Rudy Page #3

said about you, Frank?

He said you had a lot of talent.

But your problem was,

you were too afraid of getting hit.

You had no guts.

Go to hell, Pete.

- Come on.

- It's okay.

He used to tell me if you had one

half of Rudy's heart and desire...

...you could have been

all-conference.

He said you were a p*ssy.

Frank!

Come on, Frank.

Rudy!

- Rudy! Rudy!

- All right!

That's enough!

Do you hear me?!

That's enough!

Frank, good!

Don't nothing ever change?

Throw them out, Mary Ann.

You didn't have to get into it

with Frank. I can take care of myself.

I know you can.

That was between him and me!

Ever since he started working here,

he's been pissed off.

Because he's not the same

kind of god around here...

...that he was in high school.

We got a breakout!

Rudy, I need more water!

I'm not getting any!

Try another valve!

I'm not getting any, Pete!

Come on, goddamn it.

There's no pressure in the line.

We need to get out of here!

Turn something!

Pete!

Let us pray.

O, God, who alone are ever

merciful and sparing of punishment...

...humbly we pray You in behalf of

the soul of Your servant, Peter...

...whom You have commanded to

go forth today from this world.

Do not hand him over to the enemy,

and do not forget him forever...

...but command that this soul

be taken up by the holy angels...

...and brought home to Paradise.

So that, since he hoped...

...and believed in You, he may not

undergo the punishments of Hell...

- I'm so sorry. He was a friend.

- Thank you.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

You okay?

You wanna just go home?

I'm going to South Bend.

Now is not the time.

If I don't go now, I'll never be any

good for you or for me or anybody.

I'm sorry.

Well...

...if you have to go, then

you'll have to go alone.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Dad.

What are you doing here?

You can take a couple of weeks off.

Your grandfather saved

all of his life...

...to bring the family

to this country.

He got a good job in the stockyards.

He had a nice little house...

...South Chicago.

I was about 12.

Somebody sold him on the idea

he ought to move to the country...

...and become a dairy farmer.

Well...

...he buys some land, you know,

and gets a couple hundred cows.

Within five months, every one of

those cows was dead with disease.

It was the Depression.

Couldn't sell the land.

There was no work.

So one day...

...he took off.

Didn't come back.

My brothers and me, we split up...

...to live with friends and relatives.

Chasing a stupid dream...

...causes nothing but you and

everyone around you heartache.

Notre Dame is for rich kids...

...smart kids...

...great athletes. It's not for us.
