to the ranks of

the cultural elite

and the leaders of

the country.

All you have to do is become

a little more active

in college affairs, you know,

and mix, accept the views of

others and, you know,

put aside this notion of

absolute biblical truth.

"When I was a child,

I thought like a child,

"I talked like a child,

I reasoned like a child,

"and when I became a man,

I put aside

my childish ways. "

I didn't know you were

religious, Professor Allitt.

What do you mean?

Quoting first Corinthians,

13:
11.

I'm not religious.

You don't have to be religious

to know the Bible.

Then it's Sun Tzu...

"Know your enemy. "

oh, my gosh.

You think that-

That we're your enemy?

We are trying to help you.

You believe that,

don't you, Kerry?

We are trying to help you.

of course.

Kerry, you have such a passion,

it's a wonderful thing,

it just needs to be redirected.

You must accept the reality of

the postmodern world,

there is no truth.

Truth is relative.

Reason and rationality

are social biases.

All lifestyles, religions

and worldviews are equally valid

and the only real sin is that of

criticizing someone else's views

or moral choices.

Think about what

I'm saying, Kerry,

and put aside

the childish ways.

Kerry, don't let this adherence

to something your parents

might have believed

stand between you

and a wonderful life.

Between you and a career.

Between you

and an opportunity to serve

as a member of an elite group

and to help shape

a brave new future.

We'll plan to talk about this

a bit more next week, okay?

Dr. Allitt:
I have some

reservations...

Put aside this notion of

absolute biblical truth...

...something your parents

might have believed

stand between

you and a career.

# Rudolph

the red-nosed reindeer #

# Had a very shiny nose #

# And if you ever saw it

you would even say it glows #

# All of the other reindeer #

# Used to laugh

and call him names #

# They never let poor Rudolph #

# Join in any

reindeer games #

# Then one foggy

Christmas Eve #

# Santa came to say #

# Rudolph with your nose

so bright #

# Won't you guide

my sleigh tonight? #

# Then all the reindeer

loved him #

# And danced around with glee #

oh, come on, man.

Hi, how are you?

oh, you remember my friends

Rita and Michaele.

What's going on?

Shane,

what is the surprise?

Just be patient, be patient.

I'm so anxious.

You're not gonna sing,

are you?

That I am.

# You'll go down in history ##

Great job.

# No one seems to notice #

# The man beside the road #

# He was just a ragged soldier

out there in the cold #

# But he seemed

to have a purpose #

# only known to him #

# As he walked along the streets

that night #

# To the town of Bethlehem #

# In his head he held a memory

of all the wars he'd known #

# In his hand

he clutched a medal #

# For the bravery he's shown #

# But the weight of every battle

he carried in his heart #

# But his eyes were clear #

# Searching for a manger

in the dark #

# Some are born for greatness #

# Some are born to fall #

# Some are bound

to be forgotten #

# Like they never lived at all #

# But we're all born

to know him #

# Stand before his light #

# Like a soldier who found

the king tonight #

# He had marched

for politicians #

# Served under their command #

# He had fought for all the

causes he did not understand #

# But something deep inside him

now led him on his way #

# With a single star to guide

him to where the baby lay #

# He stood before

the son of God #

# To come to pay our debt #

# He smiled up at the soldier

that the world #

# Will soon forget #

# He held up his medal and said,

"This for you I bring" #

# Then he swore allegiance

to the newborn baby king #

# Some are born

for greatness #

# Some are born to fall #

# Some are bound

to be forgotten #

# Like they never lived

at all #

# But we're all

born to know him #

# And stand before his light #

# Like a soldier who found

the king tonight #

# oh yeah #

# Like a soldier who found

the king #

# Tonight ##

( cheers and applause )

oh man, that was good, dude.

Aw, thanks, man.

It means a lot,

I appreciate it, bro.

Thanks, man.

Shane,

that was so beautiful.

Thank you, thank you.

Did you know he could

sing like that?

You know,

I've known him ten years

and I've never even

heard him sing.

So I had a few more questions

I'd like to ask you

for my story.

Do you think

I could see you tomorrow?

I've got something in the

morning, some personal stuff.

Is it with your mom?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because it's a personal matter

and it's not something

I want in your story.

I wouldn't

put it in my story

if you didn't want it there,

Blake.

There's more.

What?

My grandparents are trying to

take her off life support.

I'm going to the court

in the morning

to try to get

an injunction to stop them.

I'll come with you.

Part of your story?

No, as your friend.

Dalton:
We're meeting

Judge Hardin's court clerk

in the conference room "A."

Relax, don't say anything,

just follow my lead.

( phone ringing )

Dalton:
We're here to see

the clerk.

You two stay right there.

- Mr. Thomas?

- Yes.

Please, have a seat.

Judge Hardin will be joining you

in just a few moments.

man:
Thank you, thank you.

Keep seated, keep seated.

All right, we have a petition

here brought by Mr. Blake Truman

to adjoin his grandparents

from removing life support

from his mother,

Beverly Truman.

Mr. Thomas,

you may make your argument.

Your Honor, I represent

Blake Truman,

who opposes both the

rights of his grandparents

to order this life-ending action

as an action not permitted

under their

patient-advocate agreement.

He also contends this is

not a decision

with which

his mother would concur.

Are you represented

by counsel?

No, Your Honor, I'm not.

Are you comfortable proceeding

pro se,

representing yourself

without an attorney?

For what it's worth,

Your Honor,

I was the head of

my company for 35 years.

Well, let's see what

you have to say.

We have here

the patient-advocate form

signed by our daughter

giving us the right to-

Giving us the-

Giving us the right to take her

off life support, Your Honor.

She came to us after she was

first diagnosed

and she knew that there was very

little chance of her recovery,

and she didn't want to be

a burden to her-

To her parents

and to her son.

Mr. Truman, do you have

anything to add?

Your Honor.

Your Honor.

My mother would not

have wanted this.

She was always a fighter and

would never give up like this.

The idea of her being a burden,

it's just-

It's just not true.

When did you plan

to remove life support?

After Christmas,

on the 28th.

Well, I'll look over this

and let you know my decision

tomorrow.

That's all for now.

Look, I don't want

to sound like

the caricature

Christian girl here,

but prayer might give you some

peace of mind, Blake.

You know,

I tried that before.
