"Yeah." "I mean, losing you and the others, that's one thing." "Losing a way of life?" "Oh, come on." "Cheer up." "Look, for the first time in decades, the mission doesn't come first." "You're calling the shots now, not Uncle Sam." "Yeah." "I guess I am." "(Joan) The weather service tells us, as of right now, that Charleston is expected to get hit tomorrow night with only the outer bands of the hurricane." "But even that means heavy rains, strong winds, possible storm surges, and microbursts." "Officer Pamela Moran of Metro PD is here this morning, subbing for Sergeant Rice, to fill us in on an important update on our communication protocol." "Thank you, Colonel Burton." "During our last drill, we had difficulties communicating between agencies." "So for hurricane Nina, if the primary frequency gets stepped on, tac three is now the first alternate."

"You want to buy the place." "I said I was interested, yes." "It's the best bar for miles." "Of course you'd be interested." "We have a live band that plays three nights a week, and Chief makes the best gumbo anywhere, so you'll want to keep him on for sure." " Hey, Chief, can you" " No, that-- that won't be necessary." "All my restaurants use the same standard menu." "Oh, y-you're a chain?" "Three locations so far and growing." "Plus, we use prerecorded music, so that stage won't be necessary either." "I mean, you can take that out and easily fit three more tables, maybe four." "But the soldiers love the music." "What soldiers?" "Fort Marshall's closing." "♪" "Oh, yeah." "I keep forgetting that part." "Yeah." "♪" "(Tanya) Mr. Brodsky, you have to take your heart medication." "I feel fine." " And that's great, but you still have to take" " I said no!"

"She's a combat vet just like you." "You're joking." "Afghanistan, 23rd airborne." "(Sighs)" "The sooner you listen to her, the sooner you get outta here." "Now take your pills." "That's an order." "Yes, ma'am." "(Woman) Hospital X-ray tech, ICU." "(Speaks indistinctly)" "Thanks." "You're so good with him." "Oh, he just wants someone to listen to him, like most patients." "What am I gonna do when you're gone?" "Get out of the army and finish college, like we discussed." "You know what I mean." "You'll be fine." "I'm just a phone call away if you need me, always." "(Gus) Nurse!" "Nurse!" "He's all yours." "(Laughs)" "(Indistinct conversations)" "Pamela." "What are you doing on post?" "IOC meeting." "I was filling in for my supervisor." "Oh, hurricane stuff, huh?" "Yeah, uh, speaking of which, I was at your house yesterday." "Looks like it's taken a direct hit already." "Yeah, tell me about it." "You want my opinion?" "Roxy's in major denial." "What are you talking about?" "Well, I was the same way before my first PCS." "Hell, I was hanging pictures and buying houseplants a week before we moved." "Well... (Sighs)" "I know she's not happy about it, but y" "She's stalling, Trevor." "You need to help." "Pack some boxes yourself, get her going, and for God sake, just pay someone to clean the house." "You leave that to Roxy, and the MPs will never let you out of Fort Marshall." "I don't know." "Maybe that's her plan." "(Laughs) I gotta go." "Thanks." "Mm-hmm." "(People speaking indistinctly)" "(Hums)" "Roxy." " Oh, hey, Claudia Joy." " Hey." "We're still on for Molly's party tomorrow, right?" "Absolutely." "Actually, I'm here to pick up a few more things." "Oh, good." "I cannot believe she's a year old already." "I know." "Having a party yourself?" "What?" "That's a lot of groceries." "Oh, yeah." "It's just the weekly boatload." " But you're moving in a few days." " Mm-hmm." "Roxy, you do know you have to leave your refrigerator clean when you go, right?" "Yeah." "Your house has to pass inspection." "Which is the craziest thing I've ever heard." "It's not like anyone's gonna live in it again." "Well, we don't know what will happen to the facility, but the army has a very detailed list of things you have to do before you move out." "I know-- Spackle the nail holes..." "Repaint the walls, clean the dirty carpets... (Laughs)" "Remove grease stains from the driveway." "It's ridiculous, and who's got the time for that?" "Well, um, I mean, you've known about this for a while, right?" "I know, and it'll get done." "You need help?" "No, no, no, thanks." "I-I got it under control." " I'll see you tomorrow." " Yes." "Okay." "Scrape." " Right." " Bye." "Bye." "(Roxy) Trevor?" "Back here." "You're home early." "What are you doing?" "I am helping you out." "Okay, so we got three piles." "We got keep, donate, and toss." "Ugh!" "Wh-what are you doing?" "Thanks, but I don't need your help." " Yeah, but it" " Trevor..." "Um" " Look, I've got a system, okay?" "I'm packing one room at a time." "Babe, nothing's ready." "That is not true." "I've just been reorganizing a few things." "Just s-stop, stop." "Look at me." "You're overwhelmed." "I get it." "So let me help." "I am not overwhelmed." "If people would just quit bugging me... (Chuckles)" "Okay." "So talk to me about the hump." "You had another buyer today, right?" "Total jerk." "Did he make an offer?" "Yeah, but I turned him down." "What?" "He wanted to lowball me." "Rox, it..." "Okay, in this economy and with the post closing, we're lucky to get any offers." "Well, I wouldn't have sold to him anyway." "Why not?" "Because he wanted to make a lot of stupid changes." "Well, if the man buys it, he can do whatever he wants with it." "Well, he wasn't gonna buy it, so don't worry about it." "And I'm not gonna just give the bar away, economy or no economy." "(Inhales deeply)" "Well, I have some good news." "Mm-hmm." "I was looking online, and I found some pretty nice homes near Fort Hope." "We can call about 'em tomorrow." "I told you, I want to live on post." "And I've told you ten times, that's probably not gonna happen." "We gotta be realistic." "Realistically, I think the army owes us." "I mean, they're making us give up everything here." "Roxy, the army doesn't owe us anything." "Look, the truth is, is we're moving to Fort Hope in a few days, and we're not ready." "We're not packed, we need to find a home," " and we gotta sell the hump bar." " I know that." "Great." "So what can I do to help?" "You can stop talking to me like a child." "I told you, I'll handle it." "(Molly coos)" "(Giggles)" "You never knew him, Molly, but..." "Mm, if Jeremy was still alive, he would be very happy for you on your birthday today." "(Chuckles) Ahh." "Yes, he would." "Mm." "He would've helped you blow out the candles and..." "Open your presents and..." "Oh, D." "I just can't help thinking about what it would be like if he hadn't" "Yeah." "(Sighs deeply)" "Yeah, I do, too." "What a good brother he would've been..." "(Chuckles)" "(Fusses)" "Husband... father." "(Inhales and exhales)" "Well, he was a good son." "That's just gonna have to be enough." "Come on, D. We should go." "Mnh-mnh." "Mnh-mnh." "No, just a little bit longer." "(Molly fusses)" "(Whispers) Hey, babe." "(Fusses)" "What's this?" "I'm hosting Molly's birthday party this afternoon, remember?" "No." "Oh, I told you." "I'm sure you did." "(Chuckles)" "Yes, now you need to do your job and keep that hurricane away." "Latest intel is that we won't get anything till late tonight." "How bad?" "Don't know." "I'm hoping just showers." "Yeah, me, too." "Can you believe Molly is 1 year old?" "(Laughs)" "No." "I mean, think about where we all were a year ago." "(Cell phone chirps)" "I was in Afghanistan, Emmalin was in high school..." "Claudia Joy?" "Oh, sorry, honey." "Um, e-mail from Grace." "Grace Dennigan Shuster." "We went to Harvard Law together." "Right." "Well, she made a few calls for me, and guess what." "There's an opening at Decker, Alexy, and White in New York." "They want me to come in for an interview." "That was fast." "I know." "It's only an interview, Michael." "But can you imagine, living in Manhattan?" "We'd be near Emmalin, we could visit on weekends." "Eh, if we weren't too busy going to Broadway shows and drinking champagne." "(Laughs) Michael." "I think it sounds great." "Seriously." "I'm also contacting classmates in San Francisco." "We've always talked about going there someday." "Mm." "I know where I'd like to go right now." "Michael..." "I have a party to get ready for, and you have to go to work." "I just want to go on the record." "Noted." "How about we have a, um, sidebar in chambers later?" "(Laughs)" "(Laughs)" "Absolutely." "Hmm." "See you later." "All right." "Almost done." "Good, 'cause my arms are killing me." "Mom, can I go to Byron's, please?" "Finn, you are like a broken record." "But his mom said I could." "Finn, you can't." "We have Molly's birthday party to go to." "Really, with this storm coming in?" "It's not supposed to hit until tonight." "Besides, it's probably gonna be a big nothing, just like the last time we went through all this nonsense." "Ahh." "Okay, that's it." "Ohh." "Now can you take me to Byron's?" "Buddy, give it a rest." "But he's my best friend." "Mom, Finn's gonna drive everyone nuts at the party." "I mean, Molly's just a baby." "She won't know if he's there or not." "Take him." "Please." "(Tool whirring)" "(Man) Nail those shutters." "I'd do it, but I told Colonel Sherwood I'd help with the sandbag detail." "(Hammering, man speaking indistinctly)" "Okay, Finn." "I will take you." "Yes!" "Whoo-hoo!" "(Michael) Where are we with Safe Haven plans?" "All set, sir." "Arrangements have been made for all aircraft to be accommodated at Fort Bliss and Fort Campbell." "Let's get 'em in the air." "I know it's early, but I'd rather burn a little fuel now than get caught later on." "Yes, sir." "What about post infrastructure?" "Uh, 1st engineers have provided materials for all homes and buildings to be boarded up." "We're also coordinating with Charleston DWP." "To maintain the local grid." "Evacuation measures?" "Well, since Fort Marshall is sited above the flood plane, we don't anticipate the need to evacuate on-post personnel." "Nevertheless, we are staging our gymnasiums and schools as shelters for off-post personnel, should the need arise." "Well, let's hope it doesn't." "Yes, sir." "(Children laughing)" "(People speaking indistinctly)" "(Molly fusses)" "(Roland) Sara Elizabeth." "(Roxy) Sorry, sorry, sorry." "I had to drop Finn off at a friend's house across the bridge." "(Baby-talk voice) Happy birthday, birthday girl." "I hope you like it." " Yeah." " Hey." "Aww." "Thank you so much." "(Children laughing and speaking indistinctly)" "You all brought Molly way too much." "Oh, don't be silly." "Babies are meant to be spoiled." "Thanks." "As long as they don't grow up to be spoiled brats." "(Pamela) Well, only army brats allowed." "Ugh." "I do not want to hear the word "army" right now." "What are we drinking?" "Uh, lemonade." " That's it?" "(Pamela laughs)" " Roxy." "Fine." "Make mine a double." "Anything to take my mind off this move." "Um, Roxy... we need to talk." " About what?" " The move." "Why?" "We know you're having problems." "(Children continue speaking indistinctly)" "Is this an intervention?" "Pamela, what did you say?" "Just that your PCS was coming up, and you're not ready." "Yes, I am." "I'm just a little-- stressed?" "Yes, exactly." "I'll get it together." "(Children continue speaking indistinctly)" "You know, studies show that moving is one of the top stressors in a person's life." "Well, there you go." "See?" "No big deal." "We've all been there, Roxy." "We know how you feel." "Overwhelmed, frustrated." "Sad." "Hey, try angry, scared." "Roxy, you don't have to pretend with us." "(Children continue speaking indistinctly)" "I'm gonna miss you guys so much." "I've known it was gonna happen for months." "I just... didn't want to believe it." "(Children continue speaking indistinctly)" "Yeah, none of us did." "Well, we've been together so long." "So tomorrow, we're coming over to help you pack." "Yeah." "(Laughs)" "And look at houses online and schools for the boys." "And we'll clean out your fridge." "(Chuckles)" "(Cell phone chirps)" "Sorry." "Oh, work." "(Second cell phone beeps)" "(Beep)" "I'm being recalled for duty." "Me, too." "I have to go to the hospital." "Why?" "What's going on?" "The hurricane's turned." "It's coming sooner than they thought." "(Sighs)" "(Indistinct conversations)" "How are the kids?" "They scared?" "(Roland) No." "They're playing around." "How are you?" "Still hoping this thing veers away." "But we're ready." "As ready as we can be anyway." "Ma'am?" "Gotta go." "Tell the kids mommy loves them." "Will do." "Be safe, roland." "You, too, Colonel." "I understand." "Yes." "Okay, I love you, too." "All right, Michael says we have a few hours before the storm hits." "Good." "I'll call you from the hospital." "All right." "Okay." "Happy birthday, sweetheart." "Mwah." "(Baby-talk voice) Mommy will come home as soon as she can." "(Claudia Joy and Denise) Aw." "Don't worry." "We'll have fun." "(Normal voice) Thank you." " Right?" "Yes, sir." "Bye." "(Pamela)" " Hey, Rox." " Mm-hmm." " Can the kids stay with you?" "Of course." "I just have to pick Finn up first." "Are you sure that's a good idea, Rox, with the traffic and all?" "I mean, why don't you just pick him up once this thing blows through?" "No way." "I'm getting my son before all hell breaks loose." "They can all stay with me till Roxy gets back." " Thank you." " Yeah, I'll stay, too." "Great." "Thanks, roland." "You hear that, you two?" "You're gonna stay at Mrs. Holden's for now, so I'm expecting a good report." "The same goes for you." "(Sighs) Mom, I want to go with you." "I want to see the storm." "We will watch it at home on TV." "Meanwhile, you're the oldest, so I expect you to help out." "Yes, ma'am." "Okay." "I'll be back before you know it." "When will you be back?" "Uh, I don't know, sweetheart." "People need help when there's a bad storm, so it could be a while." "Okay?" "Give me big kiss." "Bye." " Thank you." " Sure." "Okay." "Who wants some cake?" "(David, Lucas, and Katie)" " I do." " Let's go." "You want some cake?" "Want some cake?" "Want some cake?" "You want some cake?" "(Roland) Ahh." "Want some cake, too?" "Yeah?"

"Everyone else, I suggest you let your loved ones know you won't be home for the duration of the storm." "(Lightning crashes)" "(Indistinct conversations)" "Hey, what's going on?" "Where are you taking me?" "What-- what are you doing?" "C-can you answer my question?" "Where are you taking me?" "What-- what" " Hey, you-- You can't leave me here." " Gus." " Hey, somebody help!"
