2nd Lieutenant Trevor LeBlanc quotes from Army Wives

Roxy

[excitedly] I know you've only got a minute so, how are you? Are you ok? Are you alive? Are you hurt in anyway at all?

Trevor

I'm good. Yes, yes, no.

Trevor

How about everybody else? They're doing all right?

Roxy

They're getting there.

Trevor

And Betty? That old bat make it through?

Betty

[walks out to the kitchen, deadpan] Bat's right here!

Trevor

[embarrassed] Oh...

Roxy

Oh, guess what? Finn's in love!

Trevor

With Betty???

Roxy

No.

Mrs. Holden

Roxy

As in Claudia Joy Holden!

Trevor

Listen.

Roxy

What?

Trevor

It's quiet. I never thought I'd miss that.

Betty

[walks in from kitchen] Welcome home, superhero.

Trevor

Hello, Betty.

Betty

[deadpan] Where's the cake?

Roxy

Would you give him a minute before you start with the wisecracks?!

Trevor

It's fine. I like that someone has a sense of humor about this whole thing. [Betty turns on the TV] Ugh...goodbye quiet.

Trevor

So when did Pamela drop off the kids?

Roxy

Last night. It was their idea. They wanted to be here when you got home. Didn't want to miss a minute.

Trevor

[amused] You left them alone with Betty? Are you crazy?

Roxy

[laughs] What! They're survivors. I'm sure they found a great place to hide.

Betty

How's the shoulder?

Trevor

It's ok. How's the cancer?

Betty

Sucks. [deadpan] Wanna trade?

Trevor

[shakes head] No.

Betty

Well, at least you got to take out your enemy. Damn cancer's a sneaky bastard. [points fingers at a mock target] I wish I could just line it up in the crosshairs and drop the son of a bitch. [pretends to shoot]

Trevor

[sighs] Yeah, don't be so sure.

Betty

[pauses] Must be tough to actually shoot somebody.

Trevor

I know what I did was right but all the attention...I don't know, it just feels wrong somehow. I killed a man. Why would I celebrate that?

Trevor

Hey, so, this guy here is from our motorpool. He can fix anything. Right Charlie?

Charlie

I'll admit that.

Roxy

Thank you, it's right through those doors.

And I'm here to make sure he works on it till it passes. Got your COO right here.

Roxy

[in amazement] How did you do that???

Trevor

It's the Army, babe. We take care of our own.

Roxy

Yeah, but the inspector??

Trevor

Former paratrooper.

Roxy

[heaves a huge sigh of relief] Thank you Army. I will never doubt you again!

Sandy

Well, well. Didn't know you were a maitre d' too.

Trevor

I figured that as long as I'm here I might as well help out a bit.

Sandy

That's too bad. We could use some eye candy around here.

Trevor

[to Roxy] Hey babe, that new waitress of yours, she's pretty flirty.

Roxy

She's not flirty. She's being smart. With what this job pays you, you gotta use what God gave you to get the big tips.

Sandy

It's kinda cozy in here, dontcha think?

Trevor

[looks at Sandy in disbelief] Are you serious?

Sandy

I'm just sayin'. A person can get in a lot of trouble here ya know. If they wanted to.

Trevor

[backs away from Sandy] All right. [seriously] As weird as this sounds, I'm actually in love with my wife so...just...watch it.

Sandy

[chuckles] Nothing is gonna happen. [goes up to Trevor] Unless you want it to.

Roxy

Hey! I think he just said he doesn't want it to. 'Cause I got that department covered just fine, thank you.

Sandy

Roxy, I...I was just––

Roxy

[deadpan] Leaving. That's what you were just doing. You're fired. [Trevor looks on in bemusement] And unless you want this jar of mayo on your head, I'd leave right now.

Trevor

[laughs] Babe! That was so hot!

Roxy

Thank you! [Trevor kisses her]

Trevor

How's the colonel feeling?

Roland

Great. I think she's making up for all the sleep she lost over her entire career.

Roland

[about the death gratuity] I remember signing those papers. But the thought of Joan being killed in combat, I just pushed it out of my mind.

Trevor

Seems like a soldier's worth more dead than alive.

Trevor

Three months ago, I'm patrolling enemy territory in Iraq with Dalton. Now he's dead. And I spend all day filing things, making sure everything's all lined up. A, B, C, D...

Roxy

What?

Trevor

I'm an admin clerk, babe. [sarcastically] Thought I'd make you proud.

Hurry up, Daddy.

Trevor

You look all grown up.

TJ

I wish we had uniforms for the Silver Star ceremony.

Trevor

No. [kneels down to straighten out their shirts and ties] I like you guys just the way you are.

TJ

We wanna be like you.

Trevor

You do?

TJ

Most of the time.

Trevor

Not all the time?

Almost.

Trevor

So when are the times when you don't want to be like me?

Cranky times.

TJ

When you yell at Mommy.

And throw stuff.

Trevor

[sits on bed, the boys back off] Come here. Come over here, I'm not going to bite you. Come on.

Trevor

I promise you, no more cranky times.

No more yelling?

Trevor

No more yelling. Just kissing. Lots and lots of kissing.

Trevor

I only knew my wife a couple of weeks before I married her. A lot of people would call that irresponsible but I just knew. I knew she was the one.

Roxy

I made one impulsive choice after another because that's all I saw the people around me do. But for some reason, choosing Trevor was the right thing. It led me to sanity and I can't forget that. I can't run away at the first sign of trouble but I also can't deny what's all around me either. I owe it to him and to our children... [fades off]

Trevor

It's like, it's like there's something bigger, you know, like this small voice that we can barely hear trying to tell us what we need to do.

Roxy

The truth is in the middle, in the quiet.

Trevor

You just have to listen.

Roxy

I'm learning to be still.

Trevor

Thanks for letting me share.

Roxy

Thank you for letting me share.

Marda

I'm not drinking now. The past is over.

Roxy

[sarcastically] For you, maybe.

Hey, we didn't come here to fight.

Trevor

Jerry's right. Maybe we should all just take a deep breath and not say something we're gonna regret.

Roxy

Are you talking to me or to her, Trevor?

Trevor

Baby, I'm just trying to keep the peace, ok?

Trevor

That was an adventure.

Roxy

You didn't seem to mind her too much.

Trevor

[chuckles] Oh please. Don't be ridiculous.

Roxy

Why are you always defending her?

Trevor

[looks at Roxy] I'm not. [Roxy is silent] Look, Rox, I know Marda isn't perfect.

Roxy

Yeah. By a long shot.

Trevor

Ok, by a long shot. But at least you've got a mother who loves you and is trying to make things better. You don't know what I'd give to know who my real mother was.

Roland

Oh damn it. [looks at Sara Elizabeth] I didn't say that. I didn't say that... [picks up phone to call Joan]

Joan

[hands Trevor a cooler] My house. Fast.

Trevor

Yes ma'am.

Joan

If anyone asks, you're going on a picnic.

Roland

[opens door, relieved to see Trevor] Thought you'd never get here.

Trevor

Sorry, had to wait for that hand-off.

Roland

Yeah pumping can take a lot longer than you might think.

Trevor

Try not to think about it.

Trevor

So did this guy say what he expected us to do with...[points at urn]...Betty?

Roxy

Nope. He just walked in and dropped her off. You know, maybe we should spread Betty's ashes over the ocean. She always loved the water.

Trevor

Or a brewery. She always loved her beer too.

Roxy

Trevor.

Trevor

[laughs] Come on, you know if those ashes could speak, Betty would agree with me.

Roxy

All these people are leaving our lives, you know.

Trevor

That's why I've been thinking about a baby.

Roxy

[looks at Trevor] We will have our kid. Honestly, I'd think about it now if things weren't so hectic at work.

Trevor

It's just that with my shoulder better and knowing that I'm redeploying...I think about things.

Roxy

What things?

Trevor

Well, if something were ever to happen to me.

Roxy

Trevor...

Trevor

I know it sounds crazy but I would hate it if there was never a little boy or girl running around that people would stop and go, hey look there's Roxy and Trevor's kid and he's got our eyes.

Roxy

First of all, nothing is gonna happen to you. Second of all, we will have our baby. Just not right now. And I really hope he or she has your eyes.
