Save my chair for me.

960

01:
06:15,179 -- 01:06:16,304

Gentlemen...

961

01:
06:16,347 -- 01:06:17,389

Attention!

962

01:
06:18,391 -- 01:06:19,474

Aw...

963

01:
06:21,394 -- 01:06:22,811

At ease.

964

01:
06:22,853 -- 01:06:24,354

I'll go with you, hold on.

965

01:
06:24,397 -- 01:06:26,231

And leave Holly alone

with this wolf pack?

966

01:
06:26,273 -- 01:06:27,440

Mmmm...

967

01:
06:34,657 -- 01:06:36,950

That girl was a train-wreck

three weeks ago.

968

01:
06:36,993 -- 01:06:38,660

Alex really shaped her up,

didn't she?

969

01:
06:38,703 -- 01:06:40,328

You shoulda married her, boss.

970

01:
06:40,371 -- 01:06:42,330

It should be clear

to all by now, Stenny,

971

01:
06:42,373 -- 01:06:43,957

that I'm nowhere near worthy.

972

01:
06:44,000 -- 01:06:44,958

Screw that.

973

01:
06:45,001 -- 01:06:46,501

She never really

liked you anyway.

974

01:
06:46,544 -- 01:06:48,128

- True.

- Thanks, Bill.

975

01:
06:48,170 -- 01:06:50,255

Has anyone ever

met her husband?

976

01:
06:52,425 -- 01:06:54,342

Should I come in

and talk to your grandma?

977

01:
06:55,344 -- 01:06:57,220

No, she'll be way in

her cups by now.

978

01:
06:58,097 -- 01:07:00,140

I'll pick you up around ten then?

979

01:
07:00,182 -- 01:07:02,058

I think I'll march

up to your place.

980

01:
07:02,101 -- 01:07:04,060

It'll help take the edge off.

981

01:
07:04,103 -- 01:07:06,896

Just don't wear those clothes

and everything will be fine.

982

01:
07:10,359 -- 01:07:11,985

What if I'm not ready?

983

01:
07:12,028 -- 01:07:14,195

They'll make you ready.

That's theirjob.

984

01:
07:15,239 -- 01:07:16,865

What if I don't make it?

985

01:
07:16,907 -- 01:07:18,992

Well, as my mom used to say,

986

01:
07:19,035 -- 01:07:23,038

"Failure ain't the falling down,

it's the staying down."

987

01:
07:25,041 -- 01:07:27,959

She died when I

was around your age.

988

01:
07:29,086 -- 01:07:30,837

I don't know if you knew that.

989

01:
07:31,630 -- 01:07:32,756

I did.

990

01:
07:34,091 -- 01:07:35,800

Heard she was a real beauty.

991

01:
07:38,054 -- 01:07:39,512

She was.

992

01:
07:42,975 -- 01:07:46,061

- Get some sleep.

- I'll try.

993

01:
08:09,752 -- 01:08:11,544

What the hell is this?

994

01:
08:13,839 -- 01:08:16,424

I was waitin' around

hoping you'd tell me.

995

01:
08:22,348 -- 01:08:24,140

So...

996

01:
08:25,392 -- 01:08:26,643

Tell me.

997

01:
08:28,104 -- 01:08:29,395

Is all that true?

998

01:
08:31,315 -- 01:08:32,941

What the f*** have you done?

999

01:
08:33,025 -- 01:08:34,984

[laughter]

1000

01:
08:37,446 -- 01:08:38,905

Come on.

1001

01:
08:38,948 -- 01:08:40,698

Flag's flyin'!

1002

01:
08:40,741 -- 01:08:42,200

We're home!

1003

01:
08:42,785 -- 01:08:43,993

Whoa!

1004

01:
08:44,036 -- 01:08:45,954

What's with all the carpeting?

1005

01:
08:45,996 -- 01:08:47,122

We'll take a tour tomorrow.

1006

01:
08:47,164 -- 01:08:49,249

Come on, you can

sleep in Nicky's room.

1007

01:
08:49,291 -- 01:08:52,377

Nicky... How's he doing?

1008

01:
08:52,419 -- 01:08:53,795

He's giving 'em hell.

1009

01:
08:53,838 -- 01:08:56,297

I want to ask you abut Saffron.

1010

01:
08:56,340 -- 01:08:57,465

What?

1011

01:
08:57,508 -- 01:09:00,969

Why are you

sending her away to them,

1012

01:
09:01,011 -- 01:09:03,388

after what they did to you?

1013

01:
09:03,430 -- 01:09:05,223

When somebody falls,

1014

01:
09:05,266 -- 01:09:07,308

somebody's gotta take their place.

1015

01:
09:08,144 -- 01:09:10,812

You didn't fall.

1016

01:
09:12,815 -- 01:09:14,858

I left them one short.

1017

01:
09:14,900 -- 01:09:16,943

Which one?

1018

01:
09:19,196 -- 01:09:21,114

C'mon, take those clothes off.

They're filthy.

1019

01:
09:21,699 -- 01:09:22,782

I gotta pee.

1020

01:
09:26,287 -- 01:09:30,039

OK, c'mon, it's this way.

1021

01:
09:35,421 -- 01:09:37,589

Ahhh!!!

1022

01:
09:39,592 -- 01:09:40,717

What is it!

1023

01:
09:40,759 -- 01:09:42,510

You got shot.

1024

01:
09:42,553 -- 01:09:45,471

Oh, I thought I had measles...

1025

01:
09:45,514 -- 01:09:46,806

You're OK.

1026

01:
09:49,894 -- 01:09:51,686

Oooh, your neck...

1027

01:
09:51,729 -- 01:09:53,271

Yeah, I know.

1028

01:
09:53,314 -- 01:09:54,480

Let me see what you got.

1029

01:
09:54,523 -- 01:09:57,400

Damn, you're a leopard!

1030

01:
09:57,443 -- 01:10:00,069

Stenny fragged you good.

1031

01:
10:12,124 -- 01:10:15,335

He kissed my hand

after you left.

1032

01:
10:15,377 -- 01:10:16,836

Leo?

1033

01:
10:16,879 -- 01:10:18,421

Yes.

1034

01:
10:18,464 -- 01:10:20,256

And now I kiss you.

1035

01:
10:23,219 -- 01:10:24,677

OK...

1036

01:
10:24,720 -- 01:10:26,971

Now everybody's happy...

1037

01:
10:30,893 -- 01:10:33,561

Everybody gets what they wanted.

1038

01:
10:33,604 -- 01:10:35,438

That's nice.

1039

01:
10:35,481 -- 01:10:37,982

- Come on.

- Where you going?

1040

01:
10:38,025 -- 01:10:39,484

To bed.

1041

01:
10:39,526 -- 01:10:41,194

Oh, no.

1042

01:
10:41,237 -- 01:10:42,362

OK.

1043

01:
10:45,699 -- 01:10:46,991

Go to sleep.

1044

01:
11:12,268 -- 01:11:13,768

She late?

1045

01:
11:13,811 -- 01:11:14,936

Yeah.

1046

01:
11:16,605 -- 01:11:18,314

Why don't you go get her?

1047

01:
11:19,108 -- 01:11:20,566

No.

1048

01:
11:21,860 -- 01:11:24,737

Horse to water kind of thing?

1049

01:
11:24,780 -- 01:11:25,905

Basically.

1050

01:
11:29,994 -- 01:11:32,912

I think I drunk-dialed Leo

last night.

1051

01:
11:32,955 -- 01:11:34,998

Uh, oh.

1052

01:
11:37,459 -- 01:11:39,919

And I offer a blanket mea culpa

1053

01:
11:39,962 -- 01:11:42,755

for any other stupidity

that may have transpired.

1054

01:
11:42,798 -- 01:11:44,424

You didn't break anything.

1055

01:
11:45,759 -- 01:11:48,261

So, what's next for you?

1056

01:
11:49,263 -- 01:11:52,140

I gotta get a job.

1057

01:
11:52,182 -- 01:11:54,309

I was just short of my pension.

1058

01:
11:55,561 -- 01:11:57,603

God, those idiots.

1059

01:
11:58,731 -- 01:12:01,107

I wish ignorance was painful.

1060

01:
12:11,952 -- 01:12:13,453

Where are you?

1061

01:
12:16,332 -- 01:12:18,041

OK...

1062

01:
12:18,083 -- 01:12:21,461

Give me the address.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

1063

01:
12:23,339 -- 01:12:24,464

By the airport?

1064

01:
12:45,361 -- 01:12:46,778

- Hi, Joe.

- Hey.

1065

01:
12:53,994 -- 01:12:55,870

You wanna sit down?

1066

01:
12:57,623 -- 01:13:01,709

I, uh, pulled a few favors to

get a flight routed through here.

1067

01:
13:01,752 -- 01:13:04,462

They actually gave me leave.

Can you believe that?

1068

01:
13:04,505 -- 01:13:07,131

Just to come home

and file for divorce.

1069

01:
13:07,174 -- 01:13:08,758

I could have done it.

1070

01:
13:08,801 -- 01:13:10,134

No...

1071

01:
13:10,177 -- 01:13:12,136

Something's up.

1072

01:
13:12,179 -- 01:13:14,013

I need to play this right.

1073

01:
13:14,056 -- 01:13:17,517

Go back to the base,

raise a stink, file the papers.
