1. Press.
Copy !req
2. Legs through.
Copy !req
3. Stay together.
Copy !req
4. As one.
Copy !req
5. In. Through.
Copy !req
6. In. Through.
Copy !req
7. Legs through.
Copy !req
8. Legs through.
Copy !req
9. Legs through.
Copy !req
10. Oh, man!
Copy !req
11. What the heck?
Copy !req
12. I swear that boy's
gonna be the death of me.
Copy !req
13. Every time I fix it,
he rips it again.
Copy !req
14. Engineering
design is different
Copy !req
15. from other areas of creativity
Copy !req
16. in that, you must be able
to actually build
Copy !req
17. what you imagine.
Copy !req
18. And then make sure it works
as you designed.
Copy !req
19. The design process
is structured to help direct
Copy !req
20. your creativity.
Copy !req
21. Now, uh...
Copy !req
22. What kinda engineer
you wanna be?
Copy !req
23. I'm thinking mechanical for me
'cause I like building things.
Copy !req
24. - Mm-hmm.
- You wanna partner up on...
Copy !req
25. Something you two gentlemen
would like to share with us?
Copy !req
26. Or can I continue?
Copy !req
27. Sorry.
Copy !req
28. Thank you.
Awesome. Thank you.
Copy !req
29. Okay,
I just need one more.
Copy !req
30. Let's see.
Copy !req
31. Uh, you.
Copy !req
32. That's all I need today,
fellas. Sorry.
Copy !req
33. Morning.
Morning.
Copy !req
34. This was in my box
this morning.
Copy !req
35. Okay, it looks like
you still owe a balance
Copy !req
36. on this semester.
Copy !req
37. Yeah, well,
I paid half already
Copy !req
38. and they said I could pay
the other half later.
Copy !req
39. Afraid later has arrived,
Mr. Rantz.
Copy !req
40. Maybe a part-time job
would help.
Copy !req
41. I've been looking.
Copy !req
42. Well, there's a board
down the hall.
Copy !req
43. I can give you two weeks.
Copy !req
44. After that,
you will need to consider
Copy !req
45. other educational options.
Copy !req
46. Thanks.
Copy !req
47. It's a waste of time.
I called every number up here.
Copy !req
48. And that nanny job,
Copy !req
49. all filled before semester
even started.
Copy !req
50. I check every day to get
a jump on a new one,
Copy !req
51. but there hadn't been any.
Copy !req
52. I'm staying with my aunt
till I can afford a place.
Copy !req
53. I spend half my day pulling
cat hair off of my clothes.
Copy !req
54. I hate cats.
Copy !req
55. You like 'em?
Copy !req
56. Cats, I mean.
Copy !req
57. I, uh, never thought
much about 'em.
Copy !req
58. I hate 'em.
Copy !req
59. Thought I saw you
in class.
Copy !req
60. - You remember me?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
61. All right.
Then, what's my name?
Copy !req
62. Uh, Joyce Simdars.
Copy !req
63. - And you're Joe Rantz.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
64. I remember because you had
a huge crush on me
Copy !req
65. in the fourth grade.
Copy !req
66. - No, I didn't.
- Yeah, yeah, you did.
Copy !req
67. You made me
this pretty little card
Copy !req
68. with some flowers
stuffed in it.
Copy !req
69. Right before my family
went away to Olympia.
Copy !req
70. - Uh...
- Are you one of those people
Copy !req
71. who can't eat
when you're nervous?
Copy !req
72. - I'm not nervous.
- No?
Copy !req
73. So, what are you
doing here, Joe?
Copy !req
74. I'm trying to learn,
uh, engineering.
Copy !req
75. Hmm.
Copy !req
76. I'm gonna be a teacher.
Copy !req
77. Mostly here just to get away
from home, though.
Copy !req
78. You remember my mother?
Copy !req
79. Sorta. Always had a Bible
in her hand.
Copy !req
80. Yeah.
Copy !req
81. Unless she's throwing it
at you.
Copy !req
82. You like rowboats?
Copy !req
83. You know, like, paddlin' 'em.
Copy !req
84. - Who's this?
- I'm Roger.
Copy !req
85. Hi, Roger. I'm Joyce.
Copy !req
86. This is Joe, but he's
not real talkative right now
Copy !req
87. 'cause he's
a little bit nervous.
Copy !req
88. - No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
- He is a little nervous.
Copy !req
89. I'm not nervous.
Copy !req
90. We might be able to make
some money if you can row.
Copy !req
91. Joyce, you ready?
- Oh. Gotta go, boys.
Copy !req
92. Nice seeing you again, Joe.
Copy !req
93. Roger.
Copy !req
94. By the way,
Copy !req
95. did you ever get over
that crush?
Copy !req
96. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
97. She's a looker, huh?
Copy !req
98. So, what's that about
making some money?
Copy !req
99. Yeah, the rowing team.
Copy !req
100. You're on it,
you get a part-time job
Copy !req
101. including
a cheap place to live.
Copy !req
102. I could get free of them cats.
Copy !req
103. All you gotta do
is make the team.
Copy !req
104. How hard can that be?
Copy !req
105. How many make the team?
Copy !req
106. Hey, how many, uh...
Copy !req
107. How many fellas get picked?
Copy !req
108. Eight, I think.
Copy !req
109. Eight?
Copy !req
110. What's he say?
Copy !req
111. He didn't know.
Copy !req
112. All right, listen up.
Copy !req
113. I'm Coach Ulbrickson.
Copy !req
114. Well, that's Coach Bolles,
Copy !req
115. Coach Brown.
Copy !req
116. Now, you're all here
because we're looking
Copy !req
117. for the eight most qualified
young men to fill out JV boat.
Copy !req
118. That means most of you
will not be chosen.
Copy !req
119. In fact, the majority of you
will most likely
Copy !req
120. walk away on your own
within the next few weeks,
Copy !req
121. 'cause your bodies will hurt,
Copy !req
122. minds will tire,
Copy !req
123. and you'll decide
this dream of yours
Copy !req
124. to compete against the
greatest crews in the world
Copy !req
125. is just not worth it.
Copy !req
126. There's no shame in that.
Copy !req
127. Eight-man crew
Copy !req
128. is the most difficult
team sport in the world.
Copy !req
129. The average human body is just
not meant for such things.
Copy !req
130. It's just not capable
of such things.
Copy !req
131. But average is not gonna
get a seat on my boat.
Copy !req
132. So, good luck.
Copy !req
133. Okay. Fall into two lines.
Copy !req
134. Registration on the left.
Uniforms on the right.
Copy !req
135. That was a beautiful speech,
Coach.
Copy !req
136. - Name?
- Uh, Joe Rantz.
Copy !req
137. Joe, you ever crewed before?
Copy !req
138. Uh... Um...
Copy !req
139. Row. You ever rowed before?
Copy !req
140. No. No. Uh...
Copy !req
141. How much does the job pay
once you're on the team?
Copy !req
142. Go pick up your gear
over there.
Copy !req
143. - To your right. Next.
- Name?
Copy !req
144. Roger Morris.
Copy !req
145. Roger,
you ever crewed before?
Copy !req
146. No.
Copy !req
147. All right.
Copy !req
148. Pick up your gear
across the way.
Copy !req
149. You'll be divided into groups
Copy !req
150. and rotate through
training stations.
Copy !req
151. When you hear your number
called, follow the coach.
Copy !req
152. One through 16,
you're with me,
Copy !req
153. 17 through 32
with Coach Matthews,
Copy !req
154. 33 to 48 with me.
Copy !req
155. Line up.
Copy !req
156. You got any idea
what we're in for?
Copy !req
157. I don't know.
Copy !req
158. Good. Me either.
Copy !req
159. One through 16, come on.
Copy !req
160. The average
adult man is capable
Copy !req
161. of taking in roughly four
liters of oxygen per minute.
Copy !req
162. An oarsman must be able
to consume as much as eight.
Copy !req
163. You have to teach your bodies
to do that.
Copy !req
164. - We'll do 50 push-ups,
Copy !req
165. followed by 50 sit-ups
and 50 jacks.
Copy !req
166. We'll keep doing sets of 50
Copy !req
167. till it's time
to change stations.
Copy !req
168. Eight on each side.
Copy !req
169. Feet in stretchers.
Copy !req
170. Lace 'em up.
Copy !req
171. Let's take Old Nero out.
Copy !req
172. All right, on my count,
straight backs, use your legs.
Copy !req
173. Twelve! Don't just slap
the water. Roll your wrists.
Copy !req
174. Up, down.
Copy !req
175. Up, down.
Copy !req
176. Four, five, six, seven,
Copy !req
177. eight, nine, ten.
Copy !req
178. Stroke, two, three, four.
Copy !req
179. Stroke, two, three, four.
Copy !req
180. Catch, drive, finish, recovery.
Copy !req
181. Catch, drive, finish, recovery.
Copy !req
182. Next station. Everybody out.
Copy !req
183. Up, down.
Copy !req
184. Up, down.
Copy !req
185. Up, down.
Copy !req
186. Up, down.
Copy !req
187. Switch!
Copy !req
188. All set?
Copy !req
189. Up, down.
Copy !req
190. - Up, down.
Copy !req
191. There's four parts
to a stroke, gentlemen,
Copy !req
192. not three, okay?
Copy !req
193. Catch, drive, finish,
and recovery.
Copy !req
194. You can't skip any of 'em.
Copy !req
195. And you know why we're not
going in a straight line?
Copy !req
196. 'Cause number 22 here
Copy !req
197. is the only one
that's listening to me.
Copy !req
198. Catch, drive,
Copy !req
199. finish, recovery.
Copy !req
200. That's better.
Copy !req
201. All right. Let's pick up
the pace to 18.
Copy !req
202. Lot of tall timber
in this bunch, Coach.
Copy !req
203. Few boys there could even
push your varsity crew.
Copy !req
204. It's hard to judge
off one day.
Copy !req
205. Still, you had to see enough
Copy !req
206. to make you almost
finally crack a smile?
Copy !req
207. Yeah, I'll let you know
at the end of the season, huh?
Copy !req
208. Olympic year, this year,
Copy !req
209. so ideally, they'll stretch
longer than most.
Copy !req
210. Olympic year?
I didn't realize.
Copy !req
211. I spoke with
Coach Ebright down in Cali.
Copy !req
212. He's sure aware of it.
Copy !req
213. Feels good about
his chances, too.
Copy !req
214. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
215. Any first impressions
you'd like to see in print?
Copy !req
216. You know I don't
read the paper, Royal.
Copy !req
217. Excuse me, Coach.
Copy !req
218. If you're looking for tips,
you're gonna have to get 'em
Copy !req
219. in practice
like everybody else.
Copy !req
220. No, sir. I was just wondering
how much this paid.
Copy !req
221. Say again?
Copy !req
222. They said there was a job
included if you make the team?
Copy !req
223. I just need to know
if it's gonna cover
Copy !req
224. the rest of my tuition.
Copy !req
225. Yeah, I'm sure it will.
Copy !req
226. Hey, you just
concentrate for now
Copy !req
227. - on making the squad, son.
- Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
228. Now, there's a question I bet
Copy !req
229. those Ivy League coaches
never get.
Copy !req
230. Speakin' of,
Copy !req
231. I sure hope this year
goes better than the last.
Copy !req
232. No one's rooting for your boys
more than me.
Copy !req
233. - Good luck, Coach.
- And you, Royal.
Copy !req
234. Did you go grab some food?
Copy !req
235. Ah, I'm not hungry.
Copy !req
236. I got enough for us both
if you want it.
Copy !req
237. Not that hungry.
Copy !req
238. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
239. I appreciate it.
Copy !req
240. There you go.
Copy !req
241. Here you go, sir. Thank you.
Copy !req
242. How's your chicken?
Hmm?
Copy !req
243. Great. Thanks.
Copy !req
244. Yeah, that's a pork chop
you're eating.
Copy !req
245. Ah.
Copy !req
246. Sorry.
Copy !req
247. So, I saw
Royal Brougham today.
Copy !req
248. And he made sure to tell me
Copy !req
249. that Ky Ebright's squad
is strong this year.
Copy !req
250. Cal is always strong.
Copy !req
251. And you always worry.
Copy !req
252. How'd your new boys look?
Copy !req
253. Well, it's too early to say.
Copy !req
254. There's definitely
a lot of 'em.
Copy !req
255. That's good. Nice big stable
to choose from.
Copy !req
256. - If enough of them last.
- The best ones will.
Copy !req
257. - Just like you did.
- Mm.
Copy !req
258. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
259. Nothing, just a little stiff.
Copy !req
260. Yeah, looks it. How come?
Copy !req
261. Rowed boats
till it almost killed us.
Copy !req
262. What?
Copy !req
263. Page 43 in your texts.
Copy !req
264. So, in solving the framework,
Copy !req
265. what does it mean to reflect?
Copy !req
266. Excuse me, young man.
Copy !req
267. Would you like me to speak
quieter so you can rest?
Copy !req
268. I feel like that's maybe
a trick question.
Copy !req
269. - Quiet!
Copy !req
270. Pay attention
or go home to sleep.
Copy !req
271. You can't do both in here.
Copy !req
272. You're welcome, Joe Rantz.
Copy !req
273. Thank you.
Copy !req
274. Three.
Copy !req
275. Four.
Copy !req
276. Push, then pull. Push...
Copy !req
277. Up, down!
Copy !req
278. 48 and 12 on the bow.
Copy !req
279. Yeah. I'm thinkin'...
Copy !req
280. What about Morris in the six
behind Rantz?
Copy !req
281. Keep time with me.
Copy !req
282. Stroke, two, three, four.
Stroke, two...
Copy !req
283. Come on, boys!
Who wants it more?
Copy !req
284. Keep driving those legs!
Copy !req
285. Do not let 22 beat you!
Copy !req
286. You still remember me?
Copy !req
287. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
288. Wasn't sure.
Copy !req
289. Haven't seen you much lately.
Copy !req
290. I just been busy with stuff.
Copy !req
291. - Rowing stuff?
- Mostly.
Copy !req
292. Hmm.
Copy !req
293. I heard Roger say that they're
announcing the team today.
Copy !req
294. Are you gonna make it?
Copy !req
295. There's lot of guys tryin'.
Copy !req
296. You wanna take me
on a boat ride when you do?
Copy !req
297. Sure.
Copy !req
298. Gentlemen,
Copy !req
299. I wanna thank you all
for comin' out
Copy !req
300. and giving your best effort.
Copy !req
301. Every single one
of you left standing
Copy !req
302. has performed admirably.
Copy !req
303. Unfortunately, only a few of
you can be chosen to continue.
Copy !req
304. Coach Bolles.
Copy !req
305. Hume.
Copy !req
306. Hunt.
Copy !req
307. McMillin.
Copy !req
308. Day.
Copy !req
309. - Morris.
Copy !req
310. White.
Copy !req
311. Adam.
Copy !req
312. Rantz.
Copy !req
313. Coy, you're the reserve.
Copy !req
314. We thank the rest of you
for your time and your effort.
Copy !req
315. All right, then.
Copy !req
316. Go and celebrate.
Copy !req
317. I will see you on the water
tomorrow.
Copy !req
318. Well done.
Copy !req
319. That's my favorite part.
Copy !req
320. Come on, boys.
Copy !req
321. Let's go.
Copy !req
322. Now lift 'em up.
Copy !req
323. It's all this guy
talks about, his Dodge.
Copy !req
324. Hey, listen,
I've done so much rowing.
Copy !req
325. I knew you'd made it.
Copy !req
326. I'm glad one of us did.
Copy !req
327. Ah, you were
always in the bag.
Copy !req
328. When Coach called my name,
my knees almost buckled.
Copy !req
329. I wonder what seats
they'll put us in.
Copy !req
330. I just want the stroke.
Copy !req
331. That's Hume's seat.
Guaranteed.
Copy !req
332. Hey, you're not a mute,
are you?
Copy !req
333. 'Cause I've never once
heard you say nothin'.
Copy !req
334. No.
Copy !req
335. He doesn't need to talk,
the way he pulls that oar.
Copy !req
336. Yeah, Chuck, maybe you should
pull more and talk less,
Copy !req
337. you want that stroke seat.
Copy !req
338. I don't care
where they put me,
Copy !req
339. as long as
I'm in there somewhere.
Copy !req
340. We're all in there somewhere.
Copy !req
341. Yeah.
Copy !req
342. Bow down to Washington
Copy !req
343. Bow down to Washington
Copy !req
344. Mighty are the men who wear
the purple and the gold
Copy !req
345. Joyfully we welcome them
within the victor's fold
Copy !req
346. We will carve our names
in the Hall of Fame
Copy !req
347. To preserve the memory
of our devotion
Copy !req
348. So, heaven help
the foes of Washington
Copy !req
349. They're trembling at the feet
of mighty Washington
Copy !req
350. Our boys are there with bells
Their fighting blood excels
Copy !req
351. It's harder to push them
over the lines than pass...
Copy !req
352. Hey.
- Hi.
Copy !req
353. You, uh...
Copy !req
354. You wanna go for a boat ride?
Copy !req
355. Now?
Copy !req
356. Yeah.
Copy !req
357. Yeah, okay.
Copy !req
358. Catch, drive,
Copy !req
359. - finish, recovery.
Copy !req
360. You gotta do all four
before you can start again.
Copy !req
361. That's better.
You gotta feather next.
Copy !req
362. Feathering? What's feather?
Copy !req
363. Here, look.
Copy !req
364. You roll your wrists
Copy !req
365. to spin the oar.
Copy !req
366. - You see?
- Mm.
Copy !req
367. Now, try again.
Copy !req
368. - You're a natural.
Copy !req
369. I thought you said you were
gonna take me on a boat ride.
Copy !req
370. All right, scooch over.
Copy !req
371. All right.
Copy !req
372. Do you like it? Rowing?
Copy !req
373. Well,
Copy !req
374. gettin' a job out of it.
Copy !req
375. And a room. So, I guess.
Copy !req
376. Who else made the team?
Copy !req
377. Roger, Shorty, some others.
Copy !req
378. You know, they put the races
on the radio.
Copy !req
379. Everybody listens.
Copy !req
380. Yeah, they took,
uh, some photos.
Copy !req
381. - Asked a bunch of questions.
- What kinds of questions?
Copy !req
382. It's just, you know,
Copy !req
383. where we're from,
stuff like that.
Copy !req
384. Did you tell them the truth?
Copy !req
385. Mm. Mostly.
Copy !req
386. You're all gonna be famous.
Copy !req
387. Then you really
will forget about me.
Copy !req
388. I don't think I could
if I tried.
Copy !req
389. You get to row us
back to shore.
Copy !req
390. We have class in the morning.
Copy !req
391. - Which bed you want?
- Couldn't care less.
Copy !req
392. - Oh, nice.
Copy !req
393. We get to keep these, right?
Copy !req
394. Long as we stay on the team.
Copy !req
395. Each seat on
the boat has its own purpose.
Copy !req
396. Like eight separate parts
of one great racehorse.
Copy !req
397. Morris in one, Day in two,
Copy !req
398. and Adam in the three.
Copy !req
399. Your technique will keep
the boat on its proper course.
Copy !req
400. And four, five, and six
are like the engine room.
Copy !req
401. That is the power.
Copy !req
402. White, McMillin, and Hunt.
Copy !req
403. Now, Rantz is our seven.
Copy !req
404. So, you set the pace
with Hume, the stroke.
Copy !req
405. And every good racehorse
has a jockey.
Copy !req
406. Glenn Morry...
Copy !req
407. Come on, Glenn.
Copy !req
408. is our coxswain.
Copy !req
409. Now, he calls the strategy
Copy !req
410. set up by myself
and Coach Bolles.
Copy !req
411. He'll give you rein
when he wants you to run,
Copy !req
412. he'll pull you back
to slow you down.
Copy !req
413. And when the time is right,
he'll get out his whip.
Copy !req
414. - Hey, fellas.
Copy !req
415. Okay,
time to get in the water.
Copy !req
416. Let's go again!
Copy !req
417. Hey, junior boat,
Copy !req
418. you tired
after your first day?
Copy !req
419. He'll never make it.
Don't take it so hard.
Copy !req
420. Hey, where you going?
Come back.
Copy !req
421. I hate those assholes.
Copy !req
422. You gotta learn
to pace yourself.
Copy !req
423. - It's Joe, isn't it?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
424. Most of you boys don't have
an interest in a boat
Copy !req
425. until you can sit in it.
Copy !req
426. You like to work with wood?
Copy !req
427. Yeah, my father did some.
Copy !req
428. He used to make things.
Copy !req
429. Nothing like this,
just porches and stuff.
Copy !req
430. I helped him fix up
an old canoe once.
Copy !req
431. I'm sure he and your mother
must be very proud of you now.
Copy !req
432. Making the team.
Copy !req
433. This is for you boys.
Copy !req
434. Your racing shell.
Copy !req
435. Always welcome
to give me a hand with it.
Copy !req
436. If you find some free time.
Copy !req
437. No, I didn't mean right now.
Copy !req
438. You should rest up tonight.
Copy !req
439. I'm okay.
Copy !req
440. Technique
is more important than power.
Copy !req
441. You have to be able to pull
a perfect oar,
Copy !req
442. stroke after stroke.
Copy !req
443. It's called swing.
Copy !req
444. When all eight are rowing
in such perfect unison
Copy !req
445. that no single action
Copy !req
446. is out of sync
with the rest of the boat.
Copy !req
447. Then you aren't fighting
each other.
Copy !req
448. You're moving
with less effort.
Copy !req
449. Each one of your strokes
is worth
Copy !req
450. one and a half
of the other boat's.
Copy !req
451. Most crews never find it.
Copy !req
452. But when they do,
Copy !req
453. rowing is more poetry
than sport.
Copy !req
454. White and Day, switch.
Copy !req
455. Rantz, Adam,
Copy !req
456. switch back.
Copy !req
457. Row!
Copy !req
458. Row!
Copy !req
459. - Row!
- Come on!
Copy !req
460. - Row!
- Come on!
Copy !req
461. Row!
Row through the lake!
Copy !req
462. Row! More!
Copy !req
463. What, did you
forget everything you learned
Copy !req
464. in the last three years?
Copy !req
465. Brown, you're still skying.
Copy !req
466. Billings, are you the stroke?
You're rushing.
Copy !req
467. You have seven men behind you,
all chasing the boat.
Copy !req
468. 34 strokes.
Copy !req
469. You're fine at 34 strokes.
Copy !req
470. Anything higher
and you fall apart.
Copy !req
471. 34 strokes,
you don't beat Cal.
Copy !req
472. 34 strokes,
Copy !req
473. you don't win at Poughkeepsie.
Copy !req
474. You certainly
don't get to Germany.
Copy !req
475. You know who you beat
with 34 strokes?
Copy !req
476. The JV boat.
Copy !req
477. Maybe.
Copy !req
478. What are you guys waiting for?
Get back in the boat.
Copy !req
479. You guys, you're gonna
get back out there
Copy !req
480. and you're gonna do it again
until you get it right!
Copy !req
481. - Hope I'm not intruding, Al.
Copy !req
482. Not at all, Ben.
Come on in. Take a seat.
Copy !req
483. Great timing.
Copy !req
484. Just going through
the equipment budget
Copy !req
485. to send over
to your committee.
Copy !req
486. Nothing unreasonable.
Copy !req
487. Some pieces for the gymnasium.
Copy !req
488. And the five-year-old uniforms
Copy !req
489. are startin'
to look a little ragged.
Copy !req
490. Ah, we'll see what we can do.
Copy !req
491. Committee's meeting next week.
Copy !req
492. More wins usually means
more money from the alumni.
Copy !req
493. - Sure.
Copy !req
494. So, how are our boys doing,
Coach?
Copy !req
495. Early to say, but solid.
Copy !req
496. Oh, they've been workin' hard.
Copy !req
497. My boy, Bo, had 'em training
Copy !req
498. - all off season.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
499. Think they're gonna make
a real run at Cal this year.
Copy !req
500. I hope we can.
Copy !req
501. We got a good junior boat to
push 'em, too. You should...
Copy !req
502. It'd be nice to finally hang
a banner up at our place
Copy !req
503. instead of letting
Cal have 'em all.
Copy !req
504. We'll do our best, sir.
Copy !req
505. And an Olympic medal
to go with it.
Copy !req
506. Bo says his boat's got a shot.
Copy !req
507. If we work hard.
Copy !req
508. And catch some breaks.
Copy !req
509. Winners make our own
breaks in life, Coach.
Copy !req
510. And we need this.
Copy !req
511. It's now or never.
Copy !req
512. Hmm.
Copy !req
513. "If we shadows have offended
Copy !req
514. "Think but this,
and all is mended.
Copy !req
515. "That you have but
slumbered here...
Copy !req
516. "While these visions
did appear."
Copy !req
517. Thank you.
Copy !req
518. It's some fella called
Shakespeare, right?
Copy !req
519. You know, music people
Copy !req
520. should have to take care
of their own trash.
Copy !req
521. Better than
the cafeteria last night.
Copy !req
522. I mean, God,
I almost couldn't eat today.
Copy !req
523. You see that old food,
all mushed around like that?
Copy !req
524. Eugh!
Copy !req
525. You ever notice
how under the girls' tables,
Copy !req
526. it's always the worst?
Copy !req
527. When you look close,
girls are nasty.
Copy !req
528. You don't realize it
'cause of their nice dresses
Copy !req
529. and their hair's all fixed up.
Copy !req
530. But I'll clean under 10 boys'
tables before I do one...
Copy !req
531. Oh, Don, there anything
you can't do?
Copy !req
532. Keep goin'.
Copy !req
533. Ain't we got fun?
Copy !req
534. The rent's unpaid, dear
Copy !req
535. We haven't a car
Copy !req
536. In any way, dear
Copy !req
537. We'll stay as we are
Copy !req
538. - Even if we owe the grocer
Copy !req
539. Ain't we got fun?
Copy !req
540. What about Morris
in the six behind Rantz
Copy !req
541. and Hunt in the one?
Copy !req
542. We tried that last week.
Copy !req
543. I don't know.
Copy !req
544. On paper, this should work.
Copy !req
545. Better than just work.
Copy !req
546. You put them in singles
against 100 other kids,
Copy !req
547. I'd bet on that being the top
eight finishers out there.
Copy !req
548. That's the problem.
Copy !req
549. They have a hard time
remembering
Copy !req
550. they aren't in sculls,
especially Rantz.
Copy !req
551. They're a strong a group
as I've ever seen
Copy !req
552. come through here
Copy !req
553. and they might also be
the worst crew I've ever seen.
Copy !req
554. It's a bad mix.
Copy !req
555. It's my fault.
Copy !req
556. Well, maybe those names
aren't the problem.
Copy !req
557. Sometimes young horses
need a louder jockey.
Copy !req
558. - You wanted to see me, Coach?
Copy !req
559. Close the door.
Copy !req
560. Sit down, Bobby.
Copy !req
561. You know why
I called you here?
Copy !req
562. My guess is you need someone
to help you beat Cal.
Copy !req
563. Let me explain
something to you.
Copy !req
564. I'm giving you
a second chance.
Copy !req
565. You're gonna drive
the JV boat.
Copy !req
566. - JV?
- Yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
567. Now, listen to me.
Copy !req
568. You're gonna do what
I tell you, when I tell you.
Copy !req
569. And if I see you goin' off
on your own, then you're out.
Copy !req
570. For good this time.
You understand?
Copy !req
571. - Yeah, I do.
- All right.
Copy !req
572. Get out.
Copy !req
573. Come on!
Copy !req
574. - Your hands are too high!
Copy !req
575. Fix the catch.
Copy !req
576. One catch, let's go.
Copy !req
577. Look like a team, fellas.
Copy !req
578. Legs through, eyes up.
Copy !req
579. Legs through.
Copy !req
580. You guys are out of sync.
Find Hume.
Copy !req
581. Take it off Hume.
Copy !req
582. Watch those blade heights.
Copy !req
583. Hey, Rantz, you with us?
Get with Hume.
Copy !req
584. Legs through.
Copy !req
585. Legs through. Come on!
Copy !req
586. Day, you're catching too high.
Lower.
Copy !req
587. Morris, you're late.
Copy !req
588. Enough! Way-nuff! Way-nuff!
Copy !req
589. Yeah, good ride.
Copy !req
590. And my favorite part
is how my nuts vibrated
Copy !req
591. when you guys were all hitting
the water at different times.
Copy !req
592. We were moving slow as shit,
but the sensation was nice.
Copy !req
593. Screw you, Moch.
Copy !req
594. No, dandy,
you're the one screwed.
Copy !req
595. Coach told me if you guys
Copy !req
596. don't get yourselves
figured out,
Copy !req
597. you're not only missing
the regatta,
Copy !req
598. you're not racing at all
this year.
Copy !req
599. That's a whole hell
of a lot of work
Copy !req
600. to just do nothing with.
Copy !req
601. So, feel like trying it again?
Copy !req
602. I'm ready.
Copy !req
603. That's good.
Copy !req
604. Always with the grain.
Copy !req
605. How's the crew coming along?
Copy !req
606. Lot harder than I expected.
Copy !req
607. Well, that's what
practice is for.
Copy !req
608. Coaches will have you ready
for the regatta.
Copy !req
609. Your folks gonna make it?
Copy !req
610. My mother, she passed
when I was young.
Copy !req
611. And my pop, he had to move off
Copy !req
612. several years ago
to find work.
Copy !req
613. Kinda lost touch.
Copy !req
614. Who brought you up?
Copy !req
615. Pop figured
I was okay on my own.
Copy !req
616. Hmm.
Copy !req
617. How old were you?
Copy !req
618. Almost 14.
Copy !req
619. Him and my stepmom,
Copy !req
620. they had two young boys
to care for.
Copy !req
621. There was no work
around Sequim.
Copy !req
622. Worked out best for everybody.
Copy !req
623. Legs through.
Copy !req
624. Legs through.
Copy !req
625. Legs through.
Copy !req
626. Legs through.
Soften the shoulders.
Copy !req
627. Eyes up.
Copy !req
628. Stay loose.
Copy !req
629. Shoulders down, Joe.
Copy !req
630. Stay low.
Copy !req
631. Stay loose.
Copy !req
632. Eyes up.
Copy !req
633. Better?
Copy !req
634. As one.
Copy !req
635. As one.
Copy !req
636. As one.
Copy !req
637. Put the pressure
in the footplate.
Copy !req
638. Drive!
Copy !req
639. Drive!
Copy !req
640. Here she is, boys.
Copy !req
641. Maybe the finest
George has ever made.
Copy !req
642. Now, this is your new home.
Copy !req
643. Treat her that way.
Copy !req
644. - Care for her. Protect her.
Copy !req
645. Most of all,
you better respect her.
Copy !req
646. All right, suit up
and get out there.
Copy !req
647. You race against Cal
in a week.
Copy !req
648. Won't let you down, Coach.
Copy !req
649. Welcome to a beautiful day
at Lake Washington
Copy !req
650. for the annual showdown
between the Washington Huskies
Copy !req
651. and the Cal Bears of Berkeley
in the Pacific Coast Regatta.
Copy !req
652. And just as it has been
for the past 30 years,
Copy !req
653. the two-mile race will extend
from Sand Point
Copy !req
654. up to Sheridan Beach.
Copy !req
655. We have 100,000
race fans gathered here
Copy !req
656. for what is sure to be
another maritime battle
Copy !req
657. the likes of which we haven't
seen since New Orleans.
Copy !req
658. And in the purple and gold,
Washington Huskies coach,
Copy !req
659. Al Ulbrickson, is bringing
back a strong senior team
Copy !req
660. and an inexperienced
junior boat,
Copy !req
661. in hopes of reversing a
devastating season last year.
Copy !req
662. Without a doubt,
he's facing stiff competition.
Copy !req
663. Legendary Coach Ky Ebright
has once again
Copy !req
664. brought two strong boats.
Copy !req
665. He's called his junior crew
Copy !req
666. possibly the best
young oarsmen he has ever had.
Copy !req
667. Let's go, Washington!
Copy !req
668. Hi, Roger.
Copy !req
669. Don't try and do too much.
Listen to Moch.
Copy !req
670. Stay close, and we'll hope
Cal makes a mistake.
Copy !req
671. Stay calm
with the body.
Copy !req
672. Hold your hands up...
Copy !req
673. - Inspiring.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
674. Uh, you missed the part
where I told 'em
Copy !req
675. just to try not to tip over.
Copy !req
676. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
677. please take your seats.
Copy !req
678. Five minutes till the start.
Copy !req
679. Hey, uh, my boys are feeling
Copy !req
680. a little under
the weather, Al.
Copy !req
681. I hope you take it easy on us.
Copy !req
682. Not even
if I believed you, Ky.
Copy !req
683. Both teams are in position.
Copy !req
684. Winds are out of the north
at five miles an hour.
Copy !req
685. The temperature
is a mild 71 degrees.
Copy !req
686. All right, boys.
You heard Ulbrickson.
Copy !req
687. Stick close and hope
they make a mistake.
Copy !req
688. That's his way of saying
don't embarrass him
Copy !req
689. 'cause that's what he thinks
you're gonna do.
Copy !req
690. I say the hell with all that.
Copy !req
691. All these people didn't just
come to see you stick close.
Copy !req
692. Let's show Ulbrickson
what's in this boat.
Copy !req
693. Ready?
Copy !req
694. The oarsmen are at the ready.
Copy !req
695. - Row!
Row!
Copy !req
696. And they're off!
Copy !req
697. Washington
is slow off the block.
Copy !req
698. Step on 'em early!
38!
Copy !req
699. Let's go! Good.
Copy !req
700. Yeah, we got 'em.
Copy !req
701. All right.
Give me a nice, easy 28.
Copy !req
702. In and through.
Copy !req
703. And pull!
Copy !req
704. Washington's JV boat
Copy !req
705. is racing for the first time
in competition.
Copy !req
706. Cal breaks early.
Easy work.
Copy !req
707. Cal has
half a boat on Washington.
Copy !req
708. Easy, boys. Nice and easy.
Copy !req
709. Cal jumps out
to an early lead.
Copy !req
710. Washington is struggling
to keep pace.
Copy !req
711. That's right.
Just keep them in sight.
Copy !req
712. Don't sky the blade,
McMillin!
Copy !req
713. In, through.
Copy !req
714. In, through.
Copy !req
715. Shoulders loose.
Copy !req
716. In the legs!
Copy !req
717. Cal opening up
a full boat on Washington.
Copy !req
718. And at the quarter mark,
it's Cal up a full boat.
Copy !req
719. Come on!
Come on, Washington!
Copy !req
720. We got this, boys!
Come on.
Copy !req
721. Through.
Copy !req
722. In, through.
Copy !req
723. Don't panic, Bobby.
Copy !req
724. Don't rush.
Copy !req
725. Cal still showing
no signs of slowing down.
Copy !req
726. Washington is getting its
first taste of competition.
Copy !req
727. Something Coach Ulbrickson
can hope to build on.
Copy !req
728. Through! In, and through!
Copy !req
729. Push! Push!
Copy !req
730. All right, here we go, boys.
Copy !req
731. Give me 35.
Copy !req
732. Let's show 'em what we got.
Copy !req
733. Build! Build it!
Copy !req
734. What are they doing? I said
let Cal come back to them.
Copy !req
735. Now at the halfway mark.
Copy !req
736. The Huskies with a burst.
Copy !req
737. Just passing the halfway point
and Washington is surging.
Copy !req
738. Oh, you better be right, Moch.
Copy !req
739. In, through!
Copy !req
740. - In, through!
Here they come.
Copy !req
741. Here comes Washington.
Copy !req
742. Eyes up.
Copy !req
743. - Eyes up!
- Push!
Copy !req
744. They're past
the three-quarter mark.
Copy !req
745. Cal and Washington
are neck and neck!
Copy !req
746. - Go!
Row!
Copy !req
747. Stay loose!
Copy !req
748. Push! Push!
Copy !req
749. Cal is falling back.
Copy !req
750. Let's go!
Copy !req
751. Washington
is picking up the pace!
Copy !req
752. Washington's passing Cal!
Copy !req
753. And look at this.
Copy !req
754. The Washington boat
has taken the lead!
Copy !req
755. Washington by half a boat!
Copy !req
756. - Row! Let's go!
- Come on!
Copy !req
757. Two hundred meters to go!
Copy !req
758. - Washington is pulling ahead!
- Twenty more strokes!
Copy !req
759. Come on, come on.
Copy !req
760. Come on! Go!
Copy !req
761. Washington
by a full boat!
Copy !req
762. In and through!
One hundred meters!
Copy !req
763. - Fifteen more!
Copy !req
764. Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
765. Through! Ten more!
Copy !req
766. Fifty meters!
Copy !req
767. Fifty meters!
Copy !req
768. Washington is going to do it!
Copy !req
769. You got this!
In and through!
Copy !req
770. Push!
Copy !req
771. Twenty-five meters!
Copy !req
772. And there's the flag!
Copy !req
773. Washington has done it!
Copy !req
774. Washington's junior boat has
won their first competition!
Copy !req
775. Yeah!
Copy !req
776. What a promising start
for these young men!
Copy !req
777. Jesus!
Copy !req
778. I got nine seconds
under the course record.
Copy !req
779. Same.
Copy !req
780. And the final third
is faster than the first.
Copy !req
781. Where the hell
did that come from?
Copy !req
782. I guess that little runt
knew what he was doin'.
Copy !req
783. - Yeah!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
784. It's all you, boys!
Copy !req
785. All you!
Copy !req
786. - Yeah!
Copy !req
787. One!
Copy !req
788. Two!
Copy !req
789. Three!
Copy !req
790. I like your hat.
Thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
791. Come on!
Copy !req
792. Washington!
Copy !req
793. Come on!
Copy !req
794. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
795. Hi.
Copy !req
796. I could get used to this.
Copy !req
797. How did your first win feel?
Copy !req
798. Great.
Copy !req
799. Next one's
gonna be even faster.
Copy !req
800. How did you go so fast?
Copy !req
801. Oh, we just rowed
as quick as we could.
Copy !req
802. It must have been hard,
even though you're strong.
Copy !req
803. You get tired?
Copy !req
804. Yeah, yeah,
it was pretty rough.
Copy !req
805. Too tired to go
someplace quiet
Copy !req
806. and show me how you did it?
Copy !req
807. Oh, hell no.
Copy !req
808. You know,
this might make all the times
Copy !req
809. Morris puked on my back
worth it.
Copy !req
810. I got this today.
Copy !req
811. Some fellow in a suit
just gave it to me.
Copy !req
812. Said us winning made him so
happy, he wanted me to have...
Copy !req
813. Shoot, we all made him happy,
Gordo.
Copy !req
814. Kid in my algebra class
Copy !req
815. offered to do
my homework for me.
Copy !req
816. - I let the sap do it.
- You should.
Copy !req
817. We keep on winnin',
Copy !req
818. we're gonna have it made
in this place.
Copy !req
819. - You did so good today.
- Huh?
Copy !req
820. I said you did so...
Copy !req
821. I said you did so good today.
Copy !req
822. Thank you.
Copy !req
823. It was... It was fun.
Copy !req
824. What?
Copy !req
825. Come here.
I said it was fun.
Copy !req
826. Do you wanna go
someplace quiet?
Copy !req
827. Watcha doin'?
Copy !req
828. I'm watching.
Copy !req
829. Why aren't you talking
to anybody?
Copy !req
830. I'm not much of a talker.
Copy !req
831. Ah.
Copy !req
832. Hey, look over there.
Copy !req
833. You see that beanpole
in the glasses?
Copy !req
834. Yeah.
Copy !req
835. He's studying Latin.
Copy !req
836. - Oh.
- Latin.
Copy !req
837. You don't have to say much.
Copy !req
838. Listen, Hume.
Copy !req
839. Tonight, not tomorrow night,
or next week.
Copy !req
840. Tonight is your best shot.
Copy !req
841. You go on. I think I'm okay.
Copy !req
842. Christ sake.
Copy !req
843. - Hey, listen up!
Copy !req
844. We got a musician
in our midst.
Copy !req
845. With a little encouragement,
Copy !req
846. we might just get him
to give us some live music.
Copy !req
847. Don Hume!
Copy !req
848. Get up here. Get up here.
Copy !req
849. Come on, Don!
Copy !req
850. No. No.
Copy !req
851. - Hey, watch out.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
852. Bobby, get the stool.
Copy !req
853. The piano man.
Copy !req
854. John, John, John, John,
John, John, John, John.
Copy !req
855. - No, no, no, no, no.
- There we go.
Copy !req
856. All ready for you there,
maestro.
Copy !req
857. - Let's hear it for Don!
Copy !req
858. Don Hume.
Copy !req
859. Come on, Don!
Copy !req
860. We know you can do it.
Copy !req
861. - Come on, Don.
- Come on, Donnie.
Copy !req
862. I don't think that
I should be here.
Copy !req
863. He can't be in here.
Copy !req
864. Oh, shut up, Carolyn.
Copy !req
865. I saw you smoking
at your window last week.
Copy !req
866. - It was too loud in there.
Yeah.
Copy !req
867. People are happy.
They're having fun.
Copy !req
868. Yeah, because of you.
Copy !req
869. Okay, I'm changing.
Copy !req
870. Eyes on the wall.
Copy !req
871. Right.
Copy !req
872. Did you know
you were gonna win?
Copy !req
873. No. My arms,
they were shaking.
Copy !req
874. I was so nervous.
Copy !req
875. We were all
screaming so loud.
Copy !req
876. The radio said it was
the fastest ever.
Copy !req
877. Yeah, that's
what Coach told us.
Copy !req
878. I bet you win every race.
Copy !req
879. Just don't get all stuck-up
and everything.
Copy !req
880. I just kept that in case
I ever ran into you again.
Copy !req
881. And had to, um...
Copy !req
882. prove that you had
that crush on me, like I said.
Copy !req
883. Miss Simdars,
open this door.
Copy !req
884. You... You should go.
Copy !req
885. You should go. You need to go.
You need to go.
Copy !req
886. Miss Simdars, open this door
right now, young lady.
Copy !req
887. If you have a male visitor
in there,
Copy !req
888. well, you know
the consequences.
Copy !req
889. One minute!
Copy !req
890. What?
- Is that too far?
Copy !req
891. - No.
- You're fine.
Copy !req
892. Miss Simdars!
Copy !req
893. Ain't we got fun?
Copy !req
894. Tax collector's getting closer
Copy !req
895. Still, we got fun
Copy !req
896. There's nothing surer
Copy !req
897. The rich get rich
and the poor get poorer
Copy !req
898. In the meantime,
in between time
Copy !req
899. Ain't we got fun?
Copy !req
900. Well done!
Copy !req
901. Okay! Yeah!
Copy !req
902. Don Hume,
ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
903. - Harvard, Yale?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
904. Both have put up times
we haven't gotten close to.
Copy !req
905. That's how it usually goes.
Copy !req
906. Kids back East are in boats
before they're in shoes.
Copy !req
907. Schools just have more talent
to choose from.
Copy !req
908. That's what money buys you.
Copy !req
909. We need an edge, Tom.
Copy !req
910. Through.
In and through.
Copy !req
911. In and through.
Copy !req
912. And through!
Copy !req
913. Eyes up!
Copy !req
914. In and through!
Copy !req
915. - Stand tall.
Copy !req
916. Legs through.
Copy !req
917. In and through.
Copy !req
918. Legs through.
Copy !req
919. Legs through.
Copy !req
920. Legs through.
Copy !req
921. In, through.
Copy !req
922. In, through.
Copy !req
923. In, through.
Copy !req
924. In, through.
Copy !req
925. In, through.
Copy !req
926. In, through.
Copy !req
927. In and through.
Copy !req
928. Legs through.
Copy !req
929. Legs through.
Copy !req
930. Way-nuff!
Copy !req
931. Everybody else tires
and they just get stronger.
Copy !req
932. That's the third time
they beat the varsity squad.
Copy !req
933. Maybe next time.
Copy !req
934. I just think
it's too big of a risk.
Copy !req
935. Poughkeepsie is more than just
the championship this year.
Copy !req
936. It's for the Olympics.
Copy !req
937. I know what
the race means, Tom.
Copy !req
938. Experience counts
for something in big races.
Copy !req
939. Half those guys on varsity
Copy !req
940. competed at Poughkeepsie
last year.
Copy !req
941. - And they lost.
- They're better this year.
Copy !req
942. If you didn't know their ages,
Copy !req
943. you didn't know how long
they've been rowing,
Copy !req
944. you're looking at both boats
for the first time...
Copy !req
945. A time trial in the backyard
does not count.
Copy !req
946. That is not the same thing
as a race.
Copy !req
947. Look at the competition times.
Copy !req
948. It's not that easy.
Copy !req
949. Come on, you know that.
Copy !req
950. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
951. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
952. You're acting like
the varsity boat is scrappin'.
Copy !req
953. You know that boat
hasn't lost a race either.
Copy !req
954. And it wasn't that long ago
Copy !req
955. you were just hopin'
the JV boat
Copy !req
956. was gonna make it to the
finish line without sinking.
Copy !req
957. Now, Al,
Copy !req
958. now you're talkin' about
putting all our chips on 'em.
Copy !req
959. Do you think varsity
could medal in Berlin?
Copy !req
960. We're not talkin'
about a medal.
Copy !req
961. We're talkin' about a shot
at gettin' there.
Copy !req
962. If they got there?
Copy !req
963. I don't know.
Copy !req
964. We need a win this year, Al.
Copy !req
965. The people who pay us,
they need a win.
Copy !req
966. You send a boat full of kids
down there
Copy !req
967. and they trip up,
Copy !req
968. you're sticking your neck
way out there.
Copy !req
969. Makes it a real easy target.
And mine, too.
Copy !req
970. I need this job.
Copy !req
971. What do you think, George?
Copy !req
972. Hmm.
Copy !req
973. When you were in a boat,
Copy !req
974. you rowed like no one else
that's ever come through here.
Copy !req
975. I remember watching you,
Copy !req
976. wondering how fast
one of my shells could go
Copy !req
977. if there were eight
just like you in it.
Copy !req
978. That bunch of kids
Copy !req
979. might be as close to that
as I'll ever get.
Copy !req
980. And if I send them out there
and they aren't ready?
Copy !req
981. Then it's like Tom said.
Copy !req
982. The axe will likely fall,
Copy !req
983. and fall hard.
Copy !req
984. Now you're starting
to sound like my wife.
Copy !req
985. Well, Hazel's a smart woman.
Copy !req
986. I'll take that
as a compliment.
Copy !req
987. Good morning, everybody.
Copy !req
988. Thank you.
Copy !req
989. Now, as we all know,
uh, the Poughkeepsie Regatta
Copy !req
990. is always the most important
race of the season.
Copy !req
991. This year, there's even more
riding on it,
Copy !req
992. because the winner will
qualify for an Olympic spot.
Copy !req
993. - Yes!
Copy !req
994. It's also a race that
the University of Washington
Copy !req
995. has not won
in almost two decades,
Copy !req
996. - but... but...
Copy !req
997. we have a boat this year
Copy !req
998. that I believe
could change all that.
Copy !req
999. A boat that could not only win
at Poughkeepsie,
Copy !req
1000. but
Copy !req
1001. is strong enough
to have a real shot in Berlin.
Copy !req
1002. And, uh...
Copy !req
1003. that boat is our junior boat.
Copy !req
1004. Yeah, you heard me.
Copy !req
1005. Listen, I understand
that that's unorthodox.
Copy !req
1006. - Unorthodox? It's insane.
- I'm doing everything I can...
Copy !req
1007. You can't do that.
Copy !req
1008. in the best interests
of our team
Copy !req
1009. and the University
of Washington.
Copy !req
1010. - Thank you.
Copy !req
1011. This is bullshit!
Copy !req
1012. Have you lost your mind?
Copy !req
1013. What about those boys
who spent
Copy !req
1014. the last four years
working for this?
Copy !req
1015. My job is to put the best boat
in the water, Ben.
Copy !req
1016. Your job? I pay for your job.
Copy !req
1017. Without the boosters,
where do you think
Copy !req
1018. the money for your boats
comes from, huh?
Copy !req
1019. For your goddamn salary?
Copy !req
1020. How about you let me
do my job?
Copy !req
1021. Let's just settle down
Copy !req
1022. and talk about this calmly.
Come on.
Copy !req
1023. There's nothin'
to talk about, Jay.
Copy !req
1024. My team, my decision.
Copy !req
1025. Then it's not your team
anymore.
Copy !req
1026. I'll make sure
your ass is fired
Copy !req
1027. before the train leaves
for Poughkeepsie.
Copy !req
1028. - Ben, we're not gonna get...
- All right.
Copy !req
1029. Bolles is just as capable
as you.
Copy !req
1030. Better even.
Copy !req
1031. I'd do the same as Al.
Copy !req
1032. I hope you know
what you're doing.
Copy !req
1033. Ben!
Copy !req
1034. Do I?
Copy !req
1035. Sure you do.
Copy !req
1036. I can't believe
you're going to the Olympics.
Copy !req
1037. We gotta beat
those other schools first,
Copy !req
1038. but Coach says we have
as good a shot as anybody.
Copy !req
1039. You can't flirt with any
of those New York girls.
Copy !req
1040. What's wrong?
Copy !req
1041. Be back in a second.
Copy !req
1042. Joe?
Copy !req
1043. Saw your picture in the paper.
Copy !req
1044. Harry Junior clipped it out.
Copy !req
1045. When did you get back
from California?
Copy !req
1046. Couple of years.
Copy !req
1047. You know, things weren't
much better down there.
Copy !req
1048. So, you've been here
all that time?
Copy !req
1049. Down the road a bit.
Copy !req
1050. Were you ever gonna tell me?
Copy !req
1051. You're doin' all right.
Copy !req
1052. I was 14 when you left.
Copy !req
1053. I went to war
when I was that age.
Copy !req
1054. So, what do you wanna do, Joe?
Copy !req
1055. Huh?
Copy !req
1056. Move home?
Copy !req
1057. I mean, I could use the help.
Copy !req
1058. Tell you what,
I'll pay you a dollar a day
Copy !req
1059. if you still remember
how to cut a tree.
Copy !req
1060. Or maybe you'd rather
just keep rowing your boat.
Copy !req
1061. You don't owe me a thing, Joe.
Copy !req
1062. I don't owe you.
Copy !req
1063. You're doing just fine.
Copy !req
1064. I'll pass on regards.
Copy !req
1065. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1066. Works out for the best.
Copy !req
1067. Yeah, but that doesn't
make it okay.
Copy !req
1068. Maybe.
Copy !req
1069. I gotta go.
Copy !req
1070. You should come get some sleep
Copy !req
1071. before the sun rises
over that.
Copy !req
1072. I'll be in there soon.
Copy !req
1073. I sure love that view.
Copy !req
1074. I know.
Copy !req
1075. I just wish I could enjoy it
the way I used to.
Copy !req
1076. Why don't you
Copy !req
1077. come see if there's
another view you can enjoy?
Copy !req
1078. Okay.
Copy !req
1079. Thank you.
Copy !req
1080. We're gonna be the fastest
crew the world has ever seen.
Copy !req
1081. Bring home
the championship, Al!
Copy !req
1082. - And a gold medal!
- We'll try.
Copy !req
1083. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
1084. We might wanna try
and win this thing, huh?
Copy !req
1085. No pressure.
Copy !req
1086. Good luck!
- Bring it home, boys!
Copy !req
1087. I'll be listening
on the radio.
Copy !req
1088. Say hello
if they interview you.
Copy !req
1089. This might be a good time
to tell you
Copy !req
1090. that I'm in love with you,
Joe.
Copy !req
1091. All aboard!
- All right. I gotta go.
Copy !req
1092. Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
1093. Yeah, she looked at me.
Copy !req
1094. Rantz!
Copy !req
1095. I'm busted.
Someone give me a penny.
Copy !req
1096. Lucky, I'll let you watch.
Copy !req
1097. Hey, Joe, give me your jacket.
Copy !req
1098. That'll get me halfway
to ante.
Copy !req
1099. Joe, stick around.
Copy !req
1100. Hey, don't run away,
Hobo Joe.
Copy !req
1101. He's playin'.
Copy !req
1102. He's playin'. He's playin'.
Copy !req
1103. He's playin'.
Copy !req
1104. - Jesus, Chuck.
- Was just jokin'.
Copy !req
1105. Yeah, well,
your jokes are lousy.
Copy !req
1106. I didn't mean anything by it.
Copy !req
1107. Truth is, my old man
went bust years ago, so...
Copy !req
1108. Any new clothes I wear,
I swipe from Woolworth's.
Copy !req
1109. Doesn't matter.
Copy !req
1110. Just sayin'
we're not different.
Copy !req
1111. You and me.
Copy !req
1112. Except you're not a thief.
Copy !req
1113. One! Way-nuff!
Copy !req
1114. Drop it.
Copy !req
1115. Again! Need to get sharper.
Copy !req
1116. Come on.
Copy !req
1117. You guys are out of sync.
Find Hume.
Copy !req
1118. Take it off Hume.
Copy !req
1119. Look like a team, fellas.
Copy !req
1120. As one.
Copy !req
1121. You're out of sync.
Copy !req
1122. Okay, no, no. Way-nuff.
Copy !req
1123. - Where are we off?
Hey, Joe, you with us?
Copy !req
1124. - Me?
- Yeah, lock in on Don.
Copy !req
1125. What are you talkin' about?
I'm not the problem.
Copy !req
1126. Go again.
Copy !req
1127. Come on.
Copy !req
1128. In and through.
Copy !req
1129. In and through.
Copy !req
1130. All right, give me three more.
Three,
Copy !req
1131. two,
Copy !req
1132. one. Way-nuff!
Copy !req
1133. That'd get us a solid sixth.
Copy !req
1134. It's new water, they're still
getting comfortable.
Copy !req
1135. First times were faster.
Copy !req
1136. They're getting
less comfortable.
Copy !req
1137. What is the matter?
Copy !req
1138. Not in tune yet.
I'll get 'em there, Coach.
Copy !req
1139. Let's do it before the race,
Bobby.
Copy !req
1140. Go again.
Copy !req
1141. All right, fellas.
Port side, back it down.
Copy !req
1142. Starboard, tap on. Ready?
Copy !req
1143. Probably nervous.
Copy !req
1144. They're just kids, Al.
Copy !req
1145. That's why
everybody told me
Copy !req
1146. I was wrong for bringin' them.
Copy !req
1147. I just can't afford for them
to be kids.
Copy !req
1148. Not anymore.
Copy !req
1149. - It looks like they...
- I know what's wrong.
Copy !req
1150. Bring it in.
Copy !req
1151. You have 500 perfect meters.
Copy !req
1152. And then another five,
where it looks like
Copy !req
1153. you're rowing
eight different boats.
Copy !req
1154. The timing's
just a little off.
Copy !req
1155. Joe, where is your head at, son?
Copy !req
1156. - It's in the boat.
- No, it's not.
Copy !req
1157. You're setting your own pace.
Copy !req
1158. Your catch is higher
than the rest.
Copy !req
1159. - I'm trying to...
- Don't interrupt me.
Copy !req
1160. You're rowing like
you're in a single.
Copy !req
1161. We've been doing this
too goddamn long to forget
Copy !req
1162. you're in an eight-man shell.
Copy !req
1163. Now, do you wanna be
in the boat
Copy !req
1164. or am I'm gonna put
someone else in your seat?
Copy !req
1165. I don't care.
Copy !req
1166. Coy!
Copy !req
1167. You're in Rantz's seat.
Copy !req
1168. Get out.
You don't care? Get out.
Copy !req
1169. Coy, come on, let's go.
Copy !req
1170. Looks like
you're racin' tomorrow.
Copy !req
1171. Now, maybe
we can row as a team.
Copy !req
1172. And just go talk to Coach,
tell him you want back in.
Copy !req
1173. I'm not beggin' him
to give my place back.
Copy !req
1174. - I'm done with that.
- Where you gonna go?
Copy !req
1175. Ain't like you got money
enough for a train ticket.
Copy !req
1176. I'll figure somethin' out.
I always have.
Copy !req
1177. Are you gonna live in a car
in Poughkeepsie?
Copy !req
1178. Hello, Roger. Hello, Joe.
Copy !req
1179. I need to put another coat
on the Husky Clipper.
Copy !req
1180. I could use a hand.
Copy !req
1181. My grandfather would let me
help oil the shells he built.
Copy !req
1182. Most hate it
because of the smell.
Copy !req
1183. I catch the scent of whale oil
and immediately hear his voice
Copy !req
1184. telling me to,
"Keep putting it on
Copy !req
1185. "until you can see your
freckles in the reflection."
Copy !req
1186. That's how I'd know
it was good and slick.
Copy !req
1187. So it would cut through
the water like a knife blade.
Copy !req
1188. How it didn't matter
how fast someone rowed
Copy !req
1189. if the water didn't flow
across the hull
Copy !req
1190. in the exact right way.
Copy !req
1191. If the weight
wasn't balanced just right.
Copy !req
1192. Every piece working
with the other.
Copy !req
1193. It's the same with the crew.
Copy !req
1194. So much that there's really
no difference between the two.
Copy !req
1195. They're connected by
all the hours spent together.
Copy !req
1196. Sweat and pain
Copy !req
1197. bleeds into the grain as they
become one magical thing
Copy !req
1198. that moves across the water
Copy !req
1199. like it was born
to be nowhere else.
Copy !req
1200. I've built a lot of
good boats, but the best ones,
Copy !req
1201. the boats where
Copy !req
1202. every part fits
exactly as it should,
Copy !req
1203. where every man
Copy !req
1204. trusts the one behind him,
Copy !req
1205. they are the boats
people remember forever.
Copy !req
1206. That's what this boat
could be.
Copy !req
1207. Be a shame for anyone to miss
seeing how fast it could go
Copy !req
1208. with all the right pieces.
Copy !req
1209. Joe, your dad gave up on you.
He quit on you.
Copy !req
1210. All you know is quitting.
Copy !req
1211. But it seems to me
you're not him.
Copy !req
1212. Or are you?
Copy !req
1213. - Yes.
- Yes, it's very nice.
Copy !req
1214. If I can get you two
to just stand together.
Copy !req
1215. Just for one. And perfect.
Copy !req
1216. I'll, uh, see you over there.
Copy !req
1217. What can I do for you, Joe?
Copy !req
1218. I want my seat back.
Copy !req
1219. Why?
Copy !req
1220. All that time I spent in it,
Copy !req
1221. the work
we all did together...
Copy !req
1222. That boat...
Copy !req
1223. it's all I got.
Copy !req
1224. The boys and...
Copy !req
1225. It's all I got.
Copy !req
1226. I can't lose that.
Copy !req
1227. You know, one of the first
things I said to you boys was
Copy !req
1228. there's no shame if your body
can't hold up to this.
Copy !req
1229. The same goes for the mind.
Copy !req
1230. Listen, I know it isn't easy
to trust every other person
Copy !req
1231. on that boat
as much as you trust yourself.
Copy !req
1232. But it's not about you.
Copy !req
1233. As good as you are,
it's not about you, Joe,
Copy !req
1234. or me, or anybody else.
Copy !req
1235. It's about the boat.
Copy !req
1236. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1237. It's where I wanna be.
Copy !req
1238. Okay.
Copy !req
1239. Well, you better get dressed.
Copy !req
1240. Thank you.
Copy !req
1241. Really, thank you.
Copy !req
1242. Today's regatta
Copy !req
1243. is as much a social experiment
as it is a race.
Copy !req
1244. A clash of character.
Copy !req
1245. Of old money versus
no money at all.
Copy !req
1246. Six boats of want-to's against
one filled with have-to's.
Copy !req
1247. These nine working-class boys
arrived from the American West
Copy !req
1248. on the shoulders of a country
that sees itself
Copy !req
1249. in their determined
young faces.
Copy !req
1250. Sees their struggles,
their grit, their spirit.
Copy !req
1251. And they've claimed the
Husky Clipper as their own.
Copy !req
1252. Because it's a boat
full of underdogs
Copy !req
1253. representing an underdog nation.
Copy !req
1254. A nation of people
who have been beaten down
Copy !req
1255. but refuse to go away.
Copy !req
1256. Refuse to stop working hard,
'cause that's all they know.
Copy !req
1257. All they have ever done.
Copy !req
1258. So, find your place,
by the river or the radio.
Copy !req
1259. And cheer for guts
and heart and brawn
Copy !req
1260. to beat privilege and prestige
to the finish line today.
Copy !req
1261. Cheer for the boys
from Washington.
Copy !req
1262. Listen up.
We're in lane seven.
Copy !req
1263. Navy and Cal are gonna
wanna jump to a lead.
Copy !req
1264. We just let 'em.
Copy !req
1265. This is it, boys.
Copy !req
1266. Nice, strong start.
Copy !req
1267. We're gonna keep a 42 count
coming out, right?
Copy !req
1268. California's gonna
go out hard, okay?
Copy !req
1269. You gotta stick with them.
Copy !req
1270. As long as you're within
two lengths,
Copy !req
1271. - stay under a 30 stroke.
- How's your shoulder?
Copy !req
1272. - Are you okay?
- I'm good.
Copy !req
1273. I wanna see you push yourself
through that pain.
Copy !req
1274. Then go to a 35
at the halfway mark.
Copy !req
1275. You're gonna slow down and
ease into a nice, steady 34.
Copy !req
1276. Keep going, keep pushing.
Copy !req
1277. Keep pushing
all the way through.
Copy !req
1278. All the boats out in front
will start to tire
Copy !req
1279. and you'll just be
getting started.
Copy !req
1280. You know the plan.
Copy !req
1281. We'll save something
for the end.
Copy !req
1282. Four miles in a boat
should be nothing to you.
Copy !req
1283. This is your race, all right?
Copy !req
1284. This is our time.
Copy !req
1285. We know what we're doin'.
We've been here before, boys.
Copy !req
1286. Now better get out there and
show 'em what I already know.
Copy !req
1287. The Poughkeepsie Regatta.
Copy !req
1288. Today's regatta
is the greatest
Copy !req
1289. one-day rowing event
in America.
Copy !req
1290. - Watch your step.
- Coaches like Ky Ebright,
Copy !req
1291. Rusty Callow and Al Ulbrickson
Copy !req
1292. are not only hoping for a win,
Copy !req
1293. but a chance
to compete in Berlin.
Copy !req
1294. As rowing fans
board observation cars
Copy !req
1295. and crowd the shores
of the Hudson River,
Copy !req
1296. seven shells take their places
at the starting line.
Copy !req
1297. - Syracuse, Navy,
Copy !req
1298. Cornell, and Columbia,
Copy !req
1299. Penn, Cal, and Washington
ready themselves
Copy !req
1300. for what could be
the most important race
Copy !req
1301. of their young lives.
Copy !req
1302. A chance to compete
in the Olympics.
Copy !req
1303. Let's go.
Copy !req
1304. - Good luck, Jack.
- You, too.
Copy !req
1305. The starting gun is up.
Copy !req
1306. - Oars to frontstops.
Copy !req
1307. Nearly 100,000 spectators hold
their breath in anticipation.
Copy !req
1308. A hush falling
over Crum Elbow.
Copy !req
1309. - Row!
And here we go.
Copy !req
1310. Washington Huskies
are now rowing
Copy !req
1311. against the seniors of Cal.
Copy !req
1312. Huskies are the only junior
boat in the competition.
Copy !req
1313. Give me a nice, easy 28.
Copy !req
1314. Fall in with Don.
Copy !req
1315. In and through.
Copy !req
1316. These seven
finely trained crews
Copy !req
1317. are churning the waters
of the Upper Hudson
Copy !req
1318. in a supreme rowing test
Copy !req
1319. of power, speed
and coordination.
Copy !req
1320. Hold that pace, Bobby.
Copy !req
1321. And at the quarter mark,
we have California, Penn
Copy !req
1322. and Navy out in front
Copy !req
1323. with a half-boat lead
on the rest of the field.
Copy !req
1324. All right,
your stroke rate is perfect.
Copy !req
1325. Save your power.
Copy !req
1326. Let 'em get tired.
Copy !req
1327. Wear 'em down.
Copy !req
1328. Washington is falling
back to last place.
Copy !req
1329. Four lengths
behind the leaders.
Copy !req
1330. Now, Bobby.
Copy !req
1331. Save!
Copy !req
1332. Save power.
Copy !req
1333. Wear 'em down.
Copy !req
1334. - What's he doing?
- It has to be now.
Copy !req
1335. Come on, boys.
Copy !req
1336. Wait for it.
Copy !req
1337. Wait for it.
Copy !req
1338. All right, Don, give me 36.
Go!
Copy !req
1339. Legs through.
Copy !req
1340. Legs through.
Copy !req
1341. Legs through.
Copy !req
1342. And here they come.
Copy !req
1343. Looking for freshwater,
Copy !req
1344. Bobby Moch is steering
right into Syracuse's lane.
Copy !req
1345. - In and through.
Let's go.
Copy !req
1346. Legs up.
Copy !req
1347. Jab! Jab!
Copy !req
1348. Get off us!
Copy !req
1349. Hey, go to hell, Syracuse!
Copy !req
1350. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
1351. Washington
is passing Syracuse.
Copy !req
1352. And with a mile and a half
behind them,
Copy !req
1353. teams are falling away
Copy !req
1354. but no one is gaining
on California and Navy.
Copy !req
1355. Attaboy.
Copy !req
1356. Row! Row!
Copy !req
1357. Holding a four-length lead,
Copy !req
1358. Cal and Navy
are in a two-boat race.
Copy !req
1359. All right, give me 10 big ones
for Ulbrickson. Go!
Copy !req
1360. Washington
has picked up the pace.
Copy !req
1361. Bobby Moch finally getting
his crew in this race.
Copy !req
1362. The Huskies sweeping
by Cornell.
Copy !req
1363. Headed for Penn and Columbia.
Copy !req
1364. Navy and Cal still ahead
by four lengths.
Copy !req
1365. All right! Give me 40!
Copy !req
1366. Let's go!
Copy !req
1367. In, through!
Copy !req
1368. In, through!
Copy !req
1369. Washington is quickly
gaining on Columbia's Lions.
Copy !req
1370. Better not be too late.
Copy !req
1371. The Husky Clipper
bustles by Columbia...
Copy !req
1372. - Come on!
- ... and into third place!
Copy !req
1373. Come on!
Copy !req
1374. Push! Extend!
Copy !req
1375. Now, give me 10 more
Copy !req
1376. for Pocock!
Copy !req
1377. With 400 meters to go,
here comes Washington!
Copy !req
1378. In and through!
Copy !req
1379. In, through!
Copy !req
1380. In, through!
Copy !req
1381. - Through!
- Twenty more strokes!
Copy !req
1382. Nineteen!
Copy !req
1383. Washington
has taken second place!
Copy !req
1384. Do they have enough left
to catch Cal?
Copy !req
1385. Legs through!
Copy !req
1386. Come on, boys.
- Come on.
Copy !req
1387. You got this, boys.
Copy !req
1388. Look at Washington!
Copy !req
1389. I don't believe
what I'm seeing.
Copy !req
1390. Can the Huskies do it?
Can they do it?
Copy !req
1391. Give me 10 big ones
Copy !req
1392. for all the people
who didn't believe in you!
Copy !req
1393. Go!
Copy !req
1394. Give me Cal!
Copy !req
1395. I want Cal!
Copy !req
1396. Yeah, we're workin'! Whoo!
Copy !req
1397. They're making
their move!
Copy !req
1398. Boys, come on.
Copy !req
1399. Legs through!
Copy !req
1400. With 200 meters left,
Copy !req
1401. Washington is passing Cal!
Copy !req
1402. Washington is passing Cal!
Copy !req
1403. In, through!
Copy !req
1404. Eyes up!
Copy !req
1405. With 100 meters to go,
Washington is going to do it!
Copy !req
1406. Washington is going to do it!
Copy !req
1407. Through!
In and through!
Copy !req
1408. - Eyes up! In!
- Come on.
Copy !req
1409. Washington has won
the race, folks!
Copy !req
1410. Washington has won the race!
Copy !req
1411. - Washington has won!
Copy !req
1412. What a race!
Copy !req
1413. Coach Ulbrickson's big gamble
has paid off,
Copy !req
1414. ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
1415. The Washington Huskies
Copy !req
1416. are going to Berlin
to compete for gold.
Copy !req
1417. - What a race indeed!
- Yes!
Copy !req
1418. Oh...
Copy !req
1419. I do love your smile.
Copy !req
1420. You should do it more often.
Copy !req
1421. We did it, boys!
Copy !req
1422. I think that you were trying
to give us all a heart attack.
Copy !req
1423. I just didn't want to break
their rhythm till I had to.
Copy !req
1424. I honest to God didn't know
Copy !req
1425. there were this many shrimp
in the entire world.
Copy !req
1426. Do you mind sharing
with our listeners,
Copy !req
1427. what was the feeling
in the boat
Copy !req
1428. when you were
four lengths back?
Copy !req
1429. Was there any panic?
Copy !req
1430. Uh, there was no panic.
Copy !req
1431. All of us,
Copy !req
1432. we knew we could make up
the ground when we needed to.
Copy !req
1433. And, if I could,
Copy !req
1434. could I say hello
to my girl Joyce back home?
Copy !req
1435. I'll let you wear the gold
medal when I get back.
Copy !req
1436. That's right, folks.
Copy !req
1437. They'll be bringing
the gold medal home
Copy !req
1438. for all of us
back in Washington.
Copy !req
1439. Oh.
Copy !req
1440. This is great.
Copy !req
1441. So, you guys
all knew about it when?
Copy !req
1442. And I'm hearing
about it tonight?
Copy !req
1443. You know what
this sounds like to me?
Copy !req
1444. It sounds like you guys
are changing the rules
Copy !req
1445. because you're trying
to steal this from us.
Copy !req
1446. No one is trying to steal
anything, Coach Ulbrickson.
Copy !req
1447. I'm just speaking to you
Copy !req
1448. as the U.S. Rowing
Olympic Chairman
Copy !req
1449. and telling you the facts.
Copy !req
1450. U.S. Rowing
does not have the money
Copy !req
1451. to fund your trip to Berlin.
Copy !req
1452. And how is that even possible?
Copy !req
1453. It's not just rowing.
Copy !req
1454. Swimming, fencing.
Copy !req
1455. There are many other sports
that are dealing with...
Copy !req
1456. Exactly how much are we
supposed to come up with?
Copy !req
1457. - $5,000.
- Five?
Copy !req
1458. - In a week?
- In a week.
Copy !req
1459. And what if we can't
come up with it?
Copy !req
1460. Well, the committee
would have to find
Copy !req
1461. a suitable replacement
to compete in Berlin.
Copy !req
1462. Suitable like who, Henry?
Like your Penn squad?
Copy !req
1463. If necessary, yes.
Copy !req
1464. We'd of course give California
the first opportunity.
Copy !req
1465. Either team is a better option
Copy !req
1466. than not sending
a team at all.
Copy !req
1467. This is bullshit, Henry.
It's bullshit.
Copy !req
1468. You didn't expect us to win,
and we won.
Copy !req
1469. Yeah, you couldn't win
on the water. None of you.
Copy !req
1470. I don't like this situation.
Copy !req
1471. Now, you're makin' up
the rules. Bullshit.
Copy !req
1472. I don't like
the situation
Copy !req
1473. - any more than you do.
- Yeah, sure you don't.
Copy !req
1474. - Bullshit.
- We'll figure this out.
Copy !req
1475. How are we supposed to come up
with $5,000?
Copy !req
1476. Our university will reach out
to alumni and boosters.
Copy !req
1477. See if they can
scrape anything up.
Copy !req
1478. And if they can't find enough?
Copy !req
1479. Then it'd be Cal
Copy !req
1480. or Penn.
Copy !req
1481. We beat those guys.
Copy !req
1482. I know.
Copy !req
1483. No way we let those
rich pricks go instead of us.
Copy !req
1484. Then we better find
some money.
Copy !req
1485. Yeah.
Copy !req
1486. Al, where you goin'?
Copy !req
1487. Help us get to Berlin.
Copy !req
1488. Help send
the Huskies to Berlin.
Copy !req
1489. Thank you.
You have a nice day.
Copy !req
1490. - Thank you, sir.
- Sure.
Copy !req
1491. Hey, guys.
Copy !req
1492. The Olympic rowing team needs
your help to get to Berlin.
Copy !req
1493. We only got
a couple days left.
Copy !req
1494. Fellas, I got a dollar.
Copy !req
1495. Spare a couple dollars.
Help us beat the Germans.
Copy !req
1496. All right.
Copy !req
1497. Thanks. My name's Roger.
Copy !req
1498. Hey, I'm Chuck.
Copy !req
1499. Oh, please.
Copy !req
1500. Well, you're
running out of days, Coach.
Copy !req
1501. - You have what, four left?
- Three.
Copy !req
1502. And we've only gotten halfway
Copy !req
1503. to what the Olympic Committee
says we need.
Copy !req
1504. So,
if you don't raise the money,
Copy !req
1505. you go back to Seattle
Copy !req
1506. while some other team
goes to Berlin?
Copy !req
1507. Correct.
And that goes against
Copy !req
1508. everything sports should be about.
Copy !req
1509. Athletes should be rewarded
for performance.
Copy !req
1510. No politics,
Copy !req
1511. no adjusted scoring
or selection
Copy !req
1512. based on wealth and standing.
Copy !req
1513. May the best man win.
Copy !req
1514. That's what they say.
That's what it should be.
Copy !req
1515. These boys, Washington's boys,
Copy !req
1516. this country's boys,
Copy !req
1517. my boys,
Copy !req
1518. they have proven themselves
to be the best.
Copy !req
1519. Help us send
the Huskies to Berlin.
Copy !req
1520. A reminder, folks,
every little bit helps.
Copy !req
1521. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1522. Come on,
support our boys.
Copy !req
1523. All right. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1524. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1525. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Copy !req
1526. We got $92 from Tacoma
in honor of Roger Morris.
Copy !req
1527. $75 more from Sequim
for Joe Rantz.
Copy !req
1528. $90 from Olympia for Don Hume.
Copy !req
1529. Every hometown of these boys
has given somethin'.
Copy !req
1530. Pacific Telegraph
just sent $250 this evening.
Copy !req
1531. Where does that put us
Copy !req
1532. with everything else
we've got?
Copy !req
1533. Eh, close.
- But?
Copy !req
1534. Well, close is just close, Al.
Copy !req
1535. And we're out of time.
Copy !req
1536. Come on.
Copy !req
1537. Mrs. Ulbrickson,
I'm looking for your husband.
Copy !req
1538. We still got four hours, Ky.
Copy !req
1539. Racing the clock as usual.
Copy !req
1540. I can't lie to you, Al.
Copy !req
1541. My boys would love
to go to Berlin.
Copy !req
1542. How short are you?
Copy !req
1543. $300.
Copy !req
1544. Give or take.
Copy !req
1545. Hmm.
Copy !req
1546. May I?
Copy !req
1547. This is from the Cal Bears.
Copy !req
1548. An IOU for $300.
Copy !req
1549. Give or take.
Copy !req
1550. Ky.
Copy !req
1551. No one deserves to go
but your boys.
Copy !req
1552. Gentlemen.
Copy !req
1553. Mrs. Ulbrickson.
Copy !req
1554. And if there's any extra, you
can bring me back a souvenir.
Copy !req
1555. Aboard the SS Manhattan,
Copy !req
1556. a shipload of American
athletes sails for Hamburg.
Copy !req
1557. The Olympic Games, their goal.
Copy !req
1558. Here is Jesse Owens,
Copy !req
1559. the one-man track team
from the University of Ohio.
Copy !req
1560. Some say, "The greatest ever."
Copy !req
1561. More than 300 athletes
will march ashore
Copy !req
1562. on German soil,
ready to fight for gold.
Copy !req
1563. Among the participants are
the University of Washington's
Copy !req
1564. junior varsity
eight-man rowing crew.
Copy !req
1565. The boat is ready to do battle
Copy !req
1566. with the likes of Italy,
Great Britain
Copy !req
1567. and Germany,
Copy !req
1568. all favorites in this
most grueling of events.
Copy !req
1569. In Berlin, the preparations
for the Games are complete,
Copy !req
1570. and the German people
are ready to welcome
Copy !req
1571. athletes from 52 countries.
Copy !req
1572. German Chancellor Adolf Hitler
Copy !req
1573. has promised a spectacle
like no other,
Copy !req
1574. and plans to attend
a variety of events.
Copy !req
1575. In Hamburg, thousands
of cheering Germans
Copy !req
1576. welcome the Americans
as they ready to disembark.
Copy !req
1577. These amateur athletes
Copy !req
1578. have sacrificed so much
to represent their country,
Copy !req
1579. and as the opening of
the Games is just days away,
Copy !req
1580. Americans at home and abroad
Copy !req
1581. look forward to rooting
for these dedicated athletes.
Copy !req
1582. - Hi.
Copy !req
1583. All right.
Copy !req
1584. Get changed,
we'll go look over the course.
Copy !req
1585. This is great.
Copy !req
1586. Not bad.
Copy !req
1587. - This'll do.
- It's better than back home.
Copy !req
1588. Heil Hitler.
Copy !req
1589. Remember the Alamo.
Copy !req
1590. Joe, opening ceremony.
Copy !req
1591. Come on, you're gonna be late.
Copy !req
1592. I think I gotta skip.
Copy !req
1593. I'm just too tired.
Copy !req
1594. Why, what's the problem, Don?
Copy !req
1595. Don doesn't feel so great.
Copy !req
1596. Go join the rest.
I'll, uh... I'll stay.
Copy !req
1597. I'll hang back. You need
to walk with your team.
Copy !req
1598. Thanks, George.
Copy !req
1599. All right, get some rest.
Copy !req
1600. Try and eat somethin'.
Copy !req
1601. Ungarn.
Copy !req
1602. You're Jesse, right?
Jesse Owens?
Copy !req
1603. I am.
Copy !req
1604. You really the fastest man
in the world?
Copy !req
1605. - I don't know.
- Folks around here say
Copy !req
1606. you're gonna win
every race you're in.
Copy !req
1607. Well, I hope so.
Copy !req
1608. Show those Germans what for,
all right?
Copy !req
1609. No.
- No?
Copy !req
1610. Not the Germans.
Copy !req
1611. The folks back home.
Copy !req
1612. United States of America.
Copy !req
1613. The Hungarian team
Copy !req
1614. offering their respect
to the German leader.
Copy !req
1615. - And here come the Americans.
Copy !req
1616. With no salute
from the United States.
Copy !req
1617. Sounds like the boys
are making friends.
Copy !req
1618. All right,
the winds are up.
Copy !req
1619. That's good for us.
You're protected in lane two.
Copy !req
1620. Let all the other boats
farther out
Copy !req
1621. deal with the gusts.
Copy !req
1622. Bobby, the tighter
you hold the line,
Copy !req
1623. the smoother the ride.
Copy !req
1624. Now, three prelims.
Copy !req
1625. The winner of each gets an
automatic berth in the finals.
Copy !req
1626. That is what you want.
You want a day off
Copy !req
1627. and let the other teams
wear themselves out
Copy !req
1628. with an extra race.
Copy !req
1629. So, do not hold back.
Copy !req
1630. Great Britain's the team
to watch in our heat.
Copy !req
1631. Bobby,
not another Poughkeepsie.
Copy !req
1632. They won't fade like Cal,
Copy !req
1633. so never let them get
more than two lengths up.
Copy !req
1634. Fellas, you've earned this.
Copy !req
1635. They don't give
gold medals for style.
Copy !req
1636. All that matters is how fast
you are on the water.
Copy !req
1637. And nobody here is faster.
Copy !req
1638. Legs through!
Copy !req
1639. And the
Americans are already leading
Copy !req
1640. by half a boat
over Great Britain
Copy !req
1641. and looking for more.
Copy !req
1642. Followed by France
and Czechoslovakia.
Copy !req
1643. In, through!
In, through!
Copy !req
1644. Stroke Ran Laurie
Copy !req
1645. is digging furiously
for the British boat.
Copy !req
1646. But the Americans
Copy !req
1647. are pouring it on now,
extending their lead.
Copy !req
1648. Eyes up. In, through!
Copy !req
1649. And through!
Copy !req
1650. And with
only 100 meters to go,
Copy !req
1651. the Americans could be closing
in on an Olympic record.
Copy !req
1652. Eyes up!
Copy !req
1653. Six minutes
point eight seconds.
Copy !req
1654. A new Olympic record!
Copy !req
1655. The United States has won!
Copy !req
1656. You all right?
Hey, you know we won?
Copy !req
1657. Don, are you okay?
- You know we won, right? Huh?
Copy !req
1658. Hey.
- Come on. Come on.
Copy !req
1659. Good race.
Copy !req
1660. Olympic record's a nice start.
Copy !req
1661. But all that does is get us
into the race that matters.
Copy !req
1662. Nobody is gonna remember you
set a record at a preliminary.
Copy !req
1663. Now...
Copy !req
1664. let's go see
what we're up against.
Copy !req
1665. Good job.
Copy !req
1666. Way to go. Way to go.
Copy !req
1667. Good work, boys.
Copy !req
1668. Singles, doubles,
Copy !req
1669. fours, they haven't lost
a race yet.
Copy !req
1670. Fast.
Copy !req
1671. Don, come on.
Copy !req
1672. Hey, come on.
Copy !req
1673. You all right?
Copy !req
1674. Coach! Coach!
Copy !req
1675. - You okay?
- Mm-hmm. I'm just worn out.
Copy !req
1676. Thank you, Doctor.
Thanks for your help.
Copy !req
1677. What's the word?
Copy !req
1678. Some kind of bug.
They're not sure what.
Copy !req
1679. Right now,
he's very dehydrated.
Copy !req
1680. He needs rest.
Copy !req
1681. And y'all stay away from him
for the next 24 hours.
Copy !req
1682. We can't afford
losing anybody else.
Copy !req
1683. What do you mean, "losing"?
Copy !req
1684. If he's still like this
in two days, he's not racing.
Copy !req
1685. Lane assignments
for the finals.
Copy !req
1686. You can't change the rules
Copy !req
1687. in the middle
of a competition!
Copy !req
1688. The fastest qualifiers
earn the favored lanes.
Copy !req
1689. That is the way
it's always been.
Copy !req
1690. And we posted the best time,
Copy !req
1691. and you've gone
and stuck us on the outside.
Copy !req
1692. This was the lane formula
the committee decided on.
Copy !req
1693. When? Right after your squad
Copy !req
1694. posted the slowest
qualifying time?
Copy !req
1695. Be careful of your
accusations, Coach Ulbrickson.
Copy !req
1696. You've seen the winds
on that course and you know
Copy !req
1697. there's a two-length
disadvantage when it blows.
Copy !req
1698. I'm sure your crew
will manage.
Copy !req
1699. The forecasters
expect a calm day.
Copy !req
1700. Well...
Copy !req
1701. We'll protest this.
Copy !req
1702. Noted. And good luck.
Copy !req
1703. All right.
Listen up, boys.
Copy !req
1704. It's a tough lane,
so you gotta start quick.
Copy !req
1705. You gotta keep them in sight.
Copy !req
1706. That wind will be blocked
for the last 500 meters.
Copy !req
1707. And that's your shot.
Copy !req
1708. That's where
you're gonna take 'em,
Copy !req
1709. but only if you keep 'em
in sight.
Copy !req
1710. Listen, every one
of those teams
Copy !req
1711. have trained their whole lives
for this moment.
Copy !req
1712. They're all legacies.
Copy !req
1713. We're not.
Copy !req
1714. Row for your country.
Copy !req
1715. Row for each other.
Copy !req
1716. Row for that one moment
when everything
Copy !req
1717. that's stacked against you
can take a back seat.
Copy !req
1718. For what it's worth,
I'm proud of you boys.
Copy !req
1719. All right, push off.
Copy !req
1720. What?
Copy !req
1721. Nothin'.
Copy !req
1722. They might
as well have stuck us
Copy !req
1723. out on the North Atlantic.
Copy !req
1724. Thousands of
people are taking their seats,
Copy !req
1725. gathered for
the Men's Eights finals.
Copy !req
1726. The world's
six best rowing teams
Copy !req
1727. in one last race for the gold.
Copy !req
1728. Germany, Italy, Hungary.
Copy !req
1729. Germany has taken gold in
singles, doubles, and fours,
Copy !req
1730. and they're looking
for a sweep.
Copy !req
1731. Switzerland, Great Britain,
and the United States
Copy !req
1732. round out the six.
Copy !req
1733. The boys from Washington
so close
Copy !req
1734. to bringing an Olympic title
back to Seattle.
Copy !req
1735. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1736. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1737. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1738. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1739. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1740. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1741. Don, you okay?
Copy !req
1742. - You got this, Don, all right?
Copy !req
1743. Hey, what'd he say?
Copy !req
1744. All right.
Come on, let's win this.
Copy !req
1745. Oars ready.
Copy !req
1746. Come on.
Copy !req
1747. All right,
we got two lengths of wind
Copy !req
1748. to make up on this bunch.
Copy !req
1749. - So, we start at 38.
Copy !req
1750. Bobby! Bobby!
Copy !req
1751. Shit! Row! Row!
Copy !req
1752. Come on.
Copy !req
1753. Oh, God! He couldn't hear him.
Copy !req
1754. The Americans
have stumbled out of the gate,
Copy !req
1755. already a full boat behind.
Copy !req
1756. Legs through.
Copy !req
1757. All right, now move to 30.
Copy !req
1758. Go! In, through.
Copy !req
1759. Legs through!
Copy !req
1760. In, through! In!
Copy !req
1761. All right. We got 38!
Copy !req
1762. Give me 40!
Copy !req
1763. In, through!
Copy !req
1764. In, through!
Copy !req
1765. In, through! Go!
Copy !req
1766. Come on, Don, pick it up.
Copy !req
1767. In the legs! In, through!
Copy !req
1768. In, through!
Copy !req
1769. - In, through!
- It's time to move!
Copy !req
1770. Come on, Don.
Copy !req
1771. Go, Don!
Copy !req
1772. Come on, boys.
Copy !req
1773. Germany is just behind Italy,
Copy !req
1774. followed by Great Britain.
Copy !req
1775. The U.S. still in last,
well behind Hungary.
Copy !req
1776. Give me more!
Gotta have more!
Copy !req
1777. Come on, Don. Give me 40.
Copy !req
1778. In the legs.
Copy !req
1779. - Push it, Don.
Come on, Don!
Copy !req
1780. Now would be a good time,
Hume!
Copy !req
1781. Come on, Don! Pick it up!
Copy !req
1782. Don, come on.
Copy !req
1783. Come on, Don.
Copy !req
1784. Come on, Don.
Copy !req
1785. Gotta give me 40. You have it.
Copy !req
1786. Give it to me.
Copy !req
1787. Come on, give me 40.
Copy !req
1788. Come on, Don.
Copy !req
1789. Come on!
Copy !req
1790. Don!
Copy !req
1791. Don!
Copy !req
1792. Don! Come on!
Copy !req
1793. Every morning, every evening
Copy !req
1794. Ain't we got fun?
Copy !req
1795. Not much money, oh, but honey
Copy !req
1796. Ain't we got...
Copy !req
1797. That's right, Don! Give me 40!
Copy !req
1798. Go! Through!
Copy !req
1799. - Legs through!
Copy !req
1800. Eyes up!
Copy !req
1801. Stay low!
Copy !req
1802. - Stay loose!
And here comes
Copy !req
1803. the United States
with a burst.
Copy !req
1804. Row!
Copy !req
1805. As one!
Copy !req
1806. As one!
Copy !req
1807. Nearing the 500-meter mark,
Copy !req
1808. the Americans have caught up
Copy !req
1809. to the Hungarian
and Swiss teams.
Copy !req
1810. Stay!
Copy !req
1811. And through! In, through!
Copy !req
1812. The Americans have overtaken
Copy !req
1813. the Swiss
and the Hungarian boats.
Copy !req
1814. Germany and Italy
share the lead,
Copy !req
1815. with Great Britain trailing.
Copy !req
1816. Legs loose!
Copy !req
1817. In, through!
Copy !req
1818. In and through!
Copy !req
1819. Four! Five!
Copy !req
1820. In, through!
Copy !req
1821. Give me 42!
Copy !req
1822. Now!
Copy !req
1823. In, through!
Copy !req
1824. Breathe!
Copy !req
1825. - Legs through!
In, through!
Copy !req
1826. Fifteen more! In!
Copy !req
1827. - Come on.
Through!
Copy !req
1828. Ten more!
Copy !req
1829. Shoulders down and loose.
Copy !req
1830. Stand tall!
Copy !req
1831. In, through!
Copy !req
1832. And the Americans
continue strong,
Copy !req
1833. moving past Great Britain
and headed for third.
Copy !req
1834. The U.S. is moving
into medal position.
Copy !req
1835. Through! Eyes up!
Copy !req
1836. In, through!
Copy !req
1837. Give me 46!
Copy !req
1838. Go!
Copy !req
1839. 300 meters,
and the Americans
Copy !req
1840. have pulled even!
Copy !req
1841. The boats are
three across now.
Copy !req
1842. 250 meters to go.
Copy !req
1843. Come on,
come on, come on.
Copy !req
1844. Legs through!
Copy !req
1845. It's a three-boat race.
Copy !req
1846. Who's going to break?
Copy !req
1847. It's Germany, Italy.
Copy !req
1848. Italy, Germany.
Copy !req
1849. The U.S. and Italy.
Copy !req
1850. It's just too close.
Copy !req
1851. Stay low!
Copy !req
1852. 100 meters to go.
Copy !req
1853. It's neck and neck.
Copy !req
1854. Come on.
Copy !req
1855. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1856. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1857. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1858. In, through!
Copy !req
1859. In, through!
Copy !req
1860. In, through!
Copy !req
1861. Give it everything! Go!
Copy !req
1862. Stay central!
Copy !req
1863. Eyes up!
Copy !req
1864. As one!
Copy !req
1865. As one!
Copy !req
1866. As one!
Copy !req
1867. Off the man in front of you!
Copy !req
1868. In, through!
Copy !req
1869. Go! In, through!
Copy !req
1870. Eyes up!
Copy !req
1871. In the legs!
Copy !req
1872. Deutschland! Deutschland!
Copy !req
1873. Germany, Italy, America.
Copy !req
1874. Deutschland!
Deutschland!
Copy !req
1875. And that's it!
Copy !req
1876. That's it!
Copy !req
1877. The results are just too close
for this reporter to tell.
Copy !req
1878. Come on.
Copy !req
1879. Who won?
Copy !req
1880. The German fans believe
Copy !req
1881. they've got their sixth win
of these 1936 Olympics.
Copy !req
1882. We can only sit and wait
for the results.
Copy !req
1883. Did you see?
Copy !req
1884. - America.
Copy !req
1885. The United States
has won the gold!
Copy !req
1886. Good job, Johnny.
Copy !req
1887. We did it, boys!
Copy !req
1888. Come on!
Copy !req
1889. One hell of a stroke.
Copy !req
1890. America has done it!
Copy !req
1891. - They've won the gold!
Copy !req
1892. - Hell of a race.
Copy !req
1893. - You did it, Al. You did it.
- I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
1894. We did it.
Copy !req
1895. How about this, huh?
Copy !req
1896. Mm-hmm.
How about this?
Copy !req
1897. Anything you'd like to say
about those boys, Al?
Copy !req
1898. They are the finest
I ever saw seated in a shell.
Copy !req
1899. Not bad, huh, fellas?
Copy !req
1900. Did you see that?
Copy !req
1901. Boat pushed me
right into the bank.
Copy !req
1902. - Look at this.
- Don't worry, we'll fix it.
Copy !req
1903. Hey, Grandpa?
Copy !req
1904. You think someday
I can row crew?
Copy !req
1905. Well, you gotta keep at it.
Copy !req
1906. Did you like rowing
eight-man crew?
Copy !req
1907. - Eight?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1908. We were never eight.
Copy !req
1909. We were one.
Copy !req
