[comforting his daughter on her first day of boarding school]
Henry : One of the things I do remember is my first day at school. There were all these weird-looking kids and I didn't know any of them and they didn't know me. I was scared, but after two days, we were all laughing about how scared we were. Everybody feels like you do, honey. Everybody.

Bradley : I got bad knees.
Henry : What?
Bradley : My knees, they're bad. Ask me why.
Henry : Why?
Bradley : Football. Wrecked them both playing college football. Man, it was my life. Football, what else was there? Not jack shit. Homecoming, right? That son of a bitch threw a perfect spiral, and I caught it... boom. Right out of the sky. I had the moment. When that safety hit me, and I felt my knees pop, I knew that was it. Game over. Forget it. I was dead. My life was over, Hank. Now ask me if I mind having bad knees.
Henry : Do you mind...
Bradley : No. No way. It was a test. I had to find a life. The therapist that helped me walk again? He was so cool. I thought, "That's what I want to do." When I told some of my buddies, they laughed right in my face. Called me a nurse. Bought me white dresses and shit. But check it out. You're walking. You're talking. You're sitting here drinking some pretty expensive damn beer. I had something to do with that. If it weren't for my knees, I'd never have met you. So, no, I don't mind having bad knees, no. Let me tell you something, Hank. Don't listen to nobody trying to tell you who you are. It might take a while, but you'll figure yourself out.
