:47:00
what I was doing seemed to...
:47:02
make sense to people.
:47:04
It was like an alarm
went off in my head.

:47:07
I said, "Here's a guy
that's got his act together.

:47:10
Here's somebody
who has the answer."

:47:11
I'll follow you
anywhere, Mr. Gump.

:47:13
So I got company.
:47:17
And after that,
I got more company.

:47:20
And then, even
more people joined in.

:47:25
Somebody later told me
:47:27
it gave people hope.
:47:30
Now--
:47:31
Now, I don't know
anything about that,

:47:33
but some of those people asked me
:47:36
if I could help them out.
:47:38
I was wondering
if you might help me.

:47:40
I'm in the bumper sticker business.
:47:42
I need a good slogan,
:47:44
and since you've
been so inspirational,

:47:45
I thought you might
be able to help me--

:47:48
Whoa, man! You just ran
:47:50
through a big pile of dog shit!
:47:53
It happens.
:47:55
What, shit?
:47:57
Sometimes.
:48:01
And someyears later,
I heard that that fella

:48:03
did come up with
a bumper sticker slogan

:48:05
and made a lot of money
off of it.

:48:09
Another time,
I was running along.

:48:11
Somebody who'd lost all his money
in the T-shirt business,

:48:13
he wanted toput my face
on a T-shirt,

:48:17
but he couldn't draw that well,
:48:19
and he didn't have a camera.
:48:21
Here, use this one.
Nobody likes that color anyway .

:48:24

:48:28
Have a nice day .
:48:31
Someyears later, I found out
:48:33
that that man did come up
with an idea for a T-shirt.

:48:37
He made a lot of money.
:48:41
Anyway, like I was saying,
:48:43
I had a lot of company.
:48:46
My mama always said,
:48:47
"You got to put the past
behind you

:48:50
before you can move on. "
:48:52
And I think that's
what my running was all about.

:48:58
I had run for three years...
