get invested in outcomes.

742

00:
49:52,155 -- 00:49:54,281

Is that answer still OK?

743

00:
49:55,701 -- 00:49:56,784

Yes.

744

00:
50:04,001 -- 00:50:06,794

You don't think Holly minded

when we ditched her?

745

00:
50:06,837 -- 00:50:08,087

No.

746

00:
50:08,130 -- 00:50:11,590

And it didn't seem too obvious

when we left together?

747

00:
50:11,633 -- 00:50:13,009

Who cares?

748

00:
50:22,394 -- 00:50:25,646

Mmm...

You are hungry, aren't you?

749

00:
51:24,331 -- 00:51:25,748

Where are you going?

750

00:
51:25,791 -- 00:51:28,834

Alex, what's going on?

Are you all right?

751

00:
51:29,753 -- 00:51:31,962

It's just my roommate.

Calm down.

752

00:
51:34,758 -- 00:51:37,468

Come on, talk to me.

753

00:
51:39,596 -- 00:51:41,722

Alex, come back to bed.

754

00:
51:48,480 -- 00:51:50,189

- Sir.

- Shut the door.

755

00:
51:52,776 -- 00:51:54,068

When I said I had your back,

756

00:
51:54,111 -- 00:51:56,237

I thought we understood each other.

757

00:
51:58,698 -- 00:52:01,909

That's why your promotion

was held up.

758

00:
52:01,952 -- 00:52:04,078

The fact that your father

retired with two stars

759

00:
52:04,121 -- 00:52:05,913

probably kept anything

else from happening.

760

00:
52:05,956 -- 00:52:08,582

Sir, that person was

a very close friend of mine.

761

00:
52:08,625 -- 00:52:11,252

- Anybody can see that!

- No, just a friend.

762

00:
52:11,294 -- 00:52:12,962

I was shipping out

the next morning,

763

00:
52:13,004 -- 00:52:14,839

we were saying goodbye.

764

00:
52:37,946 -- 00:52:39,738

You got caught, Alex.

765

00:
52:40,657 -- 00:52:42,324

I was drunk.

766

00:
52:43,243 -- 00:52:45,786

And that's what you're gonna

tell the board of inquiry?

767

00:
52:46,371 -- 00:52:47,913

Yes.

768

00:
52:51,334 -- 00:52:53,586

OK...

769

00:
52:53,628 -- 00:52:57,131

We'll say you were well hammered

and taken advantage of,

770

00:
52:57,174 -- 00:53:00,342

or some latent feelings

were unlocked by the booze,

771

00:
53:00,385 -- 00:53:02,303

but that you're straight.

772

00:
53:02,345 -- 00:53:04,638

A bit confused, but straight.

773

00:
53:04,681 -- 00:53:07,057

Yes, exactly.

774

00:
53:07,100 -- 00:53:09,518

And those emails were

a prank of some kind.

775

00:
53:09,561 -- 00:53:11,312

Her fantasy, not mine.

776

00:
53:14,691 -- 00:53:16,692

It would help

if we had more proof.

777

00:
53:18,445 -- 00:53:20,196

Proof, sir?

778

00:
53:20,822 -- 00:53:23,782

The burden lies with you, Alex.

779

00:
53:23,825 -- 00:53:26,160

Aside from my already

being married,

780

00:
53:26,203 -- 00:53:28,495

what exactly are we

talking about here?

781

00:
53:30,665 -- 00:53:33,042

Have you been faithful?

782

00:
53:33,084 -- 00:53:36,212

Is there any man on base who can

put this whole thing to rest?

783

00:
53:39,674 -- 00:53:42,801

Adultery is also illegal, sir.

784

00:
53:42,844 -- 00:53:44,511

How would that help me?

785

00:
53:44,846 -- 00:53:46,847

Call it the lesser of two evils.

786

00:
54:24,636 -- 00:54:25,594

Hey!

787

00:
54:29,516 -- 00:54:30,933

Yeah, baby!

788

00:
54:47,325 -- 00:54:50,244

Yeah! USA is number one!

789

00:
55:25,196 -- 00:55:27,072

Hey, gorgeous...

790

00:
55:27,115 -- 00:55:28,699

Wanna make some lunch money?

791

00:
55:32,412 -- 00:55:34,955

Burner... You made bail.

792

00:
55:35,540 -- 00:55:36,957

How about that?

793

00:
55:37,417 -- 00:55:39,585

Thought you'd pitch in a buck.

794

00:
55:39,627 -- 00:55:41,712

You didn't even come to visit.

795

00:
55:41,755 -- 00:55:44,340

Yeah... Sorry.

796

00:
55:46,009 -- 00:55:47,634

Where are you headed?

797

00:
55:47,677 -- 00:55:50,137

Nowhere. Just around.

798

00:
55:50,180 -- 00:55:51,847

I'm goin' that way.

Hop in.

799

00:
55:53,683 -- 00:55:55,351

I don't want any trouble.

800

00:
55:55,393 -- 00:55:56,685

There's no trouble.

801

00:
55:58,438 -- 00:56:00,647

Listen, I can't even

be seen talking with you.

802

00:
56:01,816 -- 00:56:03,067

I'm sorry.

803

00:
56:05,362 -- 00:56:06,403

Cut her off!

804

00:
56:17,040 -- 00:56:19,333

I must have been gone too long.

805

00:
56:19,376 -- 00:56:21,293

Let me reintroduce myself.

806

00:
56:31,262 -- 00:56:32,596

Hi.

807

00:
56:57,414 -- 00:56:58,705

Whoaaa!

808

00:
57:01,418 -- 00:57:03,919

That is way overdosin'

on the Kool-Aid, yo.

809

00:
57:03,962 -- 00:57:05,421

Don't say yo.

810

00:
57:07,048 -- 00:57:09,716

Ma'am, yes, ma'am,

but jiminy.

811

00:
57:10,552 -- 00:57:11,969

What happened to you?

812

00:
57:14,097 -- 00:57:15,556

Nothin'.

813

00:
57:17,642 -- 00:57:19,226

What did this?

814

00:
57:20,019 -- 00:57:21,728

Tree branch.

815

00:
57:21,771 -- 00:57:23,647

Tree branch with fingers?

816

00:
57:29,362 -- 00:57:31,738

Think you can teach me

some karate moves?

817

00:
57:33,116 -- 00:57:34,491

Yeah.

818

00:
57:35,452 -- 00:57:38,328

Wait. You leavin'?

819

00:
57:38,371 -- 00:57:40,956

I don't know what I was doing.

Pick that up.

820

00:
57:47,797 -- 00:57:50,048

Put your hands on my shoulders.

821

00:
57:50,091 -- 00:57:51,758

If someone's gonna

grab your shoulders,

822

00:
57:51,801 -- 00:57:54,428

first thing is you smack

and grab here on the wrist...

823

00:
57:56,473 -- 00:57:58,599

Put your arm

on top of my arm.

824

00:
57:58,641 -- 00:58:00,267

Yeah, that's it.

825

00:
58:04,647 -- 00:58:06,607

If you're choking,

the first thing is to

826

00:
58:06,649 -- 00:58:08,734

turn your head

so you can breathe...

827

00:
58:11,696 -- 00:58:15,449

Put your hand down along

this seam and fold it over...

828

00:
58:15,492 -- 00:58:17,784

E-5, Sergeant;

E-6, Staff Sergeant;

829

00:
58:17,827 -- 00:58:19,578

E-7, Master Sergeant--

830

00:
58:19,621 -- 00:58:20,871

No.

831

00:
58:20,914 -- 00:58:22,873

E-7 is Gunnery Sergeant.

832

00:
58:23,750 -- 00:58:24,708

Right.

833

00:
58:24,751 -- 00:58:26,710

E-8, Master Sergeant

and First Sergeant;

834

00:
58:26,753 -- 00:58:29,671

E-9, Master Gunnery Sergeant

and Sergeant Major...

835

00:
58:29,714 -- 00:58:31,048

Give me 20 pushups.

836

00:
58:31,090 -- 00:58:33,217

Oh, come on,

all the way down.

837

00:
58:33,259 -- 00:58:37,429

57, 58, 59, 60...

838

00:
58:37,472 -- 00:58:38,972

Yeah!

839

00:
58:39,015 -- 00:58:40,807

Call me maggot now, b*tch!

840

00:
58:43,019 -- 00:58:45,812

Turn it, twist it, pop...

841

00:
58:46,898 -- 00:58:48,607

I'll see you bright and early.

842

00:
58:48,650 -- 00:58:50,567

Ma'am, yes, ma'am!

843

00:
58:55,990 -- 00:58:58,700

So what's the deal

with this house?

844

00:
58:58,743 -- 00:59:01,745

Your dad doesn't seem

to wanna live here...

845

00:
59:01,788 -- 00:59:03,413

You don't wanna hang around.

846

00:
59:03,957 -- 00:59:07,501

The General is happier

in Florida with his cronies.

847

00:
59:07,544 -- 00:59:09,920

And I'm not ready

to settle down yet.

848

00:
59:11,047 -- 00:59:13,006

Why don't you just sell it?

849

00:
59:13,049 -- 00:59:14,591
