- The Bob Emergency
Beamon watches as the judge take the unusual step of bringing out a tape measurer. After twenty entire minutes, the distance is officially announced. Eight point nine meters. Like most Americans he doesn't quite understand how far that is and when someone tells him the distance in feet and inches, he is no closer to understanding.

My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I am sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up in their arms, the way you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you. I should have known, you wouldn't be content to disappear. Not my daughter. I could not save you then, so let me save you now.
