“Sacrifices” quotes from Army Wives

Roland

You would not believe this. These are Joan's nanny requirements.

Denise

Oooh. I can't wait.

Pamela

Roland

I barely qualify.

Roxy

How's the mom thing going?

Roland

Roland

[awkwardly] Right, it's kinda like that.

Chase

Ok everybody! Family meeting! Let's go! [goes to kids' room] Family meeting. Now! Let's go! Move it! [goes to Pamela in the kitchen] Come on Mom! You too!

Chase

Joan

[smiles] Well, he tried. But I tripped him. [both laugh]

Betty

Roxy, I want you to be happy, honey. I spent most of my life in that place and what do I have to show for it? Half-empty bed, that's what I have to show for it. If I had to choose right now between the man I love and that bar, I would burn it to the ground, honey.

Joan

No. No way. They're not getting near our daughter.

I wanted to call 911 on everyone of them. [gets up and leaves room]

Pamela
