1:21:01
Yes, it was.
1:21:04
Bill, come and sit down.
1:21:15
Look. Grandpa's father carried
this watch at Vicksburg.
1:21:19
Grandpa gave it to me
on my tenth birthday.
1:21:22
He had it engraved for me.
Read it.
1:21:25
I'll light a match.
1:21:29
"To William G. Smollett,
the Second,
1:21:33
who will lead men
to glory on the battlefield."
1:21:38
You must have been
terribly pleased.
1:21:41
I said, "Grandpa, don't people
hurt each other in war?"
1:21:47
You see, I was only ten.
1:21:49
He took the watch away from me.
1:21:51
But he gave it back to me again
when I entered the Academy.
1:21:54
Jane, I did my best, but I
could never make a good officer.
1:21:58
I can't lead men, and I know it.
1:22:00
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.
