[Cindy has just completed the ladder climb to the tower & reached the bottom in under the allotted time. Capt. Bukowski shows the results to Chief Thompson]

B.C. Thompson:
[addressing the recruits] As you all know, candidates who fail any part of the agility test are dismissed for the rest of the day's proceedings. Captain Bukowski will give you the results in a minute. But today, we're going to bend the rules a little bit. I wanted you all to be around & share in this moment. In Los Angeles County Fire Department's 60-year history, no woman has ever passed the agility test...

[Long silence, then a smile spreads across the Chief's face]

B.C. Thompson:
...until today!

[the recruits and Cindy break out in cheers as the chief & Capt. Bukowski shake Cindy's hand]
