:03:01
- This is Sergeant Briggs.
- Yes, sir.
:03:04
I have a delegation here
that wants to meet with you.
:03:07
Tell the board
we'll be honoured to meet with them.
:03:09
It's a delegation of parents.
:03:14
- Parents?
- Six of them.
:03:16
The man in charge
is Master Sergeant Kevin Moreland.
:03:20
Will you talk to them?
:03:30
Yes, sir. Send them in at 0930 hours.
:03:34
Affiirmative.
:03:49
So it's your father. So what?
:03:51
Damn near everybody here has got
a mother or father hanging around outside.
:03:56
- You don't.
- Yeah, well, I'm a hard case.
:04:01
- Sorry.
- Forget it.
:04:03
Look, at least your old man has got
a nodding acquaintance with the real world.
:04:08
Hell, I like him.
:04:12
Everybody likes my old man.
:04:15
You do too, Brian. Admit it.
That's why you're so scared.
:04:20
No, I ain't scared.
:04:22
I don't know if I like him.
I'm still thinking about it.
:04:26
Yeah, well, don't rush into anything.
:04:32
When my mother died I was sitting
in the hallway in the army hospital.
:04:38
I was worried as hell. I knew she was
real sick. She had this bad kidney thing.
:04:44
So I'm sitting there
and my father comes out of the room
:04:49
and tells me that she's dead.
:04:51
He led me to this little chapel they had there
:04:54
and he sat me down
and he told me I could cry for 15 minutes.
:04:58
He gave me 15 minutes to cry
and after that I wasn't supposed to cry again.
