a colonel who got blinded juggling grenades? and a boy in a school dilemma at baird. tbh I don't get why Charlie is letting go Harvard to save some rich assholes who aren't even his friends. he's looking after him for the weekend. Colonel slade is proud, scary? and makes his family uncomfortable at Thanksgiving, by talking about his nephew's wife unsatisfaction?? "fire under that dress" lmao. he never got her name right, but gets mad when his nephew calls Charlie,Chucky... you can tell that his family feels sad for him, looking at him with pity (except his nephew ig). he's charismatic and gets what he wants, tango with a pretty girl, ride in the ferrari, getting out of a ticket. that scene where he's dressed up in his uniform, with the gun in his hand is so heartbreaking. "I have no life. I'm in the dark here". I think charlie gave colonel a reason to live, also found a woman towards the end
