I wish there was a waitress box that I could just check and be done with.
You know, sometimes I think that whoever writes these things does it with the sole intention of just turning my brain to mush.
S2 E8Loyalties
Well, well. Didn't know you were a maitre d' too.
I figured that as long as I'm here I might as well help out a bit.
That's too bad. We could use some eye candy around here.
[to Roxy] Hey babe, that new waitress of yours, she's pretty flirty.
She's not flirty. She's being smart. With what this job pays you, you gotta use what God gave you to get the big tips.
[Trevor is in the pantry looking for something when Sandy walks in and deliberately bumps into him]
It's kinda cozy in here, dontcha think?
[looks at Sandy in disbelief] Are you serious?
I'm just sayin'. A person can get in a lot of trouble here ya know. If they wanted to.
[backs away from Sandy] All right. [seriously] As weird as this sounds, I'm actually in love with my wife so...just...watch it.
[Unknown to them, Roxy is at the door listening]
[chuckles] Nothing is gonna happen. [goes up to Trevor] Unless you want it to.
Hey! I think he just said he doesn't want it to. 'Cause I got that department covered just fine, thank you.
Roxy, I...I was just––
[deadpan] Leaving. That's what you were just doing. You're fired. [Trevor looks on in bemusement] And unless you want this jar of mayo on your head, I'd leave right now.
[Sandy leaves]
[laughs] Babe! That was so hot!
Thank you! [Trevor kisses her]
S2 E11Mothers & Wives
[Talking to Claudia about her feelings and how mixed up they are] Just being around him makes me feel like I'm lying to him.
Why do you always get so stressed out when Grams comes? She's fun.
Grandmothers are always fun. Mothers are another story.
How's the colonel feeling?
Great. I think she's making up for all the sleep she lost over her entire career.
[about the death gratuity] I remember signing those papers. But the thought of Joan being killed in combat, I just pushed it out of my mind.
Seems like a soldier's worth more dead than alive.
You think after all I've been through, having your parents split up wouldn't be such a big deal.
I think parents splitting up is always a big deal.
I feel like a five-year-old...embarrassing!
S2 E13Safe Havens
Don't you remember? Paolo and Maria had lilies waiting for us in our hotel room when we arrived.
[in amazement] You remember what kind of flowers were in a hotel room twenty years ago? That's scary.
Three months ago, I'm patrolling enemy territory in Iraq with Dalton. Now he's dead. And I spend all day filing things, making sure everything's all lined up. A, B, C, D...
What?
I'm an admin clerk, babe. [sarcastically] Thought I'd make you proud.
S2 E14Payback
[TJ and Finn enter the bedroom dressed up in their suits and ties]
FFinn
Hurry up, Daddy.
You look all grown up.
I wish we had uniforms for the Silver Star ceremony.
No. [kneels down to straighten out their shirts and ties] I like you guys just the way you are.
We wanna be like you.
You do?
Most of the time.
Not all the time?
FFinn
Almost.
So when are the times when you don't want to be like me?
FFinn
Cranky times.
When you yell at Mommy.
FFinn
And throw stuff.
[sits on bed, the boys back off] Come here. Come over here, I'm not going to bite you. Come on.
[The boys sit on the bed on either side of him]
I promise you, no more cranky times.
FFinn
No more yelling?
No more yelling. Just kissing. Lots and lots of kissing.
[Michael knocks on the hotel door]
PPaolo
[opens door, surprised] Michael!
[Michael punches him square in the face and promptly leaves without saying a word.]
[holding Sara Elizabeth] How can you love someone so much after only a few days?
S2 E15Thank You for Letting Me Share
A good time? I'm up to my neck in other people's good times. Getting drunk and losing control, that's not "good times". [raises her voice] And you know what the problem is? It's never your fault! What about the people who have to pick up the tab for that, huh? What about their good times? You don't even care about the people whom you leave in your path!
[Customers all turn and stare at Roxy]
What are y'all lookin' at?! [storms off]
[Later at Roxy's porch]
How are you feeling?
I've a cold.
No kidding. Hey, Rox. What happened at the bar––
I know. I was over the top.
People who grow up with addictions, they develop their own addictions. It's called enabling.
You know, I was hoping the first five addicts I hooked up with were just a coincidence. Trevor was different. I was sure I'd broken the cycle.
Trevor is different. This is situational. But the way in which you're handling it is not. Glossing over problems, taking on more than you can do, not admitting defeat. That's the pattern.
[Roxy and Trevor are speaking at their separate therapy groups]
I only knew my wife a couple of weeks before I married her. A lot of people would call that irresponsible but I just knew. I knew she was the one.
I made one impulsive choice after another because that's all I saw the people around me do. But for some reason, choosing Trevor was the right thing. It led me to sanity and I can't forget that. I can't run away at the first sign of trouble but I also can't deny what's all around me either. I owe it to him and to our children... [fades off]
It's like, it's like there's something bigger, you know, like this small voice that we can barely hear trying to tell us what we need to do.
The truth is in the middle, in the quiet.
You just have to listen.
I'm learning to be still.
