A River Runs Through It (1992)

Older Norman: As a Presbyterian, my father believed that man by nature was a damned mess and that only by picking up God's rhythms were we able to regain power and beauty... To him, all good things, trout as well as eternal salvation, come by grace, and grace comes by art, and art does not come easy. So, my brother and I learned to cast Presbyterian style. On a metronome.

Older Norman: He began each session with the same instruction. Casting is an art that is performed on a four-count rhythm between 10:00 and 2:00. If he had had his way, nobody who did not know how to catch a fish would be allowed to disgrace a fish by catching it.

Older Norman: ... That was the only time we ever fought. Perhaps we wondered afterwards which one of us was tougher. But if boyhood questions aren't answered before a certain point, they can't be raised again.

Rev. Maclean: Okay... Okay... They're both marvelous. I'd say the Lord has blessed us all today. It's just that he's been particularly good to me.

Paul Maclean: Too tight! Try a roll cast! ... The fish are out further! Just a little further... Cast your line into the current. It'll give you a better base. ... Add some distance.... You're just rusty, that's all.

Older Norman: He called it shadow casting, keeping his line above water long enough and low enough to make a rainbow rise. And I realized that in the time I was away, my brother had become an artist.

Paul Maclean: Neal, in Montana, there are three things we're never late for. Church, work and fishing.

Rev. Maclean: I understand he's changed the spelling of our name. MacLean, with a capital L. Now everyone will think we're Lowland Scots...

Jessie Burns: Why is it the people who need the most help won't take it?...

Rev. Maclean: Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question. "We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed?" For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give, or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us, but we can still love them. We can love completely without complete understanding.

Older Norman: Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.
