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.
S4 E14AWOL
S4 E15Hearts & Minds
[Roland, Claudia Joy, Denise, Roxy and Pamela are having a drink at The Hump Bar]
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state. And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries...
[Pamela feigns snoring]
That's Shakespeare you're snoring at, woman.
[Ladies all giggle at Roland]
If you're gonna snore, snore at the best.
Morning, Sherwood. Nice day, huh?
Ah, yeah. Not too hot yet.
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.
[smiles, sarcastically] Right. [continues] Look, we're in tough country. I need your head in the game and not in the clouds.
Understood.
Now on the flip side, as you're both the same rank, what I can't see, I can't address.
[catches a guy staring at Denise, who is obviously pregnant] Dude. She is not available. Is that not obvious to you?
I feel my heartburn flaring up and it just gets worse when I lay down. There's no chance I'm gonna sleep tonight so I'll just watch some TV or something and try to zone out.
Really? We have DVDs.
No, really, it's ok. I could watch anything right now. [chuckles] I saw this infomercial last night about this egg thingy that removes dead skin from the bottom of your feet. [chuckles] I realized I can't even see my feet. [laughs and suddenly begins to cry] Oh, Roxy, what am I gonna do? Frank is gone and Jeremy is gone and I'm so tired and I'm just gonna be tired for the rest of my life. And baby's not gonna sleep for months and then she's gonna need carpool and then she'll be a teenager and she'll hate me and want to.... [chuckles] Oh god...and then she'll go to college and she'll meet a boy and she'll get married and she'll..... [worried] Oh, what if it doesn't work out and she moves back home and then....I'll hate her?? Or what if it does work out and she has babies and then I'll be a grandmother!...And then I'll have to watch them and then the babies won't sleep and then what am I gonna do?!?? [starts crying again]
The single scene, it's a jungle out there.
Spoken like a true Delta operator.
Just telling it like it is.
S4 E17Murder in Charleston
[Roxy and Trevor are video-conferencing]
All right, babe. This is what we've been working on. You ready?
Let's have it.
[Pamela walks into Roxy's house and sees her laughing at her laptop. Trevor is dancing for Roxy wearing only his bullet-proof vest and boxers.]
[looks on in amazement] I haven't seen that move since the 80's. [Roxy continues laughing] Wow...oh my...
[Trevor realizes that Pamela is watching and stops]
[comes up to webcam, embarrassed] Oh wow. All right, we're gonna talk about this later. [switches off his webcam]
Bye! [closes laptop]
[laughs] That was a good way to end my shift.
[still laughing] I am in so much trouble right now!
[video-conferencing] Hoping to make headway with some remote village elders who are getting squeezed by the Taliban.
Why are you going?
Their elders prefer to negotiate with our elders. And that would be me.
[giggles] Never knew "elders" could be so sexy.
S4 E18Forward March
[Jeremy runs from outside and barges into the operations room where Frank and his men are]
[startled] What is it?
[panting] Mom's having the baby. Now.
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.
Oh, good lord. I gotta go to the teleconference room.
[tosses Frank's patrol cap to him] Dad, cover!
[Frank catches his cap and goes into the teleconference room]
[pokes head back out] You're gettin' married???
My wife's having a baby. My wife's having a Molly. Her name's Molly.
SSpecialist
[setting up mic and computer] Congratulations, sir.
[video feed shows Denise in labor, Frank cringes at Denise's groaning] Son of a bitch!
SSpecialist
She can hear you, sir.
Oh.
[Denise is in labor]
[via video-conferencing] Hey! Hi, honey. Hey, Dee. You're doing great. That's it. I'm right with you, sweetheart. I'm right here with you.
[in labor] No you're not! You're 7000 miles awaayyyy!!!!
S5 E1Line of Departure
I'd rather have a colicky baby than a crabby teenager any day.
I thought TJ was twelve.
Yeah. He's twelve going on sixteen. I swear he suddenly woke up like a completely different person. He doesn't want to do his chores. He doesn't want to play with Finn. He stays in his room all the time.
Well, we all know what that means.
[Claudia Joy looks at Denise and both laugh]
Oh, no! Do not even go there!
I'm just saying you might wanna see what kind of magazines he's keeping under his mattress.
[laughs in horror] Trust me, I do not!
That's perfectly natural. [Roxy looks at him] I'm just sayin'.
Gotta strap yourself in, Roxy. The teen years are not for the faint of heart.
No.
High drama. High stress.
The worst part? Just when things start to get better, they leave.
[about meeting Jeremy's fiancée] I don't know that "excited" is the right word. Not that I don't want to meet her. It's just...incredibly weird. I mean...I'm gonna be a mother-in-law.
Ah yes, the hyphenate that strikes fear in the hearts of women everywhere.
And I suppose you love your mother-in-law, huh?
She never visits, she never calls, what's not to love? [gets up to leave] I gotta go home to see my wife.
Oh, sure, rub it in. You've got someone to go home to unlike the four D's here.
"The four D's"?
Deployed, deployed, deployed, divorced.
[on the phone with Jeremy] She didn't like me.
Come on. I'm sure that's not true
[on the phone with Frank] I just don't like her.
Why, baby? What happened??
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.
I don't understand. Why the rush? They hardly know each other. And they're so young! They're practically babies!
[tries to reassure her] Dee, they are hardly babies! They've been to war, seen combat.
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.
What are you doing here?
It's me Whit. Remember? Your Mama's friend?
Get out!
Woah, woah, woah. What did you just say?
Why is he here?
Do not sass me. This is Whit. He's my friend.
Like the friends you used to have before Dad?
You apologize.
[angrily] No! If Dad was here he would kick his ass and you know it!
[points to his room] TJ, get in your room right now and do not come out until I tell you different! You hear me?!
Nothing happened. We talked, we had a few beers.
Are you ok?
[wistfully] I just wish Trevor were home.
Yeah, that would make things easier, wouldn't it?
Whit was never marriage material. We were just friends.
