Gloria[unamused] You're hilarious.
Gloria
I don't know. What are you making?
Gloria
You got two hands. What'cha do before you married me?
Gloria
[smiles] We're having chicken.
[smiles] Get over here. [pulls Gloria over for a hug]
[They kiss before Gloria pushes him off]
Gloria
Oh! Hector! You stink!!
Gloria
That is so nasty! Go take a shower and take this crap with you! [points to his rucksack]
[laughs] All right, all right, tranquilla.
Gloria
[seriously] Don't tranquilla me. Did you tell your boss we were having problems?
Gloria
He sent his wife here to check in on me.
Mrs. LeBlanc was here? What did she say?
Gloria
Nothing. I didn't let her in.
[shocked] You're joking, right? [Gloria says nothing] Lieutenant LeBlanc is my platoon leader!
Gloria
Well, I don't need his wife sticking her nose in our business!
[Gloria walks into The Hump Bar and sees Roxy behind the counter]
Gloria
You? What are you doing here?
I own the place. [smiles] What are you doing here?
Gloria
Had to get out of the apartment.
Beer? First one's on the house. It's my door-in-the-face special.
Gloria
Thanks.
So, you've been married less than a month.
Gloria
Yeah
Gloria
Online.
[looks at Gloria] You're kidding.
Gloria
I was tired of living at home with my brothers and sisters. I saw this home movie An Officer and a Gentleman, you know?
[grins] Yeah, I know. Very romantic.
Gloria
Right? So I started looking on these military dating sites. There he was in uniform, looking hot.
Gloria
Chatted online, went dancing when he came into the city. He opened the taxi door for me. [smiles wistfully] I'll never forget that. On our second date he proposed. [looks at Roxy] Stupid, right?
Well, I met Trevor when I was bartending. Four days later, he proposed.
Gloria
Yeah?
Uh-hmm. It's worked out so far.
MMaryanne
Look, I feel bad, don't get me wrong. But I don't think we should be going overboard.
MMaryanne
Min-Ji did this to herself. I don't know why we should be honoring her exactly. [Gloria looks at her in disgust]
I can't believe that you'd say that. What is wrong with you? Min-Ji was part of this group.
Gloria
Maybe that's because some people wouldn't let her be part of it
RRita
Hey, don't blame us!
GGisela
Shame on you! How dare you sit there and judge. Do you what it takes to marry a soldier and leave your country behind? Your family? Do you have any idea what it feels like to be different? I do. I know how cruel people can be. I still hear the jokes, the whispers. I know the difference just what friends can make. Were we too busy, too special to reach out to Min-Ji? We should all should feel ashamed. She needed help and we weren't there for her. Tomorrow I could be the one who needs help, or maybe it could be you.
[Roxy and Gloria are getting ready for their husbands' return]
This won't be like the usual homecoming. Normally we have a big blow-out with music and food and banners and all that stuff. But we couldn't do that on such short notice.
Gloria
Hey, as long as they're coming home, I'm happy. Thanks for giving me a ride to the pick-up spot
No problem. Actually, it's assembly point, not "pick-up spot".
Gloria
[laughs] Whatever!
[Gloria sprays perfume on herself, Roxy looks at her]
Gloria
Makes Hector go wild.
Really? Can I smell it? [smells bottle] Do you mind?
Gloria
Go for it!
Gloria
Hey Roxy.
Wow. Someone's been busy.
Gloria
Yeah, Hector and I had a little fun at the mall.
Gloria
It's not that much. Couple of tops, some jeans. Yeah, got something to show you. [takes out a stiletto shoe] What do you think of these?
Gloria
Yeah, you don't think they're too much?
Are we talking money or style?
Gloria
Style.
Gloria
That's what I thought. I got Hector a little present too.
[Gloria takes out a pink lingerie top]
I don't think that will fit him.
Gloria
Come on, I've got something else to show you.
[Gloria takes Roxy outside. Camera shot reveals Hector and a red Ram Pickup.]
Gloria
We got a great deal on it.
[excitedly] Ok, baby. It's time for your next lesson.
Gloria
Hector's teaching me to drive.
[surprised] You don't know how??
Gloria
Hey, in The Bronx you take the subway. See you later!
[Roxy cringes as the Ferrari (with Gloria driving) stutters and veers off to the main road.]
SSoldier
[comes up to Gloria] Hey honey. Where's our beers?
Gloria
Are you talkin to me? 'Cause I could tell what you could do with your beers if you don't take that meat hook off me, honey.
SSoldier
[embarrassed, takes hand off Gloria's shoulder] Sorry.
Gloria
Now be a good boy and go sit down. I'll bring you your beers.
SSoldier
Yes ma'am. [leaves]
Gloria
I feel sick about those kids
Yeah. Me too. That woman has a lot of nerve blaming our guys for what happened.
Gloria
Hector says it was messed up.
Gloria
Nothing. He just says they could've done more, that's all. Your husband told him to forget about it, there was nothing they could do.
Yeah, well, he was right. Look, they're soldiers. They have to follow orders. And if Trevor said it was the right call, it was the right call.
Gloria
Yeah I know. I just feel sick about it, that's all.
[Roxy and Gloria bring Jackie, who is drunk, back to her house]
[points at house] That's my house.
That's right! We just need to get you inside.
Gloria
Ok
[Jackie vomits on the ground right then and there while a bemused Roxy and Gloria look on and grimace.]
It's ok. Denise said that's a good sign. It gets it out of her system.
[Jackie vomits again]
Gloria
So I guess that's a really good sign huh?
Gloria
What do I tell him?
Ahh...I wouldn't lie, but don't tell him the truth.
Gloria
[confused] What does that mean?
[Gloria and Roxy head over to join their husbands]
[concerned] Gloria! Where've you been?
Gloria
Didn't they tell you? I...I had to go on an errand.
Yeah, what kind of errand?
Gloria
Uhh....babysitting General Clarke's wife.
[Hector gives her a strange look and laughs]
Gloria
[laughs nervously] I thought you'd like that. Uh, it was nothing. FRG business.
[nods, offers her the wine bottle] Want some wine?
Gloria
You know what? [puts hand on her wine glass] I think I'll pass.
I was hoping it would work out. But you two were so young and you barely knew each other when you got married.
Gloria
Yeah, but neither did you and Trevor.
Well, we were older, more experienced anyway. I already had one marriage and two kids and Trevor had been in the Army for a while.
Gloria
True.
Hey, you make a mistake. You learn from it. Then you move on. In the meantime, you've got your work and you've got your friends.
Gloria
Look, about that. I know you've been counting on me to look after The Hump and all but...
[Baby starts crying over the baby monitor]
[from upstairs] I got it!
Gloria
Please don't hate me, Roxy
Gloria
I want to go back to New York
Gloria
I don't know. Forever, maybe? I really miss my family.
Don't even think about it.
Gloria
Really?
Gloria
What about you? And the bar and the babies?
[smiles] You know what, we'll figure it out.
