He just lives it. 399 00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:40,528 I'm making a table. Would you put it in the middle there? 400 00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:42,363 All right. 401 00:29:42,448 --> 00:29:44,407 Thank you. 402 00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:46,242 - Alida? - Hmm? 403 00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:50,496 What did you mean when you said that Ron taught Mick? 404 00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:55,251 Well, it's ─ it's kind of hard to explain. 405 00:29:56,879 --> 00:30:00,506 I guess all of us are looking for security these days. 406 00:30:01,884 --> 00:30:04,927 You see, Mick thought ─ well, like a lot of other people ─ 407 00:30:05,012 --> 00:30:09,849 that if he had money and an important position it would make him secure. 408 00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:13,186 Then when he met Ron who didn't have either one and didn't seem to need them... 409 00:30:13,270 --> 00:30:14,979 he was completely baffled. 410 00:30:15,772 --> 00:30:19,692 The answer was so simple, it took Mick a long time to figure it out. 411 00:30:20,736 --> 00:30:22,820 What was the answer? 412 00:30:24,072 --> 00:30:27,325 "To thine own self be true." That's Ron. 413 00:30:28,744 --> 00:30:31,245 You see, Ron's security comes from inside himself. 414 00:30:31,330 --> 00:30:33,247 And nothing can ever take it away from him. 415 00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:37,919 Ron absolutely refuses to let unimportant things become important. 416 00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:42,423 And that's what Mick and I were doing. We were. 417 00:30:42,508 --> 00:30:46,260 In fact, things got so bad between us that... 418 00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:49,180 right before he went to Korea we were thinking of a separation. 419 00:30:49,264 --> 00:30:53,017 Oh, no. You seem so happy. 420 00:30:53,644 --> 00:30:57,939 Not then. We weren't happy then. 421 00:30:58,732 --> 00:31:02,318 Our whole life was devoted to keeping up with the Joneses. 422 00:31:02,986 --> 00:31:06,697 But when Mick was wounded and had a lot of time to think... 423 00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:09,909 he decided to get off that merry-go-round. 424 00:31:09,993 --> 00:31:12,787 When he came back, he put it right up to me. 425 00:31:12,871 --> 00:31:14,664 - Alida! - Yeah? 426 00:31:14,748 --> 00:31:17,625 My room's a mess, but don't bother.
