TV show quotes
[comes up to Gloria] Hey honey. Where's our beers?
Are you talkin to me? 'Cause I could tell what you could do with your beers if you don't take that meat hook off me, honey.
[embarrassed, takes hand off Gloria's shoulder] Sorry.
Now be a good boy and go sit down. I'll bring you your beers.
Yes ma'am. [leaves]
I feel sick about those kids
Yeah. Me too. That woman has a lot of nerve blaming our guys for what happened.
Hector says it was messed up.
What does that mean?
Nothing. He just says they could've done more, that's all. Your husband told him to forget about it, there was nothing they could do.
Yeah, well, he was right. Look, they're soldiers. They have to follow orders. And if Trevor said it was the right call, it was the right call.
Yeah I know. I just feel sick about it, that's all.
So do I.
I was talking to Gloria about those kids, the orphans.
Yup.
We were just both saying what a horrible situation it was and I said that you would've saved those kids if you could've, right? [Trevor says nothing] Trevor?
Technically we could've saved them.
What?
I mean, if there was room in the Humvee it would've been tight, but...
I don't get it.
Ok, even we had taken them to the airfield. Then what? We couldn't fly them out of the country.
Why not?
'Cause that wasn't our mission. Our mission was to evacuate Americans.
Yeah, I get that...
Those tribes over there, they all hate each other.
Yeah, but these weren't dangerous gunmen or anything.
People say we're taking sides.
Trevor, these were orphans standing right in front of you, some of them the same age as TJ and Finn!
[snaps] You don't have to remind me! All right?
[quietly] Ok. Sorry.
[pauses, looks at Roxy] It's war, and in war civilians pay a price. Always. Mothers, fathers, children. One time we were on patrol at this village outside Kandahar. Jeremy Sherwood is kicking a soccer ball with this Afghan kid. A few minutes later, a car bomb explodes and this kid and his father are dead. Funny thing is, the soccer ball wasn't touched. You got these two bodies lying there and the ball's perfectly fine.
You never told me about that.
There's a lot I never told you. There's a lot I wish I never knew.
[Roxy and Gloria bring Jackie, who is drunk, back to her house]
[points at house] That's my house.
That's right! We just need to get you inside.
Um, hold on a second...
Ok
[Jackie vomits on the ground right then and there while a bemused Roxy and Gloria look on and grimace.]
It's ok. Denise said that's a good sign. It gets it out of her system.
[Jackie vomits again]
So I guess that's a really good sign huh?
What do I tell him?
Ahh...I wouldn't lie, but don't tell him the truth.
[confused] What does that mean?
You'll figure it out.
[Gloria and Roxy head over to join their husbands]
[concerned] Gloria! Where've you been?
Didn't they tell you? I...I had to go on an errand.
Yeah, what kind of errand?
Uhh....babysitting General Clarke's wife.
[Hector gives her a strange look and laughs]
[laughs nervously] I thought you'd like that. Uh, it was nothing. FRG business.
[nods, offers her the wine bottle] Want some wine?
You know what? [puts hand on her wine glass] I think I'll pass.
[Roxy has just revealed that she's pregnant with twins]
How's Trevor dealing with it?
Are you kidding? He loves it.
Well, he's not the one carrying twins.
Exactly. He has no idea what he's in for. These are our first kids together so he's never been through the midnight feedings...
Or sleep deprivation.
Or mood swings.
What is it about the ocean? Nothing seems to matter when I'm here. You just drift.
[to Nicole] How is it you're getting a medal for valor but you can't find the courage to tell your mother we're getting married?
Look what I found. [hands Cody a photo of both of them]
[smiles] That was right before the final road march at OCS.
Yup. You came in first that day. Hell of a soldier.
Nah, hell of a recruit. Not much of a soldier.
What are you talking about?
What am I talking about? Trev, I never got a chance to do squat. It was my fourth day in theater. It was my first time outside the wire. I was 500 meters from the patrol base when that IED went off. I never saw any enemy. I didn't fire my weapon. All I did do was get thrown from a Humvee and burned.
That doesn't make you any less of a soldier.
I guess that depends on how you look at it.
[to Cody] You know what? I've got a friend whose son died in Afghanistan. She'd give anything to have him back here, no matter what shape he was in. And I guarantee you he would not be sitting here feeling sorry for himself. He'd be living everyday.
My husband cheated on me.
[takes a second look at her] Really? What is he, blind?
He is the best thing that ever happened to you and you want to throw it all away?
Leave it alone. It's none of your business.
[...] You forgot what your life was like before Trevor? Your first husband was a wife-beater, drove you out of the house and into the arms of another loser-man who gave you nothing but a second child. You're living in a trailer with two kids on food stamps when Trevor picked you up like a knight on a white horse and brings you here. Look around. I don't know anyone who lives in a house this nice. But I guess it's not good enough for you anymore is it?
I never said it wasn't nice!
You have a man who loves you, who's raising your kids like his own, who's the father of those babies you're carrying.
Yes and what happens to them when their dad doesn't come home one day because he's been blown up somewhere around the world?! Did you ever think about that? What happens then?
Well, then you'll have proud memories of a man who died doing what he believed in.
I don't want that! I'm thinking about my family!
You're thinking about yourself and you know what? There's more to life than just what's best for Roxy LeBlanc.
You were tossing around a lot last night, babe. How are you feeling?
[groans] Like a beached whale!
Only three more weeks.
Yeah, easy for you to say. Hey, do my shoes match? It's been months since I've even seen my feet.
You look great. For a whale. [Roxy throws a pillow at him]
[showing Gloria a picture of Sara Elizabeth on his cellphone] It's her first swimming lesson. It seems like yesterday Sara Elizabeth was learning to walk.
Before you know it, she'll be applying to college.
[jokingly] You mean the nunnery!
I love baby showers!
They should come with a warning: babies grow up.
