我开始打电话给莫里教练，这是我用来讲话的方式。莫里喜欢这个昵称。他说，教练。好吧，我会成为你的教练。您可以成为我的球员。您可以玩我现在年纪太大的生活中所有可爱的部分。
(I begin to call Morrie Coach, the way I used to address my high school track coach. Morrie likes the nickname. Coach, he says. All right, I'll be your coach. And you can be my player. You can play all the lovely parts of life that I'm too old for now.)
