Transcript

00:00She's not like the other autistic children. She's deeply contented. And there is something.

00:09She's formed a new attachment. A volunteer girl, Suzanne. That's good.

00:13Please, save the speeches. I know all about it.

00:16Three years and what the hell have you accomplished? Nothing.

00:19Where's the breakthrough we used to dream about?

00:21Where's just one inch of improvement?

00:23Where's just one word out of Dorothy's own mouth? Tell me that.

00:26I don't think you understand.

00:28I understand plenty more than you think.

00:31It kills me to admit it, but she's retarded, that's all.

00:34And none of your fancy psychological jargon is going to change that.

00:37But nothing could be further from the truth.

00:39Tell me about the truth.

00:42The truth is you're right about the fancy jargon. None of it applies to Dorothy.

00:46She doesn't fit any of the pigeon holes.

00:48In other words, you haven't the slightest idea what's wrong with her.

00:51Look, that's just it. There's really nothing wrong with her.

00:54She's a wonderful girl. We know from her play that she's unbelievably bright.

00:58But she just won't communicate. No words.

01:01She has her own way, and by God, she seems happy that way.

01:05There's no name for that condition. You make one up if you like.

01:09Dorothy is one of a kind. Do you understand that?

01:12She is absolutely unique.

01:17Helen, look.

01:25My youth?

01:28Now, you don't really want to hear about my youth, do you?

01:31You ever eat Tom Sawyer?

01:34Well, it wasn't anything like that at all.

01:37Except when I grew up on the river.

01:40Pike County, Missouri.

01:43And let me tell you, we were poor.

01:46Hurt and poor.

01:48The kind of poor you could only understand if you went without real food for a couple of days.

01:53God, I wanted so much more.

01:56And I got it.

01:59Yes, I did.

02:02You think I set my goals impossibly high.

02:05But that's a secret.

02:08And it works. I put on those blinders.

02:11I tell you, you put them on.

02:14The tunnel vision, you see nothing else.

02:17You work your tail off.

02:20You push and you run and you even crawl if you have to.

02:23And then someday you take the time to turn around and look back.

02:26And you realize that you've come an incredibly long way.

02:32You've reached your goals.

02:40My column is syndicated in 473 cities.

02:43I write my own editorials on network television.

02:46I own two newspapers and three TV stations.

02:49But I must admit something.

02:52Confidentially.

02:55You know, it's funny.

02:58But I still don't feel any closer to that style than I did as a dumb kid in Pike County.
