Scent of a Woman1992

Mr. Trask:
One of the few perks of this office is that I am empowered to handle certain matters as I see fit. Do you understand?

Charlie Simms:
Yes, sir.

Mr. Trask:
Good. The Dean of Admissions at Harvard and I have an arrangement. Along with the usual sheaf of applicants submitted, of which virtually two-thirds are guaranteed admittance, I add one name. Somebody who's a standout. And yet, underprivileged. A student who cannot afford to pay the board and tuition in Cambridge. Do you know on whose behalf I drafted a memo this year?

Charlie:
No, sir.

Mr. Trask:
You. You, Mr. Simms. Now, can you tell me who did it?

[Charlie hesitates, visibly conflicted, then shakes his head.]

Charlie:
No, sir, I can't.

Mr. Trask:
You take the weekend to think about it, Mr. Simms. Good afternoon.
