[to Denise, about Michael retiring from the Army] Loosing you and the others that's one thing. Loosing a way of life?
S6 E1Winds of War
This is Mother Nature's war and she doesn't fight fair.
WWaitress
You're not worried about the storm? I just heard it's coming in tomorrow night.
Honey, if I worry about every storm that comes along I'd be as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full rocking chairs.
Mr. Broadsky, you have to take your heart medication.
BBroadsky
I feel fine!
That's great! But you still have to––
BBroadsky
I said no!
[walks in] Hey, what's the problem?
BBroadsky
[grins at Denise] Here's my girlfriend!
[to Denise] It's time for Mr. Broadsky to take his digoxin but he refuses. [glares at Mr. Broadsky]
Gus, you need to listen to Specialist Gabriel.
BBroadsky
What is she? Twelve?
She's a combat vet, just like you.
BBroadsky
You're joking.
Afghanistan. 23rd Airborne.
The sooner you listen to her, the sooner you get out of here. Now take your pills. It's an order.
BBroadsky
Yes ma'am!
Babies are meant to be spoiled.
As long as they don't grow up to be spoiled brats.
Well, only Army brats allowed.
S6 E3The Best of Friends
[bangs on the bathroom door] Katie, hurry up!! Come on Katie! Open up! You've been in there forever!
[from inside the bathroom] Have not!
Have too! [to Lucas] Is she always like this?
LLucas
Always!
[knocks on door] Hurry up!
[angrily] Ok, TJ! Knock it off!
Katie! The boys are waiting! [knocks on door] Put it in gear!
It's not fair!
[walks past the boys] Can't find my patrol cap.
Don't look at me.
LLucas
Is that like a baseball hat?
Yeah. Why?
[sheepishly] We were sort of playing with it in my room. [Trevor goes to the boys' room]
LLucas
[bangs on bathroom door] Katie! The toilet flush!
[Lucas and TJ groan and grumble loudly]
[from inside the bathroom] It's not my fault!
Katie! Open the door. I'll deal with it.
But Mom...
[continues knocking on door angrily] Katie! Katie Moran!
[Trevor grabs his hat and storms out of the house, Roxy rushes after him]
Trevor! Don't be mad.
This is getting old, babe.
Ok, it won't be much longer.
[sarcastically] How long? Do you realize we haven't had sex in two weeks?
Well, maybe we could get a room.
If we could get a room I'd put the Morans in it. That's the problem. There are no rooms.
Ok, well, she's my best friend. And she saved Finn's life. So, just a little longer.
[Trevor looks at her and says nothing, gets on his bike and leaves for work]
[Roland and Joan are doing the dishes and talking]
Charlie Mayfield thinks that she can get away with anything because she's colorful
Which pushes your buttons. Obviously.
It is not personal. I have a garrison to run. If people don't follow regs, discipline erodes.
[pauses] Right.
Don't say it like that.
I'm just s– [looks at Joan] I'm just saying that a woman's gotta do her job. You should've seen our son. He loved it there.
I'm not saying he can't go back. I'm just saying sh––
She's a pain in your butt.
[looks at Roland] Exactly.
[looks at Joan's butt] And such a nice butt too.
[stops and looks at Roland] Stop... [laughs]
Lucas says the first thing he wants to do in California is go surfing and the first thing Katie wants to do is meet Justin Bieber.
[...]
Isn't Justin Bieber from Canada?
Ok, it scares me that you know that, Roland.
[sadly, after telling Roxy she is moving to California to join] I've had enough. Kids have had a enough. Time to go home.
But this is home.
Roxy, I love you like a sister but you know that's not true. I mean, home is where my husband is. So, we're going to California. Next week.
But––
Roxy, I have to. I have to go and you have to let me.
[Roxy and Trevor are saying goodbye to Pamela]
[tearfully] Don't..don't say anything.
Call, text, write, come back. I love you.
S6 E4Learning Curve
[Denise, Roxy and Roland are at Claudia Joy's for lunch]
[raises glass for a toast] To Pamela.
EEveryone
[toast] To Pamela.
Gone, but not forgotten.
Hardly. I talk to her every night.
Yeah?
Awful news. She loves California.
[everyone laughs]
Oh, Roxy.
Well, I was hoping she would hate it!
It's good she's happy.
I just don't like it that she's gone. Glad I have the new house to distract me.
How's that going?
It's a disaster. Boxes everywhere. I swear, they multiply at night.
[chuckles] I know how you feel.
And Trevor's no help. I mean he's busier than ever now that he's platoon commander.
Leader. Platoon leader.
Whatever.
Yeah. Frank is swamped too.
With all the new families from Fort Hope I barely get to see Joan these days.
SLSFC Leon "Ski" Wisniewski
Sir, you're doing an outstanding job as LT.
Thank you.
You're also doing a heck of a job as Sergeant. Corrective action is not your line sir.
I guess I'm still thinking like a Sergeant.
Understandable. Seen it before in mustangs like you. But you've got to let your NCOs lead. I promise we'll get your men mission-ready.
I appreciate the heads up. Any other suggestions?
One or two.
[Later]
[horrified] You wanna throw a barbecue this weekend?!
Well, it's no big deal. It's just the squad leaders and my platoon sergeant.
And their wives!
And their wives.
And their kids.
They don't all have kids. So? What do you think?
I think you're nuts!
Rox...
No way.
Babe...
Trevor, this house is a mess!
It's a barbecue! We can do it in the backyard.
Like that solves everything.
My platoon sergeant says it's gonna be good for morale so...
Ok. So let him do it.
I'm the platoon leader.
Ok, so order him to do it. You outrank him, right?
Yeah I outrank him, but platoon sergeants, they're career guys. They know everything. It's important that I get along with them.
Yeah? Well, it's more important that you get along with your wife.
[chuckles] I'm working on it.
Work harder.
[Roxy is introduced to Ski and his wife Gisela]
And you must be Jisela.
GGisela
Gisela.
What now?
GGisela
Gee-sel-la
Oh, I'm sorry. I must've been practicing that wrong. What is that, like French?
GGisela
German.
[awkwardly] German. [to Ski] So, where did you two meet?
In Germany.
On vacation?
GGisela
Working. In Kaiserslautern.
Kaiser––...that's another one.
It's a town near Frankfurt.
The Army has a base there, Rox.
Air Force too.
GGisela
Largest American military community outside the United States.
[embarrassed] Learn something new everyday.
S6 E5True Colors
Did you hear about that Bravo Company FRG meeting?
You mean the great doughnut meltdown? It was all over post.
Bad situation.
Poor Min-Ji. She's always had trouble with that FRG but it happens sometimes. Bad chemistry.
I don't believe in bad chemistry. I believe in good leadership.
I wouldn't judge Min-Ji too harshly. This isn't her native culture and, well, it's hard to wrangle a bunch of self-absorbed twenty-year-old's.
I agree, but the fact is, they need a new FRG leader. Somebody to "kick butt" and take names. Know anyone?
[thinks] Actually...I do.
[Later at the LeBlanc home]
FRG leader??? Me?
Why not? You'd make a great leader.
Shark bait, you mean. You should've been there, Denise. They ate that poor woman alive.
I know. It's not the easiest group.
Are you kidding?! They're horrible!
They just need to be led.
Yeah. Off a cliff! What about Captain Brunson's wife?
Erm...Captain Brunson is between wives. That's why Min-Ji took the job. Her husband is the XO.
Well, who's like, "assistant XO"?
There is no "assistant XO". The next in line are platoon leaders and that's you. You're an officer's wife, Roxy. That means more responsibility.
Yes. I get it. Look, I would love to help. But with the kids and The Hump Bar––
I will help. And so will Jackie. She really wants to meet you, by the way.
Yeah. Well, I don't want to meet her.
Oh come on. I know you got a bad first impression but she's a great person. And she could be an important contact for you. [Roxy looks at her curiously] Being an FRG leader could help Trevor's career.
Hmm, hadn't thought about that. [looks at Denise] You really think I could do it?
[smiles] I know you can. And right now, the Army needs you.
Wow, that's something I never expected to hear.
I'm really proud of you, babe.
Yeah?
I just hope you're not taking on too much.
I don't think so. And besides, I like helping your career.
How's that?
Well, Denise said that Jackie Clarke could be a good contact for me and being an FRG leader could help you.
Yeeeaahh...ok...but it goes both ways, Rox.
What do you mean?
Well, that whole doughnut thing the other day? LT Webster is in the doghouse with the Captain because of that.
Why?? I told you it wasn't Min-Ji's fault. The other women were horrible to her.
Doesn't matter. Guy can't keep it together at home, how's he supposed to lead on the field.
[in disbelief] That is so unfair.
That's how it is, babe.
So what you're saying is "no pressure but don't screw up".
Yeah, pretty much. [kisses Roxy]
Great.
