"If you can't pay cash for it, then you can't buy it." "I've arranged an army emergency relief loan, but that's not gonna go very far unless you guys change your habits." "Look, it's not that complicated." "The most important thing is that you set a budget and stick to it." "Just figure out what you can live on and what you can live without."

"I need two beers and a sex on the beach." "Coming up." "You know how to work a register?" "Yeah." "What's sex on the beach?" "One thing at a time, rookie." "Hey, if I'm gonna learn this job, I'm gonna learn it right." "You'll start as a bar back, then work your way up if you want." "Look, I'm a fast learner, Roxy." "I may be ignorant, but I'm not stupid, okay?" "Once Hector and I pay off all our bills," "I'm never going into debt again." "I want to make you proud you hired me." "So..." "What's sex on the beach?" "Okay, pay attention." "♪ 1 1/2 ounces vodka," "1/2 an ounce peach schnapps, 2 ounce orange juice," "2 ounces cranberry." "♪" "Shake and bake." "(Ice clatters)" "Pass me one of those tall glasses." "♪" "Little umbrella." "Sex on the beach." "(Laughs)" "Boom." "(Kevin) So let me understand this." "Captain Galassini was observed kissing another woman at the assembly point the other night." "Yes, Sir." "And I did some digging." "She actually lives with that woman off post." "I see." "From what I can gather, there have always been rumors about Galassini, but nothing confirmed." "I just thought you'd like to know, Sir." "And now that I know..." "(Sighs)" "What do you suggest I do?" "Well, Sir, I believe we have a technical out regarding the bronze star." "The African tribe Captain Galassini dealt with was not strictly identified as an opposing foreign force at the time of her mediation." "Even though they were pointing automatic weapons at our troops?" "As I said, Sir, it is a technicality." "But I've checked with a friend at JAG." "He says we would be on solid ground to withdraw the recommendation." "You have any idea the raw courage it took for Captain Galassini to do what she did?" "She saved lives that day, major." "Most likely prevented an international incident." "We should thank God we have soldiers like her." "But instead, you want me to penalize her because she happens to be gay." "I just thought that" "Well, you thought wrong." "The army tells me I may not discriminate on the basis of gender preference, and I will not." "But, Sir, you have been quoted as" "I don't care how I have been quoted." "The army has clearly stated its policy, and I will not tolerate anybody in my command who tries to undermine that policy." "Is that understood?" " Yes, Sir." " Good." "Now get outta here before I throw you out." "(Door opens)" "(Inhales deeply)" "(Exhales)" "Shh." "(Fussing)" "Shh." "Frank, she'll fall asleep if you put her in the crib." "(Chuckles)" "Yeah." "I guess I just like holding her." "(Continues fussing)" "Come on." "Want to give it a shot?" "Come on." "Ohh, sweetheart, shh." "(Continues fussing)" "Shh." "(Continues fussing)" "Shh." "(Continues fussing)" "Mm." "Shh, shh, shh." "Oh." "Oh." "(Continues fussing) It's okay." "(Cell phone rings)" "(Sighs)" "(Beeps)" "Yeah." "Colonel Sherwood." "(Continues fussing)" "All right." "I'll be right there." "What is it?" "No idea." "(Continues fussing)" "Come in, Frank." "Shut the door." "I'm not sure if you're aware of the latest developments concerning Narubu." "(Kevin) This deployment's gonna need an awful lot of clarification." "And?" "Well, apparently there's some problem if you're staying within AFRICOM protocol... (Woman) Details continue to emerge in this story of the American aide worker who claims U.S. troops abandoned a dozen orphans in the African nation of Narubu." "Rachel Miller of Fair Haven, Vermont, warned members of the 32nd Airborne Division that the children would face violence if left behind." "After the army pulled out, armed militia arrived at the orphanage and assaulted the children." "Miller managed to escape carrying the youngest child in her arms." "A later search of the orphanage by Naruban authorities discovered the bodies of four children." "Five more are missing." "The 32nd Airborne is commanded by major General Kevin Clarke, who was directing operations in Narubu at the time of the alleged incident." "(Telephone ringing)" "The defense department has yet to officially comment on the allegation." "Hello." "How'd you get this number?" "No." "No comment." "If you want to talk to General Clarke, you need to call the Public Affairs office." "(Beeps)" "(Sighs)" "(Slams phone down)" "(Telephone rings)" "(Ring)" "(Ring)" "(Ring)" "(Ring)" "(Pills rattle)" "(Ring)" "(Ring)" "(Ring)"
