You can have courage based
on a dumb idea or a mistake...

... but you're not supposed to
question adults...

Should you always do
what others tell you to do?

Sometimes you might not even know
why you're doing something.

I mean, any fool can have courage.
1474
01:41:07,247 --> 01:41:11,240
But honor, that's the real reason
you either do something or you don't.
1475
01:41:11,818 --> 01:41:14,753
It's who you are
and maybe who you want to be.
1476

If you die trying for
something important...
1477
01:41:18,491 --> 01:41:22,951
... then you have both honor and
courage, and that's pretty good.

That even Miss Sue makes donations?

That the Tuohys,
they have a condo in Oxford...

as many athletic events as possible.

your private education.
