For anyone who’s ever faced a personal challenge, it doesn’t get much better than the 'Six Minutes' speech in VISION QUEST. This scene wasn’t in the 1979 novel by Terry Davis. Elmo's monologue was written specifically for the film by screenwriter Darryl Ponicsan (THE LAST DETAIL, TAPS). Actor J. C. Quinn absolutely knocks it out of the park here.
If you’d like to support the @FMJDiary project, you can bid on an original poster below. I signed and inscribed it with Elmo’s iconic line: “It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.”

“This is my friend's 17 year old nephew, Tanner. Yesterday he was enjoying a day at Scissortail Park with his mother and younger siblings when he noticed a person struggling in the pond. Tanner's mom said he did a quick double take then without a word he was running toward the water. She had no idea what was happening but Tanner knew someone needed him. His instincts took over and this guy saved a drowning 2 year old!!! He suffered a head injury in the process and had to have staples. Police, fire and medics responded and the child's mother cried uncontrollably with gratitude. Tanner is humble, compassionate and really does not understand how much heartbreak his actions have saved a family.”

Happy 18th birthday to @avajones_35 ! Last July a car crash changed the Nickerson basketball star's life, but today she celebrated her birthday with a trip to see her orthopedic surgeon.

Just 6 months after a life-threatening accident in Louisville this summer, @avajones_35 was back on the basketball court tonight in Nickerson to score the first basket of the game on a left-handed layup.
Incredible story of perseverance &determination. Standing O from everyone.
This is amazing: For the first time, #Bills S Damar Hamlin is addressing the team via Facetime. The breathing tube is out, and he’s spent the morning speaking to various teammates on Facetime. Now, he’s delivering a message to the entire group, I’m told.
What an awesome day. After an accident four months ago, Ava Jones’ road to recovery is off to a remarkable start. Today she saw her dream of being a Division I basketball player come true, as she signed her NLI to @IowaWBB. 💛
