[to his dad on why he gave up wrestling]
It was a one-way street leading no where, Dad... It was organized dishonesty... It was the system. You win when they let You win, you climb the ladder when they let you, you breathe when they feel like giving you air... I got fed up with other people living my life their way

It was a one-way street
leading nowhere, Dad.
00:00:05.702 --> 00:00:07.203
It was organized dishonesty.
00:00:07.204 --> 00:00:09.205
It was a system.
00:00:09.206 --> 00:00:10.683
You know, you win
when they let you win,
00:00:10.707 --> 00:00:11.707
you climb the ladder
when they let you,
00:00:11.708 --> 00:00:14.021
you breathe when they feel like
giving you air.
00:00:14.211 --> 00:00:16.796
I just got fed up with other people
running my life their way.
00:00:16.797 --> 00:00:19.799
Buford, it's all over now.
Don't relive it.
00:00:19.008 --> 00:00:21.684
It weren't worth it.
Yeah, you're right.
00:00:21.685 --> 00:00:23.686
Now, see what you did
with your fool questions?
00:00:23.687 --> 00:00:25.189
They've come home.
00:00:25.689 --> 00:00:27.524
Nothing else is important.
00:00:27.858 --> 00:00:31.999
Oh, don't worry, Mama. I'm not
gonna fight with anybody anymore.
00:00:31.061 --> 00:00:32.311
Buford's word.
00:00:32.312 --> 00:00:33.814
By God, this calls for a drink.
00:00:34.314 --> 00:00:36.315
With you, just about everything
calls for a drink.
00:00:36.316 --> 00:00:38.818
Oh, well, anytime a man's son
returns to his senses,
00:00:38.819 --> 00:00:40.454
it's celebrating time.
00:00:40.954 --> 00:00:42.289
I wanna go see the cows.
00:00:42.789 --> 00:00:43.789
That's for first graders.
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.742
I wanna see Dad's
solid gold football.
