Roxy LeBlanc quotes from Army Wives

Roxy

Give me everything you've got baby doll or you're gonna be looking at me from the floor.

Roxy

[complaining to Trevor about having to work on her birthday] Skanky cranky people who make you work on your birthday, they do too fire you.

Roxy

My favorite designer is the Goodwill.

Roxy

I can be jealous, but I'm working on it. I can be outspoken, but I'm really not working on that. I haven't read many books, not really the best speller. I don't want any more kids, at least not now, but I'm with you. I love to practice.

Roxy

Fastest way to a man's zipper; tight jeans, new haircut.

Roxy

So, you still think having your own microphone to tell the world off is a bad thing?

Roxy

I wasn't gonna say anything but only a party doesn't really do Betty justice. The week leading up to my husband's deployment was pretty rough for me and everyone tried to help but no one really could. But Betty had me talk about all the horrible things I thought might happen, had me lay my fears on the table, and I cried my eyes out. And then she told me to go home and see Trevor alive and in one piece and asleep in our bed. And I just loved her for giving that to me. Because from then on I'd know what it was like when someone you love comes home safe and sound like most do. But tonight, I know what it feels like when someone you love does not come home.

Roxy

[after Trevor explains the war games to her and shows her his equipment] So you're gonna be gone for two days playing laser tag?

Roxy

I thought talking about Delta was like double-secret-probation or something.

Roxy

Men have shorter memories. It's a fact.

Roxy

[catches a guy staring at Denise, who is obviously pregnant] Dude. She is not available. Is that not obvious to you?

Roxy

[to Cody] You know what? I've got a friend whose son died in Afghanistan. She'd give anything to have him back here, no matter what shape he was in. And I guarantee you he would not be sitting here feeling sorry for himself. He'd be living everyday.

Pamela

Sit next to the Anti-Christ, going to Hell by association.

Roxy

Oh, I reckon I got you beat on the Hell front.

Pamela

Last week I was a drug dealer. This week I'm carrying the chaplain's kids. You think you can top that?

Roxy

I can try. My kids aren't my husband's. I was married to the first one's daddy till he sucker-punched me. The second one was just a friend who came over to "comfort" me one night. I've known Trevor, my husband, for all of 17 days now. How'd I do.

Pamela

[smiles] I'm impressed.

Pamela

I know it's a lot, Roxy, but you gotta harden yourself. You gotta keep it together for your husband.

Roxy

I'm trying. I guess I just thought marrying a soldier would be romantic. But instead, it's about worrying whether he's coming back.

Pamela

Well, he can't go to war worrying about you. He could die from that kind of distraction.

Trevor

Hey, I know this is tough for you but I'm coming home.

Roxy

How can you know that? How can anyone know that?

Trevor

I just know. I do.

Roxy

Look, I get it, ok? I hit the jackpot here. I mean, most men put on the skates when they hear I got kids. But you married me. And here we are a blink later and you wanna adopt my boys and you want me to read your will and...it's not "just in case". It's because you could die. Trevor, it's because you could die. [kisses Trevor and walks out of the bathroom]

Trevor

Roxy. [Roxy stops and looks at him] I was adopted. And not till I was seven. Until then it was just foster care. I don't want to adopt your boys because I'm afraid I'm gonna die. I want to adopt them because I want them to know what it feels like to have someone really want them. It's like I said, I'm coming home.
