24. Fortune's Speech
From Rudy (1993)
Delivered by Charles S. Dutton
Fortune: Oh, well since when are you the quitting kind?
Rudy: I don't know I just don't see the point anymore.
Fortune: So you didn't make the dress list, there are greater tragedies in the world.
Rudy: I wanted to run out of that Tunnell for my dad to prove to everyone that I worked...
Fortune: PROVE WHAT?
Rudy: That I was somebody.
Fortune: Oh you are so full of crap. Your five foot nothin', a hundred and nothin' and hardly have a spec of athletic ability and you hung in with the best college football team in the land for two years, and you were also going to walk out of here with a degree from the University of Norte Dame in this life time you don't have to prove nothing to nobody except yourself, and after what you gone through if you haven't done that by now, it aint gonna never happen, now go on back.
Rudy: I'm sorry I never got you to see your first game in here.
Fortune: Hell I've seen too many games in this Stadium.
Rudy: I thought you said you never saw a game...
Fortune: I've never seen a game from the stands.
Rudy: You were a player?
Fortune: I rode the Bench for two years. Thought I wasn't being played because of my color, I got filled up with a lot of attitude. So I quit. Still not a week goes by I don't regret it, and I guarantee a week won't go by in your life you won't regret walking out letting them get the best of you. Do you hear me clear enough?
(To be continued...)
A/N: I haven't watched this movie in such a long time, and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the whole film... My life feels incomplete now... ( >_< ) This is a motivational speech that doesn't involve the locker room gig like the other sports films...
