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

- What's that, sir?

:11:57
Burglarproof, foolproof, weatherproof.

:12:11
But your honour is your own, inviolate.
:12:15
So, then. To honour.
:12:18
- To honour.
- To honour.

:12:25
Well, drink up. We have things to do.

Bunker Hill is rich in ceremony,
:12:31
but this is an occasion
I always like to keep rather private,

:12:35
when I say goodbye to one major
and appoint another in his place.

:12:40
The cadet major
is outranked militarily only by me,

:12:44
so that makes it a position
of some responsibility.

:12:46
- You'll attest to that, won't you, Cooper?
- I'm afraid I can.

:12:50
Captain Moreland, like your predecessor
:12:53
you've distinguished yourself for a number
of years here as an underclassman.

:12:57
And in recognition
of your scholarship and leadership,
