What colour is|the bridesmaids' dresses?

Good question.

You're amazing. Just take a whiff.|Come on, smell it.

Yes, pretty girl?

For 300 more, she said we could have|sprays of lilies.

Now, I know it's a lot, but it'd be|so beautiful. What do you think?

Well, I think it's a no-brainer.|You're only getting married once.

What you're gonna worry|about 300 bucks?

- Thank you, Stavrou. Thank you.|- Yeah, no worries.

You know what? lt's your day.|Do whatever you want.

Goddamn.

Shoot, man. I'm speaking objectively|here, you know what I'm saying?

All right, no, stop playing!|Stop playing!

May I take a message?

Doc, is it all right|if I have one of those first?

So do you feel that|you're making progress?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I'm sleeping a lot better.

And then also around the firing range|and everything...

...when I first came back|and hear the pop, pop, pop...

...I'd get very jumpy and|it would mess with

me a little bit and a little|bit of a setback.

But now it, you know...

...doesn't bother me.

So I think that's progress.

So, what's the story with|my status, doc?

I mean, are you gonna clear me|for combat? Because...

Yeah, I feel good.

Let's meet again next week...

...and we'll discuss it. Okay?
