Gresham, Oregon. Attending Baird School on student aid made Charles Simms the butt of teasing among the rich kids. Charlie truly deserved to be at Baird because he'd earned it, the rich kids' fathers were former students and therefore made sure their sons attended their Alma Mater. The last thing on these boys' minds was studying. Their parents indulged them with anything they desired. They had no appreciation for Baird. It was expected that they attend an ivy league school.
The Young American Merit Scholarship. Charlie appreciated the scholarship and did his best at school. What he never realized, until he later made the acquaintance of Lt. Col. Frank Slade, was that the qualities that he possessed and never considered worth very much, were priceless and could not be taught at Baird or any other school.
a Jaguar. The Headmaster took his position at Baird very seriously. He kept his nose to the grindstone on all school issues, as the Board was always watching him and the donations from the alumni whose sons now attended Baird, kept coming in. His goal was to keep it that way, even if it meant "schmoozing" the wealthy former students of his beloved Baird.
an ad for a job for Thanksgiving weekend. Although his schoolmates were all planning trips for the holiday weekend that their wealthy fathers were paying for and they asked Charlie if he wanted to join them knowing he was on aid, Charlie accepted his financial position as gracefully as he could and went forward with his decision to work for Thanksgiving weekend. He wanted to earn his plane fare home for Christmas.
their friends rigging a practical joke on the streetlight.. Charlie and George saw three of their schoolmates, George's friends, rigging an exploding balloon on the streetlight above the parking lot. Suddenly a female teacher walked by, who George distracted so she would not notice the deed being done. The next day, when the joke came to pass and the headmaster got soaked as a result, the female teacher came forward and Charle Simms and George Willis were identified as witnesses and therefore called into Headmaster Trask's office. When Trask's questions bore no fruit, he sent Willis out of the room in order to question Charlie alone.
| Trask then made Charlie understand that it was up to him, Trask, to recommend one single student who was on student aid to be granted a scholarship to college and that Trask had submitted Charlie's name. What was the name of the college? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man
|
Harvard. Charlie understood that he was being blackmailed by Trask in order to give the names of the other students involved in the practical joke. When he left and met George outside, George said the Headmaster was playing "good cop, bad cop" with them. He said that it was the general attitude of the boys to stick together and never leave anyone "twisting in the wind". The Headmaster gave them Thanksgiving weekend to "think it over". When they returned, there would be a hearing of the student council and at that time, if they did not come forward with names... they would both be expelled.
| George's father was an alumnus of the school and a huge contributor, but George told Charlie that they "would not tell their parents about this" and for Charlie to give him a call over the holiday weekend so they could discuss this further. Where was Charlie supposed to call George? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man

Stowe, Vermont. Charlie went on his job interview with a queasy feeling. He was concerned about Headmaster Trask as he knew that Baird was his future. Though he did not want it to end, he would not compromise his principles by snitching on the others.
babysitting a blind senior citizen.. Mrs. Rossi, a niece of Col. Frank Slade, placed an ad for someone to look after her blind uncle who lived in her guest house out back. Her and her husband wanted to go to Albany for the weekend. Charlie got the job; no one else showed up! Charlie's meeting with the Col. was not an easy one. Slade was furious that his niece wanted a babysitter for him. He had big plans! His initial reaction to Charlie was to degrade him, which Charlie handled wonderfully. Well, it looked like he would have to have company on his journey.
the Flintstones. Slade resented being blind. Most of all he resented the reasons he had become blind, the foolishness of youth, carelessness. He had become cynical and bitter. Not believing in any quality being left in people or in the world. Now here was this little "snaildart from the Pacific Northwest" standing in front of him! Oh boy, well, he would have to deal with it!
Freak show central...New York City. Charlie was nervous about going away. He was not expecting it and was not at all prepared. But he realized they were definitely going, as Slade barked orders to Charlie on packing his bags.
when Charlie first grabbed is arm in his house. Col. Slade felt that it was he who should grab Charlie's arm, never vice versa. His self-esteem was as fragile as glass and he was very rough around the edges. Not at all the type that Charlie was used to.
Daphne. This is when Slade began to open up to Charlie Simms. He began to share his feelings about his favorite subject... women. As the Colonel spoke of one of his favorite subjects, his eyes brightened and it made Charlie smile and realize that Col. Slade really liked women!
The Waldorf Astoria. Slade had stayed at that hotel back in the days when he was on Lyndon Johnson's staff.
hysterical. Slade escorted Donna to the dance floor and danced the Tango with her. Much to the pleasure of those who looked on. Though afraid of "making a mistake", Donna was charmed and pleased at how wonderful a dancer Slade was. Slade informed her that if you make a mistake in the tango and "get tangled up, just tango on".
to his brother Willie's house. Moving along with Slade's plan, he wanted to see his older brother Willie, once more. When they showed up on the front steps and his nephew Randy answered the door, there was an unwelcome feeling, but it was Thanksgiving.

| On the morning of the infamous test drive in the Ferrari, when Col. Slade lied in bed depressed, Charlie told him that George Willis decided to go home and speak to his father "about helping us". What did Col. Slade advise him to watch out for? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man
|
the "us" part. Col. Slade began to realize just what Charlie was made of. The kind of dignity this young man had. He felt that this boy was going to be crushed by the ways of the world for his innocence.
| When Col. Slade was test driving the Ferrari, with Charlie in the passenger seat, they were stopped by a police office for speeding, what was the officer's name? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man
|
Police Officer Gore. The Col. was thrilled driving the Ferrari. Charlie was petrified as they sped through the back streets. How this officer did not pick up on the fact that Col. Slade was driving blind, is difficult to comprehend!
17E. The Col. asked Charlie how he looked before he went up to see the prostitute and Charlie smiled. He was glad for the Col. who was all dressed up and smelling of Bay Rum. Charlie felt the Col. deserved to be happy, if even for a short while. While he waited in the car he called George Willis who told him he was going home and that he wanted his father's help, contrary to what he told Charlie before he left, because Trask was "out of control" about this! Charlie hung up feeling desolate. But... not losing his resolve.
| When they got back to the hotel room, after the Ferrari test drive, the Col. was acting strange. He asked Charlie to go out and buy him a cigar.

shoot himself. Charlie was paralyzed with fear as he watched Col. Slade, in full army uniform, loading his gun. Charlie asked the Col. to give him the gun, but he refused.

| When the Col. was holding Charlie and threatening to shoot them both, screaming that he had "no life" that he was "in the dark", what were the two reasons that Charlie told Col. Slade that he had to live for and that he did better than anyone else he'd ever seen? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man
|
dance the tango; drive a Ferrari. Upon hearing that, the Col. suddenly lost his urge to die. He looked on in this boy's direction and realized how deeply this young inexperienced boy from the Pacific Northwest was able to feel another's pain; how much compassion and understanding he possessed. He didn't tell Charlie, but he knew...
