Quotes 

• Charlie Hinton : Let me tell you a little something about being tough, OK? Being tough doesn't necessarily make you a hero. Sometimes, tough people grow up to be arrogant and selfish and-and *stubborn*! You guys just need to be yourselves, all right? And know that by being yourselves, you're gonna be winners, no matter what.

  Billy : Even if we choke like you?

  Charlie Hinton : [points]  *Especially* if you choke like me!

  [Billy grins] 

  Charlie Hinton : Look, I just want you guys to grow up to be kind and caring and excepting of people, even if they make mistakes.

• [Buck is missing; Charlie and the kids are doing stretches; Phil approaches] 

  Phil : No news yet on Buck. I have Margaret driving all over town, but I *did* find this in your office.

  [hands Charlie a note] 

  Charlie Hinton : Oh. "Charlie, Uncle Sam called about another job, which is just as well, seeing as things aren't working out here, your tough Colonel Buck."

  Phil : I'll keep looking.

  [leaves] 

  Charlie Hinton : OK.

  Juliette : [sees the note]  Is that from Grandpa?

  Charlie Hinton : [turns to face the kids]  Uh, yes. Yes, it is.

  Carl : He's not coming back?

  Charlie Hinton : Well, no.

  Max : He's the one that showed us how to do *everything*!

  Billy : Yeah! We're gonna get whooped, and *I* don't get whooped! I *do* the whooping!

  Becca : We're doomed! *Doomed*, I tell you!

  Charlie Hinton : Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute, all right? Just because Buck got called away to serve his country in the middle of the night doesn't mean we just take everything he taught us and just let it go to waste.

  Juliette : He deserted us.

  Robert : Without so much as a "see ya."

  Charlie Hinton : No. No, no, no, no, no. He didn't. No-ho, it's here in the letter, listen. Listen. "Dear Ben, Max, Juliette, Robert, Carl, Jack, uh, Becca, Billy and Mullet. I'm sorry to leave in the middle of the night..."

  [motions to Robert] 

  Charlie Hinton : "... without even saying see ya..."

  [Robert nods] 

  Charlie Hinton : "... but it's important that you don't panic. The 103rd Airborne is staging manoeuvres tonight, and-- Well, let's just say they could learn a thing or two about teamwork from you guys."

  Becca : The 103rd was retired after World War Two.

  Charlie Hinton : Tell you what? They're bringing it back.

  Jack : We can't do this without Buck.

  Juliette , Carl , Max , Billy , Becca , Robert , Ben : Yeah.

  Charlie Hinton : Sure we can. And you know what? He would've *wanted* it that way. You know why? Because we're a family. And we're gonna pull each other up, because that's what families do.

  Ben : Well, if family's so important, why'd Grandpa Buck leave?

  Juliette , Carl , Max , Billy , Becca , Robert , Jack : Yeah.

  [Charlie's smile fades; shaking their heads, the disappointed kids skalk off]
