Army Wives · Season 6, Episode 5

Claudia Joy and Roxy in “True Colors”

Claudia Joy

Calm down, sweetheart. I am sure Denise didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Roxy

Maybe not. Just that FRG Nazi Jackie Clarke. Wants everyone to be her little clone.

Claudia Joy

I wouldn't be too hard on Jackie either.

Roxy

Why not?

Claudia Joy

Because I happen to agree with her.

Roxy

Not you, too. What does my hem line have to do with being an FRG leader??

Claudia Joy

A lot, actually. [Roxy looks at her in frustration] Things change when your husband becomes an officer, Roxy.

Roxy

Yeah. Your friends think you're an embarrassment.

Claudia Joy

This isn't about you. This is about being part of something that's bigger than you. An officer's uniform commands respect. Same thing being an officer's wife. How you dress makes a statement.

Roxy

You know, I didn't sign up for the Army. Trevor did.

Claudia Joy

[smiles understandingly] That doesn't cut it and you know it. When you married Trevor, you married into the Army.

Roxy

Yeah, well, I never saw this coming.

[...]

Claudia Joy

Whatever you decide, don't let the prospect of a longer dress or shorter heels stop you.

Roxy

Shorter heels? Really??

Claudia Joy

You'll always be the same Roxy underneath. Nothing can change that, thank God.
