:52:01
- except I found out something that day.
- [Gasping]

:52:04
- [Mitch] That you'd
do anything but that.
- Something else.

:52:08
It's when I learned
I had asthma.

:52:10
- [Laughing]
- 'Course, they thought
I was just a crybaby...

:52:14
- that I was scared.
- [Gasping Continues]

:52:17
They were right about my being scared,
but there was something else.

:52:20
I made a vow that I would
never do work that used people...

:52:24
that hurt them
and degraded them.

:52:27
I was never gonna make money
off the sweat and pain of others.

:52:33
- Tsk. So, in a way,
you owe your father.
- Yeah.

:52:36
My-My-My stepmother, Eva...
:52:39
- uh, she was just the opposite.
- Loz der moyekh trakhtn.

:52:41
Everything I love about
education I learned from her.

:52:45
The father of our country is?
:52:48
- [Slurping]
- [Young Morrie] Washington?

:52:50
It's what I call
the tension of opposites.

:52:53
- [Mitch] The tension of...
- [Morrie] Opposites.

:52:55
Life pulling you back
and forth like a rubber band.

:53:00
Pull you one way, you think
that's what you want to do.

:53:03
Pull you another way, you think
that's what you have to do.

:53:05
- Sounds like a wrestling match.
- You could describe life that way.

:53:11
- So, who wins?
- Love. Love always wins.

:53:16
You don't believe that?
:53:19
I don't know. Maybe I don't. I mean,
have you looked at the news lately?

:53:22
Love's not exactly racking up
the gold medals out there.

:53:26
Maybe the game isn't over yet.
:53:31
- What are we... We're through?
- Coach, can I talk to you
for a second as a friend?

:53:36
That's the way we always talk.
Now, why did you stop the tape?

:53:39
Well, because this is, uh...
Uh, I need a little help here.

:53:44
Um, I bought a ring forJanine...
an engagement ring.

:53:46
Congratulations! Does this mean
I finally get to meet her? [Coughs]

:53:50
Well, um... Look, I'm ready
to make the plunge.

:53:54
I really am. I'm talkin' marriage,
family, the whole nine...

:53:57
Everything I've been putting off
up to this point, basically. But, um...

:53:59
Okay, I take her way too much
for granted. I always have. I know that.
