:10:04
Try to eat a little something,
just to keep up appearances.
:10:07
Otherwise I'll get an earache from Mrs Malloy.
:10:10
It's delicious, sir.
:10:12
I don't imagine I had much appetite
when I was appointed cadet major.
:10:16
My God. Can't be 45 years ago.
Nobody's that old.
:10:22
Wasn't General Black commander then, sir?
:10:24
- General Black?
- Yes. Yes, General Black.
:10:27
We cadets used to say
that his name described his heart.
:10:32
But we respected the hell out of him.
He went the whole nine yards.
:10:35
It didn't matter whether it was war
or growing roses or making men.
:10:41
You know that picture of him
in the admin building?
:10:43
When I was a plebe
it used to scare me walking under it.
:10:46
That's why they hung it there.
:10:48
The truth is you would have loved him
like a father. I know I did.
:10:52
Speaking of fathers, Mr Moreland,
is your dad still at Fort Benning?
:10:56
No, sir, he's at Fort Polk now.
:10:59
Well, a good top sergeant
is worth his weight in gold.
:11:03
I know many a colonel who's had
his ass saved by a clever sergeant.
:11:07
Excuse me, Mrs Malloy.
:11:09
I'm sure he's very proud of you, son.
:11:11
- I hope he is, sir.
- Oh, thank you.
:11:15
My doctor allows me one of these a day.
This is my third.
:11:19
I wish I could tell you that there are more old
generals than old doctors, but it's not true.
:11:24
Mrs Malloy, my officers and I
will have coffee and brandy in the study.
:11:30
Gentlemen?
:11:37
I'm afraid I can't vouch for the vintage,
:11:40
but ultimately
it is the company that counts, isn't it?
:11:43
So, what shall we drink to?
:11:46
I tell you what. Let's drink
to the one thing that never changes.
:11:50
To the one permanent part of a man's life.
:11:53
- What's that, sir?
- Honour.
:11:55
Honour, indeed.
:11:57
Burglarproof, foolproof, weatherproof.
100 proof. Honour.
