Army Wives · Season 4
Take guys like you. You're goofing off playing football one day and you're on my table the next. Your leg's blown off, face is burnt, bleeding out...
You do what you can. That's all any of us can do.
[Roland, Claudia Joy, Denise, Roxy and Pamela are having a drink at The Hump Bar]
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state. And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries...
[Pamela feigns snoring]
That's Shakespeare you're snoring at, woman.
[Ladies all giggle at Roland]
If you're gonna snore, snore at the best.
Morning, Sherwood. Nice day, huh?
Ah, yeah. Not too hot yet.
Oh, I don't know about that. I thought I saw a lot of heat a moment ago between you and that medic.
[flustered] We––we were just talking, Sergeant.
[smiles, sarcastically] Right. [continues] Look, we're in tough country. I need your head in the game and not in the clouds.
Understood.
Now on the flip side, as you're both the same rank, what I can't see, I can't address.
[catches a guy staring at Denise, who is obviously pregnant] Dude. She is not available. Is that not obvious to you?
I feel my heartburn flaring up and it just gets worse when I lay down. There's no chance I'm gonna sleep tonight so I'll just watch some TV or something and try to zone out.
Really? We have DVDs.
No, really, it's ok. I could watch anything right now. [chuckles] I saw this infomercial last night about this egg thingy that removes dead skin from the bottom of your feet. [chuckles] I realized I can't even see my feet. [laughs and suddenly begins to cry] Oh, Roxy, what am I gonna do? Frank is gone and Jeremy is gone and I'm so tired and I'm just gonna be tired for the rest of my life. And baby's not gonna sleep for months and then she's gonna need carpool and then she'll be a teenager and she'll hate me and want to.... [chuckles] Oh god...and then she'll go to college and she'll meet a boy and she'll get married and she'll..... [worried] Oh, what if it doesn't work out and she moves back home and then....I'll hate her?? Or what if it does work out and she has babies and then I'll be a grandmother!...And then I'll have to watch them and then the babies won't sleep and then what am I gonna do?!?? [starts crying again]
The single scene, it's a jungle out there.
Spoken like a true Delta operator.
Just telling it like it is.
[Roxy and Trevor are video-conferencing]
All right, babe. This is what we've been working on. You ready?
Let's have it.
[Pamela walks into Roxy's house and sees her laughing at her laptop. Trevor is dancing for Roxy wearing only his bullet-proof vest and boxers.]
[looks on in amazement] I haven't seen that move since the 80's. [Roxy continues laughing] Wow...oh my...
[Trevor realizes that Pamela is watching and stops]
[comes up to webcam, embarrassed] Oh wow. All right, we're gonna talk about this later. [switches off his webcam]
Bye! [closes laptop]
[laughs] That was a good way to end my shift.
[still laughing] I am in so much trouble right now!
[video-conferencing] Hoping to make headway with some remote village elders who are getting squeezed by the Taliban.
Why are you going?
Their elders prefer to negotiate with our elders. And that would be me.
[giggles] Never knew "elders" could be so sexy.
[Jeremy runs from outside and barges into the operations room where Frank and his men are]
[startled] What is it?
[panting] Mom's having the baby. Now.
What? How do you know?
I called her to tell her I was getting married and her water broke while I was on the phone.
Oh, good lord. I gotta go to the teleconference room.
[tosses Frank's patrol cap to him] Dad, cover!
[Frank catches his cap and goes into the teleconference room]
[pokes head back out] You're gettin' married???
My wife's having a baby. My wife's having a Molly. Her name's Molly.
[setting up mic and computer] Congratulations, sir.
[video feed shows Denise in labor, Frank cringes at Denise's groaning] Son of a bitch!
She can hear you, sir.
Oh.
[Denise is in labor]
[via video-conferencing] Hey! Hi, honey. Hey, Dee. You're doing great. That's it. I'm right with you, sweetheart. I'm right here with you.
[in labor] No you're not! You're 7000 miles awaayyyy!!!!
