01:30:38,275 I've been one all my life. 1040 01:30:38,391 --> 01:30:41,190 I've always appreciated how you could compare a player 1041 01:30:41,353 --> 01:30:44,857 in one era to a player from another, 1042 01:30:46,024 --> 01:30:48,994 how what Babe Ruth was able to accomplish 1043 01:30:49,152 --> 01:30:54,124 is just as understandable and awesome right now 1044 01:30:54,282 --> 01:30:56,284 as it was back in the day. 1045 01:30:57,619 --> 01:31:01,294 How the traditions of the game have been maintained through the years. 1046 01:31:02,374 --> 01:31:06,629 There's a... kind of religion of the rules. 1047 01:31:08,421 --> 01:31:11,891 And, just like in baseball, 1048 01:31:12,050 --> 01:31:14,894 I've always believed in the tradition of building... 1049 01:31:16,471 --> 01:31:18,314 and the religion of rules. 1050 01:31:22,477 --> 01:31:25,697 My father taught me how to see lumber in a living tree. 1051 01:31:27,107 --> 01:31:31,829 Truth in a wall that was plumb or a corner that was square. 1052 01:31:37,117 --> 01:31:39,336 I don't mean to put myself above the law, 1053 01:31:41,204 --> 01:31:43,502 and I never have... 1054 01:31:45,125 --> 01:31:46,502 until now. 1055 01:31:49,587 --> 01:31:51,510 I'm too old for this nonsense. 1056 01:31:53,466 --> 01:31:55,139 My house is sound. 1057 01:31:57,303 --> 01:32:00,523 My wife is due to get out of the hospital next week, and, uh... 1058 01:32:01,975 --> 01:32:03,352 options are limited. 1059 01:32:05,603 --> 01:32:07,276 We're going to move into our house. 1060 01:32:09,566 --> 01:32:10,567 So... 1061 01:32:12,485 --> 01:32:16,160 it looks like... either I'm going to jail... 1062 01:32:18,324 --> 01:32:19,951 or I'm going home. 1063 01:32:22,912 --> 01:32:27,167 Either way, I can sleep with a clear conscience. 1064 01:32:39,554 --> 01:32:42,307 And after the storm 1065 01:32:45,268 --> 01:32:48,397 I run and run as the rains come 1066 01:32:48,563 --> 01:32:50,986 And I look up 1067 01:32:52,192 --> 01:32:54,411 I look up 1068 01:32:55,737 --> 01:33:00,584 On my knees and out of luck I look up 1069 01:33:03,203 --> 01:33:07,003 Night has always pushed up day 1070 01:33:09,375 --> 01:33:12,720 You must know life to see decay 1071 01:33:12,879 --> 01:33:15,428 But I won't rot 1072 01:33:16,883 --> 01:33:18,601 I won't rot 1073 01:33:19,886 --> 01:33:22,890 Not this mind and not this heart 1074 01:33:23,056 --> 01:33:25,229 I won't rot 1075 01:33:27,769 --> 01:33:31,023 And I took you by the hand 1076 01:33:32,440 --> 01:33:34,317 And we stood tall 1077 01:33:35,944 --> 01:33:39,039 And remembered our own land 1078 01:33:40,281 --> 01:33:42,409 What we lived for 1079 01:33:47,747 --> 01:33:51,047 And there will come a time you'll see 1080 01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:53,382 With no more tears 1081 01:33:53,545 --> 01:33:57,846 And love will not break your heart 1082 01:33:58,007 --> 01:33:59,930 And dismiss your fears 1083 01:34:00,093 --> 01:34:02,471 Get over your hill 1084 01:34:02,637 --> 01:34:05,811 And see what you find there 1085 01:34:05,974 --> 01:34:08,818 With grace in your heart 1086 01:34:08,977 --> 01:34:12,823 And flowers in your hair 1087 01:34:26,703 --> 01:34:29,297 And I won't die alone 1088 01:34:30,582 --> 01:34:32,505 And be left there 1089 01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:37,009 Well I guess I'll just go home 1090 01:34:38,548 --> 01:34:40,425 Oh God knows where 1091 01:34:42,010 --> 01:34:44,980 Because death is just so full 1092 01:34:46,389 --> 01:34:48,312 And man so small 1093 01:34:49,767 --> 01:34:52,691 Well I'm scared of what's behind 1094 01:34:54,147 --> 01:34:55,945 And what's before 1095 01:35:01,321 --> 01:35:04,871 There will come a time you'll see 1096 01:35:05,992 --> 01:35:07,539 With no more tears 1097 01:35:07,702 --> 01:35:11,707 And love will not break your heart 1098 01:35:11,873 --> 01:35:13,625 And dismiss your fears 1099 01:35:13,791 --> 01:35:16,294 Get over your hill 1100 01:35:16,461 -->

know, I'd have been way ahead of the game if I'd just gone ahead 1104 01:35:53,665 --> 01:35:56,134 and built that house without ever asking for a permit. 1105 01:35:56,292 --> 01:35:59,387 Yeah, and I would have been much happier 1106 01:35:59,545 --> 01:36:01,513 if I'd just stuck you in an old folks home. 1107 01:36:02,507 --> 01:36:06,512 That's funny, I was just about to propose the same thing to you. 1108 01:36:06,678 --> 01:36:08,851 I could check into some options, if you don't mind. 1109 01:36:09,013 --> 01:36:11,107 Yeah, we should go in together and get a group rate. 1110
