"Previously on "armywives"..." "We've got a rhythm." "You saved that soldier last night." " What are you talking about?" " You." "It was like I was seein you for the first time." "it made me remember why I fell in love with you." "Why do you answer every question with a question?" " I'm a psychiatrist." " I'm a journalist." "Then we're gonna have a problem here." "Joan." "I didn't expect you until tonight." "Welcome home." "Sometimes confessing is really about the person who had the affair." "Ai it's the way to get rid of their guilt." "what happened?" "we were all at lunch when general baker had a seizure." "at least vitals are stable." "They think it's an aneurysm." "They're gonna run some tests, rush the results." "You realize this means michael will be the post commander now?" "I need an X.O.I can count on." "I'd like to offer you the job." "laying flat on our backs picking our favorite stars we try shining back from this roof of ours" "but after a while you say," ""it seems pretty far"" "I think you forgot how how bright you are shine shimmer" "and you shine still in your eyes" "when we're 80 years old and you can't see a thing good night." "You mustn't forget how much light you bring" "good night,sweetie." "I start training again tomorrow,0600." "I'm tired. army.wives Season 1 Episode 10" "now that's bad,right?" "Normally,we go at it once,twice sometimes." "Is this about the time I leave?" "Oh,and last thursday three times in one night." "Yep,I think it's about that time." "You sit." "That "man excuse" is no longer accepted here." "Now I'm putting this to all you." "For the first time,trevor and i did not have sex last night." "What do y'all have to say about that?" "I'm impressed." "I'm jealous." "I'm speechless." "I'm not here." "Please leave a message." "Come on.Look,I know it's only one night but I've learned that when the sex stops,it's the beginning of the end." "Well,the sex does change over time, but that doesn't mean it's over." "No,it just means it gets slower." "That happened with jesse,my first husband." "The sex stopped and fighting started." "I don't want that to happen with trevor." "Marriage is about intimacy,not sex." "You've had sex every night for the last two months?" "Does that really happen?" "What about you?" "How many times do you and michael have sex a week?" "What?" "Yes,I asked that!" "How many times a week?" "how many times?" "We've been married 18 years." "Well,that's not a number." "more than two,less than five." "and what about you?" "What's your sex count?" "Oh,I'm still taking messages." "Oh,come on.My husband is gone." "Have some pity." "We're back up to four." "But that's this week." "I hope that can continue." "nice." "Cheers." "Okay,that leaves you." "Well,all I'll say is that our our sex life is reliable." "We have a routine." "I've heard that "routine" is the kiss of death." "sorry." "So when's hannah white get in?" "This afternoon." "Who's hannah white?" "Uh,she's an old friend of mine." "I haven't seen her since derrick's funeral.How's she doing?" "She's good." "She's coming to town for the rose garden ceremony." "Ah,that's right.Derrick's one of the soldiers being honored there." "In fact,I should get going." "Her flight probably just arrived." "Yeah,me,too." "See you guys." "bye." "There you go." "thank you now I don't know how to solve your problem, but I sure as hell know how to shake up a routine." "What?" "Fastest way to a man's zipper-- tight jeans,new haircut." "Finally,you're here." "Hi!" "Oh,it's been way too long." "I know,and for once, it's not a wedding or a funeral." "You look great." "So do you.So do you." "where are your bags?" "Oh,I've got one." "So is there anyone new in your life?" "Oh,a boyfriend?" "I went on one date." "He,uh,talked about his ex-wife the whole time, said she didn't appreciate him enough." "Seriously,it is hard." "Any time I meet somebody," "I compare 'em to derrick." "And who can live up to that?" "No one can replace him, but you will meet someone." "I know I will,but somehow, I just haven't been able to move on." "I-I think attending this rose garden ceremony will help with that,though." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I can see how that would help." "I appreciate your problems,major.As acting commander,this is my decision." "Leaving five days earlier than expected is difficult for everyone but your men are gonna have to be ready." "So working weekends and longer training days is the only answer." "Good afternoon." "Sir,I need to discuss another issue with you." "What's that?" "I just spoke with my congressional liaison." "There's gonna be another friendly fire case brought before congress." "That's the last thing the army needs right now." "It involves someone we both know-- lieutenant colonel derrick white." "There's something that I've been wanting to tell you." "About a month ago,a soldier from derrick's unit came to see me." "He told me that derrick was killed accidentally by an american soldier." "This completely contradicts what the army told me." "Oh,my god." "That can't be right." "Derrick was killed in afghanistan over two years ago." "That's the official report, but one of white's men,corporal blaine, says that derrick was killed by one of our own." "Blaine has been more and more insistent that the army isn't telling the full story." "Are you sure?" "I believe him." "He has nothing to gain by fabricating the story." "He was there.He witnessed derrick's death." "He doesn't want to go to congress, but his attempts at getting the truth failed, so he's going to congress to force an investigation." "So he's gonna testify in front of congress to force the issue?" "yes." "Hannah,isn't there any other way?" "No." "And congress needs to know that derrick's family will not stand for this." "And it gets worse." "I'm going with him." "Okay.Not,not too short.Not too short." "Remember?" "Ah,trust in the scissorhands." "Okay." "Who wants another banana-coconut margarita?" "Not while I'm on duty." "Hey,you guys... thanks." "Claudia joy's doing okay,huh?" "You gotta admire how she's handling things, especially with ms Lenore baker trying to take her down like that." "Yeah,you really think she'd use what happened against claudia joy?" "That's how it works around here sometimes." "Well,what do we do?" "We stick together." "We support claudia joy no matter what." "We deep-fry lenore baker and serve her up with a side of hush puppies." "You're amping up the sex factor already,mrs Sherwood." "Especially when he sees you in them jeans." "Oh,I should return those." "I can't believe I let you talk me into buying 'em." "Excuse me.Aren't you the one with the problem?" "My sex life is fine." "Oh,well,if your sex life is all that, then I am just gonna stop with this makeover and have myself a drink." "Yeah,and we take that whole new look over there and bring it back to the store." "Thursday nights and or sunday afternoons." "Always?" "Really?" "It's just when frank tends to be in the mood." "0700 and 2 -oh,no." "Well,what if you're in the mood one of the other hundred hours?" "Don't you just throw him down and take him?" "No,I don'T." "I couldn't do that." "I mean,frank always starts things off." "It's just the way it's always been, you know?" "It seems to work for us." "That would not work for me." "I got needs of my own." "ah,yes." "I know.We all do." "But,roxy,I hope you know that sex is not the only way you can be close to someone." "let's see it." "Nice." "That's what I'm talking about." "frank?" "Yeah,honey.I'm in here." "Hi,honey." "Hi." "How was your day?" "Oh,this thing is acting up again." "I can't get a wireless signal." "Oh,now what the hell?" "Why those lights going on?" "Oh,who cares?" "Oh,you look... you look different." "Different good?" "Yeah,yeah." "Hey... are we going out?" "Uh,no,I-I thought we could stay in." "Oh,okay,good." "Yeah,'cause you know,I need to fix this." "So what's gonna happen?" "It's gonna be all over the news tomorrow." "The media's gonna report it as another friendly fire cover-up." "You know,most of the families that I counsel can deal with losing someone to friendly fire as long as they're told the truth." "They understand the fog-of-war aspect of combat." "It's collateral damage." "Yeah,but this case is a little bit more complicated." "Hannah was told that derrick died in afghanistan." "Blaine is saying that they were actually in pakistan when derrick was killed." "We're not supposed to be fighting in pakistan." "No,we're not." "My gut tells me that that's the real reason behind the cover-up." "The army is protecting national security as well as our relationship with that country." "Makes sense." "Yeah,I understand the army's position, but,um..." "I still feel for hannah." "I keep getting this image of derrick and michael walking up to us at that new year's eve party at fort carroll." "Oh,I will never forget that." "These two handsome men in tuxedos smiling at us." "Saying,"it's almost midnight." "Close your eyes." "Yeah,and we get our lips ready for that big midnight kiss..." "Only to have those strong arms pick us up." "Oh,it was so romantic,though." "Until they threw us in the fountain and screamed "happy new year!" "Michael swears that was derrick's idea." "Yeah,and derrick swears it was michael'S." "I don't know." "I can't tell you how much your friendship means to me." "Thank you for being so supportive." "Of course." "This has been an emotional day." "Will you tell michael that I stayed up as long as I could?" "You'll see him in the morning." "Okay." "All right.Good night." "All right.Sleep well." "You,too." "That is so hot." "Then giddyap,cowboy,and come get you some." "I would,baby,I would,but I feel like a brick house fell on me." "First day back,and we march 20 miles." "So we're not gonna -if that's okay." "I just can barely keep my eyes open,you know?" "we don't have another choice." "no,that's it." "Michael." "Claudia." "Look,you're asking her to leave our home." "Claudia joy,you are not understanding the magnitude of this." "Hannah is testifying before congress." "The media will turn her into a public critic of the army and the war, and if she stays with us,we will be perceived as supporting her beliefs, and that impression can ruin my career." "You're right." "We have an obligation to the army." "If you want,I will tell hannah." "No." "I should talk to her myself." "That's it." "So you mean even after you got "roxy-ized,"" "you still didn't get laid?" "I think he was confused." "Confused?" "I'd say he was a little slow." "Yeah,I agree.You're strong." "Throw him down." "Yes." "No." "So what about you,ms Roxy?" "How was your trip to the netherlands last night?" "Well,my fellow traveler was too tired." "No!" "Yes.He passed out." "And your evening recap,sir?" "One round of sex talk with theladies is more than enough.Thank you." "Where's claudia joy?" "Oh,I don't know.Her and hannah were supposed to be here." "I hope they come,considering." "What do you mean?" "Uh,it was in the paper this morning." "I'm famous." "I mean,who would have thought?" "look,I don't know how to say this other than to be honest." "It's the timing of everything." "Michael is the acting commander of this post." "Are you asking me to leave?" "You know how much I love you, how much we both love you." "Of all the people I know,I thought for sure, you would be the one who would understand." "Michael can't be seen supporting a critic of the war." "The war?" "I haven't said anything about the war,for or against it." "I think they're lying to me,claudia joy." "Don't you understand that?" "Yes,I do,but I have to support my husband." "And I have to support mine." "You want to know what I think?" "Uh,I think this means "no," marilyn." "the only reason anyone would testify before congress is to get attention." "Attention?" "Her husband died." "She has the right to support him in any way she wants." "Not that way." "I grew up in the military,and no matter what, you do not air your dirty laundry in public." "Hannah white testifying is only gonna make us all look bad." "Because she wants to find out how her husband died?" "Pamela,we are at war,okay?" "Mistakes like that happen." "Our troops need our support right now,not-- not wives testifying at D.C." "Excuse me.Don't you mean widows testifying in D.C.?" "I think she's right." "Pamela's right." "If my husband died,I would want an answer,too." "Nothing she says to congress is gonna bring her husband back." "Okay,is this you talking or frank?" "Because apparently what frank thinks is the only thing that matters." "Ladies,this is clearly a complicated issue." "We're not gonna find a solution right now." "So why don't we just agree to disagree?" "So are you telling me,roxy leblanc, that you don't have an opinion on this?" "No." "I don't know what the hell is going on,and I don't care." "All I know is,I've never seen you or denise this upset,much less at each other." "So whatever stupid army rule this is,it can't be that important." "You know what,roxy?" "You don't get off that easy." "Sometimes these things matter." "And you know what?" "You just can't play the new girl this time." "where you at?" "Where are you,joan?" "I'm right behind you." "come on!" "I see you found a spot you like." "I did." "What took so long?" "where's that army training?" "It's my bike." "Oh,that's what it is." "Always the machinery." "this was a great idea." "Thank you for supporting me through all of this." "You've been there every step of t he way,and I really appreciate it." "You're welcome." "This is,like,the first saturday I've had off in years." "but?" "but I almost feel guilty enjoying myself." "Oh,we can always go." "Uh,not that guilty." "good,'cause I got something I want to read you." "I was going through some old boxes,and I found this." "december 11 1998," ""Had another date with joan walker today." ""She wore a blue dress." ""Every time I see her, she gets more and more beautiful." ""She told me she wanted to make a difference in the world." ""Everyone says that,"but for the first time,I believe it." ""And that's when I realized I've never been in love as much as I am now." "I almost forgot who that girl was." "I didn'T." "I love you." "I love you." "Trevor?" "sorry I'm so late again." "It's okay." "Where are the kids?" "Sleepover." "Hey,have you heard about that whole hannah white thing?" "Yeah,why?" "Pamela got really mad at me today not understanding why it's such a big deal." "Back in alabama,I think me and my friends had one political talk a year, and it was usually over which candidate was hotter." "well,rox,it's always a big deal when the army gets slammed in public." "You know,there's a lot of guys that think blaine should be kicked out for testifying." "Oh,god." "But it sounds like the army lied." "Yeah,it does... and that sucks." "Ohh... oh,my god." "that is awful." "It's okay.It's okay." "That stump that looks like hamburger helper is not okay." "You need to see a doctor." "No." "That's the last thing I can do." "I already raised enough flags with my knee." "What I need to do is get in shape before I deploy." "If you died like derrick did, how would you feel if I went before congress?" "Well,being dead,I wouldn't feel much." "but if you want the truth," "I'd be proud of you... damn proud." "But I could never say that in public." "What you doing?" "I threw hannah out of our house because you said what she was doing was wrong." "What else could I have done?" "You could have told me the truth." "I did what was right for this family, for our lives here on post." "You did what was right for you and the army." "Hey,pamela,are T.J.And finn still going to the roller rink with your kids tonight?" "Are you speakin' to me?" "No." "Well,I recognize your voice, and that was you talkin'." "So are you still not talkin'to denise,either?" "Roxy,I think this is a big deal." "Sometimes you gotta take a stand on things." "Fine." "Here's my stand." "Hannah white's husband died." "It could happen to any one of us you,me,denise even marilyn and angie over there,standing and pretending they don't know each other." "It's our worst nightmare." "So why are we all fighting'?" "We're in this together." "anything else,sir?" "We've been fielding calls all day about the rose garden memorial ceremony.sir." "With hannah white attending,there'll be too much press,pulling focus." "We need to cancel it." "Can you handle that for me,please?" "I don't think that's a good idea,sir." "Why is that?" "With the press there, canceling the event is only gonna make the army look worse." "The event has to go on,and hannah white has to be allowed to attend just like any other widow." "How can you say that?" "She is compromising the army." "Because I support her,sir." "I understand the army's need to protect national security, but people shouldn't have to go to congress to get a straight answer either,sir." "As your X.O.,I support you,sir, and I will follow your lead." "But with all due respect, th sometimes our integrity is all we have." "If my views make me an unsuitable number two,I understand,sir." "When I asked you to take this position," "I told you I needed someone I could trust, wouldn't give me spin." "You're right,burton." "I won't cancel it." "all right,let's go!" "Move it!" "Let's go.Let's move it!" "We're almost there!" "Keep it going." "Give me a formation!" "Sergeant hendrix,could I talk to you about my husband,sir?" "And you are?" "Roxy leblanc." "I'm married to P.F.C.Leblanc,I take it." "Yes." "Look,I'm sure I'm breaking all sorts of rules here,but I have to." "See,trevor's so dedicated to his training that he tore his feet up." "He can barely walk." "His socks are all bloody." "And so what should I do about it?" "Well,I made an appointment for him at the doctor tomorrow, and he won't go 'cause he has to train." "So would you please give him the day off?" "Oh,sure." "Well,why doesn't he take the week off?" "Look,I feel responsible,okay?" "He--trevor hurt his knee tripping over our kid's toy." "Just let him go." "You can have him right back." "I will take it under advisement." "Leblanc!" "What are you doing here?" "Making the first move." "Look,I'm opinionated, and I got a big mouth." "I'm really sorry if I hurt you.Thank you." "I'm sorry,too." "I was gonna study,but why don't you join me instead?" "Look,I know you think I'M..." "I'm pretty conservative and I don't have opinions of my own, but the thing is,frank and i have been married for 18 years and things have always been one way." "Well,you're working at the hospital." "That's something new." "Yeah,that was not easy." "I--frank didn't marry a nurse." "He married a woman who was happy to quit nursing to be a wife and a mother" "Look,um,that other stuff..." "I know you and roxy think that I should make the first move, but that's also changing a big part of our relationship." "So... do you want to make the first move... sometimes?" "Yeah." "I just don't know what he'll do." "You want my big,fat opinion?" "okay." "You're afraid he'll leave you if you change too much." "But you can't stop changing." "So if you don't tell him what you want, you could end up unhappy and wanting to leave him." "So give the man a chance." "Long day?" "Should I call someone and complain?" "Yeah,you do that." "I have a surprise for you." "Stopped by the P.X.,On my way home from work, in your article was finally in." "I picked up five copies for the family." "That's great,joan.Thanks." "Honey,you really impressed her." "Just listen to this." ""With his self-deprecating sense of humor "and eyes that offer more than a glimpseli "into this modest doctor's soul, one would never imagine "dr." "Roland burton is one of the leading experts "on post-traumatic stress disorder, not to mention"... are you being self-deprecating again?" "No,I just need you to stop." "what?" "what?" "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "What?" "I'll send a driver for you for the memorial tomorrow." "I'm not going,michael." "This one you have to do on your own." "Oh,trevor,you look horrible." "You shouldn't have gone to sergeant hendrix today." "You humiliated me." "Rox,you were so far out of line, in like... a hundred different ways." "I'm sorry." "I was just trying to help."
