It was impressive.

But none of it ever made you

quite as big a man to me...

as you were on the floor

of Sarge's hamburger joint.

When you tumbled rearward...

and landed crashing

into that pile of dirty dishes...

you were at last my hero.

That's what you always wanted to be.

Could be.

When we went into that place,

before the fight started...

What a fight! It was glorious!

Before we went in,

I was feeling like you are now.

I was thinking to myself:

"Well...

"Jordan and I, and the others behind us,

have been failures".

And then it happened.

You wound up on the floor, on your back,

in the middle of the salad.

And I said to myself:

"Well...

"after 100 years...

"the Benedict family...

"is a real big success".

You want to know something, Leslie?

If I live to be 90...

I'll never be able to figure you out.
