It’s not just the brief gesture seen in this snippet. It’s carefully crafted interactions lasting several days to build up to a moment, and a memory, with lasting impact. It’s a good example of both conscious mentoring... and parenting.

Aaron Sorkin is the master of knowing how to tap into human emotions with his screenplay !!! One of the many best scenes in this series. Along with Ms.Landhingam's " My boys !! " scene !!!
