I make one
to a dying man?
:10:38
The simple answer was guilt,
but it was more than that.
:10:42
I was afraid
of seeing him now.
:10:44
I had a thing about death.
:10:46
- Here's my buddy!
- Hey!
:10:49
Hey. You're one
of the special ones, Mitch.
:10:52
You're gonna keep in touch,
you gotta promise me.
:10:55
- I promise.
- [Mitch Narrating]
I failed that promise.
:10:58
- [Phone Ringing]
- I also had a thing about failure.
:11:00
- [Janine On Phone] Hello?
- Hey, it's me.
:11:02
- Hey.
- Well, you were right. I can't work.
:11:05
I can't even think here. I gotta
do something. About Morrie, I mean.
:11:08
- Are you gonna go see him?
- Yeah, it's one trip to Boston.
:11:11
- Quick little visit,
say I'm sorry and say good-bye.
- [Sportscaster, Indistinct]
:11:15
Well, roll back the tape.
Let me hear the playback again.
:11:18
- [Sportscaster Continues]
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
:11:21
- [Tires Skidding]
- Oh, damn it!
:11:23
- What?
- No, no, no. I just spilled some coffee.
:11:26
Go-Go ahead.
Let me hear the playback.
:11:29
Yeah, I'm listening. That sounds fine.
Just go with that.
:11:33
- What? Take three?
- Yes. Is there a lot more?
:11:36
- Seven takes.
- You know what? We're gonna
have to do this, uh, later.
:11:47
Sorry.
Dropped my keys.
:11:53
It's Mitch.
Mitch Albom?
:11:57
I called.
I-I spoke to your wife.
:11:59
I don't get a hug
after 16 years?
