Studies show it helpswith concentration.

179
00:10:58,866 --> 00:11:00,993
And relaxation.

180
00:11:01,035 --> 00:11:02,745
Maybe you shouldtry it sometime.

181
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:05,331
- I'm comfortablejust as I am, thank you.

182
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:07,750
- If you say so.

183
00:11:07,792 --> 00:11:09,377
Shall we?

184
00:11:09,418 --> 00:11:11,712
Anyway, I'm sure you'vealready gotten an earful

185
00:11:11,712 --> 00:11:14,840
about the declinein enrollment from Henry?

186
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:16,509
- Henry?

187
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:18,719
Oh, you mean the General.

188
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:21,222
- Right, I forgotyou two served together.

189
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:23,516
I suppose old habitsmust die hard.

190
00:11:23,557 --> 00:11:26,268
- If they die at all.- Right.

191
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:27,978
Well, that's whyI was brought on here,

192
00:11:28,062 --> 00:11:31,023
to help make the Academy morerelevant to a new demographic.

193
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:32,858
- What was wrong withthe old demographic?

194
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:36,737
- Parents don't care about thepomp and circumstance anymore.

195
00:11:36,779 --> 00:11:39,740
No offense. They just wantschools like Stone Creek

196
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:41,575
to get their kidsinto good colleges.

197
00:11:41,575 --> 00:11:43,911
- Well, I was brought into emphasize code of conduct,

198
00:11:43,994 --> 00:11:46,872
character development,discipline. I mean,look at this campus.

199
00:11:46,914 --> 00:11:48,999
It's the cadets' responsibilityto treat their institution

200
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:51,085
with respect. And howare they supposed to do that

201
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:53,421
with their nosesburied in cellphones?

202
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:56,799
On that subject, we're banningelectronic devices from campus.

203
00:11:56,841 --> 00:11:59,009
- Are you serious?

204
00:11:59,051 --> 00:12:02,471
You realize the studentsdo their homework online?

205
00:12:02,513 --> 00:12:05,015
Look, I don't necessarilydisagree with everything

206
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:07,935
you're saying, but I alsodon't see how your approach

207
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:10,604
is the only way that we're goingto turn this place around.

208
00:12:10,604 --> 00:12:14,525
- Do you have a better idea?- Thank you, Colonel.

209
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,485
That's the first time you'veasked me for my opinion.

210
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:19,947
- Sorry, ma'am. You will findI call 'em like I see 'em.

211
00:12:19,989 --> 00:12:23,451
- Well, it's very easy to walkin here, pointing fingers.

212
00:12:23,492 --> 00:12:25,619
I've only had a few weeks tosettle in and you've had, what,

213
00:12:25,619 --> 00:12:28,456
a few hours? Meet the faculty.

214
00:12:28,497 --> 00:12:30,291
Get to know the cadets.

215
00:12:30,332 --> 00:12:33,127
Take a deeper look aroundand then come to me with a plan

216
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:36,213
we can actually discuss.Got it, Colonel?

217
00:12:36,255 --> 00:12:38,883
- Yes, ma'am.

218
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:41,427
- Great.

219
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:47,725
- It's cruel andunusual punishment

220
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:49,602
that no one shouldbe subjected to.

221
00:12:49,685 --> 00:12:52,521
- It's not that bad. It's gotthe four major food groups:

222
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:55,483
beef, turkey, ham, cheese.- Yeah, I'm not talking about

223
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:57,568
your protein explosion.I'm talking about

224
00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:00,070
your "my way orthe highway" attitude.

225
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:02,072
Like it or not, Dad,this woman is still your boss.

226
00:13:02,114 --> 00:13:04,033
- Technically, we're in chargeof two separate divisions.

227
00:13:04,074 --> 00:13:08,037
- Well, it sounds to me likeshe's trying to work with you.

228
00:13:08,078 --> 00:13:09,872
- Right. By dismissing

229
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:12,041
everything theAcademy represents.

230
00:13:12,082 --> 00:13:14,835
- You are so frustrating. Why doyou think you're the only person

231
00:13:14,835 --> 00:13:17,213
who knows how to do things?- Maybe I am...

232
00:13:17,254 --> 00:13:19,548
- Maybe you're not!

233
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:21,467
Can I make a suggestion?

234
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:23,052
- Like me saying nowould make a difference.

235
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:25,763
- Put the dimmer switchon that personality of yours.

236
00:13:25,804 --> 00:13:30,142
Daddy, don't get me wrong.I love you to bits.

237
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:34,522
But you have a way of makingeveryone the enemy sometimes.

238
00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:40,236
- I don't mean to.- Well, look at you,

239
00:13:40,277 --> 00:13:43,197
taking baby steps.

240
00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:45,366
You could do thatmore often, too.

It's not a weakness to showyou have a softer side.

243
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:52,706
- Well, I'll give you that.

244
00:13:52,706 --> 00:13:57,086
Your mom had a way ofgetting me to lower my guard.

245

- Well, now that she's gone,

246

maybe you have to learnhow to do that for yourself.

247

Or find someone newto help you do it.

- That's it, hero. Give me 20.

You can thank CadetKeller. Real push-ups.

are the Academy'stop scholars, like Emily

266
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:40,981
and Jared. And Mason hereactually just skipped a grade.

267
00:15:41,065 --> 00:15:43,484
- The wise guy?

268
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:45,319
Flat backs!

Knees on the ground,if you have to.

270
00:15:47,863 --> 00:15:51,575
Dean, it's traditional to referto cadets by their last name.

271
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:53,786
- Oh, I don't know.I find that so impersonal.

272
00:15:53,827 --> 00:15:57,581
Don't you? I'm actually tryingto get them to call me Caroline.

273
00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:00,501
I mean, that is my name.Right, cadets?

274
00:16:00,542 --> 00:16:03,170
- OK, that's enough.On your feet.

Get to class, cadets.Walk with me.

276

Two things. First:I would appreciate it

277
00:16:12,971 --> 00:16:14,765
if you didn't contradict mein front of the cadets.

278
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:19,353
And secondly: how farcan you walk in those?

279
00:16:19,436 --> 00:16:22,940
- Watch me.

For enrollment to grow,I plan on implementing

281
00:16:25,609 --> 00:16:27,861
progressive teaching methodsthat worked at my last job:

282
00:16:27,861 --> 00:16:31,532
expanded learning tracks,life skills courses,

283
00:16:31,573 --> 00:16:34,535
flipped classrooms...- What's a flipped classroom?

284
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:37,037
Never mind.- We're not in the business

285
00:16:37,079 --> 00:16:39,790
of creating soldiers. We'resupposed to be shaping minds.

286
00:16:39,873 --> 00:16:42,209
- Precisely, and if you trulyunderstood the military model,

287
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:44,545
you would see that disciplinefosters a great work ethic

288
00:16:44,545 --> 00:16:47,214
that carries over into everyaspect of a cadet's life.

289
00:16:47,214 --> 00:16:49,383
- And if I respectfullydisagree, what?

290
00:16:49,383 --> 00:16:51,260
Are you going to tell meto drop and give you 20?

291
00:16:51,301 --> 00:16:53,929
- If I thought it would help.- Look, I may not know much

00:16:53,971 --> 00:16:56,056
about the military,but I do get kids.

00:16:58,308 --> 00:17:02,229
But I can't do it alone andI also... can't climb this hill.

295
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:05,941
- Now there's a word I hate:"can't." It's the most overused

00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:08,444
word in the English language.It's just another word for quit.

- Is that so?- Yes, ma'am.

298
00:17:10,237 --> 00:17:12,740
You said, "I can't climbthis hill." Yes, you can.

299

Do your feet hurt?Sure, but you can climb.

300
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:17,244
"Can't" suggests it's outof your power. It's not.

- Fine! How about this?I'm not climbing this hill

302

00:20:25,432 --> 00:20:28,352
to learning can be justas effective, if not more,

350
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:30,854
than your take-no-prisoners attitude.

351
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,814
- Dean, you haveto understand in battle,

352
00:20:32,856 --> 00:20:34,942
an individual is onlyas strong as his unit.

353
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:36,944
- We are notin battle right now.

354
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:38,779
- We're always in battle, ma'am.

355
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:40,822
And for the record,your approach sounds like

356
00:20:40,864 --> 00:20:43,408
a coddling load of psychobabble.

357
00:20:43,450 --> 00:20:45,118
- Psychobabble?

358
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,454
You know what, Colonel?We're done here.

359
00:20:47,454 --> 00:20:50,290
And to think that I actuallycomplimented you on your ideas.

360
00:20:50,290 --> 00:20:52,542
- Idea. I had more, but youdidn't let me get to them.

361
00:20:52,584 --> 00:20:54,920
- Well, that's because the onlyway you know how to share them

362
00:20:54,962 --> 00:20:56,797
is by barking themout like orders.

363
00:20:56,838 --> 00:20:58,966
You know what? I guessit's true what they say.

364
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:00,676
Old soldiers never die...

365
00:21:00,801 --> 00:21:04,429
or know when to keep theirears open and mouths shut.

366
00:21:12,729 --> 00:21:14,731
- The woman won't listento common sense.

367
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:16,942
- She's not the enemy, Tom.

368
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:20,153
You need to finda middle ground with her.

369
00:21:20,153 --> 00:21:24,449
- Yeah, well, preferablyin a different zip code.

370
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:28,578
- There's somethingyou ought to know.

371
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:31,873
I hate bringing it up,'cause it might not even happen,

372
00:21:31,915 --> 00:21:33,834
but it might get you tostart thinking differently

373
00:21:33,875 --> 00:21:36,586
about your approach. There'stalk that Bremner College

374
00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:40,173
is going to buy the Academyand tear it down to builda dormitory complex.

375
00:21:40,173 --> 00:21:41,967
- Are you serious?- Uh-huh.

376
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:45,595
- You're gonna let that happen?- No one's letting anythinghappen. But at the end

377
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:47,514
of the day, my rankingmeans nothing to a bunch of

378
00:21:47,556 --> 00:21:50,767
30-something board members whoonly salute to the bottom line.

379
00:21:50,809 --> 00:21:52,477
- What do I do?

380
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:55,522
- Convince them the placeis worth keeping.

381
00:21:55,564 --> 00:21:57,858
Increasing enrollmentwould be a great start,

382
00:21:57,858 --> 00:21:59,776
but you need to do it quickly.

383
00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:02,738
- Why do I feel like thecaptain of a sinking ship?

384
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:08,869
- So by giving cadets a choice

385
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:10,829
of watching lecturesat their leisure,

386
00:22:10,871 --> 00:22:13,749
in-class time can bedevoted to exercises,

387
00:22:13,790 --> 00:22:15,959
projects or discussions.

388
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:18,045
Yes, Pete? Do youhave something to add?

389
00:22:18,086 --> 00:22:21,590
- Caroline, while I do thinksome of your ideas are bold,

390
00:22:21,631 --> 00:22:24,468
I'm not sure any of this isgoing to be the fix you need

391
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:27,471
to turn this academy around.- I agree. Look.

392
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:29,806
The scholastics programcan always be improved,

393
00:22:29,848 --> 00:22:31,767
but that's not what'sailing this academy.

394
00:22:31,808 --> 00:22:34,311
- So what do you thinkthe problem is, Jennifer?

395
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,980
- Well, it seems likeno one really cares anymore.

396
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,232
- Everyone's been getting awaywith doing a little less

397
00:22:39,357 --> 00:22:41,902
and a little lessand it starts to snowball.

398
00:22:41,943 --> 00:22:44,237
- It wasn't always that way.

399
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:47,240
When I started here, therewas a pride in the Academy

400
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,243
and everythingit stood for: duty,

401
00:22:50,285 --> 00:22:54,581

think about the Academy.

So you'll have permissionto speak freely.

- Exactly how freely?

436
00:24:51,698 --> 00:24:54,951
Personally, I thinkmost cadets see Stone Creek

437
00:24:54,993 --> 00:24:57,037
as a place for parentsto send their slackers.

438
00:24:57,037 --> 00:24:59,164
- I beg your pardon?- Kids with disciplinary

439

440
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:05,045

Tell me, cadet. When wasthe last time the school

445
00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:18,391
had an honours ceremony?- What's that?

446
00:25:19,768 --> 00:25:22,646
- It's a ceremony that honourscadets who have demonstrated

447
00:25:22,687 --> 00:25:26,483
exemplary performance.It features elaborate drills,

448
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,235
parades, dress formals...

449
00:25:28,276 --> 00:25:31,071
when I was a cadet, the backboneof any military academy.

450
00:25:31,154 --> 00:25:33,573
- I don't know. Guess theyphased that stuff out

451
00:25:33,573 --> 00:25:36,159
after you went hereback in the 60s.

452
00:25:36,201 --> 00:25:38,662

- OK.- Did you know two generals

523
00:30:13,853 --> 00:30:16,523
from World War II were formergraduates of the Academy?

524
00:30:16,523 --> 00:30:18,817
One of them even served onthe board before he took over

525
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:20,610
the superintendentpost at Westpoint.

526
00:30:20,693 --> 00:30:22,987
- Didn't realize youwere such a history buff.

527
00:30:23,071 --> 00:30:25,448
- What was this placelike when you went here?

528
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:28,076
- You mean duringthe War of 1812?

529
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:34,833
There was great pridein being a Stone Creek cadet.

530
00:30:34,874 --> 00:30:39,629
We felt like we were a part ofsomething bigger than ourselves,

531
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:41,589
that we couldaccomplish anything

532
00:30:41,631 --> 00:30:45,093
if we set our mind to it.- So do you think

533
00:30:45,134 --> 00:30:47,637
you can bring this place backto the way it used to be?

534
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,597
- I wouldn'tbe here if I didn't.

535
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:52,392
- That's cool.

536
00:30:52,433 --> 00:30:54,644
I mean, I'd liketo see that happen.

537
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:56,729
- Really? That'squite a turnaround

538
00:30:56,729 --> 00:30:59,065
from our earlier conversation.Why the sudden change of heart?

539
00:30:59,107 --> 00:31:03,069
- Well, after that growth spurtI've been waiting on kicks in,

540
00:31:03,111 --> 00:31:06,114
I was thinking about joiningthe Air Force one day.

541
00:31:06,155 --> 00:31:08,032
- Really?

542
00:31:08,074 --> 00:31:11,411
Pretty impressive.Future fly boy, eh?

543
00:31:11,411 --> 00:31:13,746
That's about thetoughest ticket in town.

544
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:16,374
- Do you think I havewhat it takes, sir?

545
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:23,047
- My dad always said,"You can attain

546
00:31:23,089 --> 00:31:25,842
anything you want in lifethrough perseverance."

547
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:29,262
- You really believe that?- I really do.

548
00:31:29,262 --> 00:31:33,641
You just needthe proper inspiration.

549
00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:39,272
Well, if you don'twant to get a tardy,

550
00:31:39,272 --> 00:31:41,608
you better hightailit to class, hero.

551
00:31:41,608 --> 00:31:43,943
- Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

552
00:31:43,943 --> 00:31:46,237
- Mm-hmm.

553
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,163
- I didn't realize the Colonelactually attended the Academy,

554
00:31:55,204 --> 00:31:59,792
but I'd recognize thatsteely-eyed glare anywhere.

555
00:31:59,917 --> 00:32:02,795
- Oh, my goodness.Look how cute he was.

556
00:32:02,795 --> 00:32:05,632
- I know! That's a picture

557
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:08,301
of him with my mom.That'd be on the night

558
00:32:08,301 --> 00:32:10,178
he finally musteredthe courage to ask her out.

559
00:32:10,219 --> 00:32:13,348
- (Caroline and Melanie): Aw!- You know, you look like her.

560
00:32:13,389 --> 00:32:14,974
- Thank you.- Mm-hmm.

561
00:32:14,974 --> 00:32:18,061
- I miss hearing people saythat. It's hard to believe

562
00:32:18,102 --> 00:32:20,813
it's been almost three yearssince she passed away.

563
00:32:20,813 --> 00:32:22,815
- Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.

564
00:32:22,815 --> 00:32:25,360
- Oh...- I had no idea

565
00:32:25,401 --> 00:32:27,820
the Colonel was a widower.

566
00:32:27,862 --> 00:32:31,240
- So to what dowe owe the surprise?

567
00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:33,660
I thought you were studyingat Bremner College.

568
00:32:33,660 --> 00:32:37,288
- Uh, yeah. Yeah...

569
00:32:37,330 --> 00:32:40,416
Don't tell my dad,but I took the day off.

570
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:42,877
I think I'm havinga case of the June blues.

571
00:32:42,919 --> 00:32:46,339
- Look, Kylie, feel free to callme and vent, if you like.

572
00:32:46,381 --> 00:32:48,174
Before I gotinto administration,

573
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:50,343
I spent four yearsas a career counsellor.

574
00:32:50,426 --> 00:32:52,595
- Oh, really? So is that helping

575
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:54,555
when it comes to buttingheads with my dad?

576
00:32:54,597 --> 00:32:56,891
- It's a day-by-day situation.

577
00:32:56,933 --> 00:32:59,727
- Sometimes, minute-by-minute.

578
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:02,980
(women chuckling)- I thought I heard your voice.

579
00:33:05,316 --> 00:33:07,735
What's going on in here?- Oh, didn't you get the memo?

580
00:33:07,777 --> 00:33:09,737
It's Bring YourDaughter to Work Day.

581
00:33:09,779 --> 00:33:14,242
- Um, Kylie, I'm afraid youpicked sort of a bad time.

582
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:16,452
We're kind of in the throesof it here. I've got a big

583
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:19,205
strategy meeting with the boss.- Oh, I prefer the term

584
00:33:19,205 --> 00:33:21,958
"superior officer."- Yeah, no, I totally

585
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,086
understand. I just came byto say hi, see your office...

586
00:33:25,128 --> 00:33:27,922
- Oh, I can show it to you.It's not very fancy, though.

587
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:30,299
The Colonel heredoesn't like to decorate.

588
00:33:30,341 --> 00:33:33,177
- OK, let's go!- OK, let's go.

589
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:38,391
- (whispering): I like her.

590
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:41,811
- Kylie is a lovely girl.

591
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:44,021
You should be very proud.

592
00:33:44,063 --> 00:33:46,274
- Well, I can't take all thecredit. Her mother did most

593
00:33:46,315 --> 00:33:48,901
of the heavy lifting.- I think Kylie would disagree.

594
00:33:48,943 --> 00:33:52,071
You can tell just bythe way she looks at you.

595
00:33:56,034 --> 00:34:00,413
- Um, well, you readyto start brainstorming?

596
00:34:00,455 --> 00:34:03,541
- Let's get this party started.

597
00:34:10,047 --> 00:34:11,924
I think the keyto increasing enrollment

598
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:14,594
is raising morale internally,but also changing

599
00:34:14,594 --> 00:34:16,512
the community'sperception of the Academy.

600
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:18,264
- I couldn't agree more,but the question is

601
00:34:18,306 --> 00:34:20,266
how do we accomplish thatin the shortest amount of time?

602
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:22,852
- Well, that's our challenge,which got me thinking

603
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:24,896
about the homecoming dance.- Well, that might stir

604
00:34:24,937 --> 00:34:27,106
some interest among cadets, butI doubt it'll blip on the radar

605
00:34:27,106 --> 00:34:30,443
with the board members.- You didn't let me finish.

606
00:34:30,485 --> 00:34:33,112
(dog whining)Hey. Hey.

607
00:34:33,154 --> 00:34:35,364
- Beg your pardon.

608
00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:38,868
That's military speak for,"I'm sorry. Please continue."

609
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:42,747
- Thank you. This year,the Academy turns 100,

610
00:34:42,830 --> 00:34:44,665
which got me thinking,

611
00:34:44,707 --> 00:34:47,293
why don't we hosta huge centennial benefit

612
00:34:47,335 --> 00:34:51,130
at Scholar Hall instead?- Ah, gotcha.

613
00:34:51,172 --> 00:34:53,299
Bring out some alumni,get a lot of free press.

614
00:34:53,299 --> 00:34:55,468
- Let's make it a celebrationthat honours the school

615
00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:59,222
as well as the community. Andlet's give the board a reason

616
00:34:59,263 --> 00:35:02,475
not to tear the Academy down.- I like it.

617
00:35:02,475 --> 00:35:05,645
- You like it,but you don't love it?

618
00:35:05,686 --> 00:35:07,772
- Don't get me wrong. I likewhere you're headed. I just...

619
00:35:07,814 --> 00:35:09,482
I don't thinkit goes far enough.

620
00:35:09,524 --> 00:35:12,860
- I'm sensing a "yet"in my future.

621
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:22,495
I get it. This is allvery impressive.

622
00:35:22,495 --> 00:35:24,413
- Honours ceremoniesare the lifeblood

623
00:35:24,455 --> 00:35:27,416
of any military academy.And it's not just handing out

624
00:35:27,458 --> 00:35:30,461
ribbons and commendations,it's what's behind them.

625
00:35:30,503 --> 00:35:32,380
- And what's that?- Pride.

626
00:35:32,421 --> 00:35:35,299
Something this academyis obviously sorely lacking.

627
00:35:35,341 --> 00:35:37,844
I mean, a centennial celebrationdoesn't mean anything

628
00:35:37,885 --> 00:35:40,054
if there's nothingbehind it to celebrate.

629
00:35:40,096 --> 00:35:42,765
Remember, perception is reality.

630
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:46,269
- And so is the bottom line.I imagine this all comes

631
00:35:46,352 --> 00:35:48,938
with a pretty heftyprice tag. And remember,

632
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:51,023
our goal is to find a wayto increase enrollment.

633
00:35:51,023 --> 00:35:54,443
- Exactly. And this...this is the key.

634
00:35:54,527 --> 00:35:56,529
You don't know whatit feels like to earn

635
00:35:56,529 --> 00:35:59,574
the Dean's SuperiorLeadership Award.

636
00:35:59,615 --> 00:36:02,159
- But you do.

637
00:36:03,870 --> 00:36:06,873
- The honours ceremony'sa culmination of academics

638
00:36:06,914 --> 00:36:11,252
and discipline. This, this willgive our cadets and the faculty

639
00:36:11,294 --> 00:36:13,588
something to believe in.Work hard, earn the honour,

640
00:36:13,629 --> 00:36:15,548
the rest will follow.I'm telling you,

641
00:36:15,590 --> 00:36:17,550
if we can pull this off,every parent out there

642
00:36:17,592 --> 00:36:19,719
will be dying to sendtheir kid to Stone Creek.

643
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,555
- I feel your passionand I agree with you.

644
00:36:22,638 --> 00:36:24,807
This could all be so incredible.

645
00:36:24,849 --> 00:36:28,269
- I'm sensing a "but"in my future.

646
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:33,274
(door shutting)

647
00:36:35,610 --> 00:36:37,987
- Uh, oh. Somebodydoesn't look happy.

648
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:40,406
- How am I supposed to savea school when there's not enough

649
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:43,242
money in the budgetto afford a pencil eraser?

650
00:36:43,242 --> 00:36:46,454
- Well, hopefully,it's nothing a little beef stew

651
00:36:46,495 --> 00:36:49,874
won't take the edge off.- What's going on?

652
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:53,085
Why are you trying to butterme up with my favourite meal?

653
00:36:53,127 --> 00:36:55,087
You are notswitching majors again.

654
00:36:55,087 --> 00:36:57,757
- OK, will you relax?Maybe I just wanted

655
00:36:57,798 --> 00:37:01,510
a little father-daughter time.

656
00:37:06,557 --> 00:37:09,518
- Well, then, why are therethree plates at the table?

657
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,772
(knocking)

658
00:37:24,158 --> 00:37:26,744
Dean Foster.- Hi.

659
00:37:26,786 --> 00:37:29,497
- Oh, come in.

660
00:37:31,415 --> 00:37:33,793
- Thanks for comingon such short notice.

661
00:37:33,918 --> 00:37:36,545
- Are you kidding?I welcomed a hot meal

662
00:37:36,587 --> 00:37:39,924
after the cold shoulderI got this afternoon.

663
00:37:39,966 --> 00:37:42,301
- It wasn't that cold andit wasn't directed at you.

664
00:37:42,301 --> 00:37:44,637
I'm just frustratedwith the situation.

665
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,431
- I know. Welcome to my anxiety.

666
00:37:47,473 --> 00:37:50,726
Speaking of which, this bottleis not going to open itself,

667
00:37:50,768 --> 00:37:53,187
Colonel.- Tom.

668
00:37:53,229 --> 00:37:55,147
That's your name!You might as well start

669
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,942
letting people use it.You'll have to forgive

670
00:37:57,984 --> 00:37:59,944
my father. He's notused to entertaining.

671
00:37:59,986 --> 00:38:02,780
Or mixing businesswith pleasure. Actually,

672
00:38:02,822 --> 00:38:06,659
he hasn't really figuredout the pleasure part yet.- Would you like to come in?

673
00:38:10,162 --> 00:38:13,541
- I like what you haven'tdone with the place.

674
00:38:13,582 --> 00:38:17,169
- I know. I guess it's theoffshoot of living in barracks

675
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:20,047
for so long. I tendto keep things sparse.

676
00:38:20,172 --> 00:38:22,717
Old habits die hard.- I heard.

677
00:38:22,758 --> 00:38:25,428
If they die at all.

678
00:38:25,469 --> 00:38:28,806
At least you didn't paintthe outside camouflage.

679
00:38:28,848 --> 00:38:31,017
- Oh, no.

680
00:38:31,017 --> 00:38:33,394
I have to go backto campus. My roommate,

681
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:36,022
she's locked herselfout of our dorm.

682
00:38:36,022 --> 00:38:38,357
I'm so sorry. You know what?

683
00:38:38,357 --> 00:38:43,112
You guys eat, I'll go,I'll come back as soon as I can.

684
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:45,698
- (whispering): Wait. You can'tleave me here with her.

685
00:38:45,698 --> 00:38:47,867
What do you expect me to do?

686
00:38:47,908 --> 00:38:50,911
- I don't know!Listen to your guest?

687
00:38:50,953 --> 00:38:53,748
That wine isn't pouring itself.

688
00:38:53,789 --> 00:38:56,667
Bye, Caroline.- Bye!

689
00:38:56,709 --> 00:38:59,211
- (whispering): Have fun!

690
00:38:59,253 --> 00:39:02,298
Just be charming, will ya?

691
00:39:05,718 --> 00:39:09,513
- So I take it my idea torevive the honours ceremony

692
00:39:09,555 --> 00:39:11,766
is off the table.

693
00:39:11,807 --> 00:39:15,728
- No, it could still be on it,

694
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:19,190
if only you had one.

695
00:39:21,150 --> 00:39:24,236
No, it's all aboutweighing our options

696
00:39:24,236 --> 00:39:26,155
and deciding on thebest course of action.

697
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:29,742
- But because you're the dean,it's ultimately your decision.

698
00:39:29,742 --> 00:39:32,119
- That's true.

699
00:39:32,244 --> 00:39:33,746
But remember, we saidthat we would work together.

700
00:39:33,746 --> 00:39:37,333
I know you're from a worldof leaders and followers,

701
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:39,251
but for me, there needs to be

702
00:39:39,293 --> 00:39:41,629
a yin and yang in orderto create harmony.

703
00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:44,173
- I see. Right brainversus left brain.

704
00:39:44,256 --> 00:39:46,634
But which one of ushas the right brain?

705
00:39:46,759 --> 00:39:48,886
- Time will tell.

706
00:39:50,304 --> 00:39:52,264
- What made you decideto be an English major?

707
00:39:52,306 --> 00:39:56,769
I imagined you havinghippie artist parents

708
00:39:56,769 --> 00:39:59,939
who encouraged youto chase rainbows.

709
00:39:59,939 --> 00:40:02,358
- Not exactly.

710
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,735
You know the photo of that guy

711
00:40:04,777 --> 00:40:08,072
sticking daisies into riflesof national guardsmen in protest

712
00:40:08,114 --> 00:40:10,282
of the Vietnam War?- Yeah, the guy in the sweater.

713
00:40:10,282 --> 00:40:12,118
Don't tell me that was your dad?

714
00:40:12,159 --> 00:40:14,453
- No! No, but my dad was there

715
00:40:14,495 --> 00:40:17,289
the day that that photo wastaken. And that inspired him

716
00:40:17,331 --> 00:40:20,459
to become a warphoto journalist.

717
00:40:20,459 --> 00:40:22,169
And my motherwas a schoolteacher.

718
00:40:22,211 --> 00:40:25,256
My father respected the menwho fought for our country

719
00:40:25,297 --> 00:40:27,383
as well as the citizenswho objected to it.

720
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,136
- Sounds like a verybrave and wise man.

721
00:40:30,177 --> 00:40:33,722
- Yeah, I wish I gotto know him a little better,

722
00:40:33,764 --> 00:40:36,684
but he died over Hanoiwhen I was two years old.

723
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:38,978
- Oh, sorry.

724
00:40:39,019 --> 00:40:41,480
- It's silly, really.

725
00:40:41,522 --> 00:40:45,651
How is it I manage to missa man I barely remember?

726
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:48,946
- Some scars rundeeper than others.

727
00:40:48,988 --> 00:40:50,739
I think

728
00:40:50,781 --> 00:40:54,577
maybe they serve to remind ushow much the people meant to us.

729
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:01,500
- Kylie told me.

730
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:04,003
I'm very sorryto hear about your wife.

731
00:41:12,011 --> 00:41:14,722
I'm curious.

732
00:41:17,725 --> 00:41:21,228
What's with the F. ScottFitzgerald quotation?

733
00:41:21,353 --> 00:41:24,732
He is a trueliterary hero of mine.

734
00:41:24,773 --> 00:41:27,109
- Just the notion that we neverstop pursuing our goals,

735
00:41:27,193 --> 00:41:29,111
no matter whatlife throws at us.

736
00:41:29,153 --> 00:41:30,905
- Nothing's impossibletill you say it is.

737
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:34,950
- Now you'respeaking my language.- Tom, I have been speaking it

738
00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:37,036
all along.

739
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:40,956
I can't believeI just called you Tom.

740
00:41:40,998 --> 00:41:43,918
Is that OK?

741
00:41:43,959 --> 00:41:46,420
- It's fine. Hooah.

742
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:48,881
- I beg your pardon?- Oh, that's a...

743
00:41:48,923 --> 00:41:50,966
military expression.It comes from an acronym:

744
00:41:51,008 --> 00:41:54,053
heard, understood,acknowledged. HUA.

745
00:41:54,053 --> 00:41:56,555
- OK. So it's a good thing?

746
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:59,600
- Yeah, it's a very good thing.

747
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:07,691
- To never giving up.- To never giving up.

748
00:42:13,781 --> 00:42:17,618
- Forward march!

749
00:42:35,344 --> 00:42:37,346
Come on, guys.You heard the Colonel.

750
00:42:37,388 --> 00:42:39,348
This is supposedto be an honour.

751
00:42:39,431 --> 00:42:43,852
- Alright, Emily.Let's see some enthusiasm.

752
00:42:43,936 --> 00:42:46,063
- Standby!

753
00:42:48,023 --> 00:42:50,067
Colours!(trumpet playing)

754
00:43:03,122 --> 00:43:05,249
- Melanie?

755
00:43:07,167 --> 00:43:09,169
- Yes.- Kylie called. This must

756
00:43:09,211 --> 00:43:11,880
be for the Colonel, no?- Actually, she wanted

757
00:43:11,922 --> 00:43:14,925
to talk to you. I guessshe wants to take you up

758
00:43:14,967 --> 00:43:18,762
on your guidancecounsellor offer.- Aw.

759
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:20,848
- Before you go, I know theColonel wants to speak with you.

760
00:43:20,889 --> 00:43:24,810
- You know what? I just reallyneed to clear my mind first.

761
00:43:24,852 --> 00:43:27,521
- You already had your oneyoga class this afternoon.

762
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:29,898
- Oh, no. There is nota downward dog deep enough

763
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:33,736
to clear what I haveoff my mind. Tell you what.

764
00:43:33,777 --> 00:43:38,073
Tell Tom he can meet mehere later, if he wants.

765
00:43:38,115 --> 00:43:40,659
Thank you.

766
00:43:43,662 --> 00:43:45,664
- "Tom"?

♪♪

768
00:44:19,948 --> 00:44:22,409
- Sleeves, cadet.

769
00:44:27,998 --> 00:44:30,918
Melanie, do you have anyidea where Dean Foster is?

770
00:44:30,959 --> 00:44:33,420
- As a matter of fact,I do. She said

771
00:44:33,462 --> 00:44:38,133
you should meet her thereanytime after 1800 hours.

772
00:44:38,217 --> 00:44:41,095
(whispering): That's 6:00.

773
00:44:41,136 --> 00:44:43,430
- I'm well aware.

774
00:44:49,478 --> 00:44:52,481
(rock music playing)

775
00:44:57,152 --> 00:44:59,113
Since when do you play pool?

776
00:44:59,154 --> 00:45:01,949
- Since when do you ask?

777
00:45:03,575 --> 00:45:06,078
I picked up the game in college.

778
00:45:06,078 --> 00:45:07,871
Sometimes, I evengot lucky enough

779
00:45:07,913 --> 00:45:09,915
to win a little weekend funnymoney playing pool at the decks.

780
00:45:09,915 --> 00:45:12,876
- Funny money?30 years in the service,

781
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,671
I've played a little myself.- Really?

782
00:45:15,713 --> 00:45:19,174
Maybe you should break.- You sure?

783
00:45:19,216 --> 00:45:22,386
- Be my guest.

784
00:45:32,438 --> 00:45:35,983
- Don't judge. I've got a bumshoulder from a war injury.

785
00:45:38,068 --> 00:45:40,779
- I might know a pose or twothat would stretch that out,

786
00:45:40,779 --> 00:45:44,241
if you were willingto open your mind to yoga.

787
00:45:44,283 --> 00:45:46,827
Corner pocket.

788
00:45:46,952 --> 00:45:50,289
- Maybe you're right. But whatabout opening your mind?

789
00:45:50,330 --> 00:45:52,708
- To what?- Your belief that my way

790
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:55,627
of turning the Academy aroundmeans teaching all the cadets

791
00:45:55,669 --> 00:45:58,839
to be mini soldiers.That's not what it's about.

792
00:45:58,964 --> 00:46:01,842
- OK, enlighten me.

793
00:46:01,967 --> 00:46:04,470
Side pocket.

794
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:07,347
- The Academy was builton a military model

795
00:46:07,389 --> 00:46:09,600
because it teachesself-discipline, confidence,

796
00:46:09,683 --> 00:46:11,935
leadership skills.- Great! But what about things

797
00:46:11,977 --> 00:46:14,855
like individuality,self-expression, creativity?

798
00:46:14,897 --> 00:46:16,773
- One doesn'tpreclude the other.

799
00:46:16,815 --> 00:46:18,984
If a cadet willpay attention to details

800
00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:22,029
like shining his shoes or makingsure his bed is squared away,

801
00:46:22,070 --> 00:46:25,157
he'll also go the extra mileto redo that math equation

802
00:46:25,157 --> 00:46:27,159
or reread thatShakespearian sonnet

803
00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:30,621
to make sure he understands it.

804
00:46:37,169 --> 00:46:39,004
What? Nothing?

805
00:46:39,046 --> 00:46:42,132
- I never thought about itthat way before, Tom.

806
00:46:42,174 --> 00:46:44,384
You're right.

807
00:46:44,426 --> 00:46:46,178
(Caroline chuckling)

808
00:46:46,178 --> 00:46:49,139
Now it's your turnto bask in the glory.

809
00:46:49,181 --> 00:46:51,016
Feels good, doesn't it?

810
00:46:51,058 --> 00:46:53,393
- Feel better if it wouldrevive the honours ceremony.

811
00:46:53,435 --> 00:46:56,688
If I had 60 grand inthe budget for dress uniforms.

812
00:46:56,730 --> 00:46:58,690
- I'm afraid that kitty is dry.

813
00:46:58,732 --> 00:47:00,776
I barely scrounged upenough funds

814
00:47:00,818 --> 00:47:03,862
to cover theexpense of the gala.

815
00:47:05,447 --> 00:47:08,492
- So it's impossible?- Nothing's impossible.

816
00:47:08,575 --> 00:47:12,079
What ever happened to all thatstuff about "never give up"

817
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,748
and "a soldier is born ready"?

818
00:47:16,208 --> 00:47:18,126
- Why do I feellike I'm being taken?

819
00:47:18,168 --> 00:47:20,546
- We haven't betted anythingyet. Come on, soldier.

820
00:47:20,587 --> 00:47:23,423
Put your thinking cap on.- We have to change the culture

821
00:47:23,465 --> 00:47:26,134
and a renewed sense of pridewould improve academics,

822
00:47:26,176 --> 00:47:29,471
the perception of the communityand thus, donations.

823
00:47:29,555 --> 00:47:31,390
- Everyone loves a cause.

824
00:47:31,431 --> 00:47:34,268
- Especially oneworth fighting for.

825
00:47:37,855 --> 00:47:40,315
Change the wholeperception of the Academy

826
00:47:40,357 --> 00:47:42,234
and up goes enrollment.- I love it!

827
00:47:42,276 --> 00:47:45,070
Now the only question is whetherI can manage to raise the money

828
00:47:45,153 --> 00:47:48,407
for the gala and you canwhip the cadets into shape

829
00:47:48,407 --> 00:47:50,409
in time for a truehonours ceremony.

830
00:47:50,409 --> 00:47:53,245
- Wait, seriously?We can do both?

831
00:47:53,287 --> 00:47:57,291
We have a deal?- Sure...

832
00:47:57,332 --> 00:48:00,252
if I can sink this shot.

833
00:48:00,252 --> 00:48:04,256
- Wait! I am not stakingthe future of the Academy

834
00:48:04,298 --> 00:48:06,758
on one shot.- You expect me

835
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,429
to have faith in you.How about a little faith in me?

836
00:48:12,347 --> 00:48:15,142
- Fine. Take the shot.

837
00:48:23,442 --> 00:48:25,360
(sighing)

838
00:48:25,402 --> 00:48:27,654
Did it go in?

839
00:48:29,489 --> 00:48:32,451
- Hooyah.

840
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,457
- Well, I have to admit,I haven't been hustled like that

841
00:48:38,498 --> 00:48:41,668
in a long time, Caroline.

842
00:48:43,462 --> 00:48:44,963
What?

843
00:48:44,963 --> 00:48:48,258
- That's the first timeyou've called me Caroline.

844
00:48:49,718 --> 00:48:53,388
- Is that OK?- It's better than Dean Foster.

845
00:48:53,472 --> 00:48:55,557
Or ma'am.

846
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:57,476
- OK. Well, Caroline,

847
00:48:57,517 --> 00:49:00,354
I've been meaningto say that dinner

848
00:49:00,395 --> 00:49:02,314
the other night was fun.

849
00:49:02,439 --> 00:49:05,192
I mean, I had a good time.

850
00:49:05,233 --> 00:49:08,654
I haven't feltlike that in a while.

851
00:49:08,695 --> 00:49:11,490
- I had a nice time too.

852
00:49:11,490 --> 00:49:13,492
- Well, good, then maybewe should do it again.

853
00:49:13,533 --> 00:49:15,869
I mean, if you'reup for the idea.

854
00:49:15,911 --> 00:49:18,497
- Are you asking meout on a date?

855
00:49:18,538 --> 00:49:20,165
- I guess I am.

856
00:49:20,290 --> 00:49:24,586
I'm sorry, it's been a quartercentury since I asked a girl out

857
00:49:24,628 --> 00:49:26,213
and I'm a little rusty.

858
00:49:26,338 --> 00:49:29,132
But yes, I would likefor us to go out on a date,

859
00:49:29,174 --> 00:49:33,011
a real date,and see what happens.

860
00:49:33,011 --> 00:49:34,846
- What do you thinkis gonna happen?

861
00:49:34,846 --> 00:49:38,350
- I'm not sure, but it cannotbe more awkward thanit is right now.

862
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:41,478
- One can hope.

863
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,272
Yes, Tom.

864
00:49:44,314 --> 00:49:46,525
It's a date.- Hooah.

865
00:49:46,525 --> 00:49:49,486
- Hooyah.- No, I said simply hooah.

866
00:49:49,528 --> 00:49:52,114
- That's what I said.- No, you said "hooyah."

867
00:49:52,155 --> 00:49:53,865
Said it that way earlier too.- No, I didn't!

868

has informed you of our planto revive the honours ceremony

878
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:47,586
here at Stone Creek.

879

Formulating the planis the easy part.

880

Executing it willrequire diligence,

882
00:50:59,514 --> 00:51:02,976
And we only have a shorttime to reach our goal,

883
00:51:03,018 --> 00:51:05,020
so the Sergeant andI are going to push you

884
00:51:05,061 --> 00:51:06,897
to master some elaborate drills

885
00:51:06,938 --> 00:51:08,774

I would like to be consideredfor rank of Battalion Commander.
