Ski quotes from Army Wives

Sir, you're doing an outstanding job as LT.

Trevor

Thank you.

Ski

You're also doing a heck of a job as Sergeant. Corrective action is not your line sir.

Trevor

I guess I'm still thinking like a Sergeant.

Ski

Understandable. Seen it before in mustangs like you. But you've got to let your NCOs lead. I promise we'll get your men mission-ready.

Trevor

I appreciate the heads up. Any other suggestions?

Ski

One or two.

Roxy

[horrified] You wanna throw a barbecue this weekend?!

Trevor

Well, it's no big deal. It's just the squad leaders and my platoon sergeant.

Roxy

And their wives!

Trevor

And their wives.

Roxy

And their kids.

Trevor

They don't all have kids. So? What do you think?

Roxy

I think you're nuts!

Trevor

Rox...

Roxy

No way.

Trevor

Babe...

Roxy

Trevor, this house is a mess!

Trevor

It's a barbecue! We can do it in the backyard.

Roxy

Like that solves everything.

Trevor

My platoon sergeant says it's gonna be good for morale so...

Roxy

Ok. So let him do it.

Trevor

I'm the platoon leader.

Roxy

Ok, so order him to do it. You outrank him, right?

Trevor

Yeah I outrank him, but platoon sergeants, they're career guys. They know everything. It's important that I get along with them.

Roxy

Yeah? Well, it's more important that you get along with your wife.

Trevor

[chuckles] I'm working on it.

Roxy

Work harder.

Roxy

And you must be Jisela.

Gisela.

Roxy

What now?

Gee-sel-la

Roxy

Oh, I'm sorry. I must've been practicing that wrong. What is that, like French?

German.

Roxy

[awkwardly] German. [to Ski] So, where did you two meet?

Ski

In Germany.

Roxy

On vacation?

Working. In Kaiserslautern.

Roxy

Kaiser––...that's another one.

Ski

It's a town near Frankfurt.

Trevor

The Army has a base there, Rox.

Ski

Air Force too.

Largest American military community outside the United States.

Roxy

[embarrassed] Learn something new everyday.

Hector

How much longer Sergeant?

Ski

As long as it takes, Cruz. It's only been twenty minutes.

Hector

Yeah, feels like an hour.

Ski

Relax.

Hector

I'm trying but this kid is pointing his AK at me like he's about to light me up.

Ski

So what do we know about this negotiator they're sending?

Trevor

She's a Captain in intelligence.

Ski

[in disbelief] She? Oh yeah...good luck with that.

Ski

Welcome back, sir.

Trevor

It's good to be back, Sergeant.

Ski

Look like hell, sir.

Trevor

I feel like hell, Sergeant.

Ski

[chuckles] Those babies are kickin' your ass, huh?

Trevor

Big time.

Ski

Hope you've got enough gas left in the tank for the platoon. We're bivouacking at Range 28 tomorrow afternoon.

Trevor

Outstanding. Four hours of uninterrupted sleep on cold dark ground sounds awfully good to me right now.

Ski

Roger that, sir!
