- [Phone Ringing]
- Janine, please don't go. Janine, wait.
:21:05
- Can... Obviously, we need to talk.
- [Pager Beeping]
:21:08
Obviously, we will talk.
I just need one minute, okay?
:21:11
Please. I love you. It's coming
in one minute. One minute!
:21:15
God. Please, just give
me a second. Please.
:21:18

- [Phones Ringing]
- It's just not a good time, Mitch.
:21:29
- Any other time, I'd say okay,
take a few days off, relax.
- No, you wouldn't.
:21:31
- We got play-offs,
we got tennis, spring training.
- I know.
:21:35
You wanna take some time, why don't you
cut back from one of your other jobs?
:21:38
- Walter...
- Do you people work here?
I want you on the road, Mitch.
:21:41
Walter, I need to be here.
It's personal, okay?
:21:44
Oh, Janine.
The marriage thing again.
:21:46
I could recommend
a hell of a counselor.
We got divorced anyway.
:21:50
- Walter, can I just...
- Look, Mitch, I need you.
Detroit needs you.
:21:53
I'm sorry about your problems,
but you know what?
The world doesn't stop.
:21:58
- Okay.
- No, no, no. Come on.
No ground rules.
:22:01
[Mitch Narrating]
I left Janine with promises.
:22:04
We'd talk. We'd get help
as soon as I got back.
:22:06
- Meanwhile, Walter was right.
The world didn't stop.
- I'll see you Friday.
:22:09
Guys, have you got time
for a couple questions?
:22:11
Guys... Sam, what happened
in the fourth quarter?
:22:14
Danny, was your knee
bothering you?
:22:16
[Mitch Narrating]
I remembered my promise to Morrie...
:22:18
but when would I find time
to keep it?
:22:20
The strike wasn't about money.
It was never about money.
:22:23
Gee, how-
how did we miss that?
:22:26
It was about our worth
as human beings.
:22:28
Our self-worth
isn't being validated.
:22:30
But you're not a player.
You wouldn't understand.
:22:33
[Bat Hits Ball]
:22:35
[Mitch Narrating] America
had become a bazaar of self-help.
:22:38
Books, TVshows,
hundred-dollar-an-hour experts...
:22:41
all of them with answers
to the big important questions.
:22:43
This is the final call for Boston,
Arista Air flight 211 now boarding,
Gate 103.
:22:46
[Mitch Narrating]
What did Morrie think of that?
:22:48
He wasn't in
the self-help business.
:22:51
He was standing on the tracks with
death's locomotive whistling toward him.
:22:54
His mind had become
a lightning rod for ideas.
:22:57
He saw things with incredible clarity.
I wanted that clarity.
