... and the sun was going down.
His shoulders were still powerful,
although very old.
The neck was still strong too.
The creases did not show so much
when the old man was asleep.
His head was very old, though.
And with his eyes closed,
there was no life in his face.
Wake up, old man.
The old man opened his eyes,
and for a long moment...
... he was coming back
from a long way away.
Then he smiled.
What have you got?
- We're gonna have supper.
- I'm not very hungry.
Come on and eat.
You can't fish and not eat.
I have.
You won't fish without eating
while I'm alive.
Well, then you live a long time
and take good care of yourself.
Who...? Who gave this to you?
Martin. At the terrace.
Well...
...I must be sure and thank him.
I thanked him already.
You don't need to thank him.
They had eaten with no light on the table,
and it was dark now.
The old man had talked to the boy
about baseball as always.
About the great DiMaggio
and how he was himself again...
... and about the other men on the team.
Tell me about the great John J. McGraw.
He used to come to the terrace sometimes...
...in the olden days too.
His mind was on the horses, I think,
as much as it was on the baseball.
At least he used to carry lists
of horses in his pocket at all times.
And frequently, he would speak
the names of horses on the telephone.
He was a great manager.
My father thinks he was the greatest.
That's because he came here
the most times.
If Durocher had continued coming here...
he was the greatest manager.
Who is the greatest manager, really?
I think they are all equal.
Sometime I would like to take
They say his father was a fisherman.
Maybe he was poor like we are,
and he would understand.
You ought to go to bed so that
you'll be fresh in the morning.
I'll take these things back to the terrace.
- Good night. See you in the morning.
- You're my alarm clock.
Age is my alarm clock.
- Sleep well, old man.
- Thank you.
Good night.
The boy went out and the old man thought,
"Why do old men wake so early?
Is it to have one longer day?"
Then the old man rolled up his trousers
to make a pillow...
... putting the newspaper inside them.
He rolled himself in the blanket
and slept on the papers...
... that covered the springs of the bed.
He was asleep in a short time...
... and he dreamed of Africa,
when he was a boy.
He dreamed of the golden beaches and the
white beaches so white they hurt your eyes.
