:45:00
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay. Come on over here.
:45:04
Okay, now bend down.
:45:07
- Slide your arms under his
like you're lifting a log.
- Okay.
:45:10
- Okay, now he can't
help you at all, honey.
- Like this?
:45:13
- Yeah, it has to be all you.
- All right.
:45:15
- Now lift. Okay.
- [Morrie Groaning]
:45:18
- Sorry. I'll get it.
- Okay, let him move.
:45:20
Okay, okay, good.
All right, I got ya.
:45:23
- I got ya. Okay.
- [Groaning Continues]
:45:26
- Okay.
- You got him.
:45:29
[Groans, Sighs]
:45:32
- Sorry. You all right?
- Oh, yeah.
:45:35
Sorry. I'll get better at it.
:45:38
[Morrie Mutters]
:45:44
Don't look so sad
because I'm gonna die, Mitch.
:45:47
Everybody's gonna die.
Even you.
:45:50
But most people don't believe it.
:45:52
They should have a bird
on their shoulder.
:45:54
That's what the Buddhists do.
:45:57
Just imagine a little bird
on your shoulder...
:46:00
and every day you say, "Is this the day
I'm gonna die, little bird?
:46:04
" Huh? Am I ready? Am I leading
the life I want to lead?
:46:09
Am I the person that I want to be?"
:46:15
If we accept the fact
that we can die at any time,
we'd lead our lives differently.
:46:19
So every day you say,
"Is this the day?"
:46:23
- Hmm?
- One sec. One sec.
:46:26
Okay, go ahead.
:46:28
[Morrie On Tape] If you did
have a bird on your shoulder...
:46:31
you wouldn't put off the things
closest to your heart.
:46:34
[Mitch Narrating] I didn't need
the recorder to hear his voice anymore.
:46:37
It was always in my mind now.
:46:40
I thought ofhis helpless weight
in my arms as I lifted him... -
:46:43
that frail, failing body...
:46:45
and the voice, the spirit inside...
:46:48
at its ruthless mercy.
