I want a clean start for you, Chris
0:03
I want a new sign over the plant, Christopher Keller, Incorporated. J. O. Keller is good enough
0:09
We'll talk about it. I'm going to build you a house stone with a driveway from the road
0:16
I want you to spread out, Chris. I want you to use what I made for you
0:21
I mean with joy, Chris. Without shame, with joy. I will, Dad
0:28
Say it to me. Why? Because sometimes I think you're ashamed of the money
0:36
No, don't feel that. Because it's good money. There's nothing wrong with that money
0:41
Dad, you don't have to tell me this. Look, Chris, I'll go to work on Mother for you
0:49
We'll get her so drunk tonight. We'll all get married. I had a terrible night
0:55
I never had a night like that. What was it, Mom? Did you dream
1:00
More, more than a dream. About Larry? I was fast asleep. Remember the way he used to fly low past the house when he was in training
1:10
When we used to see his face in the cockpit going by? That's the way I saw him, only high up, way, way up where the clouds are
1:18
He was so real, I could reach out and touch him. And suddenly he started to fall and crying crying to me Mom mom I could hear him like he was in the room Mom it was his voice If I could touch him I knew I could stop him
1:35
If I could only, I woke up, it's so funny. The wind, it was like the roaring of his engine
1:42
I came out here, I must have still been half asleep. I could hear that roaring like he was going by
1:46
and the tree snapped right in front of me, and I like came awake
1:50
We should never have planted that tree. I said so in the first place
1:56
It was too soon to plant your tree for him. I know you're no worse than most men
2:00
But I thought you were better. I never saw you as a man
2:04
I saw you as my father. I can't look at you this way
2:12
I can't look at myself. Give me that. He's going to read it. Larry
2:18
He wrote it to me the day he died. Larry? Chris, it's not for you
2:22
Joe, go away. Why did she say, Larry? Go to the street. Don't
2:27
Chris, don't tell us. Three and one half years talking, talking. Now you tell me what you must do
2:35
This is how he died. Now tell me where you belong. Chris, a man can't be a Jesus in this world
2:41
I know all about the world. I know the whole crap story
2:46
Now listen to this and tell me what a man's got to be. My dear Anne, are you listening
2:52
He wrote this the day he died. Listen, don't cry, listen
