Army Wives · Season 6, Episode 11

Roxy and Trevor in “Fallout”

Roxy

I was talking to Gloria about those kids, the orphans.

Trevor

Yup.

Roxy

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?

Trevor

Technically we could've saved them.

Roxy

What?

Trevor

I mean, if there was room in the Humvee it would've been tight, but...

Roxy

I don't get it.

Trevor

Ok, even we had taken them to the airfield. Then what? We couldn't fly them out of the country.

Roxy

Why not?

Trevor

'Cause that wasn't our mission. Our mission was to evacuate Americans.

Roxy

Yeah, I get that...

Trevor

Those tribes over there, they all hate each other.

Roxy

Yeah, but these weren't dangerous gunmen or anything.

Trevor

People say we're taking sides.

Roxy

Trevor, these were orphans standing right in front of you, some of them the same age as TJ and Finn!

Trevor

[snaps] You don't have to remind me! All right?

Roxy

[quietly] Ok. Sorry.

Trevor

[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.

Roxy

You never told me about that.

Trevor

There's a lot I never told you. There's a lot I wish I never knew.
