Field of Dreams1989

Terence Mann:
What was the awful thing you said?

Ray Kinsella:
I said I could never respect a man whose hero was a criminal.

Terence Mann:
Who was his hero?

Ray Kinsella:
Shoeless Joe Jackson.

Terence Mann:
You knew he wasn't a criminal. [Ray nods.] Then why did you say it?

Ray Kinsella:
I was seventeen. [Terence nods.]

Terence Mann:
So this is your penance.

Ray Kinsella:
I know. I can't bring my father back...

Terence Mann:
...so the least you can do is bring back his hero.
