Rudy Page #2

Community, much less Notre Dame.

The secret to happiness

in this life...

...is to be grateful for the gifts

the good Lord has bestowed upon us.

Rudy...

...not everyone is meant

to go to college.

Dad, wait up!

What about this order?

We have to change

the rollers on number 13.

- Thirteen?

- Yeah.

All right, we'll have the crane

ready for you, okay?

Hey, Rudy.

Rudy!

You were late again today?

You were late?

Get serious.

No special days here.

What is today?

- Friday.

- No, no, I mean the date.

August 23rd.

And that is...?

My birthday.

Twenty-two big ones!

Pete, it's starting to go by too fast.

Well, I didn't

have time to wrap it, but...

- Go ahead, open it.

- You shouldn't have.

This is fantastic.

Where did you find this?

I saw it in this surplus store and

I said, "That's gotta be yours."

This is unbelievable.

Pete, I don't know how

I'm ever gonna thank you.

How's it look?

You were born to wear it.

Do you know Ara...

...is the only coach in Notre Dame

history who encourages walk-on players?

You probably know more about

the team than half the players.

I can't wait to get there.

Guess how much money I have saved up?

Twenty?

Eighty? Fifty?

1000 dollars.

That's a good start!

You're the only one who ever

took me serious, Pete.

Well, you know what

my dad always said.

"Having dreams is what

makes life tolerable."

- 2-2-0-5.

- 2-2-0-9.

That's 2-2-0-9.

That's the house, Rudy!

Isn't it cute?

We can afford this.

And know what else it has?

Wall-to-wall carpeting.

It has a fireplace.

And a big kitchen.

It's close to the schools.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's great, Sherry. It's great.

You did a great job.

Look, buddy...

...I've put in my time.

I've been very patient

waiting for us to save up...

...so we could get married

and do this right.

You owe me.

Come on.

I think you're gonna like it.

Hey, Joe, what do you know?

- Can I get another beer down here?

- Sure. Coming right up.

What are you doing tomorrow night?

A little TV.

Coach Parseghian is speaking at the

Chicago Grid Iron Club. Wanna go?

Sure. If Rhonda

lets me stay out late.

Tell her the D train gets

back no later than 10:30...

Ara Parseghian? You just

can't give it up, can you?

He's the greatest coach

in the country, Frank.

Are you gonna kiss his autographed

picture every night?

- What is your problem?

- Or maybe he'll let you wipe his ass.

- Why don't you leave him alone?

- Mind your own business.

As long as my brother talks this crazy

Notre Dame sh*t, he deserves this.

Hey, you were a pretty big

Notre Dame fan.

I used to collect baseball cards too.

Forget about it.

You know what Coach Gillespie
