| Where was Charlie (Charles) Simms from? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
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.

When he got back to the suite and walked into the Col.'s bedroom what was the Col. getting prepared to do? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
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.

"If you're smart you won't try that again. This bat's got better radar than the Nautilis.". Charlie was beginning to see the depth of this man. His own experinces in life, up to that point, were meager. Little did he know that his time with this man, would teach him lessons he could never learn from a book.
| 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 (yettom) |
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...
| When the bellboy arrived in their suite at the Waldorf, what was the first thing the Colonel asked him about? | "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On! (yettom) |
the escort scene. Charlie remarked that the Colonel had a one-track mind...women. The Colonel then said his second favorite thing in the world was a Ferrari.

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".
| When Randy was disrespectful to Slade at the dinner table and Slade jumped up and grabbed him. What type of hold did he use? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |

| When Manny arranged the rendezvous with the prostitute for Col. Slade, what was her apartment number? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
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 did Col. Slade threaten to kill Charlie ? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
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.
| 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 (yettom) |
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!
| When Col. Slade sat beside Charlie at Assembly where the case was being heard, he stood up to make his points known. He said he always knew the right thing to do, he just never did it. Why? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
because it was too hard. Col. Slade addressed everyone at this meeting. As he entered, he had heard Baird being called a "cradle of leadership". This school was supposed to prepare these boys for manhood. Prepare them to be leaders and Charlie had what leaders should have and that was Integrity. Let him go on... don't punish him because he would not come forward and snitch on his classmates just to save his own neck.
| When Col. Slade realized his niece and her family had not yet left for their trip to Albany, what was the t.v. family he compared them to? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
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!
| When Charlie finally found the job ad, what was it for? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
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.
| When Charlie asked Col. Slade if they were going somewhere, where did he say they were off to? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |

| When Charlie and the Colonel took their First Class seats on the plane from Logan to NY, they were served by a stewardess named Daphne. What was the name of the cologne that the Colonel noticed Daphne wearing? | "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On! (yettom) |
Floris. Charlie was getting to know the Colonel. He had heard that at times, when a person was blind, their other senses became extra sensitive. However, he was shocked when the Col. guessed the fragrance that Daphne was wearing. Many more surprises were to come during this unique holiday weekend in NY, that perhaps would teach young Charlie more than he could ever learn while attending Baird.
| When Charlie and Col. Slade entered their suite at the Waldorf, the Colonel requested that Charlie check the bar and make sure it was filled with his favorite liquor. What was it? | "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On! (yettom) |
John Daniels (Jack Daniels). Charlie was in awe of the Waldorf and was beginning to be in awe of the Colonel. He also noticed the Colonel's fondness for drinking. He wondered where this blind retired officer got the money to pay for all this.

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.
| What was the name of the dance that Al Pacino and the girl in the restaurant danced to? | Scent Of A Woman (LAURMAR) |
Tango. This was one of my favorite parts!
| What was the English name of the fragrance Ms. Downes was wearing? | "Scent of a Woman".....Image of a Man (yettom) |
Flowers from a Brook. When Ms. Downes approached them to compliment the Col. on his speech, you realized that the Colonel's life was about to change... if not with her, then someone else. Charlie Simms had opened his heart.
| What was the character name of Chris O'Donnell? | Scent Of A Woman (LAURMAR) |
| What was Randy's job at Snow Flake Sugar? | "Scent Of A Woman"....Tango On! (yettom) |
Vice President in charge of Marketing. Colonel Slade was never known to respect anyone with a 9 to 5 corporate job. His sarcasm was obvious, when he asked his nephew about his job in the corporate world. Randy was very resentful that his uncle gave up a very promising Army career because of foolishness. He made this known in a very disrespectful way. Charlie tried to smooth this over. He was embarrassed for Colonel Slade.
