00:10:49,804 --> 00:10:52,224
and punctuality's
a part of the code.
173
00:10:52,224 --> 00:10:54,477
- OK, then. I was just teaching
174
00:10:54,477 --> 00:10:56,729
the cadets here
the benefits of yoga.
175
00:10:56,729 --> 00:10:59,107
Studies show it helps
with concentration.
176
00:10:59,107 --> 00:11:01,234
And relaxation.
177
00:11:01,234 --> 00:11:02,986
Maybe you should
try it sometime.
178
00:11:02,986 --> 00:11:05,573
- I'm comfortable
just as I am, thank you.
179
00:11:05,573 --> 00:11:07,992
- If you say so.
180
00:11:07,992 --> 00:11:09,577
Shall we?
181
00:11:09,577 --> 00:11:11,914
Anyway, I'm sure you've
already gotten an earful
182
00:11:11,914 --> 00:11:15,042
about the decline
in enrollment from Henry?
183
00:11:15,042 --> 00:11:16,710
- Henry?
184
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:18,922
Oh, you mean the General.
185
00:11:18,922 --> 00:11:21,424
- Right, I forgot
you two served together.
186
00:11:21,424 --> 00:11:23,760
I suppose old habits
must die hard.
187
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,472
- If they die at all.
- Right.
188
00:11:26,472 --> 00:11:28,224
Well, that's why
I was brought on here,
189
00:11:28,224 --> 00:11:31,228
to help make the Academy more
relevant to a new demographic.
190
00:11:31,228 --> 00:11:33,063
- What was wrong with
the old demographic?
191
00:11:33,063 --> 00:11:36,942
- Parents don't care about the
pomp and circumstance anymore.
192
00:11:36,942 --> 00:11:39,946
No offense. They just want
schools like Stone Creek
193
00:11:39,946 --> 00:11:41,781
to get their kids
into good colleges.
194
00:11:41,781 --> 00:11:44,117
- Well, I was brought in
to emphasize code of conduct,
195
00:11:44,117 --> 00:11:47,120
character development,
discipline. I mean,
look at this campus.
196
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,206
It's the cadets' responsibility
to treat their institution
197
00:11:49,206 --> 00:11:51,292
with respect. And how
are they supposed to do that
198
00:11:51,292 --> 00:11:53,670
with their noses
buried in cellphones?
199
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:57,049
On that subject, we're banning
electronic devices from campus.
200
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:59,260
- Are you serious?
201
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:02,681
You realize the students
do their homework online?
202
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:05,225
Look, I don't necessarily
disagree with everything
203
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:08,144
you're saying, but I also
don't see how your approach
204
00:12:08,144 --> 00:12:10,815
is the only way that we're going
to turn this place around.
205
00:12:10,815 --> 00:12:14,735
- Do you have a better idea?
- Thank you, Colonel.
206
00:12:14,735 --> 00:12:16,697
That's the first time you've
asked me for my opinion.
207
00:12:16,697 --> 00:12:20,200
- Sorry, ma'am. You will find
I call 'em like I see 'em.
208
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,663
- Well, it's very easy to walk
in here, pointing fingers.
209
00:12:23,663 --> 00:12:25,832
I've only had a few weeks to
settle in and you've had, what,
210
00:12:25,832 --> 00:12:28,669
a few hours? Meet the faculty.
211
00:12:28,669 --> 00:12:30,504
Get to know the cadets.
212
00:12:30,504 --> 00:12:33,340
Take a deeper look around
and then come to me with a plan
213
00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:36,386
we can actually discuss.
Got it, Colonel?
214
00:12:36,386 --> 00:12:39,097
- Yes, ma'am.
215
00:12:39,097 --> 00:12:41,601
- Great.
216
00:12:45,479 --> 00:12:47,941
- It's cruel and
unusual punishment
217
00:12:47,941 --> 00:12:49,860
that no one should
be subjected to.
218
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:52,738
- It's not that bad. It's got
the four major food groups:
219
00:12:52,738 --> 00:12:55,700
beef, turkey, ham, cheese.
- Yeah, I'm not talking about
220
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:57,785
your protein explosion.
I'm talking about
221
00:12:57,785 --> 00:13:00,288
your "my way or
the highway" attitude.
222
00:13:00,288 --> 00:13:02,291
Like it or not, Dad,
this woman is still your boss.
223
00:13:02,291 --> 00:13:04,251
- Technically, we're in charge
of two separate divisions.
224
00:13:04,251 --> 00:13:08,214
- Well, it sounds to me like
she's trying to work with you.
225
00:13:08,214 --> 00:13:10,091
- Right. By dismissing
226
00:13:10,091 --> 00:13:12,260
everything the
Academy represents.
227
00:13:12,260 --> 00:13:15,056
- You are so frustrating. Why do
you think you're the only person
228
00:13:15,056 --> 00:13:17,391
who knows how to do things?
- Maybe I am...
229
00:13:17,391 --> 00:13:19,770
- Maybe you're not!
230
00:13:19,770 --> 00:13:21,688
Can I make a suggestion?
231
00:13:21,688 --> 00:13:23,273
- Like me saying no
would make a difference.
232
00:13:23,273 --> 00:13:26,027
- Put the dimmer switch
on that personality of yours.
233
00:13:26,027 --> 00:13:30,406
Daddy, don't get me wrong.
I love you to bits.
234
00:13:30,406 --> 00:13:34,703
But you have a way of making
everyone the enemy sometimes.
235
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:40,502
- I don't mean to.
- Well, look at you,
236
00:13:40,502 --> 00:13:43,421
taking baby steps.
237
00:13:43,421 --> 00:13:45,591
You could do that
more often, too.
238
00:13:45,591 --> 00:13:47,760
Smile?
239
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,429
It's not a weakness to show
you have a softer side.
240
00:13:50,429 --> 00:13:52,933
- Well, I'll give you that.
241
00:13:52,933 --> 00:13:57,354
Your mom had a way of
getting me to lower my guard.
242
00:13:57,354 --> 00:13:59,023
- Well, now that she's gone,
243
00:13:59,023 --> 00:14:01,776
maybe you have to learn
how to do that for yourself.
244
00:14:01,776 --> 00:14:07,116
Or find someone new
to help you do it.
245
00:14:12,455 --> 00:14:15,041
And up goes that guard again.
246
00:14:26,471 --> 00:14:30,351
- Uh... standby colours.
247

♪♪
248
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:49,749
- Attention!
249
00:14:53,377 --> 00:14:55,756
Some of you look like
you just rolled out of bed.
250
00:14:55,756 --> 00:14:57,382
- No, sir.
251
00:14:57,382 --> 00:15:00,469
- Can somebody explain to me why
nobody's heart is in their duty?
252
00:15:00,469 --> 00:15:04,515
When I was your age, we had
to earn this privilege.
- When was that? Vietnam?
253
00:15:04,515 --> 00:15:07,477
- That's it, hero. Give me 20.
254
00:15:07,477 --> 00:15:10,397
- Sorry. I don't get
my allowance until Friday.
255
00:15:10,397 --> 00:15:14,109
- Push-ups! That's everybody,
on the ground. Let's go!
256
00:15:17,572 --> 00:15:21,034
Come on. Let's go, let's go!
257
00:15:22,453 --> 00:15:25,372
You can thank Cadet
Keller. Real push-ups.
258
00:15:25,372 --> 00:15:28,335
- Nothing like starting the day
with a little calisthenics.
259
00:15:28,335 --> 00:15:30,921
Is that it, Colonel Brennan?
- Something like that.
260
00:15:30,921 --> 00:15:33,048
The cadets and I are
just getting acquainted.
261
00:15:33,048 --> 00:15:35,051
- Good, because
some of these cadets
262
00:15:35,051 --> 00:15:37,470
are the Academy's
top scholars, like Emily
263
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:41,225
and Jared. And Mason here
actually just skipped a grade.
264
00:15:41,225 --> 00:15:43,727
- The wise guy?
265
00:15:43,727 --> 00:15:45,562
Flat backs!
266
00:15:45,562 --> 00:15:48,066
Knees on the ground,
if you have to.
267
00:15:48,066 --> 00:15:51,861
Dean, it's traditional to refer
to cadets by their last name.
268
00:15:51,861 --> 00:15:54,031
- Oh, I don't know.
I find that so impersonal.
269
00:15:54,031 --> 00:15:57,868
Don't you? I'm actually trying
to get them to call me Caroline.
270
00:15:57,868 --> 00:16:00,747
I mean, that is my name.
Right, cadets?
271
00:16:00,747 --> 00:16:03,416
- OK, that's enough.
On your feet.
272
00:16:03,416 --> 00:16:06,921
Get to class, cadets.
Walk with me.
273
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:13,137
Two things. First:
I would appreciate it
274
00:16:13,137 --> 00:16:15,013
if you didn't contradict me
in front of the cadets.
275
00:16:15,013 --> 00:16:19,602
And secondly: how far
can you walk in those?
276
00:16:19,602 --> 00:16:23,231
- Watch me.
277
00:16:23,231 --> 00:16:25,776
For enrollment to grow,
I plan on implementing
278
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:28,112
progressive teaching methods
that worked at my last job:
279
00:16:28,112 --> 00:16:31,824
expanded learning tracks,
life skills courses,
280
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:34,786
flipped classrooms...
- What's a flipped classroom?
281
00:16:34,786 --> 00:16:37,289
Never mind.
- We're not in the business
282
00:16:37,289 --> 00:16:40,084
of creating soldiers. We're
supposed to be shaping minds.
283
00:16:40,084 --> 00:16:42,461
- Precisely, and if you truly
understood the military model,
284
00:16:42,461 --> 00:16:44,798
you would see that discipline
fosters a great work ethic
285
00:16:44,798 --> 00:16:47,467
that carries over into every
aspect of a cadet's life.
286
00:16:47,467 --> 00:16:49,636
- And if I respectfully
disagree, what?
287
00:16:49,636 --> 00:16:51,514
Are you going to tell me
to drop and give you 20?
288
00:16:51,514 --> 00:16:54,184
- If I thought it would help.
- Look, I may not know much
289
00:16:54,184 --> 00:16:56,311
about the military,
but I do get kids.
290
00:16:56,311 --> 00:16:58,522
I know what keeps them
motivated to succeed.
291
00:16:58,522 --> 00:17:02,484
But I can't do it alone and
I also... can't climb this hill.
292
00:17:02,484 --> 00:17:06,198
- Now there's a word I hate:
"can't." It's the most overused
293
00:17:06,198 --> 00:17:08,700
word in the English language.
It's just another word for quit.
294
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,495
- Is that so?
- Yes, ma'am.
295
00:17:10,495 --> 00:17:12,997
You said, "I can't climb
this hill." Yes, you can.
296
00:17:12,997 --> 00:17:15,374
Do your feet hurt?
Sure, but you can climb.
297
00:17:15,374 --> 00:17:17,502
"Can't" suggests it's out
of your power. It's not.
298
00:17:17,502 --> 00:17:21,131
- Fine! How about this?
I'm not climbing this hill
299
00:17:21,131 --> 00:17:24,886
in these shoes.
- Better. That's a choice.
300
00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:30,267
- I really CAN'T stand that man.
301

available for
a meeting after lunch?
306

I mean, your office?

"Ish" means
somewhere in between.
311

- I am familiar with
the term. But tell me,
312
00:18:52,778 --> 00:18:54,698
at what point does
"ish" just become
313
00:18:54,698 --> 00:18:56,783
a blatant disregard
for a time commitment?

On time, I see.
317

- Actually, I got here
a few minutes early,
318
00:19:13,511 --> 00:19:15,972
in case you were
planning to blitzkrieg.
319
00:19:15,972 --> 00:19:18,809
- Perfect. I love a walk
and talk. Only this time,
320
00:19:18,809 --> 00:19:21,896
it's not a competition.
I have a game plan
321

I'd like to run by you.
- What's the catch?

- There's no catch. We both
want the same thing, right?
323
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:29,196
- Well, that depends.
324
00:19:29,196 --> 00:19:31,699
You sometimes seem
a little bit resistant
325
00:19:31,699 --> 00:19:35,787
to anybody's ideas but your own.
- Well, people can change.
326

If they... want to.

00:19:39,833 --> 00:19:41,710

than those words coming
out of your mouth.

- So I've looked around and
my first impression still holds.
330

We need to reembrace
conduct codes

you're still sticking

with your original opinion.
334
00:19:57,019 --> 00:19:58,855
You're consistent,
I'll give you that.

because of the financial
assistance. It appeals
338
00:20:06,489 --> 00:20:09,033
to graduates for college.
- Ambitious. Do not quote me
339
00:20:09,033 --> 00:20:11,870
on this, but I like
the way you think.
340
00:20:11,870 --> 00:20:13,831
- Well, it's not
flipping houses,
341
00:20:13,831 --> 00:20:15,791
but it's an idea
to put us on the map.
342
00:20:15,791 --> 00:20:17,752
- Flipped classrooms,
which simply means
343
00:20:17,752 --> 00:20:20,630
watching class lectures at home
and doing homework in class.
344
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:22,674
- Doesn't that
make it classwork?
345
00:20:22,674 --> 00:20:25,678
- Listen. I happen to believe
that a more personal approach
346
00:20:25,678 --> 00:20:28,639
to learning can be just
as effective, if not more,
347
00:20:28,639 --> 00:20:31,184
than your take-no-
prisoners attitude.
348
00:20:31,184 --> 00:20:33,145
- Dean, you have
to understand in battle,
349
00:20:33,145 --> 00:20:35,230
an individual is only
as strong as his unit.
350
00:20:35,230 --> 00:20:37,233
- We are not
in battle right now.
351
00:20:37,233 --> 00:20:39,068
- We're always in battle, ma'am.
352
00:20:39,068 --> 00:20:41,112
And for the record,
your approach sounds like
353
00:20:41,112 --> 00:20:43,699
a coddling load of psychobabble.
354
00:20:43,699 --> 00:20:45,409
- Psychobabble?
355
00:20:45,409 --> 00:20:47,744
You know what, Colonel?
We're done here.
356
00:20:47,744 --> 00:20:50,582
And to think that I actually
complimented you on your ideas.
357
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:52,834
- Idea. I had more, but you
didn't let me get to them.
358
00:20:52,834 --> 00:20:55,212
- Well, that's because the only
way you know how to share them
359
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:57,173
is by barking them
out like orders.
360
00:20:57,173 --> 00:20:59,300
You know what? I guess
it's true what they say.
361
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:01,010
Old soldiers never die...
362
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:04,681
or know when to keep their
ears open and mouths shut.
363
00:21:13,065 --> 00:21:15,027
- The woman won't listen
to common sense.
364
00:21:15,027 --> 00:21:17,279
- She's not the enemy, Tom.
365
00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:20,449
You need to find
a middle ground with her.
366
00:21:20,449 --> 00:21:24,704
- Yeah, well, preferably
in a different zip code.
367
00:21:26,748 --> 00:21:28,876
- There's something
you ought to know.
368
00:21:28,876 --> 00:21:32,171
I hate bringing it up,
'cause it might not even happen,
369
00:21:32,171 --> 00:21:34,174
but it might get you to
start thinking differently
370
00:21:34,174 --> 00:21:36,927
about your approach. There's
talk that Bremner College
371
00:21:36,927 --> 00:21:40,473
is going to buy the Academy
and tear it down to build
a dormitory complex.
372
00:21:40,473 --> 00:21:42,266
- Are you serious?
- Uh-huh.
373
00:21:42,266 --> 00:21:45,895
- You're gonna let that happen?
- No one's letting anything
happen. But at the end
374
00:21:45,895 --> 00:21:47,856
of the day, my ranking
means nothing to a bunch of
375
00:21:47,856 --> 00:21:51,068
30-something board members who
only salute to the bottom line.
376
00:21:51,068 --> 00:21:52,779
- What do I do?
377
00:21:52,779 --> 00:21:55,823
- Convince them the place
is worth keeping.
378
00:21:55,823 --> 00:21:58,159
Increasing enrollment
would be a great start,
379
00:21:58,159 --> 00:22:00,079
but you need to do it quickly.
380
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:02,998
- Why do I feel like the
captain of a sinking ship?
381
00:22:07,254 --> 00:22:09,172
- So by giving cadets a choice
382
00:22:09,172 --> 00:22:11,132
of watching lectures
at their leisure,
383
00:22:11,132 --> 00:22:14,053
in-class time can be
devoted to exercises,
384
00:22:14,053 --> 00:22:16,264
projects or discussions.
385
00:22:16,264 --> 00:22:18,392
Yes, Pete? Do you
have something to add?
386
00:22:18,392 --> 00:22:21,895
- Caroline, while I do think
some of your ideas are bold,
387
00:22:21,895 --> 00:22:24,774
I'm not sure any of this is
going to be the fix you need
388
00:22:24,774 --> 00:22:27,777
to turn this academy around.
- I agree. Look.
389
00:22:27,777 --> 00:22:30,113
The scholastics program
can always be improved,
390
00:22:30,113 --> 00:22:32,074
but that's not what's
ailing this academy.
391
00:22:32,074 --> 00:22:34,577
- So what do you think
the problem is, Jennifer?
392
00:22:34,577 --> 00:22:37,288
- Well, it seems like
no one really cares anymore.
393
00:22:37,288 --> 00:22:39,583
- Everyone's been getting away
with doing a little less
394
00:22:39,583 --> 00:22:42,252
and a little less
and it starts to snowball.
395
00:22:42,252 --> 00:22:44,589
- It wasn't always that way.
396
00:22:44,589 --> 00:22:47,550
When I started here, there
was a pride in the Academy
397
00:22:47,550 --> 00:22:50,554
and everything
it stood for: duty,
398
00:22:50,554 --> 00:22:54,891
honour, courage.
- Yes, we've heard.
399
00:22:54,891 --> 00:22:56,435
And now?
400
00:22:56,435 --> 00:22:58,688
- It doesn't take
a mathematician to figure
401
00:22:58,688 --> 00:23:01,524
our current class
sizes won't translate
402
00:23:01,524 --> 00:23:03,944
into a sustainable business.
403
00:23:03,944 --> 00:23:05,738
- Look. With all the cutbacks
and the rumours that the school
404
00:23:05,738 --> 00:23:07,740
is going under, we all
figure that the Academy's
405
00:23:07,740 --> 00:23:11,578
days are numbered.
- And you're all OK with that?
406
00:23:11,578 --> 00:23:13,580
Sorry, just curious.
407
00:23:13,580 --> 00:23:15,498
- No, none of us want this place
408
00:23:15,498 --> 00:23:19,503
to go out with a whimper,
but what can we do?

Do you mind explaining

You should be able to bounce
a quarter off this thing.

- I told you, I don't get
my allowance until Friday.

- I'll show you how
to properly make a bed.
421

Watch me and do what I do.
422
00:24:17,779 --> 00:24:20,741
You actually have no idea why
this is important, do you?
423
00:24:20,741 --> 00:24:26,038
It's about order, consistency,
attention to detail.
424
00:24:26,038 --> 00:24:28,250
- If you say so, sir.
425
00:24:28,250 --> 00:24:31,044
- Get your coat.
426
00:24:32,462 --> 00:24:36,259
- Wait. You're not going to make
me do push-ups again, are you?
427
00:24:36,259 --> 00:24:38,302
- Actually...
428
00:24:38,302 --> 00:24:40,889
I need your help.
429
00:24:40,889 --> 00:24:43,392
I'm trying to find out
what you and the other cadets
430
00:24:43,392 --> 00:24:45,310
think about the Academy.
431
00:24:45,310 --> 00:24:47,522
So you'll have permission
to speak freely.
432
00:24:47,522 --> 00:24:50,400
- Exactly how freely?
433
00:24:52,026 --> 00:24:55,322
Personally, I think
most cadets see Stone Creek
434
00:24:55,322 --> 00:24:57,366
as a place for parents
to send their slackers.
435
00:24:57,366 --> 00:24:59,494
- I beg your pardon?
- Kids with disciplinary
436
00:24:59,494 --> 00:25:02,456
problems. You know, hoping the
Academy will straighten 'em out.
437
00:25:02,456 --> 00:25:05,376
- I see.
438
00:25:05,376 --> 00:25:07,920
Anybody I might know
that fits that description?
439
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,132
- No, sir. None that
I know of personally.
440
00:25:11,132 --> 00:25:13,302
- OK.
441
00:25:13,302 --> 00:25:15,721
Tell me, cadet. When was
the last time the school
442
00:25:15,721 --> 00:25:18,683
had an honours ceremony?
- What's that?
443
00:25:20,059 --> 00:25:22,979
- It's a ceremony that honours
cadets who have demonstrated
444
00:25:22,979 --> 00:25:26,817
exemplary performance.
It features elaborate drills,
445
00:25:26,817 --> 00:25:28,611
parades, dress formals...
446
00:25:28,611 --> 00:25:31,406
when I was a cadet, the backbone
of any military academy.
447
00:25:31,406 --> 00:25:33,909
- I don't know. Guess they
phased that stuff out
448
00:25:33,909 --> 00:25:36,495
after you went here
back in the 60s.
449
00:25:36,495 --> 00:25:38,998
- I appreciate
your honesty, cadet,
450
00:25:38,998 --> 00:25:42,210
but it was actually the mid-80s.
(Mason gulping)
451
00:25:42,210 --> 00:25:45,380
Permission to speak
freely is now revoked.
452
00:25:59,021 --> 00:26:01,607
- You know, watching yoga
is only half as much fun
453
00:26:01,607 --> 00:26:04,110
as practicing it.
- How did you know I was here?
454
00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:07,322
- Because whenever you're
around me, a 21-gun salute
455
00:26:07,322 --> 00:26:09,534
goes off in my head.
456
00:26:11,244 --> 00:26:15,206
Great job, cadets.
I'll see you same time tomorrow.
457
00:26:17,584 --> 00:26:20,796
- If you're up for the
challenge, I thought maybe...
458
00:26:20,796 --> 00:26:22,549
maybe we could try this again.
459
00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:25,468
- Should I get my boxing
gloves now, or...?
460
00:26:25,468 --> 00:26:27,428
- You might be
surprised to hear this,
461
00:26:27,428 --> 00:26:29,765
but I'm actually easygoing.
462
00:26:31,934 --> 00:26:34,270
- About an easygoing
as an avalanche.
463
00:26:34,270 --> 00:26:37,983
- Try me.
- OK.
464
00:26:37,983 --> 00:26:40,485
So you really think
what's ailing this academy
465
00:26:40,485 --> 00:26:43,322
could be solved with
your military approach?
466
00:26:43,322 --> 00:26:45,700
- I did, but you were right
467
00:26:45,700 --> 00:26:49,162
to ask me to take
a deeper look around.
468
00:26:49,162 --> 00:26:52,082
What?
- You just said I was right.
469
00:26:52,082 --> 00:26:54,878
Forgive me for basking
in a little glory.
470
00:26:54,878 --> 00:26:58,047
- Well, don't bask too long.
471
00:26:58,047 --> 00:27:00,801
The board is talking
about closing the Academy.
472
00:27:00,801 --> 00:27:03,929
- So the rumours are true.
473
00:27:03,929 --> 00:27:06,348
How much time do we have?
- We'll finish the school year
474
00:27:06,348 --> 00:27:09,227
for sure, but the deal
could be sealed before that,
475
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:12,647
which is why you and I have
to find a way to work together.
476
00:27:12,647 --> 00:27:15,860

477
00:27:15,860 --> 00:27:18,237
to not bark out ideas
like I'm your subordinate.
478
00:27:18,237 --> 00:27:21,617

that you keep an open mind

traditional approach.

- So sir, is it true?
506
00:29:38,024 --> 00:29:40,026
You were in the Gulf War?
507
00:29:40,026 --> 00:29:43,197
- One of the many places
I was deployed, yes.
508
00:29:43,197 --> 00:29:47,202
- I heard you were the youngest
lieutenant in Operation
Desert Shield.
509
00:29:47,202 --> 00:29:49,746
And stayed right through
the invasion of Kuwait?
510
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:51,706
That had to be epic, huh?
511
00:29:51,706 --> 00:29:54,418
- I wouldn't say epic, but...
definitely an experience.
512
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:57,338
Where'd you learn all this?
- There's this thing called
513
00:29:57,338 --> 00:29:59,715
the internet... sir.
514
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:01,676
- Well, why are you
asking me questions?
515
00:30:01,676 --> 00:30:03,720
If you read it on the internet,
it must be true, right?
516
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,931
- I meant no disrespect, sir.
517
00:30:05,931 --> 00:30:08,392
I was just curious
after our discussion.
518
00:30:08,392 --> 00:30:11,896
See, I did some
research on Stone Creek.
519
00:30:11,896 --> 00:30:14,233
- OK.
- Did you know two generals
520
00:30:14,233 --> 00:30:16,902
from World War II were former
graduates of the Academy?
521
00:30:16,902 --> 00:30:19,239
One of them even served on
the board before he took over
522
00:30:19,239 --> 00:30:21,032
the superintendent
post at Westpoint.
523
00:30:21,032 --> 00:30:23,409
- Didn't realize you
were such a history buff.
524
00:30:23,409 --> 00:30:25,871
- What was this place
like when you went here?
525
00:30:25,871 --> 00:30:28,415
- You mean during
the War of 1812?
526
00:30:30,459 --> 00:30:35,257
There was great pride
in being a Stone Creek cadet.
527
00:30:35,257 --> 00:30:40,012
We felt like we were a part of
something bigger than ourselves,
528
00:30:40,012 --> 00:30:41,973
that we could
accomplish anything
529
00:30:41,973 --> 00:30:45,435
if we set our mind to it.
- So do you think
530
00:30:45,435 --> 00:30:48,021
you can bring this place back
to the way it used to be?
531
00:30:48,021 --> 00:30:49,982
- I wouldn't
be here if I didn't.
532
00:30:49,982 --> 00:30:52,777
- That's cool.
533
00:30:52,777 --> 00:30:55,029
I mean, I'd like
to see that happen.
534
00:30:55,029 --> 00:30:57,115
- Really? That's
quite a turnaround
535
00:30:57,115 --> 00:30:59,493
from our earlier conversation.
Why the sudden change of heart?
536
00:30:59,493 --> 00:31:03,455
- Well, after that growth spurt
I've been waiting on kicks in,
537
00:31:03,455 --> 00:31:06,543
I was thinking about joining
the Air Force one day.
538
00:31:06,543 --> 00:31:08,420
- Really?
539
00:31:08,420 --> 00:31:11,799
Pretty impressive.
Future fly boy, eh?
540
00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:14,177
That's about the
toughest ticket in town.
541
00:31:14,177 --> 00:31:16,721
- Do you think I have
what it takes, sir?
542
00:31:20,684 --> 00:31:23,438
- My dad always said,
"You can attain
543
00:31:23,438 --> 00:31:26,232
anything you want in life
through perseverance."
544
00:31:26,232 --> 00:31:29,653
- You really believe that?
- I really do.
545
00:31:29,653 --> 00:31:33,991
You just need
the proper inspiration.
546
00:31:37,662 --> 00:31:39,664
Well, if you don't
want to get a tardy,
547
00:31:39,664 --> 00:31:42,000
you better hightail
it to class, hero.
548
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,337
- Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
549
00:31:44,337 --> 00:31:46,589
- Mm-hmm.
550
00:31:52,512 --> 00:31:55,558
- I didn't realize the Colonel
actually attended the Academy,
551
00:31:55,558 --> 00:32:00,230
but I'd recognize that
steely-eyed glare anywhere.
552
00:32:00,230 --> 00:32:03,192
- Oh, my goodness.
Look how cute he was.
553
00:32:03,192 --> 00:32:06,070
- I know! That's a picture
554
00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:08,698
of him with my mom.
That'd be on the night
555
00:32:08,698 --> 00:32:10,575
he finally mustered
the courage to ask her out.
556
00:32:10,575 --> 00:32:13,745
- (Caroline and Melanie): Aw!
- You know, you look like her.
557
00:32:13,745 --> 00:32:15,373
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
558
00:32:15,373 --> 00:32:18,501
- I miss hearing people say
that. It's hard to believe
559
00:32:18,501 --> 00:32:21,213
it's been almost three years
since she passed away.
560
00:32:21,213 --> 00:32:23,215
- Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
561
00:32:23,215 --> 00:32:25,759
- Oh...
- I had no idea
562
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:28,221
the Colonel was a widower.
563
00:32:28,221 --> 00:32:31,641
- So to what do
we owe the surprise?
564
00:32:31,641 --> 00:32:34,061
I thought you were studying
at Bremner College.
565
00:32:34,061 --> 00:32:37,731
- Uh, yeah. Yeah...
566
00:32:37,731 --> 00:32:40,819
Don't tell my dad,
but I took the day off.
567
00:32:40,819 --> 00:32:43,280
I think I'm having
a case of the June blues.
568
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,742
- Look, Kylie, feel free to call
me and vent, if you like.
569
00:32:46,742 --> 00:32:48,577
Before I got
into administration,
570
00:32:48,577 --> 00:32:50,746
I spent four years
as a career counsellor.
571
00:32:50,746 --> 00:32:53,000
- Oh, really? So is that helping
572
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,960
when it comes to butting
heads with my dad?
573
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,296
- It's a day-by-day situation.
574
00:32:57,296 --> 00:33:00,133
- Sometimes, minute-by-minute.
575
00:33:00,133 --> 00:33:03,344
(women chuckling)
- I thought I heard your voice.
576
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,142
What's going on in here?
- Oh, didn't you get the memo?
577
00:33:08,142 --> 00:33:10,185
It's Bring Your
Daughter to Work Day.
578
00:33:10,185 --> 00:33:14,691
- Um, Kylie, I'm afraid you
picked sort of a bad time.
579
00:33:14,691 --> 00:33:16,901
We're kind of in the throes
of it here. I've got a big
580
00:33:16,901 --> 00:33:19,613
strategy meeting with the boss.
- Oh, I prefer the term
581
00:33:19,613 --> 00:33:22,408
"superior officer."
- Yeah, no, I totally
582
00:33:22,408 --> 00:33:25,495
understand. I just came by
to say hi, see your office...
583
00:33:25,495 --> 00:33:28,332
- Oh, I can show it to you.
It's not very fancy, though.
584
00:33:28,332 --> 00:33:30,751
The Colonel here
doesn't like to decorate.
585
00:33:30,751 --> 00:33:33,546
- OK, let's go!
- OK, let's go.
586
00:33:35,882 --> 00:33:38,844
- (whispering): I like her.
587
00:33:38,844 --> 00:33:42,222
- Kylie is a lovely girl.
588
00:33:42,222 --> 00:33:44,434
You should be very proud.
589
00:33:44,434 --> 00:33:46,728
- Well, I can't take all the
credit. Her mother did most
590
00:33:46,728 --> 00:33:49,314
of the heavy lifting.
- I think Kylie would disagree.
591
00:33:49,314 --> 00:33:52,443
You can tell just by
the way she looks at you.
592
00:33:56,405 --> 00:34:00,827
- Um, well, you ready
to start brainstorming?
593
00:34:00,827 --> 00:34:03,915
- Let's get this party started.
594
00:34:10,464 --> 00:34:12,341
I think the key
to increasing enrollment
595
00:34:12,341 --> 00:34:15,010
is raising morale internally,
but also changing
596
00:34:15,010 --> 00:34:16,930
the community's
perception of the Academy.
597
00:34:16,930 --> 00:34:18,681
- I couldn't agree more,
but the question is
598
00:34:18,681 --> 00:34:20,725
how do we accomplish that
in the shortest amount of time?
599
00:34:20,725 --> 00:34:23,270
- Well, that's our challenge,
which got me thinking
600
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:25,314
about the homecoming dance.
- Well, that might stir
601
00:34:25,314 --> 00:34:27,525
some interest among cadets, but
I doubt it'll blip on the radar
602
00:34:27,525 --> 00:34:30,904
with the board members.
- You didn't let me finish.
603
00:34:30,904 --> 00:34:33,573
(dog whining)
Hey. Hey.
604
00:34:33,573 --> 00:34:35,785
- Beg your pardon.
605
00:34:35,785 --> 00:34:39,330
That's military speak for,
"I'm sorry. Please continue."
606
00:34:39,330 --> 00:34:43,210
- Thank you. This year,
the Academy turns 100,
607
00:34:43,210 --> 00:34:45,129
which got me thinking,
608
00:34:45,129 --> 00:34:47,714
why don't we host
a huge centennial benefit
609
00:34:47,714 --> 00:34:51,594
at Scholar Hall instead?
- Ah, gotcha.
610
00:34:51,594 --> 00:34:53,721
Bring out some alumni,
get a lot of free press.
611
00:34:53,721 --> 00:34:55,891
- Let's make it a celebration
that honours the school
612
00:34:55,891 --> 00:34:59,645
as well as the community. And
let's give the board a reason
613
00:34:59,645 --> 00:35:02,899
not to tear the Academy down.
- I like it.
614
00:35:02,899 --> 00:35:06,069
- You like it,
but you don't love it?
615
00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:08,197
- Don't get me wrong. I like
where you're headed. I just...
616
00:35:08,197 --> 00:35:09,907
I don't think
it goes far enough.
617
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:13,244
- I'm sensing a "yet"
in my future.
618
00:35:19,918 --> 00:35:22,922
I get it. This is all
very impressive.
619
00:35:22,922 --> 00:35:24,841
- Honours ceremonies
are the lifeblood
620
00:35:24,841 --> 00:35:27,845
of any military academy.
And it's not just handing out
621
00:35:27,845 --> 00:35:30,890
ribbons and commendations,
it's what's behind them.
622
00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:32,808
- And what's that?
- Pride.
623
00:35:32,808 --> 00:35:35,729
Something this academy
is obviously sorely lacking.
624
00:35:35,729 --> 00:35:38,315
I mean, a centennial celebration
doesn't mean anything
625
00:35:38,315 --> 00:35:40,485
if there's nothing
behind it to celebrate.
626
00:35:40,485 --> 00:35:43,196
Remember, perception is reality.
627
00:35:43,196 --> 00:35:46,742
- And so is the bottom line.
I imagine this all comes
628
00:35:46,742 --> 00:35:49,369
with a pretty hefty
price tag. And remember,
629
00:35:49,369 --> 00:35:51,455
our goal is to find a way
to increase enrollment.
630
00:35:51,455 --> 00:35:54,918
- Exactly. And this...
this is the key.
631
00:35:54,918 --> 00:35:56,961
You don't know what
it feels like to earn
632
00:35:56,961 --> 00:36:00,007
the Dean's Superior
Leadership Award.
633
00:36:00,007 --> 00:36:02,551
- But you do.
634
00:36:04,303 --> 00:36:07,307
- The honours ceremony's
a culmination of academics
635
00:36:07,307 --> 00:36:11,686
and discipline. This, this will
give our cadets and the faculty
636
00:36:11,686 --> 00:36:14,065
something to believe in.
Work hard, earn the honour,
637
00:36:14,065 --> 00:36:16,025
the rest will follow.
I'm telling you,
638
00:36:16,025 --> 00:36:17,985
if we can pull this off,
every parent out there
639
00:36:17,985 --> 00:36:20,155
will be dying to send
their kid to Stone Creek.
640
00:36:20,155 --> 00:36:22,991
- I feel your passion
and I agree with you.
641
00:36:22,991 --> 00:36:25,286
This could all be so incredible.
642
00:36:25,286 --> 00:36:28,665
- I'm sensing a "but"
in my future.
643
00:36:31,252 --> 00:36:33,671
(door shutting)
644
00:36:36,006 --> 00:36:38,426
- Uh, oh. Somebody
doesn't look happy.
645
00:36:38,426 --> 00:36:40,845
- How am I supposed to save
a school when there's not enough
646
00:36:40,845 --> 00:36:43,723
money in the budget
to afford a pencil eraser?
647
00:36:43,723 --> 00:36:46,894
- Well, hopefully,
it's nothing a little beef stew
648
00:36:46,894 --> 00:36:50,357
won't take the edge off.
- What's going on?
649
00:36:50,357 --> 00:36:53,527
Why are you trying to butter
me up with my favourite meal?
650
00:36:53,527 --> 00:36:55,529
You are not
switching majors again.
651
00:36:55,529 --> 00:36:58,199
- OK, will you relax?
Maybe I just wanted
652
00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:01,911
a little father-daughter time.
653
00:37:06,959 --> 00:37:10,005
- Well, then, why are there
three plates at the table?
654
00:37:10,005 --> 00:37:13,174
(knocking)
655
00:37:24,563 --> 00:37:27,190
Dean Foster.
- Hi.
656
00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:29,902
- Oh, come in.
657
00:37:31,821 --> 00:37:34,282
- Thanks for coming
on such short notice.
658
00:37:34,282 --> 00:37:36,994
- Are you kidding?
I welcomed a hot meal
659
00:37:36,994 --> 00:37:40,372
after the cold shoulder
I got this afternoon.
660
00:37:40,372 --> 00:37:42,751
- It wasn't that cold and
it wasn't directed at you.
661
00:37:42,751 --> 00:37:45,086
I'm just frustrated
with the situation.
662
00:37:45,086 --> 00:37:47,882
- I know. Welcome to my anxiety.
663
00:37:47,882 --> 00:37:51,177
Speaking of which, this bottle
is not going to open itself,
664
00:37:51,177 --> 00:37:53,638
Colonel.
- Tom.
665
00:37:53,638 --> 00:37:55,641
That's your name!
You might as well start
666
00:37:55,641 --> 00:37:58,435
letting people use it.
You'll have to forgive
667
00:37:58,435 --> 00:38:00,437
my father. He's not
used to entertaining.
668
00:38:00,437 --> 00:38:03,191
Or mixing business
with pleasure. Actually,
669
00:38:03,191 --> 00:38:07,070
he hasn't really figured
out the pleasure part yet.
- Would you like to come in?
670
00:38:10,574 --> 00:38:13,995
- I like what you haven't
done with the place.
671
00:38:13,995 --> 00:38:17,666
- I know. I guess it's the
offshoot of living in barracks
672
00:38:17,666 --> 00:38:20,544
for so long. I tend
to keep things sparse.
673
00:38:20,544 --> 00:38:23,130
Old habits die hard.
- I heard.
674
00:38:23,130 --> 00:38:25,841
If they die at all.
675
00:38:25,841 --> 00:38:29,262
At least you didn't paint
the outside camouflage.
676
00:38:29,262 --> 00:38:31,473
- Oh, no.
677
00:38:31,473 --> 00:38:33,893
I have to go back
to campus. My roommate,
678
00:38:33,893 --> 00:38:36,479
she's locked herself
out of our dorm.
679
00:38:36,479 --> 00:38:38,815
I'm so sorry. You know what?
680
00:38:38,815 --> 00:38:43,612
You guys eat, I'll go,
I'll come back as soon as I can.
681
00:38:43,612 --> 00:38:46,157
- (whispering): Wait. You can't
leave me here with her.
682
00:38:46,157 --> 00:38:48,326
What do you expect me to do?
683
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:51,371
- I don't know!
Listen to your guest?
684
00:38:51,371 --> 00:38:54,208
That wine isn't pouring itself.
685
00:38:54,208 --> 00:38:57,128
Bye, Caroline.
- Bye!
686
00:38:57,128 --> 00:38:59,715
- (whispering): Have fun!
687
00:38:59,715 --> 00:39:02,718
Just be charming, will ya?
688
00:39:06,180 --> 00:39:09,976
- So I take it my idea to
revive the honours ceremony
689
00:39:09,976 --> 00:39:12,229
is off the table.
690
00:39:12,229 --> 00:39:16,191
- No, it could still be on it,
691
00:39:16,191 --> 00:39:19,612
if only you had one.
692
00:39:21,573 --> 00:39:24,702
No, it's all about
weighing our options
693
00:39:24,702 --> 00:39:26,620
and deciding on the
best course of action.
694
00:39:26,620 --> 00:39:30,207
- But because you're the dean,
it's ultimately your decision.
695
00:39:30,207 --> 00:39:32,627
- That's true.
696
00:39:32,627 --> 00:39:34,212
But remember, we said
that we would work together.
697
00:39:34,212 --> 00:39:37,842
I know you're from a world
of leaders and followers,
698
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:39,761
but for me, there needs to be
699
00:39:39,761 --> 00:39:42,138
a yin and yang in order
to create harmony.
700
00:39:42,138 --> 00:39:44,683
- I see. Right brain
versus left brain.
701
00:39:44,683 --> 00:39:47,144
But which one of us
has the right brain?
702
00:39:47,144 --> 00:39:49,313
- Time will tell.
703
00:39:50,815 --> 00:39:52,734
- What made you decide
to be an English major?
704
00:39:52,734 --> 00:39:57,239
I imagined you having
hippie artist parents
705
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,451
who encouraged you
to chase rainbows.
706
00:40:00,451 --> 00:40:02,913
- Not exactly.
707
00:40:02,913 --> 00:40:05,248
You know the photo of that guy
708
00:40:05,248 --> 00:40:08,543
sticking daisies into rifles
of national guardsmen in protest
709
00:40:08,543 --> 00:40:10,755
of the Vietnam War?
- Yeah, the guy in the sweater.
710
00:40:10,755 --> 00:40:12,590
Don't tell me that was your dad?
711
00:40:12,590 --> 00:40:14,926
- No! No, but my dad was there
712
00:40:14,926 --> 00:40:17,805
the day that that photo was
taken. And that inspired him
713
00:40:17,805 --> 00:40:20,933
to become a war
photo journalist.
714
00:40:20,933 --> 00:40:22,685
And my mother
was a schoolteacher.
715
00:40:22,685 --> 00:40:25,730
My father respected the men
who fought for our country
716
00:40:25,730 --> 00:40:27,857
as well as the citizens
who objected to it.
717
00:40:27,857 --> 00:40:30,611
- Sounds like a very
brave and wise man.
718
00:40:30,611 --> 00:40:34,240
- Yeah, I wish I got
to know him a little better,
719
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:37,160
but he died over Hanoi
when I was two years old.
720
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,454
- Oh, sorry.
721
00:40:39,454 --> 00:40:41,958
- It's silly, really.
722
00:40:41,958 --> 00:40:46,129
How is it I manage to miss
a man I barely remember?
723
00:40:46,129 --> 00:40:49,424
- Some scars run
deeper than others.
724
00:40:49,424 --> 00:40:51,218
I think
725
00:40:51,218 --> 00:40:55,014
maybe they serve to remind us
how much the people meant to us.
726
00:41:00,312 --> 00:41:01,981
- Kylie told me.
727
00:41:01,981 --> 00:41:04,441
I'm very sorry
to hear about your wife.
728
00:41:12,450 --> 00:41:15,163
I'm curious.
729
00:41:18,207 --> 00:41:21,753
What's with the F. Scott
Fitzgerald quotation?
730
00:41:21,753 --> 00:41:25,257
He is a true
literary hero of mine.
731
00:41:25,257 --> 00:41:27,635
- Just the notion that we never
stop pursuing our goals,
732
00:41:27,635 --> 00:41:29,596
no matter what
life throws at us.
733
00:41:29,596 --> 00:41:31,431
- Nothing's impossible
till you say it is.
734
00:41:31,431 --> 00:41:35,477
- Now you're
speaking my language.
- Tom, I have been speaking it
735
00:41:35,477 --> 00:41:37,521
all along.
736
00:41:37,521 --> 00:41:41,484
I can't believe
I just called you Tom.
737
00:41:41,484 --> 00:41:44,404
Is that OK?
738
00:41:44,404 --> 00:41:46,908
- It's fine. Hooah.
739
00:41:46,908 --> 00:41:49,368
- I beg your pardon?
- Oh, that's a...
740
00:41:49,368 --> 00:41:51,495
military expression.
It comes from an acronym:
741
00:41:51,495 --> 00:41:54,541
heard, understood,
acknowledged. HUA.
742
00:41:54,541 --> 00:41:57,044
- OK. So it's a good thing?
743
00:41:57,044 --> 00:42:00,048
- Yeah, it's a very good thing.
744
00:42:03,509 --> 00:42:08,140
- To never giving up.
- To never giving up.
745
00:42:15,065 --> 00:42:18,069
- Forward march!
746
00:42:35,838 --> 00:42:37,841
Come on, guys.
You heard the Colonel.
747
00:42:37,841 --> 00:42:39,885
This is supposed
to be an honour.
748
00:42:39,885 --> 00:42:44,391
- Alright, Emily.
Let's see some enthusiasm.
749
00:42:44,391 --> 00:42:46,518
- Standby!
750
00:42:48,478 --> 00:42:50,523
Colours!
(trumpet playing)
751
00:43:03,579 --> 00:43:05,707
- Melanie?
752
00:43:07,625 --> 00:43:09,670
- Yes.
- Kylie called. This must
753
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:12,381
be for the Colonel, no?
- Actually, she wanted
754
00:43:12,381 --> 00:43:15,427
to talk to you. I guess
she wants to take you up
755
00:43:15,427 --> 00:43:19,305
on your guidance
counsellor offer.
- Aw.
756
00:43:19,305 --> 00:43:21,392
- Before you go, I know the
Colonel wants to speak with you.
757
00:43:21,392 --> 00:43:25,354
- You know what? I just really
need to clear my mind first.
758
00:43:25,354 --> 00:43:28,066
- You already had your one
yoga class this afternoon.
759
00:43:28,066 --> 00:43:30,402
- Oh, no. There is not
a downward dog deep enough
760
00:43:30,402 --> 00:43:34,282
to clear what I have
off my mind. Tell you what.
761
00:43:34,282 --> 00:43:38,619
Tell Tom he can meet me
here later, if he wants.
762
00:43:38,619 --> 00:43:41,123
Thank you.
763
00:43:44,168 --> 00:43:46,170
- "Tom"?
764
00:43:46,170 --> 00:43:48,798
♪♪
765
00:44:20,418 --> 00:44:22,879
- Sleeves, cadet.
766
00:44:28,511 --> 00:44:31,430
Melanie, do you have any
idea where Dean Foster is?
767
00:44:31,430 --> 00:44:33,934
- As a matter of fact,
I do. She said
768
00:44:33,934 --> 00:44:38,689
you should meet her there
anytime after 1800 hours.
769
00:44:38,689 --> 00:44:41,651
(whispering): That's 6:00.
770
00:44:41,651 --> 00:44:43,903
- I'm well aware.
771
00:44:49,993 --> 00:44:52,956
(rock music playing)
772
00:44:57,628 --> 00:44:59,630
Since when do you play pool?
773
00:44:59,630 --> 00:45:02,424
- Since when do you ask?
774
00:45:04,094 --> 00:45:06,596
I picked up the game in college.
775
00:45:06,596 --> 00:45:08,390
Sometimes, I even
got lucky enough
776
00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:10,434
to win a little weekend funny
money playing pool at the decks.
777
00:45:10,434 --> 00:45:13,437
- Funny money?
30 years in the service,
778
00:45:13,437 --> 00:45:16,232
I've played a little myself.
- Really?
779
00:45:16,232 --> 00:45:19,695
Maybe you should break.
- You sure?
780
00:45:19,695 --> 00:45:22,865
- Be my guest.
781
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,464
- Don't judge. I've got a bum
shoulder from a war injury.
782
00:45:38,550 --> 00:45:41,303
- I might know a pose or two
that would stretch that out,
783
00:45:41,303 --> 00:45:44,765
if you were willing
to open your mind to yoga.
784
00:45:44,765 --> 00:45:47,393
Corner pocket.
785
00:45:47,393 --> 00:45:50,814
- Maybe you're right. But what
about opening your mind?
786
00:45:50,814 --> 00:45:53,233
- To what?
- Your belief that my way
787
00:45:53,233 --> 00:45:56,196
of turning the Academy around
means teaching all the cadets
788
00:45:56,196 --> 00:45:59,407
to be mini soldiers.
That's not what it's about.
789
00:45:59,407 --> 00:46:02,411
- OK, enlighten me.
790
00:46:02,411 --> 00:46:04,997
Side pocket.
791
00:46:04,997 --> 00:46:07,875
- The Academy was built
on a military model
792
00:46:07,875 --> 00:46:10,170
because it teaches
self-discipline, confidence,
793
00:46:10,170 --> 00:46:12,506
leadership skills.
- Great! But what about things
794
00:46:12,506 --> 00:46:15,468
like individuality,
self-expression, creativity?
795
00:46:15,468 --> 00:46:17,345
- One doesn't
preclude the other.
796
00:46:17,345 --> 00:46:19,555
If a cadet will
pay attention to details
797
00:46:19,555 --> 00:46:22,601
like shining his shoes or making
sure his bed is squared away,
798
00:46:22,601 --> 00:46:25,687
he'll also go the extra mile
to redo that math equation
799
00:46:25,687 --> 00:46:27,690
or reread that
Shakespearian sonnet
800
00:46:27,690 --> 00:46:31,110
to make sure he understands it.
801
00:46:37,701 --> 00:46:39,536
What? Nothing?
802
00:46:39,536 --> 00:46:42,666
- I never thought about it
that way before, Tom.
803
00:46:42,666 --> 00:46:44,918
You're right.
804
00:46:44,918 --> 00:46:46,712
(Caroline chuckling)
805
00:46:46,712 --> 00:46:49,674
Now it's your turn
to bask in the glory.
806
00:46:49,674 --> 00:46:51,592
Feels good, doesn't it?
807
00:46:51,592 --> 00:46:53,929
- Feel better if it would
revive the honours ceremony.
808
00:46:53,929 --> 00:46:57,224
If I had 60 grand in
the budget for dress uniforms.
809
00:46:57,224 --> 00:46:59,226
- I'm afraid that kitty is dry.
810
00:46:59,226 --> 00:47:01,312
I barely scrounged up
enough funds
811
00:47:01,312 --> 00:47:04,357
to cover the
expense of the gala.
812
00:47:05,985 --> 00:47:09,071
- So it's impossible?
- Nothing's impossible.
813
00:47:09,071 --> 00:47:12,659
What ever happened to all that
stuff about "never give up"
814
00:47:12,659 --> 00:47:15,245
and "a soldier is born ready"?
815
00:47:16,746 --> 00:47:18,666
- Why do I feel
like I'm being taken?
816
00:47:18,666 --> 00:47:21,085
- We haven't betted anything
yet. Come on, soldier.
817
00:47:21,085 --> 00:47:23,963
Put your thinking cap on.
- We have to change the culture
818
00:47:23,963 --> 00:47:26,675
and a renewed sense of pride
would improve academics,
819
00:47:26,675 --> 00:47:30,053
the perception of the community
and thus, donations.
820
00:47:30,053 --> 00:47:31,931
- Everyone loves a cause.
821
00:47:31,931 --> 00:47:34,767
- Especially one
worth fighting for.
822
00:47:38,397 --> 00:47:40,899
Change the whole
perception of the Academy
823
00:47:40,899 --> 00:47:42,776
and up goes enrollment.
- I love it!
824
00:47:42,776 --> 00:47:45,613
Now the only question is whether
I can manage to raise the money
825
00:47:45,613 --> 00:47:48,950
for the gala and you can
whip the cadets into shape
826
00:47:48,950 --> 00:47:50,953
in time for a true
honours ceremony.
827
00:47:50,953 --> 00:47:53,789
- Wait, seriously?
We can do both?
828
00:47:53,789 --> 00:47:57,836
We have a deal?
- Sure...
829
00:47:57,836 --> 00:48:00,797
if I can sink this shot.
830
00:48:00,797 --> 00:48:04,802
- Wait! I am not staking
the future of the Academy
831
00:48:04,802 --> 00:48:07,305
on one shot.
- You expect me
832
00:48:07,305 --> 00:48:10,934
to have faith in you.
How about a little faith in me?
833
00:48:12,853 --> 00:48:15,647
- Fine. Take the shot.
834
00:48:23,949 --> 00:48:25,910
(sighing)
835
00:48:25,910 --> 00:48:28,162
Did it go in?
836
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,959
- Hooyah.
837
00:48:36,714 --> 00:48:39,050
- Well, I have to admit,
I haven't been hustled like that
838
00:48:39,050 --> 00:48:42,179
in a long time, Caroline.
839
00:48:43,972 --> 00:48:45,516
What?
840
00:48:45,516 --> 00:48:48,770
- That's the first time
you've called me Caroline.
841
00:48:50,271 --> 00:48:53,983
- Is that OK?
- It's better than Dean Foster.
842
00:48:53,983 --> 00:48:56,112
Or ma'am.
843
00:48:56,112 --> 00:48:58,030
- OK. Well, Caroline,
844
00:48:58,030 --> 00:49:00,908
I've been meaning
to say that dinner
845
00:49:00,908 --> 00:49:02,911
the other night was fun.
846
00:49:02,911 --> 00:49:05,747
I mean, I had a good time.
847
00:49:05,747 --> 00:49:09,210
I haven't felt
like that in a while.
848
00:49:09,210 --> 00:49:12,046
- I had a nice time too.
849
00:49:12,046 --> 00:49:14,049
- Well, good, then maybe
we should do it again.
850
00:49:14,049 --> 00:49:16,427
I mean, if you're
up for the idea.
851
00:49:16,427 --> 00:49:19,096
- Are you asking me
out on a date?
852
00:49:19,096 --> 00:49:20,765
- I guess I am.
853
00:49:20,765 --> 00:49:25,145
I'm sorry, it's been a quarter
century since I asked a girl out
854
00:49:25,145 --> 00:49:26,814
and I'm a little rusty.
855
00:49:26,814 --> 00:49:29,692
But yes, I would like
for us to go out on a date,
856
00:49:29,692 --> 00:49:33,572
a real date,
and see what happens.
857
00:49:33,572 --> 00:49:35,407
- What do you think
is gonna happen?
858
00:49:35,407 --> 00:49:38,910
- I'm not sure, but it cannot
be more awkward than
it is right now.
859
00:49:38,910 --> 00:49:42,039
- One can hope.
860
00:49:42,039 --> 00:49:44,834
Yes, Tom.
861
00:49:44,834 --> 00:49:47,087
It's a date.
- Hooah.
862
00:49:47,087 --> 00:49:50,048
- Hooyah.
- No, I said simply hooah.
863
00:49:50,048 --> 00:49:52,719
- That's what I said.
- No, you said "hooyah."
864
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,429
Said it that way earlier too.
- No, I didn't!
865
00:49:54,429 --> 00:49:58,183
- Just say it for me again.
- Hooyah.
866
00:49:58,183 --> 00:50:01,520
There. I said it
right that time.
867
00:50:09,362 --> 00:50:12,325
- Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!
868
00:50:12,325 --> 00:50:15,578
Come on, Keller! Pick it up!
869
00:50:21,043 --> 00:50:23,921
Cadets! Fall in!
870

- Attention!
873
00:50:39,439 --> 00:50:42,859
- So cadets, I know
that Sergeant McAllister
874
00:50:42,859 --> 00:50:46,030
has informed you of our plan
to revive the honours ceremony
875
00:50:46,030 --> 00:50:48,199
here at Stone Creek.
876
00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:51,370
Formulating the plan
is the easy part.
877
00:50:51,370 --> 00:50:55,499
Executing it will
require diligence,
878
00:50:55,499 --> 00:51:00,046
persistence, determination.
879
00:51:00,046 --> 00:51:03,592
And we only have a short
time to reach our goal,
880
00:51:03,592 --> 00:51:05,594
so the Sergeant and
I are going to push you
881
00:51:05,594 --> 00:51:07,471
to master some elaborate drills
882
00:51:07,471 --> 00:51:09,349
that you'll need
for the ceremony.
883
00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:13,144
I'll also be assigning ranks,
including Battalion Commander.
884
00:51:13,144 --> 00:51:15,355
- That's why I recommend
you all be at your best!
885
00:51:15,355 --> 00:51:18,985
Cadets! Fall out!
886
00:51:27,077 --> 00:51:29,914
- Colonel, sir. If possible,
887
00:51:29,914 --> 00:51:32,792
I would like to be considered
for rank of Battalion Commander.
888
00:51:32,792 --> 00:51:35,296
- That's a lot
of responsibility.
889
00:51:35,296 --> 00:51:39,550
A position typically assigned
to seniors. You really think
you're up for the challenge?
890
00:51:39,550 --> 00:51:42,554
- Yes, sir. I just want
a chance to prove what I can do.
891
00:51:42,554 --> 00:51:44,806
- A big change from the young
man with the untucked shirt
892
00:51:44,806 --> 00:51:47,183
and the attitude.
- People can change, sir.
893
00:51:47,183 --> 00:51:50,646
They just need
the proper... inspiration.
894
00:51:52,398 --> 00:51:56,445
- Tell you what. I will
take it under advisement.
895
00:51:59,323 --> 00:52:01,326

Lovely day.

a good time to talk?
907
00:53:08,820 --> 00:53:10,780
I know you're in the thick
of it at the Academy.
908
00:53:10,780 --> 00:53:13,075
- I have been on the phone
all day calling for donations
909
00:53:13,075 --> 00:53:16,161
and I would love
a chance to rest my voice
910
00:53:16,161 --> 00:53:19,874
and put my ears to work. Tea?
911
00:53:22,001 --> 00:53:25,172
Are you still thinking
about dropping out of school?
912
00:53:25,172 --> 00:53:28,217
- I thought about what you said,
913
00:53:28,217 --> 00:53:30,804
but I can't explain it.
914

It just doesn't

I'm just wasting my time

to your father?
918
00:53:42,483 --> 00:53:45,028
- Oh, forget it.
Have you met my father?
919
00:53:45,028 --> 00:53:48,699
On a good day,
he's listening-challenged.
920

of doing what
I think is right for me.
922
00:53:53,121 --> 00:53:55,415

my decision, right?
924

what I think,

or do you want me to tell you
what you want to hear?
926
00:54:07,220 --> 00:54:09,265
- I guess both.
927

already made up your mind.
928

And if that's the case,
929
00:54:15,481 --> 00:54:18,275
I'm not the person
you should be talking to.
930
00:54:18,275 --> 00:54:21,821
- He's gonna hit the roof.
931
00:54:21,821 --> 00:54:25,074
- Look, Kylie. If you want
your father to respect you
932
00:54:25,074 --> 00:54:29,830
as an adult, then you gotta
treat him the same way.

You should have this by now.

Ever. Just strike that
word from your vocabulary.

That goes for all of you.
1018

We're running out of time
to nail this routine down.
1019
01:00:40,050 --> 01:00:42,344
- Alright, guys, let's go!
- You should give them
1020
01:00:42,344 --> 01:00:44,346
some slack. They're all
trying their best, sir.
1021
01:00:44,346 --> 01:00:46,348
- Unless we come up with
the rest of the money
1022
01:00:46,348 --> 01:00:48,559
for the dress uniforms
and the real equipment,
1023
01:00:48,559 --> 01:00:52,605
there is no honours ceremony.
I know he's got it in him.
1024
01:00:52,605 --> 01:00:57,069
But I'm curious: was there any
backlash from the seniors
for giving him the post?
1025
01:00:57,069 --> 01:00:59,572
- No, not at all, sir.
They're all rooting for him.
1026
01:00:59,572 --> 01:01:01,950
Plus, they know he's the
smartest kid of the bunch
1027
01:01:01,950 --> 01:01:04,035
and he's been
dealt a rough hand.
1028
01:01:04,035 --> 01:01:06,622
- How so?
- Father out of the picture.
1029
01:01:06,622 --> 01:01:08,958
Minor disciplinary issues
at other schools. The mother
1030
01:01:08,958 --> 01:01:12,921
probably sent him here 'cause
she doesn't know what else
to do with him, sir.

Listen. I'm sure we'll
find the money somehow.

got off a call with Henry.
1035

OK. Well, that's out
of your hands, though, right?

You can't control
the future of the school.

it was about Stone Creek

fond memories of my time there.

01:10:42,787 --> 01:10:46,708
You once told me
people can change.
1177
01:10:46,708 --> 01:10:50,212
Maybe now is the
time to show it.
1178
01:10:53,382 --> 01:10:55,217
- Why is it these don't pop in
1179
01:10:55,217 --> 01:10:57,429
like the picture on
the side of the printer?
1180
01:10:57,429 --> 01:10:59,806
I don't understand.
1181
01:11:04,228 --> 01:11:07,231
Oh. Well, of course
for you it works.
1182
01:11:07,231 --> 01:11:09,485
Thanks, Colonel.

Caroline's resume.
1184
01:11:12,112 --> 01:11:15,450
I know. I mean,
I'm not supposed to know,
1185
01:11:15,450 --> 01:11:17,494
but I know.
1186
01:11:17,494 --> 01:11:20,580
It's sad, you know?
1187
01:11:20,580 --> 01:11:23,793
- I do.
1188
01:11:23,793 --> 01:11:26,337
- Uh, sorry, pal.
Your dean already called
1189
01:11:26,337 --> 01:11:29,132
and hit me up for a donation.
I'll tell you what I told her.
1190
01:11:29,132 --> 01:11:31,969
Charity begins at home.
- I'm not looking
1191
01:11:31,969 --> 01:11:33,720
for a donation.
I'm looking for an investment.
1192
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,265
- Come again?
- Do you have any idea
1193
01:11:36,265 --> 01:11:38,768
how many parents and community
members are going to come out
1194
01:11:38,768 --> 01:11:40,980
and help us celebrate
the Stone Creek centennial?
1195
01:11:40,980 --> 01:11:43,607
I just think it's a shame that
when the whole town comes out
1196
01:11:43,607 --> 01:11:45,818
on Saturday, the name
they're going to see plastered
1197
01:11:45,818 --> 01:11:47,988
on every program and every
banner is McGinty's Grill.
1198
01:11:47,988 --> 01:11:52,075
- McGinty's? That place is
a town over, in Lewiston Falls.
1199
01:11:52,075 --> 01:11:54,620
- I know. Just think what that's
going to say to your loyal
1200
01:11:54,620 --> 01:11:56,706
patrons in Stone Creek.
1201
01:11:56,706 --> 01:11:59,793
- Hold on there, soldier.
1202
01:11:59,793 --> 01:12:01,962
- Colonel, that's
incredible news.
1203
01:12:01,962 --> 01:12:05,966
Are you sure you don't want
to tell Caroline yourself?
1204
01:12:05,966 --> 01:12:08,052
- No, I'll leave that
to you, if you don't mind.
1205
01:12:08,052 --> 01:12:10,430
- OK.
- I have something else
1206

You were right. I do try

01:14:09,651 --> 01:14:11,528
But last night,
1226
01:14:11,528 --> 01:14:14,907
I started to realize that
it is not getting me anywhere.
1227
01:14:21,456 --> 01:14:23,542
I guess it's like...
1228
01:14:23,542 --> 01:14:28,256
how I shut down every time
you mention your mom.
1229
01:14:28,256 --> 01:14:30,842
I suppose somewhere in my head,
I think if I don't talk
1230
01:14:30,842 --> 01:14:33,303
about it, then I won't feel
1231
01:14:33,303 --> 01:14:36,557
the pain of her
not being there anymore.
1232
01:14:36,557 --> 01:14:39,560
But when you told me you were
dropping out of college...
1233
01:14:41,688 --> 01:14:43,690
...all I could think of was,
1234
01:14:43,690 --> 01:14:47,737
what would your mom say?
1235
01:14:47,737 --> 01:14:50,698
What would she do?
1236
01:14:53,494 --> 01:14:55,704

came out of my mouth.
1237
01:14:55,704 --> 01:14:57,664
All I could think of was...
1238
01:14:57,664 --> 01:15:01,586
I just wanted
to put life on hold.
1239
01:15:02,962 --> 01:15:07,676
The truth is, I don't know
what's right for you...

to pay a visit to
the Senator and make
a plea on Stone Creek's behalf.
1316

legislation to have Stone Creek

declared a historical landmark.
1318

valuable than money.

I'm making it my mission
to see that happen.

a historical landmark,
1322
01:23:15,907 --> 01:23:18,910
it can't be destroyed
or altered in any way?
1323

- That's right.
- Thank you, Senator!
1324

be pleased about this,
1325

that this will translate
1326

01:24:29,491 --> 01:24:32,328
- So I've been told.
1346
01:24:32,328 --> 01:24:35,331
You're not so bad yourself.
1347
01:24:35,331 --> 01:24:38,335
- Glad you decided
to stick around.
1348
01:24:38,335 --> 01:24:40,212
- Well, to tell you the truth,
1349
01:24:40,212 --> 01:24:43,383
I haven't been able to shake
that quote I gave you.
1350
01:24:45,594 --> 01:24:48,388
"Never give up on something
you can't go a day
1351
01:24:48,388 --> 01:24:51,142
without thinking about."
1352
01:24:53,352 --> 01:24:55,354
- Permission to
kiss you, Caroline?
1353
01:24:55,354 --> 01:24:59,651
- I thought you'd
never ask, Tom.
