next.

:13:01
I mean, you know, you were
always interesting, but, uh...

:13:04
I thought so.
:13:13
This-This one class...
Do you remember this, Morrie?

:13:16
Um, you didn't say anything.
You remember that?
You just stared at us.

:13:19
- Hmm.
- We all trooped in
with our notebooks ready...

:13:22
waiting for you to start
casting pearls, and nothing.

:13:26
Five minutes go by.
Ten minutes.

:13:29
We started panicking.
"Why isn't the guy saying anything?"

:13:32
Finally, after like... I think
it was 20 minutes of that...

:13:35
and we really can't take it anymore,
you say, very quietly...

:13:39
- "What's happening here?"
- Exactly right.
"What's happening here?"

:13:43
That's exactly what you said.
You were making a point about silence.

:13:45
What is it about silence
that makes people uneasy, huh?

:13:50
Right.
:13:52
Why do people only feel comfortable
when they're filling the air with words?

:13:55
Hmm?
:13:58
[Chuckles]
:14:01
Should I tell you
what it's like? Dying?

:14:06
That's another subject that
makes people uncomfortable.

:14:09
We'll get to it later. You know,
right now I gotta go to the commode.

:14:13
Are you up to, uh,
giving me a hand?

:14:16
Um... sure.
:14:18
Well, now wait a minute.
I better get Connie. It takes an expert.

:14:21
- [Bell Rings]
- [Morrie] Connie, uh...

:14:23
[Clears Throat]
:14:25
You know, dying is just
one thing to be sad about.

:14:29
Living unhappily,
that's another matter.

:14:35
See ya in a minute.
:14:37
Okay.
:14:43
- [Sighs]
- Are you happy in Detroit?

:14:47
Yeah. Best town to be in
for a sportswriter.

:14:50
Football, basketball,
baseball, hockey, you name it.

:14:53
Are you giving
to your community?

:14:59
I-I... They're nuts for sports.
