00:00:09,801 --> 00:00:12,888
(narrator)
YOU'RE TRAVELING
THROUGH ANOTHER DIMENSION.
3
00:00:12,971 --> 00:00:16,350
A DIMENSION NOT ONLY
OF SIGHT AND SOUND
BUT OF MIND.
4
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:20,103
A JOURNEY INTO A WONDROUS
LAND WHOSE BOUNDARIES ARE
THAT OF IMAGINATION.
5
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:22,231
YOUR NEXT STOP,
THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
6
00:00:33,575 --> 00:00:38,413
WE HAVE TALKED OF THE WORK
OF ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN.
7
00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:42,584
BORN...WHAT
YEAR, MR. GRAHAM?
8
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:43,961
WHAT YEAR, SIR?
9
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:45,796
PRECISELY THE QUESTION.
10
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:47,422
UM--
11
00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:49,299
SOMETIME THIS
CENTURY, I THINK.
12
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:52,052
CLOSE, MR. GRAHAM.
CLOSER THAN USUAL.
13
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:53,845
[laughter]
14
00:00:53,929 --> 00:00:57,599
ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN
WAS BORN, MR. GRAHAM,
15
00:00:57,683 --> 00:01:00,727
AND FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE REST OF THE CLASS,
16
00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:03,981
WAS BORN IN 1859.
17
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:06,775
HIS DEATH OCCURRED,
WHAT YEAR, MR. BUTLER?
18
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:10,320
UH--AROUND 1900, SIR.
19
00:01:10,404 --> 00:01:13,073
UPON MY SOUL,
YOUNG MR. BUTLER,
20
00:01:13,115 --> 00:01:15,576
YOU AND MR. GRAHAM
ARE KINDRED SPIRITS.
21
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:19,580
YOU ARE MASTERS
OF INEXACTNESS.
22
00:01:19,663 --> 00:01:24,585
ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN
DIED IN 1936.
23
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:28,005
ALL OF YOU WILL RECALL,
I'M QUITE SURE,
24
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:30,007
A SHROPSHIRE LAD.
25
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:33,468
A LITTLE OF WHICH
I'M NOW GOING TO
READ TO YOU.
26
00:01:37,723 --> 00:01:40,642
"WHEN I WAS
ONE AND TWENTY,
27
00:01:40,726 --> 00:01:44,354

00:01:51,528 --> 00:01:55,824
"GIVE PEARLS

"BUT KEEP YOUR

00:02:02,914 --> 00:02:04,833
"NO USE TO TALK TO ME.

'TIS TRUE."

THIS BEING THE
LAST AFTERNOON
OF THE SEMESTER
42
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:45,248
AND THREE DAYS BEFORE
THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS,
I THINK IT BEHOOVES ME
43
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:49,586
TO SHOW AT LEAST
A MINUTE DEGREE
OF COMPASSION
44
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,880
AND, UH, LET
YOU OUT EARLY.
45
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:56,718
I MIGHT ADD THAT
WHILST YOUR FINAL
EXAMINATION PAPERS
46
00:02:56,802 --> 00:02:59,846
ARE NOT YET READY
TO BE RETURNED TO YOU,
47
00:02:59,888 --> 00:03:03,100
YOU HAVE
ALL, AMAZINGLY
ENOUGH, PASSED.
48
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,060
OH, BOY.
49
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:10,440
YES. MY DELIGHT
IS ONLY EXCEEDED
BY MY SENSE OF SHOCK.
50
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:14,903
IT IS RARE, YOUNG MEN,
THAT IN 51 YEARS OF TEACHING
51
00:03:14,986 --> 00:03:19,074
I HAVE EVER
ENCOUNTERED
SUCH A CLASS
52
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,118
OF DUNDERHEADS.
53
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:25,747
BUT NICE DUNDERHEADS,
54
00:03:25,831 --> 00:03:30,585
AND POTENTIALLY FINE
YOUNG MEN WHO WILL
MAKE THEIR MARKS
55
00:03:30,669 --> 00:03:33,964
AND LEAVE
THEIR MARKS.
56
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,758
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

(narrator)
PROFESSOR ELLIS FOWLER,
58
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:41,722
A GENTLE, BOOKISH
GUIDE TO THE YOUNG
59
00:03:41,763 --> 00:03:44,975
WHO IS ABOUT TO DISCOVER
THAT LIFE STILL HAS
CERTAIN SURPRISES
60
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:48,145
AND THAT THE CAMPUS
OF THE ROCK SPRING
SCHOOL FOR BOYS
61
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:50,647
LIES IN A DIRECT PATH
TO ANOTHER INSTITUTION
62
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:54,651
COMMONLY REFERRED TO
AS THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
63
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:12,502
OH, CHARLES, MY
WARMEST REGARDS
TO YOUR FATHER.
64
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:15,130
SIR. COULD YOU STEP
INSIDE A MOMENT, PLEASE?
65
00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:17,424
WHY, YES, OF COURSE.
66
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:22,637
SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.
67
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:26,641
BE COMFORTABLE.
68
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,939
UH, AM I KEEPING YOU?
69
00:04:32,981 --> 00:04:36,151
OH, NO. NO,
NO, NO. IT'S--
70
00:04:36,234 --> 00:04:39,362
THERE'S A BROADCAST
OF HANDEL'S MESSIAH
ON THE RADIO AT 5:00,
71
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:41,948
AND I'D VERY MUCH
LIKE TO HEAR IT.
72
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:46,119
THAT'S A VERY LOVELY
THING THAT, UH--
73
00:04:46,161 --> 00:04:49,372
VERY, UH, YULE-LIKE.
74
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:52,709
YES, YES.
WELL, THIS
WON'T TAKE LONG.
75
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:56,338
PROFESSOR, YOU DID NOT
RESPOND TO THE LETTER
76
00:04:56,421 --> 00:04:58,215
THE TRUSTEES SENT
YOU LAST WEEK.
77
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:03,011
LETTER? UH--
OH. I'M TERRIBLY
SORRY, HEADMASTER.
78
00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:05,013
I'VE JUST REMEMBERED.
79
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:08,141
I HAVEN'T OPENED MY MAIL
FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
80
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:11,436
WELL, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN
SO BUSY. PREPARATION
FOR THE HOLIDAYS
81
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,689
AND RE-GRADING,
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
AND THAT SORT OF THING.
82
00:05:14,773 --> 00:05:18,735
THOUGH VERY I'M CERTAIN
I KNOW THE CONTENTS OF
THAT PARTICULAR LETTER.
83
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:20,987
AND, UH, YOUR REACTION?
84
00:05:21,071 --> 00:05:24,991
OH, WELL, NATURALLY,
I'LL GO ALONG.
85
00:05:25,075 --> 00:05:28,245
WELL, THAT'S
VERY PERSPICACIOUS
OF YOU, PROFESSOR.
86
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:31,540
I SHALL TELL THE TRUSTEES
THAT YOU'VE READ THEIR
COMMUNICATION
87
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:34,251
AND THAT YOU
AGREE WITH IT. NOW, AS
TO YOUR REPLACEMENT --
88
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,711
I WAS TELLING
MY HOUSEKEEPER
ONLY THE OTHER DAY,
89
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:40,924
I SHALL VERY LIKELY GO ON
TEACHING IN THIS PLACE
UNTIL I'M 100 YEARS OLD.
90
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:44,052
TWO YEARS AGO I
ACTUALLY TAUGHT
THE GRANDSON
91
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:47,597
OF ONE OF MY FORMER
PUPILS. THE GRANDSON,
MARK YOU.
92
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:51,768
ON MY WORD, I THINK
IT'S NOT BEYOND THE
BOUNDS OF POSSIBILITY
93
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:54,938
THAT I SHALL LIVE TO
TEACH A GREAT GRANDSON
ONE OF THESE DAYS.
94
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:59,734
IT WAS THE REYNOLDS BOY.
YOU KNOW HIM. HIS FATHER
WAS DAMON REYNOLDS,
95
00:05:59,818 --> 00:06:03,613
AND HIS GRANDFATHER,
UH, OH, DEAR.
96
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:09,202
REGULAR RASCAL OF A BOY.
WOULD PERSIST IN CALLING
ME "WEIRD BEARD."
97
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:11,371
DIDN'T KNOW I KNEW
HE WAS CALLING
ME THAT.
98
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:14,374
PROFESSOR FOWLER,
I THINK IT BEST
99
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:17,419
YOU READ
THAT COMMUNICATION
THE TRUSTEES SENT.
100
00:06:17,502 --> 00:06:20,589
OH, YES. YES, I WILL.
OH, INDEED, I WILL,
MR. HEADMASTER.
101
00:06:20,672 --> 00:06:22,716
THOUGH IT'S AN ODD
FORMALITY, ISN'T IT?
102
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:26,219
THIS CONTRACT
SIGNING YEAR
AFTER YEAR.
103
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:30,432
YOU CAN TELL THE TRUSTEES
FROM ME THAT OLD FOWLER
WON'T DESERT THE SHIP.
104
00:06:30,515 --> 00:06:35,228
NO, SIR. HE'LL STAY
AT THE WHEEL THROUGH
FAIR WEATHER AND FOUL.
105
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:38,648
WATCH THE CREWS
COME ABOARD AND
THEN DEPART.
106
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:42,152
PROFESSOR.
PROFESSOR FOWLER,
PLEASE HEAR ME OUT.
107
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,112
HM?
108
00:06:44,195 --> 00:06:48,950
THE COMMUNICATION
FROM THE TRUSTEES
WAS NOT A CONTRACT.
109
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:52,996
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IT WAS A NOTICE
OF TERMINATION.
110
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:56,499
YOU'VE BEEN
ON THE FACULTY
FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS.
111
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:59,961
YOU REACHED THE NORMAL
RETIREMENT AGE SEVERAL
YEARS AGO.
112
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:04,424
WE DECIDED AT OUR
WINTER MEETING THAT
PERHAPS A YOUNGER MAN--
113
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,848
IF YOU COULD HAVE BEEN
AT THAT MEETING, SIR,
114
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:15,518
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY
PROUD OF THE THINGS SAID
ABOUT YOU AND YOUR WORK.
115
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:20,941
A TEACHER OF INCALCULABLE
VALUE TO ALL OF US, BUT
YOUTH MUST BE SERVED.
116
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:24,110
CHANGING OF THE GUARD.
THAT SORT OF THING.
117
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:26,279
AM I TO UNDERSTAND, UH,
118
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:30,283
MR. HEADMASTER,
THAT I-I--
119
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:34,788
MY CONTRACT IS
NOT TO BE RENEWED?
120
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:38,041
I'M...DISCHARGED?
121
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:42,545
DISCHARGED?
OH, NO, PROFESSOR,
PLEASE DON'T CALL IT THAT.
122
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:47,133
IT'S RETIREMENT
AND AT HALF SALARY
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
123
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:53,306
REST OF MY--
124
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:13,034
WELL,
125
00:08:13,118 --> 00:08:17,831
IT CERTAINLY
PROVES ONE THING.
ON MY WORD IT DOES.
126
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:21,418
PROVES THAT A MAN
SHOULD READ HIS MAIL.
127
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:24,754
[laughing]
YES.
128
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:26,381
CERTAINLY SHOULD
129
00:08:27,716 --> 00:08:30,093
READ HIS MAIL.
130
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:41,229
MERRY CHRISTMAS,
PROFESSOR.
131
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:42,856
HAVE A HAPPY
HOLIDAY, SIR.
132
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:46,526
MR. McTAVISH,
MR. HALIDAY,
133
00:08:46,609 --> 00:08:48,528
HAVE A VERY
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
134
00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:50,947
DON'T EAT TOO
MUCH, UH, TURKEY.
135
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:54,159
YOU'RE FINE YOUNG
MEN, BOTH OF YOU.
136
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:58,788
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
137
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:01,624
[chuckles]
138
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:04,544
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
139
00:09:06,421 --> 00:09:08,757
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH OLD WEIRD BEARD?
140
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,967
HE WAS CRYING.
141
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:13,094
DID YOU NOTICE THAT?
142
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:15,221
HE WAS CRYING.
143
00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:43,541
[music playing on radio]
144
00:09:57,847 --> 00:10:00,683
WOULD YOU CARE FOR
SOME MORE TEA, SIR?
145
00:10:00,767 --> 00:10:02,602
NO, THANK YOU.
146
00:10:02,685 --> 00:10:04,771
DINNER WILL BE READY
IN A HALF HOUR.
147
00:10:04,854 --> 00:10:07,440
WHY DON'T YOU
TAKE A LITTLE NAP?
148
00:10:07,482 --> 00:10:09,359
I KNOW I'M BEING
VERY DIFFICULT,
149
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:12,654
BUT DO YOU THINK
WE MIGHT PUT OFF
DINNER FOR TONIGHT?
150
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:14,948
I HAVEN'T MUCH
OF AN APPETITE.
151
00:10:15,031 --> 00:10:17,659
BUT, PROFESSOR,
YOU'VE GOT TO
EAT SOMETHING.
152
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:19,661
PERHAPS LATER.
153
00:10:19,744 --> 00:10:21,871
I COULD KEEP IT
WARM FOR YOU.
154
00:10:21,955 --> 00:10:23,957
WHY DON'T YOU
TAKE A LITTLE NAP?
155
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,794
TIMOTHY ARNOLD.
I NEVER THOUGHT
THAT ONE WOULD PASS.
156
00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:32,132
HAD AN INCORRIGIBLE HABIT
OF CHEWING BUBBLE GUM
AND THEN POPPING IT.
157
00:10:32,215 --> 00:10:34,217
SOUNDED LIKE
A HOWITZER.
158
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,804
I MUST SAY,
IT SOUNDED EXACTLY
LIKE A HOWITZER.
159
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:40,390
WILLIAM HOOD.
LITTLE BILL HOOD.
160
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:43,351
SMALLEST BOY EVER TO PLAY
VARSITY FOOTBALL HERE.
161
00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:46,312
HAD A PENCHANT
FOR SHELLEY.
162
00:10:46,396 --> 00:10:49,482
ARTIE BEECHCROFT.
163
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:54,028
NOW, THERE WAS A LAD.
THERE WAS A STAUNCH LAD.
164
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:57,198
FULL OF HEART, THAT ONE.
165
00:10:57,282 --> 00:11:00,326
NOW, WAS HE
THE ONE THAT--
166
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:03,204
OH, YES,
I REMEMBER NOW.
167
00:11:03,288 --> 00:11:07,876
HIS FATHER WROTE
ME A LETTER. HE WAS
KILLED AT IWO JIMA.
168
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:13,256
FRECKLE-FACED LITTLE
FELLOW. HE HAD A MOST
INFECTIOUS GRIN.
169
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:15,508
NEVER STOPPED GRINNING.
170
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:19,929
MINUTE HE WALKED
INTO THE CLASSROOM
HE JUST HAD TO SMILE.
171
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:23,391
THEY ALL COME
AND GO LIKE GHOSTS.
172
00:11:23,474 --> 00:11:27,854
FACES, NAMES, SMILES.
173
00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:31,691
FUNNY THINGS THEY
SAID OR SAD THINGS,
174
00:11:31,733 --> 00:11:33,943
OR THE POIGNANT ONES.
175
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:39,365
I GAVE THEM NOTHING.
176
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:42,035
I GAVE THEM
NOTHING AT ALL.
177
00:11:42,076 --> 00:11:45,955
POETRY THAT LEFT
THEIR MINDS THE MINUTE
THEY THEMSELVES LEFT.
178
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:49,959
AGED SLOGANS THAT
WERE OUT OF DATE
WHEN I TAUGHT THEM.
179
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:54,756
QUOTATIONS DEAR
TO ME THAT WERE
MEANINGLESS TO THEM.
180
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:56,716
I WAS A FAILURE,
MRS. LANDERS,
181
00:11:56,799 --> 00:12:00,470
AN ABJECT,
MISERABLE FAILURE.
182
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,889
I WALKED FROM
CLASS TO CLASS,
183
00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:08,770
AN OLD RELIC
TEACHING BY ROTE
TO UNHEARING EARS,
184
00:12:08,853 --> 00:12:11,648
UNWILLING HEADS,
185
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:14,943
AS AN ABJECT,
DISMAL FAILURE.
186
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:17,237
I MOVED NOBODY.
187
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:20,156
I MOTIVATED NOBODY.
188
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,495
I LEFT NO IMPRINT
ON ANYBODY.
189
00:12:29,207 --> 00:12:33,169
NOW, WHERE DO YOU
SUPPOSE I EVER
GOT THE IDEA
190
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:36,089
THAT I WAS
ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING?
191
00:12:38,007 --> 00:12:40,760
THINK I'LL TAKE
THAT NAP NOW.
192
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:45,265
AND I APOLOGIZE
193
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:49,769
FOR PUTTING OFF
OUR DINNER LIKE THIS.

PROFESSOR FOWLER?
199
00:13:49,746 --> 00:13:51,873
WELL, MR. MANN,
200
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:56,336
I WONDER IF YOU EVER
HAD ANY SELF-DOUBTS.
201
00:13:56,419 --> 00:13:59,380
I GUESS NOT.

I HAVE WON NO VICTORY,

00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:19,525
AND NOW I AM
ASHAMED TO DIE.

WELL, THAT'S ODD.

00:14:43,466 --> 00:14:46,219
WHY WOULD THEY RING NOW?
211
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:49,597
THERE'S NO SPECIAL
ASSEMBLY NOW.
212
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,933
THERE'S NOTHING
OF THE SORT.

I REALLY AM
DELIGHTED TO SEE YOU.

00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:07,777
I'VE MISSED YOU, ARTIE.

I WAS KILLED
AT IWO JIMA, SIR.
THAT'S RIGHT, PROFESSOR.
237
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:27,880
I WANTED TO SHOW
YOU THIS, PROFESSOR.
238
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:30,758
IT'S THE CONGRESSIONAL
MEDAL OF HONOR.
239
00:17:30,841 --> 00:17:34,387
IT WAS AWARDED
TO ME, POSTHUMOUSLY.
240
00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:39,100
VERY PRIDEFUL THING,
MR. BEECHCROFT.
241
00:17:39,183 --> 00:17:42,395
VERY PRIDEFUL THING.
242
00:17:43,771 --> 00:17:45,773
AND I AM INDEED
PROUD OF YOU.

00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:48,901
YOU WERE ALWAYS
A FINE YOUNG MAN.

I DIED IN ROANOAKE,
VIRGINIA, SIR.

00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:15,177
I WAS CONDUCTING
RESEARCH ON X-RAY
TREATMENT FOR CANCER.
252
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:19,599
I WAS EXPOSED
TO RADIOACTIVITY AND
I CONTRACTED LEUKEMIA.
253
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,934
I REMEMBER.
254
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,854
I DO REMEMBER
NOW, BARTLETT.
255
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:29,358
THAT WAS AN
INCREDIBLY BRAVE
THING YOU DID, BARTLETT.
256
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:32,945
I KEPT REMEMBERING,
PROFESSOR, SOMETHING
YOU TOLD ME.
257
00:18:32,987 --> 00:18:34,947
A QUOTE, A POET
NAMED WALTER.
258
00:18:35,031 --> 00:18:38,492
HOWARD ARNOLD WALTER.
I REMEMBER.
259
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,786
HE SAID,
260
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:44,290
"I WOULD BE TRUE,
FOR THERE ARE THOSE
WHO TRUST ME.
261
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:47,627
"I WOULD BE PURE,
FOR THERE ARE
THOSE WHO CARE.
262
00:18:47,710 --> 00:18:50,046
"I WOULD BE STRONG
263
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:53,132
"FOR THERE IS
MUCH TO SUFFER.
264
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:56,385
"AND I WOULD BE BRAVE
265
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:58,638
FOR THERE IS
MUCH TO DARE."
266
00:19:00,097 --> 00:19:02,391
I NEVER FORGOT
THAT, PROFESSOR.
267
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:05,728
THAT WAS SOMETHING
THAT YOU, YOU LEFT ME,
268
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:07,480
AND I NEVER FORGOT IT.
269
00:19:07,563 --> 00:19:09,398

00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:12,193
VERY DECENT OF YOU,

00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:16,197
BARTLETT, TO SAY THAT.
272
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,701
THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT
THIS MEDAL TO SHOW YOU,
PROFESSOR FOWLER.
273
00:19:20,785 --> 00:19:23,037
BECAUSE IT'S
PARTLY YOURS.

THE FIRST ONE
TO DIE, PROFESSOR.

00:19:50,106 --> 00:19:52,775
I WAS AT PEARL HARBOR
ON THE ARIZONA. I WAS

I REMEMBER, DICKIE.

00:19:55,319 --> 00:20:00,032
YOU SAVED A DOZEN MEN.
GOT THEM OUT OF A BOILER
ROOM AFTER THEY WERE TRAPPED.

00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:02,368
LOST YOUR OWN
LIFE DOING IT.
286
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:04,537
YOU WERE AT MY ELBOW
THAT DAY, PROFESSOR.

KNOWN IT, BUT YOU
WERE THERE.

TO THINK IT OVER,
MRS. LANDERS, UH,
320

I REALLY THINK
I WILL RETIRE.

HAVE LEFT MY MARK.

I'VE THROWN DOWN

THE VICTORIES,
MRS. LANDERS,
329

TO WIN THEM, SO, PERHAPS,
IN SOME SMALL MEASURE

THEY ARE VICTORIES
I CAN SHARE.
