Jeremy quotes from Army Wives

[attempting to ask Tanya out] Can I buy you a cup of terrible coffee?

Amanda

Look everybody, it's Jeremy Sherwood -- How are you?

Great -- Uh -- Amanda, you look great!

Amanda

So do you.

So, when did you get home?

Amanda

About 90 minutes after I got arrested.

Arrested?

Amanda

I take it you haven't been watching the news?

I hate that show, it's too depressing.

Frank

You want a beer?

Absolutely.

Denise

Frank, he's underaged

Frank

Oh hell. If a man's old enough to go to war, he's old enough to have a beer in his own damn house.

Thought you were deploying with the 23rd Sustainment.

Trevor

Uh..I was, but––

Chase

He's decided to command a desk instead. [to Jeremy] How are you doing?

Sergeant Moran, what happened to you?

Trevor

He tripped up over his own ego. It's kinda hard to avoid.

Chase

Had a little helicopter mishap. We all walked away.

It's always good. [to Trevor] So, uh, you're working at a desk?

Trevor

I'm a recruiter. Got my stripes, decided to stay stateside for a while. Encourage more studs like you to sign up.

That makes sense.

Chase

Don't think about hitting on that road, Sherwood. You wanna be where the action is, not pushing paper like this slacker. [looks at Trevor]

Trevor

Watch it or I'll tip over your crutches. [jokingly threatens to push his crutches]

Chase

You can try, buddy.

Trevor

[cellphone rings] I gotta take this. We'll compare scars later again.

Frank

Live fire exercises before my second tour. Some numbskull pulls a pin of out of a grenade and then manages to throw the thing behind him.

You're kidding!

Frank

Don't know how he did it. It's a miracle nobody was hurt. Turns out the thing rolled into a hole before it exploded. If it hadn't done that then, well, who knows what would've happened. Point is, some days you get lucky.

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.

Tanya

So you did this how?

The game was tied. Time runnin' out. Giron takes off on a post pattern...

Tanya

[unamused] Playing football. Life and death.

It was against the Air Force!

Tanya

[feels SPC Giron's shoulder] Way to go, soldier. You've dislocated your shoulder. [looks at Jeremy] Happy?

I held onto the ball.

Only because I put it right between the numbers.

Tanya

I can reduce the dislocation right now. I'll give you something for the pain first.

No, just do it.

Tanya

You sure?

Yeah, I could take it.

Tanya

Ok, tough guy. On three. One... [pops Giron's shoulder back in place, Giron cringes]

Tanya

[deadpan] Your government thanks you for taking yourself out of action for blatant stupidity. [leaves]

She wants me.

[grins] Right.

Tanya

Take guys like you. You're goofing off playing football one day and you're on my table the next. Your leg's blown off, face is burnt, bleeding out...

You do what you can. That's all any of us can do.

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.

Frank

[startled] What is it?

[panting] Mom's having the baby. Now.

Frank

What? How do you know?

I called her to tell her I was getting married and her water broke while I was on the phone.

Frank

Oh, good lord. I gotta go to the teleconference room.

[tosses Frank's patrol cap to him] Dad, cover!

Frank

[pokes head back out] You're gettin' married???

Tanya

[on the phone with Jeremy] She didn't like me.

Come on. I'm sure that's not true

Denise

[on the phone with Frank] I just don't like her.

Frank

Why, baby? What happened??

Tanya

Everything I said came out wrong. It was like an out-of-body experience. I wanted to yell at myself, "stop talking!"

[chuckles] You were just nervous, that's all. My mom will understand.

Denise

I don't understand. Why the rush? They hardly know each other. And they're so young! They're practically babies!

Frank

[tries to reassure her] Dee, they are hardly babies! They've been to war, seen combat.

Tanya

You'd think after living in war zone I'd be able to face anything, but no! Apparently mothers-in-law scare the crap out of me.
