S1 E1A Tribe Is Born

Claudia Joy Holden, after 17 years of marriage my heart still skips a beat every time I look at you.

Michael James Holden, after 17 years of marriage I can't believe that tired old line of yours still works.

Roxy, you work two jobs right? And you got two kids from two different men. Now, I know I only met you four days ago, but I think you're my soulmate!

Sit next to the Anti-Christ, going to Hell by association.

Oh, I reckon I got you beat on the Hell front.

Last week I was a drug dealer. This week I'm carrying the chaplain's kids. You think you can top that?

I can try. My kids aren't my husband's. I was married to the first one's daddy till he sucker-punched me. The second one was just a friend who came over to "comfort" me one night. I've known Trevor, my husband, for all of 17 days now. How'd I do.

[smiles] I'm impressed.

[Seeing the look on Roland's face as she gives birth] You having a good time?

Let's just say childbirth is disgusting as it is miraculous.

[The first baby comes out and Denise hands him to Roland. Everyone looks at him.]

[looks up to see everyone looking at him] It wasn't me.

S1 E2After Birth

Give me everything you've got baby doll or you're gonna be looking at me from the floor.

I know it's a lot, Roxy, but you gotta harden yourself. You gotta keep it together for your husband.

I'm trying. I guess I just thought marrying a soldier would be romantic. But instead, it's about worrying whether he's coming back.

Well, he can't go to war worrying about you. He could die from that kind of distraction.

S1 E3The Art of Separation

[on the phone with Frank] There's nothing wrong. I'm just taking a bath.

Oh. Damn, I wish there was a webcam!

[Trevor is showing Lucas, TJ and Finn how to maintain a car]

Finn, you are on girl watch. No girls allowed, you understand?

No girls! Yes sir!

[...]

[Roxy and Katie walk towards them]

Here come girls!

Roxy's right. We need to kick some ass.

[stops and looks at Denise in surprise] Did you just say "kick some ass"?

And I'm learning how to. Roxy is teaching me to box. She's a real survivor, that girl. I can't lift my arms but it was fun.

Why are you learning how to box?

Jeremy lost his temper. Again.

He hurt you. Even after Michael warned him?

Yeah. Roxy walked in and, well, she kicked him in the groin.

[surprised] I don't know what to say.

[Roxy is in the bathroom doing her make-up]

Hey, I know this is tough for you but I'm coming home.

How can you know that? How can anyone know that?

I just know. I do.

Look, I get it, ok? I hit the jackpot here. I mean, most men put on the skates when they hear I got kids. But you married me. And here we are a blink later and you wanna adopt my boys and you want me to read your will and...it's not "just in case". It's because you could die. Trevor, it's because you could die. [kisses Trevor and walks out of the bathroom]

Roxy. [Roxy stops and looks at him] I was adopted. And not till I was seven. Until then it was just foster care. I don't want to adopt your boys because I'm afraid I'm gonna die. I want to adopt them because I want them to know what it feels like to have someone really want them. It's like I said, I'm coming home.

[Jeremy knocks at Claudia Joy's door, Amanda opens it]

Look everybody, it's Jeremy Sherwood -- How are you?

Great -- Uh -- Amanda, you look great!

So do you.

So, when did you get home?

About 90 minutes after I got arrested.

Arrested?

I take it you haven't been watching the news?

I hate that show, it's too depressing.

[At the donation gathering, at the podium]

Hey -- It's me, Pamela Moran. I just want to let you all know, I made fifty grand carrying those kids. That's right, I was a paid surrogate. So, they're not my babies, they're not in the hospital, they're not dead and I lied to everyone. So -- Have at it!

[to Roxy] I read this quote once. Once you become a mother, you stop being the picture and you start being the frame.

S1 E5Independence Day

[Inside the LeBlanc home]

Marilyn is having an affair, and you waited until now to tell me?

Well, excuse me, but I worked until midnight last night.

Well, my phone works twenty-four hours a day! And so does my front door!

[...]

So do you have any advice for me?

My first deployment, I didn't know what to expect. There was a Major in my unit. A married guy, been on a lot of tours. He told me not to contact my family. Said the less I talked to them, the less I'd miss them and it would make it easier for me to get through. I called home only called four, five times in six months. My son was two weeks old when I learned he was born. The Major was right. It did make it easier. For me.

[looks at Roxy, who is in the kitchen with Pamela] Four five times in six months? [shakes head] I don't think I could do that Roxy.

[Camera cuts back to kitchen]

We can't tell anyone.

Wait, why not? [lowers her voice] I was gonna tell Trevor. I mean, he knows her husband.

Nah, you can't do that. Maybe in civilian life you could, if someone's cheating. But not here. We have to protect each other. Even if it's Marilyn. You still have to protect another soldier's wife. It's our code.

[Camera cuts back to Chase and Trevor]

You asked for my advice, right?

Yeah.

Well, here it is. [pauses] You call her every minute you can. I hurt Pamela a lot. Don't hurt your girl.
