"The way I see it, 't doesn't matter so much where-- the knowing him came from, mm? The important this is that y'do-- feel like he's real, and y'know him, and that you do-- want him to be proud. And that you have."

Just because you don't-- remember him as more than a blur 'nd what other people've told you about him doesn't mean he's not important to you."
