Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:03,147
Sure is some storm
a- brewin'.
2
00:00:04,940 --> 00:00:07,609
So, where you off to?
3
00:00:07,651 --> 00:00:09,736
However far it takes.
4
00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:13,073
- You don't expect me to stay around here, do you?
- Oh, no, not me.
5
00:00:13,157 --> 00:00:17,327
I consider it one of the six great miracles
of the world you was even there at all today.
6
00:00:17,411 --> 00:00:19,872
Let me help you
with these bags.
7
00:00:19,955 --> 00:00:22,541
You heard Adele.
8
00:00:22,624 --> 00:00:25,836
Bobby Jones never finished lower than
second in any tournament he ever played in.
9
00:00:25,919 --> 00:00:29,590
I believe Miss Adele said
he finished lower than second once.
10
00:00:29,673 --> 00:00:32,634
Must've been the week
he took his law exams.
11
00:00:32,676 --> 00:00:34,762
Yeah, I believe it was.
12
00:00:37,139 --> 00:00:40,976
Uh, you gonna be needin' these shoes
where you're goin', Mr. Junuh?
13
00:00:41,018 --> 00:00:42,978
They look like they
just about my size.
14
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:45,981
- Keep 'em.
- Thank you kindly, sir.
15
00:00:54,031 --> 00:00:56,909
Yep, sure is some storm
headin' this way.
16
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:07,419
It's a real pleasure
to welcome you to our home.
17
00:01:07,503 --> 00:01:10,172
It's a pleasure to be here, ma'am.
Thank you.
18
00:01:10,255 --> 00:01:12,466
Hardy, you take his belongin's
up to his room.
19
00:01:12,549 --> 00:01:15,344
- Then come right back. I got chores for you.
- Yes'm.
20
00:01:15,427 --> 00:01:19,139
I expect this is the most
exciting sportin' event ever.
21
00:01:19,223 --> 00:01:21,517
- Ain't it, Mr. Rice?
- Why is that, son?
22
00:01:21,558 --> 00:01:25,354
Why? 'Cause of Jones and Hagen.
They's out for blood.
23
00:01:25,395 --> 00:01:27,773
Oh, I didn't come
for Jones or Hagen.
24
00:01:27,856 --> 00:01:30,109
I came for Rannulph Junuh.
25
00:01:30,192 --> 00:01:33,821
You come all the way down
from New York City to see Junuh?
26
00:01:33,862 --> 00:01:35,823
Uh-huh.
27
00:01:35,906 --> 00:01:39,493
I saw Junuh play once.
Then he disappeared.
28
00:01:39,576 --> 00:01:43,372
I'd love to see him play again,
especially against Jones and Hagen.
29
00:01:45,916 --> 00:01:48,585
Go get 'em, Junuh!
You go get 'em!
30
00:01:48,669 --> 00:01:52,339
God bless you, Junuh!
Show 'em what Savannah's made of!
31
00:01:52,381 --> 00:01:56,218
- Go get 'em, Junuh!
- Hey, Junuh, give 'em hell!
32
00:01:58,554 --> 00:02:00,514
- "Give 'em hell. "
- You can do it!
33
00:02:19,575 --> 00:02:21,493
Damn.
34
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,601
So I takes it you was
interested in bein'...
35
00:03:27,684 --> 00:03:29,645
Mr. Junuh's forecaddie.
36
00:03:30,854 --> 00:03:33,273
- No.
- No?
37
00:03:33,357 --> 00:03:35,734
- No!
- No?
38
00:03:35,818 --> 00:03:37,778
Well, maybe I was,
39
00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:41,198
but I guess I just ain't
got the nerve to ask you yet.
40
00:03:41,281 --> 00:03:44,284
I ain't got the time to sit around
and wait, so here's what I'm proposin'.
41
00:03:44,368 --> 00:03:47,704
I'm gonna assume that just about the
moment you gets up the nerve to ask me...
42
00:03:47,788 --> 00:03:51,166
gonna be just about the same moment
I decide I'm gonna tell you yeah.
43
00:03:51,208 --> 00:03:53,544
How that suit you?
44
00:03:53,627 --> 00:03:57,089
- That suits me just fine, sir.
- Folks call me Bagger.
45
00:04:00,217 --> 00:04:02,761
Yes, sir, Bagger, sir.
46
00:04:02,845 --> 00:04:05,973
You may want to get to pickin'
all the crud out of Mr. Junuh's shoes.
47
00:04:06,056 --> 00:04:09,852
You through with that, we got us
some measurin' to do out on the course.
48
00:04:28,745 --> 00:04:32,708
Junuh knew now that if he were to have
any chance at all in the tournament,
49
00:04:32,750 --> 00:04:36,587
he had no choice but to
come to terms with his demons.
50
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:41,633
The only question
in Junuh's mind...
51
00:04:41,717 --> 00:04:44,928
was which demon was
givin' him the most aggravation.
52
00:04:45,012 --> 00:04:48,182
Bagger Vance
or Miss Adele Invergordon.
53
00:04:49,266 --> 00:04:51,185
Mr. Jones?
54
00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:53,520
Could you hold, please?
55
00:04:56,315 --> 00:04:58,734
Thank you very much,
Mr. Jones.
56
00:05:11,288 --> 00:05:13,749
Any time now. Okay.
57
00:05:14,792 --> 00:05:17,419
That's very nice.
58
00:05:17,461 --> 00:05:19,922
Thank you very much,
Mr. Hagen.
59
00:05:30,599 --> 00:05:33,185
Dancin' picture, sir?
60
00:05:34,978 --> 00:05:37,564
Thank you very much.
61
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:42,277
- ##- That's it. Very nice.
Look right over here.
62
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:45,739
Big smile. No, don't stop dancin'.
Stay together.
63
00:05:45,781 --> 00:05:48,700
Just pretend there's music.
Keep goin'. Keep goin'.
64
00:05:48,784 --> 00:05:51,829
Look right over here. Okay.
65
00:05:53,831 --> 00:05:55,833
Give me a smile.
66
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,878
Thank you very much.
67
00:06:05,509 --> 00:06:08,095
- May I have the pleasure of this dance, please?
- Yes.
68
00:06:15,686 --> 00:06:18,272
Longer.
69
00:06:18,355 --> 00:06:20,858
A little shorter.
70
00:06:20,941 --> 00:06:22,860
How's that?
71
00:06:22,943 --> 00:06:25,320
Yeah, that's good.
One stride equals a yard.
72
00:06:25,362 --> 00:06:27,948
You go on over to the tee
and start countin'.
73
00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:31,034
Top golfers always tried
to get a leg up on the competition...
74
00:06:31,118 --> 00:06:34,371
by havin' the men they trusted
most sneak onto the course at night...
75
00:06:34,455 --> 00:06:36,373
and do their own measurements.
76
00:06:36,457 --> 00:06:40,544
So Bagger and I walked the course
that night, measurin' away.
77
00:06:40,627 --> 00:06:42,755
Bagger never
wrote down a number.
78
00:06:42,838 --> 00:06:45,090
He filed it all
in his head.
79
00:06:48,886 --> 00:06:51,180
Hit one a little harder.
80
00:06:55,058 --> 00:06:57,311
Go on.
Do that again.
81
00:06:58,729 --> 00:07:02,816
Yeah, right here is
where this game is won,
82
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:06,320
right here on the green,
but first you got to see it.
83
00:07:06,361 --> 00:07:09,198
Sun gonna be there
in the mornin'
84
00:07:09,239 --> 00:07:12,201
over there in the afternoon.
85
00:07:12,284 --> 00:07:14,661
Funny thing is,
the blades of grass...
86
00:07:14,703 --> 00:07:17,289
are gonna follow the sun.
87
00:07:20,501 --> 00:07:22,503
The grain is gonna shift.
88
00:07:24,129 --> 00:07:26,340
That same putt...
89
00:07:26,381 --> 00:07:28,884
is gonna go one way
in the mornin',
90
00:07:28,926 --> 00:07:31,220
the other in the afternoon.
91
00:07:31,261 --> 00:07:34,223
One way in the mornin',
the other in the afternoon.
92
00:07:34,264 --> 00:07:36,100
You see that?
93
00:07:36,183 --> 00:07:39,895
Yeah, a golf course put folk
through quite a punishment.
94
00:07:41,230 --> 00:07:43,690
It lives and breathes
just like us.
95
00:07:44,733 --> 00:07:47,486
Do you think Junuh can win?
96
00:07:47,569 --> 00:07:51,198
Yeah, if he can find
his authentic swing.
97
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,033
Authentic?
98
00:07:54,743 --> 00:07:56,995
Go on.
Hit one more for me.
99
00:08:02,584 --> 00:08:05,003
Yep, inside each
and every one of us...
100
00:08:05,087 --> 00:08:07,214
is one true,
authentic swing.
101
00:08:07,297 --> 00:08:11,677
Somethin' we was born with,
somethin' that's ours and ours alone.
102
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,680
Somethin' that can't be
taught to you or learned.
103
00:08:14,763 --> 00:08:17,599
Somethin' that
got to be remembered.
104
00:08:17,683 --> 00:08:20,853
Over time, the world can
rob us of that swing.
105
00:08:20,936 --> 00:08:23,730
It get buried
inside us under...
106
00:08:24,898 --> 00:08:28,068
all our wouldas
and couldas and shouldas.
107
00:08:28,110 --> 00:08:31,572
Some folk even forget
what they swing was like.
108
00:08:32,781 --> 00:08:36,076
Some folk even forget
what they swing was like.
109
00:08:38,495 --> 00:08:41,915
- You keep swingin'.
- But I don't have any balls.
110
00:08:41,999 --> 00:08:45,794
Don't worry about hittin' the ball
the way it's gonna go.
111
00:08:45,836 --> 00:08:48,881
Just swing the club,
feel the club.
112
00:08:48,964 --> 00:08:51,091
Now close your eyes.
113
00:08:51,175 --> 00:08:54,928
- Close my- - You can't make
that ball goin that hole.
114
00:08:55,012 --> 00:08:57,973
You got to let it.
115
00:08:58,015 --> 00:09:02,019
I want you to feel that club,
feel the weight of the club.
116
00:09:02,102 --> 00:09:05,189
Settle in deeper, then
drop the ball soft as butter.
117
00:09:05,272 --> 00:09:08,108
Listen to the sounds
of the night.
118
00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:11,737
You just keep swingin' that club until
you feel the breeze comin' off the sea.
119
00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:15,282
Inside every one of us
is one true, authentic swing.
120
00:09:16,742 --> 00:09:19,787
You just keep swingin' that club
until your authentic swing-
121
00:09:19,870 --> 00:09:23,957
You're part of the whole thing,
somethin' you was born with.
122
00:09:23,999 --> 00:09:25,959
That's a good thing.
123
00:09:26,001 --> 00:09:28,837
I don't feel a thing.
124
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,508
You just keep swingin' that club
until you're part of the whole thing.
125
00:09:33,550 --> 00:09:36,470
That's a good thing.
126
00:09:36,512 --> 00:09:39,348
Can you see it?
127
00:09:50,526 --> 00:09:53,153
All right, time to go.
128
00:09:53,237 --> 00:09:55,155
Why?
129
00:10:05,833 --> 00:10:09,795
They say that God is
happiest when His children are at play.
130
00:10:09,878 --> 00:10:14,758
Well, it certainly seemed like God was in
fine spirits when the day of the match dawned.
131
00:10:19,221 --> 00:10:22,266
People came from far and wide.
132
00:10:22,349 --> 00:10:27,354
There wasn't a room to be found in either
boarding house or the Krewe Island Hotel.
133
00:10:27,438 --> 00:10:30,691
The match had been designed
as the ultimate championship.
134
00:10:30,732 --> 00:10:32,693
thirty-six holes on Saturday...
135
00:10:32,776 --> 00:10:36,280
followed by another grueling
thirty-six holes on Sunday.
136
00:10:43,245 --> 00:10:45,164
Good luck today.
137
00:10:59,178 --> 00:11:01,096
Where's Hagen?
138
00:11:01,138 --> 00:11:03,098
Oh, he'll be here.
139
00:11:33,295 --> 00:11:35,756
- Hello, Mr. Junuh. How are you? Bob, how are you?
- Walter.
140
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:38,550
They do put on a splendid show,
don't they, O.B.?
141
00:11:38,634 --> 00:11:41,720
I hear that later today they'll even
be hittin' some golf balls.
142
00:11:41,804 --> 00:11:45,140
Ladies and gentlemen.
143
00:11:45,224 --> 00:11:47,935
By virtue of the draw,
144
00:11:48,018 --> 00:11:50,729
Mr. Jones will hit first,
145
00:11:50,813 --> 00:11:53,816
Mr. Hagen second,
146
00:11:53,899 --> 00:11:55,943
and then Mr. Junuh.
147
00:12:12,876 --> 00:12:14,795
Shh.
148
00:12:18,090 --> 00:12:20,217
And then suddenly, in that moment,
149
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:23,804
I felt as if I could hear
the earth breathin' beneath me.
150
00:13:16,774 --> 00:13:19,109
Junuh hit a promising opening drive,
151
00:13:19,193 --> 00:13:20,944
and I was sure
he was on his way.
152
00:13:23,363 --> 00:13:26,742
Nice shot.
Absolutely.
153
00:13:33,248 --> 00:13:38,504
It's hard to imagine three more
different approaches to the game of golf.
154
00:13:38,587 --> 00:13:42,633
Bobby Jones's swing was
a study of grace in motion.
155
00:13:42,716 --> 00:13:46,720
He had a way of making
the difficult shots look easy...
156
00:13:46,762 --> 00:13:49,306
and the easy shots
look even easier.
157
00:13:56,605 --> 00:14:00,109
Hagen, on the other hand,
hit more bad shots in a single game...
158
00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:02,152
than most golfers do
in a season.
159
00:14:04,446 --> 00:14:08,158
But Hagen had long ago
learned one thing.
160
00:14:10,244 --> 00:14:14,623
Three lousy shots and one brilliant shot
can still make par.
161
00:14:18,043 --> 00:14:22,423
And Junuh, well, even now
I can't think of it without wincin'.
162
00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:32,850
- Beach.
- Go ball, go.
163
00:14:32,933 --> 00:14:36,353
- Yep. Beach.
164
00:14:38,063 --> 00:14:41,650
We sure got lovely weather
for it this morning, though, don't we?
165
00:14:41,733 --> 00:14:43,652
Let me get that
from you, sir.
166
00:14:56,832 --> 00:14:58,542
Any ideas?
167
00:14:58,625 --> 00:15:01,128
Hmm. About what?
168
00:15:04,089 --> 00:15:06,049
Could you give me a club?
169
00:15:13,682 --> 00:15:15,350
Yeah. That's a good one there.
170
00:15:25,068 --> 00:15:28,363
What the hell's wrong
with his grip?
171
00:15:42,419 --> 00:15:45,589
By the end of five holes,
Junuh was five strokes behind...
172
00:15:45,672 --> 00:15:49,051
with 67 holes to go.
173
00:15:49,134 --> 00:15:53,680
And things would've been a lot worse if
it weren't for Junuh's shot on the sixth.
174
00:16:04,274 --> 00:16:07,361
- It was a birdie,
one stroke under par...
175
00:16:07,402 --> 00:16:11,281
for the hole, moving him
to four behind Jones and Hagen...
176
00:16:11,365 --> 00:16:14,284
and his only glimmer of hope
for the entire round.
177
00:16:14,368 --> 00:16:16,286
I think I found my game.
178
00:16:16,370 --> 00:16:19,873
Good news, Mr. Junuh. Now all we gots
to do is figure out what game that is.
179
00:16:23,127 --> 00:16:25,921
By the 18th tee,
at the close of the morning round,
180
00:16:26,004 --> 00:16:28,507
Jones and Hagen
were neck and neck.
181
00:16:37,766 --> 00:16:41,562
- And as for Junuh-
- This is becoming embarrassing.
182
00:16:41,603 --> 00:16:46,066
Oh, no, sir. It's been embarrassing
for quite some time now.
183
00:17:07,796 --> 00:17:11,341
May I make a suggestion to you?
184
00:17:11,425 --> 00:17:15,137
- What now?
- Why don't you just hook it out of bounds?
185
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:19,391
Yeah. Just curve it out
over them pretty trees into the ocean.
186
00:17:19,475 --> 00:17:25,105
Really, just do what you been doin'.
Then you'll be so far out the match,
187
00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:27,357
man, we can just relax,
enjoy ourselves the rest of the way.
188
00:17:27,441 --> 00:17:29,359
Yeah.
189
00:17:37,242 --> 00:17:39,870
What you waitin' for?
Go on.
190
00:17:39,953 --> 00:17:42,790
Just hook it to hell and gone.
Put yourself out your misery.
191
00:18:26,750 --> 00:18:28,919
You want to quit,
Mr. Junuh?
192
00:18:30,129 --> 00:18:32,339
You can just go ahead
and creep off somewhere.
193
00:18:32,423 --> 00:18:36,677
I'll tell folk you took sick. Truth be
told, ain't nobody gonna really object.
194
00:18:36,718 --> 00:18:40,681
Fact, they'd probably be happy as bugs in
a bake shop, see you pack up and go home.
195
00:18:40,722 --> 00:18:43,225
You know I can't quit.
196
00:18:43,267 --> 00:18:45,853
I know.
197
00:18:45,936 --> 00:18:48,147
Just makin' sure
you know it too.
198
00:19:11,044 --> 00:19:14,173
Man alive!
The fairway.
199
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:29,438
Hello, Bagger.
Hello. Mr. Bagger Vance.
200
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,857
I want an explanation.
It better be a good one.
201
00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:34,359
What on God's green earth
are you tellin' him?
202
00:19:34,443 --> 00:19:36,653
Sir, I'd sure be most appreciative
if we talk about this a bit later.
203
00:19:36,737 --> 00:19:38,655
Right now I'm busy
assisting Mr. Junuh.
204
00:19:38,739 --> 00:19:40,949
- You have done a hell of a job so far.
- Okay, okay!
205
00:19:41,033 --> 00:19:42,951
Let me talk to him,
Neskaloosa.
206
00:19:43,035 --> 00:19:45,537
Mr. Vance, I think what the judge
is trying to determine here...
207
00:19:45,621 --> 00:19:49,249
is what exactly your strategy is for
helping poor Mr. Junuh find his game,
208
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:52,377
because to the untrained observer it appears
you know as much about being a caddie...
209
00:19:52,461 --> 00:19:54,755
as I do about
driving a locomotive.
210
00:19:54,838 --> 00:19:56,799
Oh, you-all want
to know my strategy.
211
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,010
Well, right now my player
is a little confused about who he is.
212
00:20:00,094 --> 00:20:02,930
See, he still thinks
he's Rannulph Junuh.
213
00:20:02,971 --> 00:20:05,891
He is Rannulph Junuh,
you damn twit.
214
00:20:05,974 --> 00:20:09,019
Well, he is and he ain't.
215
00:20:22,741 --> 00:20:26,078
- Thank you. Thank you.
216
00:20:56,650 --> 00:20:59,403
Anybody drinkin'?
Here. I'm gonna get a drink.
217
00:21:23,260 --> 00:21:25,220
It'll come.
218
00:21:43,447 --> 00:21:46,033
I had me a uncle named Rufus.
219
00:21:46,116 --> 00:21:49,453
Lost his right arm
in a cotton gin.
220
00:21:49,536 --> 00:21:52,539
Learned how to do everything
with his left arm.
221
00:21:52,623 --> 00:21:56,543
Then he lost that
changing a wagon wheel.
222
00:21:56,627 --> 00:21:59,880
Axle snapped, chopped off his left arm.
Learned to do everything with his teeth.
223
00:21:59,922 --> 00:22:02,132
- It was a mistake.
- One night he says some things to Mr. Johnny...
224
00:22:02,216 --> 00:22:03,967
He shouldn't had said.
225
00:22:04,051 --> 00:22:05,844
Mr. Johnny knock
all the teeth out his head.
226
00:22:05,928 --> 00:22:08,806
- So he learned how to do
everything with his feet.
227
00:22:08,889 --> 00:22:14,269
Up till he
got this, uh, fungus. It grew-
228
00:22:14,353 --> 00:22:17,648
- Stop it.
- I'm trying to tell you about overcoming adversity.
229
00:22:17,731 --> 00:22:20,734
Listen, you want to talk to me
about my grip, fine.
230
00:22:20,818 --> 00:22:25,072
- Talk about my swing, fine.
- You don't wanna hear about the fungus?
231
00:22:25,114 --> 00:22:28,242
He became a dancer.
Oh, he made a fortune.
232
00:22:28,325 --> 00:22:33,914
It was the most amazing thing to see this
armless, toothless man sliding across the stage...
233
00:22:33,997 --> 00:22:36,458
to the music
of Bessie Smith and the Duke.
234
00:22:38,293 --> 00:22:41,255
I don't care if
I'm 12 strokes back. I just don't.
235
00:22:41,338 --> 00:22:44,133
You don't even want to win?
236
00:22:44,216 --> 00:22:47,761
- It's just a game, Bagger.
- Ah. Yes, sir.
237
00:22:47,845 --> 00:22:50,180
You done said it yourself now.
Just a game.
238
00:22:50,264 --> 00:22:54,268
So maybe, just maybe, there is
something else that's rilin' you.
239
00:22:54,309 --> 00:22:57,771
Maybe you thought you was just
gonna sashay out onto that green...
240
00:22:57,855 --> 00:23:02,401
and the old hero of Savannah
just reappear all by himself.
241
00:23:02,484 --> 00:23:04,945
Don't work that way, is all.
242
00:23:05,028 --> 00:23:07,614
The Junuh you was,
you ain't never gonna be again.
243
00:23:08,824 --> 00:23:11,952
Ever. That's all I'm sayin'.
244
00:23:13,370 --> 00:23:15,748
You don't know
a damn thing about me.
245
00:23:15,831 --> 00:23:18,709
I know one thing for sure.
You gonna look pretty foolish...
246
00:23:18,751 --> 00:23:20,794
with two different shoes
on your feet.
247
00:23:20,878 --> 00:23:22,963
Ah, Jesus.
248
00:23:23,046 --> 00:23:25,841
You got an answer for everything,
don't you, Bagger?
249
00:23:25,924 --> 00:23:30,471
Let me tell you something. There's no
difference between winning and losing...
250
00:23:30,554 --> 00:23:32,973
and anything in between.
251
00:23:33,056 --> 00:23:36,101
What's lost is lost.
A man lives. A man dies.
252
00:23:37,311 --> 00:23:39,521
And in the end
it all turns out the same.
253
00:23:39,605 --> 00:23:42,900
You're alone. And that's all
you're ever gonna be.
254
00:23:42,983 --> 00:23:46,236
Is that a fact? Alone.
255
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,740
So, a soul is born with everything
that the Lord can give it,
256
00:23:49,823 --> 00:23:53,786
and things don't go its way, so it just gives
up, and the good Lord takes everything back?
257
00:23:53,869 --> 00:23:57,873
- That's right.
- And then the soul dies.
258
00:23:57,956 --> 00:24:02,961
- Alone. Was that pretty much what you're sayin'?
- That's right.
259
00:24:03,045 --> 00:24:06,298
That's a sad story,
Mr. Junuh.
260
00:24:06,381 --> 00:24:10,844
- Yes, it is.
- And that's just about the dumbest thing...
261
00:24:10,928 --> 00:24:14,556
I heard any fool say... ever.
262
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,353
You got yourself
a hard eye there, Mr. Junuh.
263
00:24:19,436 --> 00:24:22,481
Soul is born with everything,
it dies, and the good Lord-
264
00:24:22,564 --> 00:24:24,733
You a funny man, Mr. Junuh.
265
00:24:24,817 --> 00:24:29,780
Now, what I hear, Bobby's just
waitin' to make his big move.
266
00:24:29,822 --> 00:24:31,740
He doesn't wanna
peak too early.
267
00:24:31,824 --> 00:24:33,909
You think Walter
doesn't know that?
268
00:24:33,951 --> 00:24:36,662
He's keeping pace with Bobby
step for step,
269
00:24:36,745 --> 00:24:41,583
and when Bobby kicks his game into
high gear, he's in for a big surprise.
270
00:24:41,625 --> 00:24:43,752
What about Junuh?
271
00:24:43,836 --> 00:24:45,754
Well, what about him, son?
272
00:24:45,838 --> 00:24:50,426
Well, there's still three rounds
to go, and that's 54 holes.
273
00:24:50,509 --> 00:24:52,594
All he's got to do is
pick up one stroke...
274
00:24:52,678 --> 00:24:55,389
every four holes,
and he wins.
275
00:24:55,472 --> 00:24:59,560
- It's possible.
- Well, it's possible, son, but it's not very likely.
276
00:24:59,643 --> 00:25:02,896
I mean, I have been told that Junuh shows
no sign of gettin' his game together.
277
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:05,858
He's playin' Bobby Jones
and Walter Hagen.
278
00:25:05,941 --> 00:25:09,403
What do you know? You can't even
get yourself a decent job!
279
00:25:09,486 --> 00:25:13,031
Hardy! Hardy Greaves,
you come back here.
280
00:25:13,115 --> 00:25:15,033
Let him go, Ida.
281
00:25:17,661 --> 00:25:20,497
Been a hard time
for the boy.
282
00:25:30,048 --> 00:25:33,594
There something
you wanted to tell me?
283
00:25:36,847 --> 00:25:40,058
Well, I'm tryin' to think of
how to say it, Junuh.
284
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:45,230
There is a purpose
to this visit,
285
00:25:45,314 --> 00:25:48,692
and that's to apologize.
286
00:25:48,776 --> 00:25:51,111
But I'm not a naturally apologetic
woman, so it takes me longer...
287
00:25:51,153 --> 00:25:54,281
to get my thoughts in order.
288
00:25:54,323 --> 00:25:59,161
I want to seem properly contrite for
having gotten you into this golf match...
289
00:25:59,244 --> 00:26:03,165
but not seem that what I did
was ill-intentioned, because it was not.
290
00:26:03,207 --> 00:26:06,752
What exactly are you
apologizin' for?
291
00:26:09,004 --> 00:26:10,923
For publicly humiliating you.
292
00:26:11,006 --> 00:26:16,220
Oh. Well, that'd be a good thing
to apologize for.
293
00:26:16,303 --> 00:26:21,058
However... I think that...
294
00:26:21,141 --> 00:26:26,522
basically, what I'm trying to say is-
is that I'm sorry.
295
00:26:27,689 --> 00:26:29,608
But it's not my fault.
296
00:26:30,734 --> 00:26:33,278
You're the one to blame.
297
00:26:35,948 --> 00:26:38,575
That's one hell
of an apology, Adele.
298
00:26:38,659 --> 00:26:41,161
I'd stop the tournament
in a flash, if I could.
299
00:26:41,245 --> 00:26:45,624
I truly, truly would, because
I know it's just gonna get worse.
300
00:26:45,707 --> 00:26:46,927
And the way...
301
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,920
And the way you're playin'!
You're simply destroyin' any chance...
302
00:26:50,003 --> 00:26:52,380
Jones and Hagen have
of playin' well.
303
00:26:52,506 --> 00:26:56,927
And your supporters, who are every man,
woman and child in Savannah,
304
00:26:56,968 --> 00:27:01,139
are so demoralized that
they can barely hold down their lunches.
305
00:27:06,269 --> 00:27:10,941
-So, you want my apology or not?
-No.
306
00:27:12,818 --> 00:27:14,737
Well.
307
00:27:16,489 --> 00:27:18,450
That's the Junuh I know.
308
00:27:18,533 --> 00:27:22,328
-Just full of little surprises.
-What was it, Adele?
309
00:27:23,830 --> 00:27:25,749
What did you like about us?
310
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:32,714
I liked the way we danced.
311
00:27:38,136 --> 00:27:40,680
What's your problem?
312
00:27:44,517 --> 00:27:48,730
And they was just lookin' at me like
I was stupid or crazy or something.
313
00:27:48,855 --> 00:27:53,109
To think that you could beat
Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen
bein' 12 strokes behind,
314
00:27:53,193 --> 00:27:56,613
even though I told them all you had
to do was pick up one stroke...
315
00:27:56,696 --> 00:28:00,617
every four holes
for the next 54 holes, right?
316
00:28:00,658 --> 00:28:02,619
-Yeah, right.
-And who do you think was tellin' me...
317
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:04,579
what a hopeless case
you was the most?
318
00:28:04,621 --> 00:28:08,500
My very own father, who says that
he was a good friend of yours...
319
00:28:08,583 --> 00:28:10,543
until you lost your mind
in the war.
320
00:28:10,627 --> 00:28:12,587
He's right.
321
00:28:12,629 --> 00:28:15,465
You can't win?
322
00:28:15,548 --> 00:28:18,259
He was a good friend
of mine.
323
00:28:24,349 --> 00:28:26,726
He's sweepin' streets,
Captain Junuh,
324
00:28:26,810 --> 00:28:30,563
in the middle of Savannah
where everybody can see him.
325
00:28:30,605 --> 00:28:33,733
Me, my friends and everybody.
326
00:28:33,817 --> 00:28:37,278
You feelin' sorry for yourself because
your daddy's got to sweep streets?
327
00:28:37,404 --> 00:28:39,698
He ain't the only man
who can't get work.
328
00:28:39,739 --> 00:28:41,950
Wilbur Charles's dad
can't get work neither,
329
00:28:42,033 --> 00:28:46,996
but he says he'd rather do nothin' at
all than something beneath his dignity.
330
00:28:48,790 --> 00:28:53,336
-Grow up, Hardy.
-It ain't time for me
to grow up, Mr. Junuh.
331
00:28:53,420 --> 00:28:57,298
Your daddy's out
sweepin' streets because he took
every last dime he had...
332
00:28:57,340 --> 00:28:59,759
and used it to pay up
every man and woman he owed...
333
00:28:59,843 --> 00:29:02,804
and every business who worked for him,
instead of declaring bankruptcy...
334
00:29:02,846 --> 00:29:07,183
Like everyone else in town,
including your best friend
Wilbur Charles's dad, Raymond,
335
00:29:07,267 --> 00:29:10,020
which is why he's able to sit around
all day long on his dignity.
336
00:29:11,938 --> 00:29:14,024
You daddy stared adversity
in the eye, Hardy,
337
00:29:14,107 --> 00:29:16,359
and he beat it back
with a broom.
338
00:29:32,709 --> 00:29:35,003
You really love this game,
don't you?
339
00:29:37,339 --> 00:29:39,716
The greatest game there is.
340
00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:42,010
You really think so?
341
00:29:42,093 --> 00:29:46,014
Ask anybody.
It's fun. It's hard.
342
00:29:46,056 --> 00:29:48,558
You stand out there
on that green, green grass,
343
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,979
and it's just you and the ball,
and there ain't nobody
to beat up on but yourself.
344
00:29:53,063 --> 00:29:58,818
Just like Mr. Noonan keeps
hittin' himself with a golf club
every time he gets angry.
345
00:29:58,860 --> 00:30:02,155
He's broken his toe three times
on account of it.
346
00:30:02,197 --> 00:30:06,159
This is the only game I know
you can call a penalty on yourself-
347
00:30:06,284 --> 00:30:09,079
if you're honest,
which most people are.
348
00:30:09,204 --> 00:30:12,499
There just ain't
no other game like it.
349
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,880
I better get goin'.
350
00:30:31,059 --> 00:30:33,853
In case you didn't see that, Bobby,
remind me when we're out there.
351
00:30:33,937 --> 00:30:36,815
I'll show you where it's at
when your second shot catches up to it.
352
00:30:48,743 --> 00:30:51,746
Oh, yes.
Greatest game there is.
353
00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:53,999
-Right, Hardy?
-Yes, sir.
354
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,001
The greatest game
there will ever be.
355
00:30:56,126 --> 00:30:59,379
-Just you and the ball.
-All by your lonesome.
356
00:31:01,589 --> 00:31:03,550
I think it's time.
357
00:31:03,633 --> 00:31:06,636
-Time for what?
-Time for you to see the field.
358
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,850
The field? I see the field.
It's 445 yards long.
359
00:31:11,933 --> 00:31:15,603
It's got a little red flag at the end
of it. It's 12 strokes ahead of me.
360
00:31:15,687 --> 00:31:17,439
-Come on.
-That ain't it.
361
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,568
'Cause if you was seein' the field,
you wouldn't be hackin' at that ball...
362
00:31:21,609 --> 00:31:24,279
Like you was choppin' weeds out
from under your front porch.
363
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,407
Just gimme the club.
364
00:31:27,449 --> 00:31:30,618
Sorry I bring it up. Here.
You gonna take that. Hack away.
365
00:31:47,969 --> 00:31:50,388
All right.
What's the field?
366
00:31:52,307 --> 00:31:54,225
Fix your eyes
on Bobby Jones.
367
00:31:56,269 --> 00:31:58,813
Here's a piece of work
here right now.
368
00:31:58,897 --> 00:32:00,774
Give the man room.
369
00:32:00,815 --> 00:32:02,776
Knock it out there, Bobby.
370
00:32:22,879 --> 00:32:24,839
Look at his practice swing.
371
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,470
Almost like he's
searchin' for somethin'.
372
00:32:30,553 --> 00:32:33,556
Then he finds it.
373
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,518
Watch how he settle himself
right into the middle of it.
374
00:32:39,521 --> 00:32:41,564
Feel that focus.
375
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:46,319
He got a lot of shots
he could choose from.
376
00:32:47,654 --> 00:32:49,989
Duffs and tops and skulls.
377
00:32:52,951 --> 00:32:57,080
But there's only one shot that's
in perfect harmony with the field.
378
00:32:58,206 --> 00:33:02,669
One shot that's his...
authentic shot.
379
00:33:04,879 --> 00:33:06,923
And that shot
is gonna choose him.
380
00:33:09,009 --> 00:33:12,971
There's a perfect shot out there tryin'
to find each and every one of us.
381
00:33:13,054 --> 00:33:16,599
All we gotta do is get
ourselves out of its way.
382
00:33:16,683 --> 00:33:18,560
Let it choose us.
383
00:33:21,146 --> 00:33:24,649
Mm. Look at him.
He in the field.
384
00:33:35,076 --> 00:33:39,456
Can't see that flag
as some dragon you got to slay.
385
00:33:39,539 --> 00:33:42,000
You got to look
with soft eyes.
386
00:33:42,083 --> 00:33:45,879
See the place
where the tides and seasons...
387
00:33:46,004 --> 00:33:48,089
and the turnin' of the earth...
388
00:33:48,214 --> 00:33:50,300
all come together.
389
00:33:51,426 --> 00:33:54,179
Where everything that is...
390
00:33:54,220 --> 00:33:56,181
becomes one.
391
00:33:57,807 --> 00:34:01,936
You got to seek that place
with your soul, Junuh.
392
00:34:14,866 --> 00:34:17,827
Seek it with your hands.
Don't think about it.
393
00:34:17,869 --> 00:34:22,374
Feel it. Your hands is wiser
than your head ever gonna be.
394
00:34:24,417 --> 00:34:26,586
I can't take you there, Junuh.
395
00:34:28,296 --> 00:34:31,091
Just hopes I can help you
find a way.
396
00:34:39,974 --> 00:34:44,229
Just you, that ball,
397
00:34:44,270 --> 00:34:46,231
that flag,
398
00:34:48,775 --> 00:34:50,694
and all you are-
seek it with your hands.
399
00:34:50,777 --> 00:34:53,279
Don't think about it. Feel it.
You're lookin' at it, Junuh.
400
00:34:58,827 --> 00:35:02,497
Your authentic swing.
That flag.
401
00:35:02,539 --> 00:35:04,916
And all that you are.
402
00:36:03,183 --> 00:36:06,478
Even a blind squirrel finds
an acorn now and then, Bobby.
403
00:36:16,863 --> 00:36:20,200
The rest of that afternoon is a blur.
404
00:36:20,325 --> 00:36:23,995
Junuh kept asking question
after question about the field,
405
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:26,790
while Bagger just acted like
nothin' much had happened...
406
00:36:26,915 --> 00:36:30,794
and kept makin' remarks about how
much Hagen's socks must have cost...
407
00:36:30,877 --> 00:36:34,756
and how long to dry tobacco leaves
before they make a good smoke.
408
00:36:38,968 --> 00:36:40,929
But somehow,
in the middle of it all,
409
00:36:41,054 --> 00:36:43,390
Junuh started playin' golf.
410
00:36:59,489 --> 00:37:04,327
As the day and the second round came to
an end, there was genuine excitement.
411
00:37:04,369 --> 00:37:07,539
I do so enjoy
this little game.
412
00:37:10,959 --> 00:37:14,671
Why don't you ladies freshen up,
and I'd love you to join me for dinner.
413
00:37:17,841 --> 00:37:20,760
Hello, Hugh. Junuh.
414
00:37:22,303 --> 00:37:24,889
-I'll have a double Scotch.
-All right, sir.
415
00:37:25,015 --> 00:37:27,267
Pretty entertaining
out there today, huh?
416
00:37:27,308 --> 00:37:30,353
That's what the people want.
Entertainment.
417
00:37:34,858 --> 00:37:38,278
I got a proposition, Junuh.
Exhibitions are the thing now.
418
00:37:38,319 --> 00:37:41,448
Five, ten grand
for two days' work.
419
00:37:41,489 --> 00:37:44,159
How'd you like to go on tour with me?
We'd have some good matches.
420
00:37:44,284 --> 00:37:48,913
I'd expect to win, of course. But then
we'd split the money 70-30 afterwards.
421
00:37:48,997 --> 00:37:51,249
You'd get the 30.
422
00:37:51,291 --> 00:37:55,086
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not
just lookin' for another payday here.
423
00:37:55,170 --> 00:37:57,589
I couldn't breathe if it
weren't for this game of golf.
424
00:37:57,630 --> 00:38:01,634
I once had the next king of England
hold the pin for me while I putted!
425
00:38:01,718 --> 00:38:06,056
Did you know that? I did.
426
00:38:06,139 --> 00:38:10,268
Yes, I've paid back everything
that golf gave me several times over,
427
00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:12,228
and now I'm on the receiving end.
428
00:38:14,689 --> 00:38:16,649
Whoo. It's the good life, Junuh.
429
00:38:17,859 --> 00:38:20,987
-Why me?
-The crowd likes you.
430
00:38:21,029 --> 00:38:24,783
I think we have a lot
in common, you and I.
431
00:38:24,866 --> 00:38:30,038
You've got no illusions that
there's anything out there
worth gettin' riled up about.
432
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,167
The meaning of it all
is that there is no meaning.
433
00:38:34,209 --> 00:38:36,628
Ah, you'd be good company.
That's all I'm sayin'.
434
00:38:38,713 --> 00:38:40,715
Thanks, Walter.
I'll think it over.
435
00:38:40,757 --> 00:38:44,844
Hey. I admire the way you're
dealing with this match, Junuh.
436
00:38:44,928 --> 00:38:48,390
Fighting the way you are.
It's damn noble.
437
00:38:48,390 --> 00:38:50,809
But no matter how good
a fighter you are,
438
00:38:50,850 --> 00:38:54,854
just remember, I can ask the king
to hold the flag for me when I putt.
439
00:38:54,896 --> 00:38:59,651
But he's not gonna give me his crown.
Neither is Bobby, and neither am I.
440
00:38:59,776 --> 00:39:02,529
I'm not asking
for your crown, Walter.
441
00:39:02,654 --> 00:39:04,656
If I wanted it bad enough,
I'd just take it.
442
00:39:57,584 --> 00:40:01,046
Was there something you wished
to discuss? Because this might
not be the right time to-
443
00:40:13,767 --> 00:40:16,519
I can win, Adele.
444
00:40:16,603 --> 00:40:18,480
I can beat both of 'em.
445
00:40:20,065 --> 00:40:23,735
Look in my eyes
and tell me what you see.
446
00:40:23,818 --> 00:40:26,446
Determination.
Pure determination.
447
00:40:26,529 --> 00:40:30,825
Panic, Adele.
Pure panic.
448
00:40:30,909 --> 00:40:34,371
I'm eight strokes behind
the two greatest golfers
in the history of the sport.
449
00:40:34,496 --> 00:40:36,998
They've never blown a lead
in their lives, and I'm
gonna win. You know why?
450
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,000
-Panic?
-That's right.
451
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,714
-Oh, Junuh. You don't, by any chance-
-Yes.
452
00:40:47,550 --> 00:40:51,429
Oh, I ought to go back to my guests.
453
00:40:52,889 --> 00:40:54,849
Yes. I should go back
to my guests.
454
00:40:54,849 --> 00:40:57,143
You- You will
stay in touch?
455
00:40:57,185 --> 00:41:00,230
I don't think I can wait another
12 years for the next installment.
456
00:41:03,066 --> 00:41:05,360
Was there something about me
that you particularly missed?
457
00:41:05,443 --> 00:41:10,073
Something that I can feel gratified
about depriving you of all these years?
458
00:41:10,156 --> 00:41:12,659
I like the way we danced.
459
00:41:23,878 --> 00:41:26,840
Make sure you got enough balls
in there. Got another sweater?
460
00:41:26,923 --> 00:41:28,883
-Got enough water?
-Driver. I need the driver.
461
00:41:28,925 --> 00:41:30,885
This is gonna take
everything I got.
462
00:41:30,927 --> 00:41:33,888
Oh, that's for sure. That's a jigger.
Help you keep it under the wind.
463
00:41:34,014 --> 00:41:36,683
Bagger, my putter's got
more loft than this thing.
464
00:41:36,725 --> 00:41:39,769
-Well, actually,
they just about the same.
-Oh. Well, that's good.
465
00:41:39,853 --> 00:41:43,398
I'll just putt the ball
down the fairway, then. Anything else?
466
00:41:44,733 --> 00:41:47,736
Just bash the livin' shit
out of it.
