:26:01
Oh, yeah.
Beautiful day like this...
:26:04
and we made you spend it
buried in a book.
:26:07
Throw down your books! You have
nothing to lose but your grades.
:26:11
[Laughter, Murmuring]
:26:14
- Coach, you ever wish
you were young again?
- Nah.
:26:16
I've been young. I know how miserable
it can be, being young.
:26:19
Oh, push me
down there, huh?
:26:21
Aging isn't just decay,
you know? It's growth.
:26:24
So how come nobody ever says,
"Gee, I wish I were old"?
:26:27
Because this culture worships youth.
Me, I do not buy it.
:26:32
I've had my time to be 22.
This is my time to be 78.
:26:37
So, you were never
afraid of getting old?
:26:39
Oh, the fear of aging...
You know what that reflects, Mitch?
:26:42
- Lives that haven't found meaning.
- [Students Chattering]
:26:46
- The light changed.
- Oh.
:26:50
[Morrie]
Mitch, stop here.
:26:53
- This is where I used to dance.
- " Dance Free"?
:26:56
- Yeah.
- No wonder they went out ofbusiness.
:27:00
Not that kind of free, Mitch.
:27:02
I used to think if I couldn't dance,
I couldn't live.
:27:06
****[Tango]
:27:12
[Morrie] Sometimes I see myself
dancing, and I think...
:27:16
"Wow.! Oh, boy.!
I don't have ALS after all.
:27:20
"It's-It's a big mistake.
:27:22
It's all part of a lovely fantasy. "
:27:25
Butjust for a minute.
:27:29
Fantasy is useful.
You can learn from it.
:27:31
But, uh... this...
:27:35
this is what's real,
and I accept it.
:27:39
But is it really that easy? I mean,
don't you ever feel sorry for yourself?
:27:44
Oh, good...
Oh, you bet. God, I...
:27:47
Usually, in the morning... you know,
before everybody gets up...
:27:51
I get so... angry...
:27:54
and so bitter.
:27:56
I just... What the hell
did I ever do to deserve this?
