:49:01
- as though nothing's happened?
- Something has happened.
:49:04
Look, Janine, I have
something to say to you...
:49:07
and I really can't do it here.
:49:10
W-Will you come home
with me? Please?
:49:13
I can't. I'm sorry.
:49:16
- Janine, come on. Please.
- Morrie sounds wonderful.
:49:20
He's done something for you.
I can see that.
:49:22
And I wish I could've met him.
But it's just too late.
:49:25
- Janine? Janine, please.
Can we just talk for once?
- [Engine Starts]

A few months ago, Shawn Daley,
18, a hot college prospect,
had a brilliant future.
:49:50
Cut to last night: Sports car,
drinking, drugs, tree.
:49:54
- Well, you know the story.
- If they cancel my scholarship,
it's like my life is over.
:49:58
- I'm dead.
- Yeah, right, Shawn.
You're 18, in perfect health.
:50:02
You maybe blow a scholarship,
and you think you're dead?
:50:05
You got your whole life left
to screw up in, you stupid idiot.
:50:09
On his way home from yet another night
of toasting his success...
:50:12
Shawn crashed his new GTO "jockmobile"
into an innocent tree.
:50:16
Shawn, who managed
to squeak past his SATs...
:50:20
had no such luck
with his drug and alcohol tests.
:50:25
With no daily deadlines, noJanine,
I had lots of time on my hands.
:50:30
I thought of Morrie counting his
breaths, what time meant to him.
:50:33
[Morrie] Work, money, ambition.
We bury ourselves in these things.
:50:38
But we never stand back and say,
"Is this what I want?"
:50:42
[Mitch]
Unless somebody teaches us to.
:50:44
[Morrie]
We all need teachers, Mitch.
:50:49
- Why'd you become a teacher?
- I needed a job.
:50:52
Lots of jobs pay better than teacher.
You could've been a doctor or a lawyer.
:50:56
I hate the sight of blood.
And I hate lawyers.
:50:58
[Laughs] So what made you
become a teacher?
