Then I saw Mr. Stevens.
:49:05
I've never seen him look
that way before. Never.
:49:10
I knew something was very wrong.
:49:12
It was like somebody
stuck a knife in my heart.
:49:17
I thought, "Please, God, I hope it's not....
:49:20
"I'm afraid it is." Because we all knew
he was going in the race.
:49:24
I prayed so hard,
and I saw him the day before the race.
:49:28
He brought me his pink shirt...
:49:30
and said,
"Keep this for me until I get back. "
:49:33
I said, "Of course, I will. "
:49:36
I had the strangest feeling when he left.
:49:41
I'll never be able to explain it
or put it into words.
:49:46
I just was so afraid
I'd never see him again.

and grandchildren growing up.
:50:11
Everybody can relate to that.
:50:13
It's been said of my father
that he was a very good listener...
:50:17
and he was always interested
in a good idea.
:50:20
But once he made up his mind,
it was like the sun going down.
:50:24
You can't find films like that today.
:50:27
You have to go back 40 years ago
to get those kind of films.
:50:31
Giant, it had it all.
:50:33
He made films, not just for 1956.
:50:37
He used to say, "If we spend some time
on this, and take some care with this...
:50:43
"this might be a film people
will be interested in 25 years from now. "
:50:48
I was a young man
when he said that to me.
:50:51
To sit here now and realize
that it's 40 years later...
:50:55
and he made a film that has fascinated...
