2nd Lieutenant Trevor LeBlanc quotes from Army Wives

Roxy

Mommy is pregnant.

Trevor

Wow. Come on. Your mom's having a baby!

TJ

[unenthusiastically] Really?

Why??

Roxy

Uh...because...we thought it would be fun for you guys to have a little baby brother or baby sister?

TJ did it.

TJ

You were there too.

I told you not to.

TJ

No you didn't!

Trevor

All your mom and I wanna know is why.

TJ

You never asked us if we wanted a new baby.

Yeah.

Trevor

[surprised] What?

Roxy

Go ahead, TJ.

TJ

You're gonna love the new baby more than us because it's really yours and we're not.

Trevor

Buddy, is that what you think?

TJ

It's true.

Trevor

No, no it's not.

It isn't?

Trevor

No.

TJ

We saw at the park playing with that baby.

Trevor

[takes a deep breath] Look, guys. Maybe I wasn't there when you were born. But for me, you two are mine and you're always gonna be mine. No matter what. Ok?

TJ

Ok

Roxy

See, it doesn't matter if somebody is your birth parent or not. All that matters is that they love you. And your dad and I love you so very much.

Trevor

And you need to know that there's a lot of love inside every person. It's just not something that gets used up and then there's no more.

Roxy

When this new baby comes, there's gonna be just so much more love in this house.

TJ

You mean like when we got Lucky?

Roxy

Yeah. Like when we got Lucky.

[notices Trevor surfing on the internet for a new car] A mini-van? Seriously? What, it's soccer mom? [chuckles]

Trevor

This is coming from a man who rides a scooter.

I told you, LeBlanc. It's a fully-stripped street bike. 450cc.

Is that it?

Trevor

What do you mean, "is that it"???

It's kinda small.

Trevor

Buddy, that's real gold. It doesn't have to be big to be good. Remember that.

TJ

[skeptical] You really think she'll like it?

Trevor

Like it? Guys, she's gonna love it.

It's a surprise, right?

Trevor

Exactly.

TJ

[sternly to Finn] So no blabbing.

I won't.

Trevor

Ok, so let's go over tomorrow's battle plan. Atten-hut! [TJ and Finn stand at attention] First we let your mom sleep in till 0800 correct?

Yes, sir!

Trevor

Then?

TJ

Breakfast in bed with cards and flowers.

Trevor

Affirmative. Then what?

FRG brunch.

Trevor

Perfect. Now I'm gonna be going away on Army business but I'll be back in time for dinner with you guys, Katie, Lucas and Mrs. Moran, ok?

TJ

And then the special present?

Trevor

Roger that.

Trevor

I love weekends! [starts kissing Roxy]

Roxy

[stops Trevor] Honey!

Trevor

[surprised] What?

Roxy

We need a new car.

Trevor

Ok, how did we go from what we just did to "we need a new car"?

Roxy

I dunno. Good sex doesn't change the fact that I have to put oil in the car every time I get gas.

Trevor

[on his laptop] [to TJ and Finn] Ok, men, commence "Operation New Car" and by that I mean new, used car.

TJ

This is cool.

Trevor

Ok, so what kind of car should we get?

TJ

I want a truck with really big wheels.

I want a purple one.

Trevor

Hmm, a purple monster truck, huh? That's interesting.

Roxy

I've known my car longer than I've known you Trevor. I've slept in it, cried in it. I almost had TJ in it. Not to mention it's where you and I first "you-know'ed" in it.

Trevor

[nods] Yeah. And I still got the scar from that broken spring to prove it

Roxy

It's just like losing an old friend, is all.

Trevor

You want me to keep it around? I could work on it when I get back.

Roxy

Um, no. I'm good.

Trevor

We're doing live fire exercises. Gotta shake off the rust.

Roxy

Wait, you all are doing live fire exercises today?

Trevor

We gotta train under combat conditions.

Roxy

Don't you think that's kinda bad luck to do that on Day 99?

Trevor

I don't think the Army worries about it when they schedule these exercises.

Roxy

Well, they should.

Trevor

Babe...[kisses Roxy] You need to relax. I promise you, no one's gonna get hurt. [leaves]

Roxy

That includes you Trevor. [Trevor grins as he walks out] I mean it!

Trevor

Babe, I am so glad this day is over.

Roxy

Yeah, so am I.

Trevor

You know, when I made Sergeant, it was to become a recruiter. I never thought about leading a team until I was told I had to deploy. But these guys, they're counting on me to bring them home. It's a huge responsibility.

Roxy

Yeah. I get that.

Trevor

I thought today was about testing my men. But you know what? It was about testing myself. [pauses, looks at Roxy] What about you? What did you decide with the whole shrimp thing?

Roxy

[smiles] I doubled my order. I figured that I couldn't lose betting on the 23rd.

Trevor

Damn straight.

Trevor

[rushes in] Hey babe, I need a favor. I ran into time at the SRPC so I need you to get my will looked over for me, ok? [hands Roxy an envelope and rushes into his room to get something]

Roxy

What? Your will?

Trevor

[from room] Yeah, I made a few notes. It's all there.

Roxy

Uh, Trevor, I do not have time.

Trevor

[rushes back out] It needs to be done today and...[kisses Roxy before dashing out the door] I gotta get back for equipment inventory and inspection. I love you...

Roxy

Yeah, but––

Trevor

I promise I'm gonna make it up to you. Promise. [closes the door]

Roxy

[annoyed] How? You're leaving!

TJ

[angrily] You said three years!

Trevor

[trying to calm TJ] And I meant to be here that long.

Roxy

But he Army needs your dad in Afghanistan right now.

Why?

Trevor

'Cause we're fighting over there.

TJ

You lied!

Trevor

We didn't lie to you, bud.

TJ

You said you got a new job. You didn't say you were deploying.

Roxy

We wanted to find the right time to tell you.

TJ

You never told us anything! [goes into his room] You think I'm just a little kid! [slams door]

Roxy

Your brother's upset, that's all.

[sadly] Dad'll miss my birthday.

Michael

[e-mailing Claudia Joy] Dear Claudia Joy, it feels like an eternity since we kissed goodbye. I've been going 24/7 since we put boots on the ground in Kandahar. Mostly my days are taken up with shuras. That's Afghan for meetings, meetings and more meetings. I swear I've never had so much tea in my life. Frank's working with our NATO counterparts, though I think the officers from France would prefer he didn't try to speak French.

Frank

[e-mailing Denise] You should hear me parle de francais, Dee. I sound just like a native. There are 42 nations in the coalition and I'm liaison with all of them. There's some cultural differences and it can get confusing, but the assignment has its perks. The Germans have beer flowing in their base camp so I might just have to ask for a tour. I sure hope that baby Molly's easing up on her jiujitsu so you can get some sleep. I've seen Jeremy. The boy's settling just fine. Try not to worry about him, Dee, though I know that's easier said than done.

[e-mailing Denise] Hey Mom. I'm sweating my butt off here. I would give anything for a shower longer than three minutes. No worries though. Sergeant LeBlanc pushes us hard but I know he wants to keep us sharp.

Trevor

[e-mailing Roxy] Hey babe, I think of you all the time. No matter what I'm doing, you and the boys are always with me. I bet Fort Marshall's a ghost town since deployment. Hope you're finding things to keep busy. That's it for now. Love you and miss you tons. Hugs to the boys for me and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Trevor

Morning, Sherwood. Nice day, huh?

Ah, yeah. Not too hot yet.

Trevor

Oh, I don't know about that. I thought I saw a lot of heat a moment ago between you and that medic.

[flustered] We––we were just talking, Sergeant.

Trevor

[smiles, sarcastically] Right. [continues] Look, we're in tough country. I need your head in the game and not in the clouds.

Understood.

Trevor

Now on the flip side, as you're both the same rank, what I can't see, I can't address.

Trevor

All right, babe. This is what we've been working on. You ready?

Roxy

Let's have it.

Pamela

[looks on in amazement] I haven't seen that move since the 80's. [Roxy continues laughing] Wow...oh my...

Trevor

[comes up to webcam, embarrassed] Oh wow. All right, we're gonna talk about this later. [switches off his webcam]

Roxy

Bye! [closes laptop]

Pamela

[laughs] That was a good way to end my shift.

Roxy

[still laughing] I am in so much trouble right now!

Trevor

Make sure you run a bore brush through that saw.

Roger, Sergeant.

Hey don't listen to that E-5, Riggs. We got a new E-6 coming in to run things.

What?

Trevor

Was that a joke?

Promotion list just came down. Your name was on it. Believe that, "Staff Sergeant LeBlanc". What's this Army coming to?

Congratulations, Sergeant!

About time they paid you for what you're doing anyway.
