Even if I'd led my class
the way Grandpa...

1:22:02
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa."
What about yourself?

1:22:05
Why is it so important
that you satisfy him, the old...

1:22:10
Because he loved me so.
1:22:14
Yeah, I'm sure he did... once.
1:22:18
But all through military school,
from the time I was eight,

1:22:22
I kept letting him down.
1:22:24
I never even wanted to play
with the tin soldiers he gave me.

1:22:28
Grandpa kept telling me
that if I was a Smollett, I'd...

1:22:32
But I guess I was always...
well, you know... weak.

1:22:38
I was a joke at the Academy.
I only lasted a couple of months.

1:22:44
Grandpa couldn't face
his old cronies.

1:22:49
Well, that's it.
1:22:51
Now you can see what a mess
I made out of everything.

1:22:54
You've done no such thing.
1:22:56
You're fine and strong,
but you're just sensitive... that's all.

1:23:00
But don't you think I'm a failure
after everything I've told you?

1:23:04
A failure? Just because
you're not an officer?

1:23:08
An officer I know said that you
are the boys doing the fighting.

1:23:11
- Lieutenant Willett?
- Yes.

1:23:14
You think a lot of him,
don't you?

1:23:16
Of course, but what's that
got to do with it?

1:23:19
You're a soldier, and I'm...
that is, we're proud of you.

1:23:23
And I hope you never
get promoted.

1:23:25
All those officers strutting around
with their gold braid and everything.

1:23:31
Gee, Jane, I'm so glad
you feel that way about it.

1:23:35
But Grandpa...
1:23:37
Bother Grandpa!
1:23:40
There's Soda. You'd better go
before we wake the colonel.

1:23:46
He doesn't scare me.
1:23:49
Not anymore, he doesn't.
1:23:51
Jane, let me stay long enough
for just one cigarette.

1:23:54
All right.
1:23:56
Provided you don't ask
my permission to smoke it.
