:41:01
[Morrie] That's how I learned
that my mother had died.
:41:05
I've still got the telegram.
:41:09
It's all that's left
of my mother, except memories.
:41:14
So you grew up
with your father?
:41:17
My father... He was an immigrant
from Russia, a very silent man.
:41:22
He never showed
what he really felt.
:41:25
After my mother died, he...
he'd come home from work...
:41:29
when he could get work...
:41:31
and he'd never
come in the house.
:41:34
He'd stay outside,
read the newspaper...
:41:38
until he knew I was asleep.
:41:41
What was he feeling?
See, I never knew.
:41:44
What... Was he in pain?
Was he suffering? I...
:41:48
All I knew was that...
that I needed his love.
:41:51
I needed him to hold me
so I wouldn't be so afraid.
:41:55
[Sighs]
:41:57
Never got it, though, did you?
:42:00
No. Not from him.
:42:04
He remarried
about a year later.
:42:08
[Speaking Russian]
:42:10
[Morrie] 'Course I resented her
at first. I pushed her away.
:42:13
[Yiddish]
:42:15
But she was
a wonderful woman.
:42:19
And from her, after I stopped being
such a little smart-ass...
:42:23
- ** [Singing In Yiddish]
- I finally began to get
the love that I'd been missing.
:42:27
** [Singing Continues]
:42:32
[Mitch] What about your father?
Did things get better?
:42:36
[Morrie]
He did something...
:42:38
God, I found
very, very hard to forgive.
:42:41
He said I had a new mother...
:42:45
and that I should forget.
:42:47
He wouldn't even let me talk
about my mother.
:42:51
It was like she'd never existed.
[Sobbing]

- Need help here.
- I think we should stop.
