:45:01
So you'll be ready when
you'll get your legs to working again?
:45:04
Exactly.
:45:11
Excuse me, are you
Mr. Roosevelt?
:45:13
Yes, who are you?
:45:14
My name is
Benjamin Pendergrast.
:45:16
Come on in,
Benjamin Pendergrast.
:45:18
I've come to see
if you could speak
:45:20
at this year's graduation ceremony
at the schoolhouse.
:45:23
You being so famous
and all.
:45:26
Well, I'll be damned.
:45:29
- Would you be available?
- Are you graduating?
:45:32
No, sir.
I'm the principal.
:45:36
I see.
:45:42
Y'all take your seats.
:45:44
Children, settle down.
Go on, take your seats.
:45:46
Now that we're all here today,
congratulations to our graduates.
:45:50
Hear hear!
:45:55
I'd like to introduce
a very special guest speaker,
:45:58
Mr. Franklin
Roosevelt.
:46:01
Thank you.
:46:03
Um, thank you,
my friends.
:46:07
Now you know at Groton,
where I graduated from high school,
:46:11
our beloved headmaster
:46:15
encouraged his students
to enter public life.
:46:24
L... I chose to attend Harvard
for my undergraduate work and then...
:46:30
Columbia for my law degree.
:46:35
I followed
my headmaster's advice
:46:38
and sought a career
in public life.
:46:45
But circumstances
beyond my control...
:46:55
have made that...
:46:59
very difficult.
