Quote from Tim in The Colonel
Jill: I thought this was gonna be more of a story, but there's nothing in there but tactics and military strategy. What are we going to tell him? Tim: Tell him the truth. Jill: Oh, sure. You know my dad. He hears bad news, he hits the roof, then he sulks, then he doesn't wanna talk about it anymore, and then the whole thing remains unresolved. Tim: He can take it. He's a tough guy. He gives shrapnel as gifts.
