Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 3, Episode 11 - Operation: Tango - full transcript

Trevor has finally been promoted to sergeant. He helps the very screw up who disturbs his party, private Day, into therapy and is asked to consider becoming an army recruiter. South Carolina senator Clayton Calhoun's merry widow J...

Previously on "Army Wives"...

I just submitted
my letter of recommendation.

I expect soon we'll be
calling you Sergeant Leblanc.

- Thank you, ma'am.
- Brian Day, how's life treating you?

- Not bad.
- "Not bad" is good for a start.

I saw one of my soldiers there.

P.F.C. Brian day.
He was there to see Price.

Finn, your teacher wants
me to go in for a meeting.

I think Miss Haley says
I have a listening problem.

Are you seriously saying there
is something wrong with my son?

I'm saying that we'd like to test him.



Judging by these scores,
your son is exceptionally gifted.

I think the kind of individualized
program that he needs to thrive in

is best satisfied in a private school.

Private school's expensive.

Let's just take
this one step at a time.

It was your choice to deploy,

and you made that choice
without consulting me.

So if wanna play the martyr,
go do it someplace else.

We're really not interested.

Here you go, Sergeant.

Anything else, Sergeant?

All right, Rox, enough.

Whatever you say, Sergeant.

To the commander in chief,



to the U.S. Army,

to the 23rd...

and to sergeant Leblanc.

- Well, someone's having a good time.
- Well, he deserves it.

What about you?
You haven't stopped all night.

Who's complaing?
I mean, look at this crowd.

- This joint is jumping!
- Yep. Anchors aweigh.

Isn't that the navy?

Hey, we got sailors, too.

- Is Joan with you?
- Uh, no.

Things are a bit frosty at the moment.

We talking snow flurries
or arctic tundra?

Pre-deployment tension--

fighting over small stuff,
avoiding the big stuff.

Just basically not talking.

- You want some advice?
- Do I have a choice?

It's up to you to make the first move.
Her mind's already halfway to Iraq.

No, you're right.
I'll figure something out.

Hey. What y'all celebratin'?

This man just made sergeant.

Does the sergeant speak for himself?

Hi. I'm Lindsay.
What's your name?

I'm Trevor.

Tell me more, sergeant Trevor.
I'm very interested.

He's very married.

You're in big trouble, mister.

Hey. I'm not married.

Oh, yeah. What are you?

Private fist class Brian Day
at your service.

Private? As if.

Guess the lady knows dog
meat when she smells it.

Looking for a real man, sweetheart?
I'm navy.

Hey, Gilligan, why don't you and your
girlfriend swim back to the "minnow"?

We can't. We're waiting
for your mama to finish ma--

Knock it off!

Come on! Day! Day, stop!

Stop!

Damn it! Stop!

Trevor! Watch out!

Babe, take him out the back!

Unbelievable, man. Come on.

Come on.

Hold it right there!

The Hump is officially back!

~ Willow's Team ~

{\pos(192,215)}Okay, how's the 10th?

{\pos(192,215)}F.R.G. fund-raiser in the morning,

{\pos(192,235)}Linda Donovan baby shower in
the afternoon. How's the 12th?

{\pos(192,235)}- Re-enlistment ceremony.
- That's the 12th?

{\pos(192,235)}Oh, I'd say the 14th,
but we have a street dedication,

{\pos(192,235)}volunteer recognition ceremony,
and you have a dentist appointment--

{\pos(192,235)}which you're not going to miss again--

{\pos(192,235)}and Emmalin has her hockey
practice from 5:00 to 7:00.

{\pos(192,235)}- How do you do it?
- Do what?

{\pos(192,235)}Organize everything and still
manage to look so damn beautiful.

{\pos(192,235)}I mean it. There's no way
I could do my job without you.

{\pos(192,235)}And?

{\pos(192,235)}And I still feel bad asking you to
babysit Senator Calhoun's widow.

{\pos(192,225)}- It's fine.
- It's only until tomorrow's

{\pos(192,225)}- groundbreaking ceremony.
- We've been over this.

{\pos(192,225)}Jean Calhoun is a national treasure.

{\pos(192,225)}No one's done more
for education and the arts.

{\pos(192,195)}Her husband was a huge supporter of
Fort Marshall. It's an honor.

{\pos(192,215)}I know. But still, it's gotta get old,
showing dignitaries around the post.

It'll be a nice break.
Denise is gonna be with me,

so we'll make it fun.
I have to run.

- Think we have time for a kiss?
- I'll pencil you in for tomorrow.

{\pos(192,215)}Whatcha doing?

{\pos(192,215)}I'm fat.

{\pos(192,215)}- What?
- I'm a fat cow.

{\pos(192,215)}Katie, stop it. You are not.

You have to say that.
You're my mom.

{\pos(192,215)}What I see is a young lady
who is healthy and strong

{\pos(192,215)}and looks great just the way she is.

{\pos(192,215)}Now get dressed and come
downstairs for breakfast.

- I'm not hungry.
- You have to eat.

Breakfast is the most
important meal.

{\pos(192,215)}If it's so important, why do you
just drink coffee in the morning?

{\pos(192,215)}Because... mommies are all grown up,

and they can do what they want.

Breakfast. Now.

{\pos(192,215)}The support center is
the perfect example.

{\pos(192,215)}When the senator made up his
mind, there was no changing it.

Clayton was like a dog with a bone.

- Really?
- Oh, yes.

{\pos(142,265)}He'd leave bite marks
on your hands and your hide.

{\pos(152,265)}And it was that kind of persistence

that made the senator
such a great friend of the army...

And of the fine people
of South Carolina.

Clayton loved this country.

Felt it was his duty to serve
it until the day he died.

- Here you go.
- No, thank you, dear.

Semper paratus. Always prepared.

That's the army motto, isn't it?

Coast guard, actually.

Really?

What's the army again?

"This will defend."

Yes, that's right.

Not very lyrical, is it?

So, dears, what's our schedule?

We have the groundbreaking
tomorrow at 10:00.

And today we tour the post,
and we'll visit an A.F.T.B. class.

- Army Family Team Building.
- Right.

And then we'll finish off with a
cocktail reception at the Holden house.

You can freshen up in between.
We've had your things sent over.

I don't want to be an imposition.

- It's our pleasure.
- Of course.

Our daughter Emmalin is away
for a hockey tournament,

so the house will be unusually quiet.

Very well. I'm your prisoner.

- Take me away.
- I will see you later.

Thank you, General.

And to finish up,
the army wants to be sure

we don't forget what the
team in A.F.T.B. stands for.

Roxy?

What?

Team?

Together...

Everyone...

Together everyone achieves more.

Perfect.

Okay, so I'll see you all next week.
Don't forget your sample budgets.

And I promise it'll be more fun.

Thanks.

Pamela Moran, Roxy Leblanc,
this is Mrs. Jean Calhoun.

- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.

Are you kidding?
The pleasure is ours.

Sorry about the class. It's hard to
make power of attorney sound exciting.

- It was informative.
- It was dull.

Well, yes, a little.

What's next on the tour?

The library and then the commissary.

I was hoping we could
squeeze in the jump tower.

The jump tower?

I don't think there's any
paratrooper training today.

I don't want to watch, dear.
I want to jump.

- Seriously?
- Yes. It looks exhilarating.

Uh, we'll look into that.

How about the firing range?
Perhaps we could blow something up.

Clayton and I used to enjoy that.

That does sound like fun, but, uh,

I know everyone over at the library is
really looking forward to meeting you.

Of course.

First, nature calls.

Down the hall, make a left,
first door on your right.

Thank you.

- We'll meet you out front.
- Lovely.

"Perhaps we can blow something up."

- You guys want to join us?
- Not me.

Riding shotgun with
Calamity Jean sounds fun,

but I have a meeting at Fordham
Academy with the admissions director.

- Fordham's a great school.
- I know.

I gotta make a good first impression.

Oh, you'll do great.
Just be yourself.

No way. I want Finn to get in.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

- Have fun with Jean.
- Bye.

Boys! Boys! Stop! Stop!

Care to give a senator's wife a lift?

You're Mrs. Calhoun, aren't you?

One and the same.

Hop in, ma'am.

- I'll squeeze in back.
- Nonsense.

Plenty of room up front.
Your lap will do just fine.

- Be careful.
- Okay.

There you go.

My, it's big, isn't it?

Pleasure to make your
acquaintance, ma'am.

Yes. Yours, too.

- No sign of her?
- I checked the bathroom twice.

- She didn't come out here.
- It's been 20 minutes.

- Where could she have gone?
- I don't believe this.

We've lost an american icon.

{\pos(192,235)}Just wondering how it's
going with Mrs. Calhoun.

{\pos(192,235)}Uh, it's going.

{\pos(192,225)}Denise and I were thinking of
taking her to lunch at the O. Club.

{\pos(192,225)}Nice.

{\pos(192,225)}- I could ask her for you.
- What?

{\pos(192,225)}- I'm looking at her right now.
- Mrs. Calhoun, right here.

{\pos(192,225)}- Where are you?
- Outside my office.

- Michael, I can explain.
- No need. I can guess.

Okay, we'll be--
we'll be right there.

Bye! Bye, Mrs. Calhoun!
Bye, Mrs. Calhoun!

Bye, boys! Thanks again!

Aren't they darling?

Jean, we were worried about you.

Sorry. I got turned around.

Next thing I knew I was outside
and ran into those nice young men.

And got into their humvee.

Not every day a girl gets
a taxi ride like that.

- Sorry if I caused a fuss.
- Not at all.

Ready for some lunch
at the officers' club?

- Lead the way.
- All right.

Enjoy.

Michael, I am so sorry.
But what could we do?

- She's a nut.
- Yeah, faulty intel.

I thought she was
a doddering old lady.

- Turns out she's the merry widow.
- She needs armed escort, not us.

Just get her to that ceremony tomorrow,
she'll be out of our hair.

- Easy for you to say.
- That's why I'm the general.

When that left foot hits the ground...

When that left foot hits the ground...

I wants to hear that clapping sound.

I want to hear that clapping sound.

- Are you motivated?
- Motivated.

- Fired up?
- Fired up.

- Feeling good?
- Feeling good.

- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, yeah.

What is going on with you?

Get off my case.

What was that, P.F.C. Day?

I said, step it up!

Yes, Sergeant!

Don't be nervous.

Ms. Leblanc?

- I'm Claire Decker.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- This is Finn.
- Hello.

I've heard a lot of nice
things about you, Finn.

This is Ms. Sutton. She's
gonna take you to show-and-tell.

Hi there, Finn. Did you bring
something to show today?

My lightning bug collection.

Nice.

I like beetles, too.

Actually, lightning bugs
are in the beetle family.

I did not know that.

I also collect rocks.
I have lots of them.

I was gonna bring them, but...

Please, sit down.

Can I get you anything to drink?
Uh, water, juice, coffee?

No, thank you, ma'am.

Ms. Leblanc, let me assure
you that this isn't a test.

It isn't?

The purpose of this interview
is to help us determine

whether Finn and Fordham
Academy are a good fit.

That sounds like a test to me.

I understand.

I can tell you that Finn
is real smart and curious.

He loves animals, bugs especially.

Yes, I can see that.

But righ now I'd like
to hear about you.

Me?

At Fordham,
we don't just accept the child.

We accept the family.

Why don't you tell me
something about yourself?

Oh, boy. Okay.

I'm from Alabama,

Tuscaloosa, originally.

My husband Trevor is
a sergeant at Fort Marshall.

He wanted to be here, but he
has special training he couldn't miss.

The army, right?

And do you work outside
the home, Ms. Leblanc?

Roxy. Yes,
I'm a small business owner.

Oh, that's wonderful.

In what line?

Food and beverage management.

Seafood's a specialty.

But I'm never too busy
to get to my boys' school events.

And where's your business located?

It's, um...

It's a bar, actually.
The Hump bar.

- Over on the boulevard?
- Yes, that's the one.

I pass it all the time.
It looks, um, colorful.

I don't think we've ever had
a mother who ran a bar before.

Look, I know I'm not exactly
the poster girl for higher education,

but that doesn't mean that
I don't want the best for my kids.

I understand.

I don't play tennis or speak french

or do whatever it is that
the other moms here do.

I guess what I'm saying is,

I may not be anything special,

but I know that my son is.

And I just want a fair
shake for him. That's all.

I understand.

Shall we continue?

What's going on with you?

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

You're pulling extra duty
for missing formation.

You've been insubordinate.

And what about last night, huh?

Letting those squids get
underneath your skin?

Throwing the first punch?

Right. Nothing's going on.

So what? I'm not some
hotshot soldier like you.

Are you deliberately trying
to sabotage your career?

Because if you are,
you're doing a hell of a job.

What do you know about it, huh?

- You don't know nothing about me.
- So tell me.

Forget it.

Guys like you had it easy your
whole life. You don't understand--

You don't understand how--

Forget it.

I say somethin' funny?

Don't understand, huh?

My mom died when I was 3.

The next day, in between beers,

my father dropped me
off with social workers.

And I was in and out of
Foster homes till I was 7.

I'd kick my old man's ass for that.

Yeah, I didn't have a chance.

He's in prison, doing life for murder.

Can I get a new outfit for the rec
center dance tomorrow night?

No. You've got lots of nice outfits.

- But I want to look hot.
- Hot?

- Can I at least wear heels?
- No.

{\pos(192,225)}- Eye makeup?
- No.

{\pos(192,225)}- Bra?
- What?

{\pos(192,225)}No.

{\pos(192,225)}- Where is this coming from?
- I'm almost 11,

{\pos(192,225)}and my friends Taylor and
Chloe get to wear makeup, too.

{\pos(192,225)}I want to look pretty.

{\pos(192,225)}Honey, you don't need those things
to look pretty, because you are pretty.

{\pos(192,225)}Besides, real beauty
comes from the inside.

That's what ugly
people say to feel better.

Katharine Eileen Moran.

You don't understand 'cause
you don't care how you look.

The park, young lady. Now.

I'm sorry, man.

I didn't know that about your pops.

Yeah.

It's not something
I go around advertising.

My pops ain't in jail,
but he ought to be.

He says I'm just like him--

Never gonna amount to anything.

I'm starting to think maybe he's right.

I'm not good for anything.

Look, you can be like
your dad or not. It's your call.

I don't want to be.

It's just, I don't know, sometimes
it seems like I can't help myself.

Maybe you should talk
to somebody about it.

Nah. I've been seeing this doc.

Piedmont Place--
it's this counseling center off post.

I heard of it.

Doc Price is trying to help,
but I stopped going.

Why?

My car's busted.

I don't have the green to get it fixed.

You could get counseling
on post. It's free.

And let the army think
I'm some kind of a crybaby?

Nah. Doc Price is all
right for me. It's just...

I don't know. Sometimes I feel like
the whole thing's b.s. anyway, you know?

All right, how's this?

I'll drive you to Piedmont
till your car gets fixed.

Yeah? What's the catch?

No more sorry-ass
mopping in those halls.

- It's a deal.
- All right.

Got anything stronger?

Tough day?

I've got a 10 year old going on 30.

Yeah. Katie.
She just asked me for a bra.

Sorry.

I just wish she'd enoy
being a kid a little longer.

I mean, when I was 10,
I liked to climb trees,

- pick fights and play football.
- You still do.

Funny.

I was my father's daughter.

We were really close.

That must've been nice.

Yeah. In fact, he's the one
who gave me "the talk."

You're kidding.

Well, not in detail.
He gave me a book

and told me I could come
to him with questions.

- Did you?
- No.

But it was the thought
that mattered. I knew I could.

I wish Chase were home.

Yeah, I thought he was
supposed to be here by now.

I thought so, too, but Delta.

I don't know how you put up with it--

Not knowing where your husband
is or when he's coming home.

I'd go totally insane.

You learn to live with it.

Marvelous evening. Thank you.

- You were the life of the party.
- Absolutely.

- You must be exhausted.
- Not at all. I found my second wind.

Can we offer you a nightcap?

We have sherry, brandy.

I was thinking more single malt.

Laphroiag?

Lovely.

Rocks?

- Neat, sir, if you please.
- Claudia Joy?

No, I'm gonna have some water.

- Been thirsty all day.
- Thank you.

May you live as long as you like

and have all you like
as long as you live.

The senator used to say that.

To the senator.

Jean, are you all set with your
speech for tomorrow's ceremony?

Oh, I'm mulling over some ideas.

I'm happy to help.

Claudia Joy, you've done
too much already, and it's late.

I'm sure I'm keeping
you and the general up.

I am a bit tired,
now that you mentioned it.

I insist you both go to bed at once.

Don't worry about the old lady.
I can look after myself.

Okay, well, then I guess
we'll say good night then.

I'll take care of the candles.
I'll be turning in shortly, too.

General, you can leave that out.

Yes, ma'am. Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Enjoy.

Ms. Leblanc, this is Mrs. Decker
from Fordham Academy.

I apologize for calling so late,

but I just finished talking with
the admissions committee,

and I am happy to tell you that we can
offer Finn a spot beginning next week.

Ms. Leblanc, are you still there?

Yes, I'm here. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I don't want to see
ungrateful or anything,

but did we qualify
for any scholarship money?

Sorry. I should have
said something earlier.

Yes, Finn's been awarded
a full scholarship.

I can send over an information
packet tomorrow with all the details.

Welcome to Fordham.

Thank you!

Scholarship money! Whoo!

She's down...

Finally.

- What's this?
- Open it.

It's been chilly lately, Joan.

I wanted a break in the weather.

It's a camera.

Video camera.

This small?

Here.

Press this.

Now plug it into the laptop.

Now watch.

"Here's my closeup, mommy."

"I'm so pretty in pink,
don't you think?"

"I love you, mommy.
I miss you."

"I'm being a good girl
for daddy, I promise."

"Look, I'd like to chat
some more, mommy,

"but daddy says
it's time for me to eat,

"and you told me I have to listen to
everything daddy says while you're away."

Let's show mommy what
a good eater you are.

Oh, look at you in your high chair,

just like a big girl.

All right, what are you
in the mood for? Apricot?

Bananas? I know.

Peaches. You love peaches.

That little thing did all this?

Yep.

You don't want to miss what's
going on here when you deploy,

and we don't want to miss you.

I got two of 'em.

We can download every night.

- Roland, I--
- I know.

We okay now?

I thought you were exhausted.

I'm worried about Jean's speech.

Michael, she hasn't
written a single thing.

I don't want her to embarrass
herself or the post.

I appreciate that, but...

I'm just jotting down a few thoughts.

She's a big girl,
and you can't do everything.

I know.

You're right.

You're right. You're right.

I am tired.

The screen is getting blurry.

General Holden.

Just a sec.

Roxy Leblanc.

Hi, honey. What's going on?

Sorry to bother you, but there's...

a little situation at the Hump
that I thought you should be aware of.

What kind of situation?

We'll be right there.

Better get dressed.

- What's going on?
- Oh, don't ask.

Jean? Just checking in.

{\pos(192,225)}Just so you know, we have to
leave in an hour for the ceremony.

Make two copies of everything and then
we can send it off to his insurance.

Trevor, how you doing?

I knew this place sounded familiar.

- You two know each other?
- Oh, yeah.

Dr. Roland Burton, this is P.F.C.
Brian Day. He's a member of my squad.

- Hey, man, pleased to meet you.
- Same.

I have an appointment with Dr. Price.

I'm afraid Dr. Price was just
called off on an emergency.

Just my luck. Sorry
you wasted your time, man.

If you got something on your mind,

we can talk about it
in my office, if you like.

Nah, I don't know.

Buddy, you couldn't be
in better hands. Believe me.

What do you got to lose?

You're right. I'll give it a shot.

Great. This way.

I'd like to welcome you all
to the groundbreaking

of the Clayton J. Calhoun
Soldier Support Center.

The center,

which is set to open
in spring of next year...

Can you make it?

I'll be fine, dear.

As you know,
the Soldier Support Center...

...which will open its doors
in the spring of next year...

- Would you mind?
- Sure.

...will be the home of many much
need programs for soldiers

and their families.

I've jotted some remarks for you.

Thank you, dear.

- Very thoughtful.
- ...and health and legal services...

But I'll just wing it.

...to soldiers and their spouses.

And now...

it is my great privilege and honor

to introduce to you our special guest

and a true american treasure--

Mrs. Jean Calhoun.

Thank you, General Holden,

but it is I who am honored
to be with all of you.

We are here to celebrate
a great American,

Senator Clayton Calhoun.

I wish he could see how you all are
continuing the work he so believed in,

a cause to which he devoted over
a half century of public service.

If Clayton were here with us today...

I know he would turn to the
words of Thomas Jefferson,

who said, "Eternal vigilance
is the price of freedom."

It is our brave men and
women in the armed services

who guarantee our liberty

and to whom we dedicate
this building today.

Clayton would be so thrilled
to know that the soldiers

and their families in Fort
Marshall will soon be able to use...

I understand you helped
a soldier in your squad this morning.

Now the doctor I heard that from would
never share confidential information,

but he did say your sensitivity
to this young warrior's problems

- put him back on track.
- I believe in him, ma'am.

I think he could be a good soldier.

Take a seat, Sergeant.

I've had the privilege of
watching you mature as a soldier,

and I think you have a gift,

a gift as important as any piece of
equipment we have in our arsenal.

Ma'am?

Trevor, I think you'd make
an excellent recruiter.

A recruiter?

I know it's important work, ma'am,

but I want to deploy.

I'd like you to consider
the bigger picture.

Our commander in chief
has encouraged all of us

to hitch our wagons to
something larger than ourselves.

I know that's how
you feel about the army.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I think you can
bring that out in others,

show them how their lives can be changed
for the better by serving their country.

More than ever,
we need to inspire and enlist

the finest men and women we can.

That's how we're gonna
protect our children,

protect future generations.

I never thought about it like that.

Now make no mistake about it,

recruiting is demanding and difficult.

But it can also be
enormously fulfilling.

You don't have
to give me an answer now.

Just think about it.

You sure I was okay?
Not too over the top?

- Oh, not at all.
- No, you were terrific.

Things can get a bit thick
when I get into Thomas Jefferson.

People loved you.

Thank you for everything.

I know I can be a bit of a handful.

- No.
- Don't be silly.

You girls need to work
on your poker faces.

I've arranged a little something
to thank you for all your kindness.

- You didn't have to do that.
- You two will be guests

at the Dream Haven spa this weekend.

Massages, facials,
mani pedis-- the works.

- They're expecting you.
- This weekend?

- Better pack your bags.
- I don't know if I could.

But you can, my dear.

You must.

You have to be spontaneous
every now and then.

Keeps the blood flowing.

If you don't mind my saying so,
you two worry too much.

Go out, have fun.
You need to grab life by the throat

and tell it who's boss,
because before you know it,

the parade's gone by.

- Good-bye, my dears.
- Bye. - Bye.

You are not going to
the dance looking like that.

It looks sexy.

And what does "sexy" mean to you?

Being popular.

Honey, being popular has
nothing to do with being sexy

or what you wear or if
you're tall or short

or fat or thin.

Yeah, right.

You are smart, funny, creative,

someone who's kind to others.

Who you are, how you treat people--

that's what matters,

not that other stuff.

Please believe me.

Honey, I know this is hard,

but I am telling you the truth.

We can talk more
about this later, okay?

Okay, so can I wear this to the dance?

Yes.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

But with a t-shirt
over your belly shirt,

leggings under your skirt
and your hair in a ponytail.

Mom!

Fine.

Bye. Thanks again.

So...

- How was it?
- Fine.

{\pos(192,225)}- Did you dance?
- Yeah.

{\pos(192,225)}With boys?

{\pos(192,225)}They are so immature, mom.

{\pos(192,215)}All they want to do is see who makes
the loudest fart noises with their arms.

{\pos(192,215)}Gross!

{\pos(192,215)}Okay, well, it's 9:00,
so it's time for bed.

I'll be up soon.

I don't know why you're so upset.
We got the full scholarship.

Well, it's not quite full.

I mean, sure, it covers
tuition-- thank god-- but--

according to this, we're still
responsible for Finn's uniform

- and other ancillary fees.
- Like what?

Oh, like a materials fee,

lab fee, field trip fee.

You name it, there is a fee for it.

Rox, come on. We'll manage.

You always say that,
and it drives me crazy.

Well, we always do.

Look, babe, the Hump's doing
better than ever, right?

And I got a pay bump with my promotion.

It only takes one emergency, Trevor--

the car, the dog, anything--
and we're upside-down again.

I don't like feeling like that.

Not to mention, you're gonna
deploy one of these days--

Okay, hold up.

First...

I'm sorry.

Okay. For what?

For this whole finding
a private school thing.

I wasn't around to help,
and you were a real trooper.

That's okay.

You were at sergeant school.

And you're probably right.

We'll manage somehow.

Rox, what would you think
about me taking a job

where I'd be home for you and
the boys for the next three years

and still bring home the bacon?

Are you gonna be an accountant?

No.

How about a recruiter?

Are you serious?

Yeah, I'm really thinking about it.

Well, I'm really listening.

Hello, my wonderful husband.

I am so blessed to have you in my life.

Thank you for being the understanding,
giving man that you are.

Thank you for your
love and Sara Elizabeth.

I'm sorry that I didn't
appreciate your efforts

to help me deal with
my upcoming deployment.

So I want this video
to be a permanent record

of my fierce and
unyielding love for you

and our lives together.

I love you, Roland,

now and forever.

Now come upstairs.

And that's an order.

Can you believe
what she had in her purse?

Oh, I know, it was like
a magician's bag of tricks.

I was afraid what she was
gonna pull out next. Oh!

Is this gonna be a 2-lane
road for the rest of the trip?

Oh, yes, if we're going the right way.

We better be. I'm looking
forward to soaking in that jacuzzi.

You know, they have something there

called sea foam mud therapy.

I have no idea what it is,
but I'm doing it.

They also have cucumber
and avocado wraps,

honey almond scrubs--
though they sound

more like something
you'd order for lunch.

- Denise, could I have a water, please?
- Oh, sure.

Look out!
