[Denise, Roxy and Roland are at Claudia Joy's for lunch]
[raises glass for a toast] To Pamela.
EEveryone
[toast] To Pamela.
Hardly. I talk to her every night.
Awful news. She loves California.
[everyone laughs]
Well, I was hoping she would hate it!
I just don't like it that she's gone. Glad I have the new house to distract me.
It's a disaster. Boxes everywhere. I swear, they multiply at night.
[chuckles] I know how you feel.
And Trevor's no help. I mean he's busier than ever now that he's platoon commander.
Yeah. Frank is swamped too.
With all the new families from Fort Hope I barely get to see Joan these days.
SLSFC Leon "Ski" Wisniewski
Sir, you're doing an outstanding job as LT.
You're also doing a heck of a job as Sergeant. Corrective action is not your line sir.
I guess I'm still thinking like a Sergeant.
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.
I appreciate the heads up. Any other suggestions?
[Later]
[horrified] You wanna throw a barbecue this weekend?!
Well, it's no big deal. It's just the squad leaders and my platoon sergeant.
They don't all have kids. So? What do you think?
Trevor, this house is a mess!
It's a barbecue! We can do it in the backyard.
Like that solves everything.
My platoon sergeant says it's gonna be good for morale so...
Ok, so order him to do it. You outrank him, right?
Yeah I outrank him, but platoon sergeants, they're career guys. They know everything. It's important that I get along with them.
Yeah? Well, it's more important that you get along with your wife.
[chuckles] I'm working on it.
[Roxy is introduced to Ski and his wife Gisela]
Oh, I'm sorry. I must've been practicing that wrong. What is that, like French?
[awkwardly] German. [to Ski] So, where did you two meet?
GGisela
Working. In Kaiserslautern.
Kaiser––...that's another one.
It's a town near Frankfurt.
The Army has a base there, Rox.
GGisela
Largest American military community outside the United States.
[embarrassed] Learn something new everyday.
