What means something,
what really means something, Warren...
43
00:05:27,618 --> 00:05:32,539
...is the knowledge that you devoted
your life to something meaningful.

...terrific people.
1332
01:51:55,583 --> 01:51:57,209
Terrific.
1333
01:51:57,836 --> 01:52:03,298
And in conclusion,
I just wanna say on this special day...
1334
01:52:03,466 --> 01:52:06,885
...this very special day...
1335
01:52:07,053 --> 01:52:09,972
...that I am very...
1336
01:52:11,850 --> 01:52:13,851
...pleased.
1337
01:52:20,358 --> 01:52:21,775
Hear, hear!

01:52:21,943 --> 01:52:23,402

Yeah. Hear, hear!

1341
01:53:08,072 --> 01:53:11,825
If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
1342
01:53:11,993 --> 01:53:15,329
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
1343
01:53:15,497 --> 01:53:19,166
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
1344
01:53:19,334 --> 01:53:22,628
If you get in with the
right bunch of fellows
1345
01:53:22,796 --> 01:53:26,757
People see you havin' fun
Just a-lyin' in the sun

01:53:26,925 --> 01:53:30,093
Tell them that you like it this way
1347
01:53:30,261 --> 01:53:33,972
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed

WARREN:
Dear Ndugu.
1350
01:53:53,701 --> 01:53:58,205
You'll be glad to know that Jeannie's
wedding came off without a hitch.
1351
01:53:59,415 --> 01:54:03,043
Right now she and Randall
are on their way to sunny Orlando...
1352
01:54:03,211 --> 01:54:05,838
...on my nickel, of course.
1353
01:54:06,005 --> 01:54:09,508
As for me, I'm headed back to Omaha.
1354
01:54:09,676 --> 01:54:13,887
I'm driving straight through this time
and I've made only one stop:
1355
01:54:14,389 --> 01:54:19,518
The impressive new arch
over the interstate at Kearney, Nebraska.
1356
01:54:19,686 --> 01:54:25,274
An arch that commemorates the courage
and determination of the pioneers...
1357
01:54:25,441 --> 01:54:29,570
...who crossed the state
on their way west.

WARREN:
You've really got to see it to believe it.
1360
01:54:34,534 --> 01:54:37,744
And it kind of got me thinking.
1361
01:54:38,288 --> 01:54:39,872
Looking at all that history...
1362
01:54:40,039 --> 01:54:43,709
...and reflecting on the achievements
of people long ago...
1363
01:54:43,877 --> 01:54:47,546
...kind of put things into perspective.
1364
01:54:48,464 --> 01:54:51,967
My trip to Denver, for instance,
is so insignificant...
1365
01:54:52,135 --> 01:54:55,637
...compared to the journeys
that others have taken...
1366
01:54:55,805 --> 01:54:58,307
...the bravery that they've shown...
1367
01:54:58,474 --> 01:55:01,351
...the hardships they've endured.
1368
01:55:05,398 --> 01:55:09,359
I know we're all pretty small
in the big scheme of things.
1369
01:55:09,527 --> 01:55:14,781
And I suppose the most you can hope for
is to make some kind of difference.
1370
01:55:14,949 --> 01:55:18,785
But what kind of difference
have I made?
1371
01:55:18,953 --> 01:55:22,706
What in the world is better
because of me?
1372
01:55:24,167 --> 01:55:27,377
When I was out in Denver,
I tried to do the right thing...
1373
01:55:27,545 --> 01:55:31,381
...tried to convince Jeannie
she was making a big mistake...
1374
01:55:31,549 --> 01:55:34,635
...but I failed.
1375
01:55:37,430 --> 01:55:42,684
Now she's married to that nincompoop
and there's nothing I can do about it.
1376
01:55:45,355 --> 01:55:50,984
I am weak and I am a failure.
1377
01:55:51,986 --> 01:55:55,155
There's just no getting around it.
1378
01:55:58,910 --> 01:56:02,454
Relatively soon, I will die.
1379
01:56:02,622 --> 01:56:07,000
Maybe in 20 years, maybe tomorrow.
1380
01:56:07,168 --> 01:56:09,336
It doesn't matter.
1381
01:56:11,130 --> 01:56:14,758
Once I am dead
and everyone who knew me dies too...
1382
01:56:14,926 --> 01:56:19,179
...it will be as though
I never even existed.
1383
01:56:20,723 --> 01:56:23,892
What difference has my life made
to anyone?
1384
01:56:24,060 --> 01:56:26,853
None that I can think of.
1385
01:56:27,188 --> 01:56:29,731
None at all.
1386
01:56:31,734 --> 01:56:34,277

Dear Mr. Warren Schmidt.

I work in a small village
near the town of Mbeya in Tanzania.

One of the children I care for is
little Ndugu Umbo, the boy you sponsor.
1393
01:57:58,738 --> 01:58:03,116
Ndugu is a very intelligent boy
and very loving.
1394
01:58:03,284 --> 01:58:05,118
He is an orphan.
1395
01:58:05,536 --> 01:58:09,915
Recently, he needed medical attention
for an infection of the eye...
1396
01:58:10,083 --> 01:58:12,209
...but he's better now.
1397
01:58:12,376 --> 01:58:16,421
He loves to eat melon
and he loves to paint.
1398
01:58:16,589 --> 01:58:21,593
Ndugu and I want you to know
that he receives all of your letters.
1399
01:58:21,761 --> 01:58:25,972
He hopes that you are happy in your life
and healthy.
1400
01:58:26,140 --> 01:58:31,686
He thinks of you every day
and he wants very much your happiness.
1401
01:58:32,021 --> 01:58:36,108
Ndugu is only 6 years old
and cannot read or write...
1402
01:58:36,275 --> 01:58:40,153
...but he has made for you a painting.
1403
01:58:41,405 --> 01:58:44,491
He hopes that
you will like his painting.
1404
01:58:44,659 --> 01:58:49,329
Yours sincerely, Sister Nadine Gautier.
