John du Pont
You look good. You look strong. Fit.
Mark Schultz
Thank you, sir.
John du Pont
Feeling confident?
John du Pont
That's one of the most important elements of entering a match is feeling the confidence, knowing that you're going to win. Feeling it inside. If you get - go to a match knowing you're going to win that match, odds are you're going to win that match. You're training with your brother Dave?
Mark Schultz
Yes, sir.
John du Pont
Great Dave Schultz?
Mark Schultz
Yeah.
John du Pont
And I'm talking to the great Mark Schultz. Do you have any idea why I asked you to come here?
Mark Schultz
No.
John du Pont
No. Well, Mark, do you - do you have any idea who I am?
Mark Schultz
No. No.
John du Pont
Some rich guy calls you on the phone. I want the great Mark Schultz to come visit me. Well, I'm a - I'm a wrestling coach. And I have a deep love of the sport of wrestling. And I wanted to speak with you about your future. About what you hope to achieve. What do you hope to achieve, Mark?
Mark Schultz
Well, I wanna be the best in the world. I wanna go to the Worlds and win gold. I wanna go to the '88 Olympics and win gold.
John du Pont
Good. I'm proud of you. Are you getting the support that you need?
Mark Schultz
What do you mean, sir?
John du Pont
Well, you know how the Soviets support their wrestlers.
Mark Schultz
I do.
John du Pont
Mark, we as a nation have failed to honor you. And that's a problem. Not just for you, but for our society. When we fail to honor that which should be honored, it's a problem. It's a canary in a coal mine. Do you bird-watch?
Mark Schultz
Uh, no.
John du Pont
You can learn a lot from birds. I'm an ornithologist. But more importantly, I am a patriot. And I want to see this country soar again.
Mark Schultz
I want that too.
John du Pont
I can see that.
