:50:02
You maybe blow a scholarship,
and you think you're dead?
:50:05
You got your whole life left
to screw up in, you stupid idiot.
:50:09
On his way home from yet another night
of toasting his success...
:50:12
Shawn crashed his new GTO "jockmobile"
into an innocent tree.
:50:16
Shawn, who managed
to squeak past his SATs...
:50:20
had no such luck
with his drug and alcohol tests.
:50:25
With no daily deadlines, noJanine,
I had lots of time on my hands.
:50:30
I thought of Morrie counting his
breaths, what time meant to him.
:50:33
[Morrie] Work, money, ambition.
We bury ourselves in these things.
:50:38
But we never stand back and say,
"Is this what I want?"
:50:42
[Mitch]
Unless somebody teaches us to.
:50:44
[Morrie]
We all need teachers, Mitch.
:50:49
- Why'd you become a teacher?
- I needed a job.
:50:52
Lots of jobs pay better than teacher.
You could've been a doctor or a lawyer.
:50:56
I hate the sight of blood.
And I hate lawyers.
:50:58
[Laughs] So what made you
become a teacher?
:51:01
[Coughs] Well, you think there's only
one reason why we do things?
:51:04
[Coughs]
In a way, because of my father.
:51:07
- Your father?
- Yeah. It's...
:51:10
- Is this him?
- Yeah. Yeah.
:51:12
Well, he doesn't seem like the kind
of guy who would encourage you.
:51:14
He didn't. He tried
to get me started in his trade.
:51:18
- What did he do?
- Sewed fur coats together,
when he could find work.
:51:23
There was this... factory.
It was a sweatshop.
:51:27
Third Street and Avenue B.
:51:30
- Still remember the address?
- I will never forget that place.
:51:34
It was the only work he knew,
and he hated it.
:51:37
- But he wanted you to work in it?
- What could he do?
:51:40
Hunger allows no choice.
:51:43
[Workers Shouting

:51:47
I'd hear him complain to my stepmother.
How he was cursed at, belittled.
:51:53
Always pushed to do more, and
denied the money he had coming.
:51:57
That was my father's world.
:51:59
It was going to be my world too...
