“Leaving The Tribe” quotes from Army Wives

Joan

[trying her best to hide her nausea] Deployment papers ready for your signature sir.

Michael

Which unit is leaving next?

Joan

3rd Brigade Combat Team.

Michael

All right. Thank you, Joan.

Joan

Yes, sir. [turns to leave]

Michael

Oh, wait. [Joan stops in her tracks] I'd like you to pull their files for me.

Joan

All of them, sir? There's almost 500. [Michael looks up at her] I'll have them on your desk by this afternoon–– [dashes to the trash can and vomits in it]

Michael

[stoically] I'm guessing that's either bad sushi or you decided to keep the baby.

Joan

[regains composure] The baby.

Joan

[about to tell her staff that she is pregnant] Some of you have probably noticed a few changes in me lately, and I thank you for not bringing them to my attention.

Joan

Roland, I like logic, discipline, control. It makes me feel safe. That's why I love the Army. But now, I don't know. Sometimes I don't feel logical or in control

Roland

It's normal. And it's also temporary.

Joan

So it is my hormones.

Roland

Yes it is.

Joan

And you can tell the difference when it's me and when it's...

Roland

The 'mones? Yeah, I can tell the difference.

Joan

[sighs in relief] Good. 'Cause I can't, I really can't. This morning, I threw up on General Holden.

Roland

Ouch. [both laugh]

Joan

I just had a thought.

Roland

What?

Joan

Since my hormones are up and about anyway...

Roland

[grins] Might as well put them to good use.

Joan

Exactly. [they start kissing]
