I was just heading out to mess with you some more.

Rush

Your car dry up or they get you a new one?

Rush

I said back away.

You gonna shoot me, Detective? Now, how do you think that'll look after I've filed a complaint? The more you push, the less I have to lose.

[to Zeb in a rap battle] You gotta mouth full of rubbish, imma take out the trash / Here's the pay for my bus, 'cause you probably can use the cash / You're a rope looking player faking a strafe full / Word on the street is you've got a little issue.

I messed a lot of things up. This is the only thing I ever did right, my boy, Jason. He's 11 now. Wants to play hockey, I sign him up. Junior League asked me to leave, won't let him play because of what they say I did. It broke his heart.

Vera

Ma'am, Army thinks one of its top soldiers is a criminal. You gotta make it right. Staff Sergeant Donley changed my life; the least I can do is honor his.

Ethan, right? Man, your brother talked a lot about you. I'm sure that everybody's telling you you gotta be strong for your pop, and you got big shoes to fill. But none of that answers any of your questions, right? About why all this had to happen? I wish I could tell you; I can't. No one can. But if you ever get sad about your brother, I want you to remember this.

Sorry.

Rush

Take your time.

He, um... he told my son Ethan that... he shouldn't feel sad about never seeing Kevin again. Because, every time he saw a soldier on TV, in the news, on the street- anywhere- that... he was seeing a piece of Kevin. That Kevin was now... a part of something bigger. Now, I might not have agreed with Mike that much but... what he said stays with me today. It's how I get by.
