I couldn't even look at the chief as he stood there praising me. 244 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000 All I could see was that burning wreck at the foot of the cliff. 245 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000 And all I could hear was that awful horn blowing. 246 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000 I had to bite my lips to keep him screaming, I did it. 247 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Harry.

I'm afraid I'm no great shakes as a speech maker. Just a lucky thing my girl's a good English teacher. 256 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:36,000 I don't believe we should honor a man for safe driving any more than we should honor him because he's never killed anyone with a gun. 257 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,000 When a man gets behind the wheel of a car, he doesn't give up his responsibilities to his fellow men. 258 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000 No one can escape the responsibility of being his brother's keeper. 259 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000 And that goes for, that goes for, that's... 260 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Harry, what's wrong? 261 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Listen to me.

I can't do it. 263 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:11,000 I guess Harry's right after all, folks. I guess maybe we just better call the meeting off. 264 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000 I know I've got to get back to Canyon Road as soon as I can. 265 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Come on, Eve.
