Okay?

I promise.

Listen to me.

It should have been me.

All right?

This is helo zero-niner

departing ramadi

with one wounded en route

to Baghdad hospital, over.

Okay, corporal,

you've got ruptured eardrums,

so hearing loss

and even short term memory loss

are gonna be normal,

but you should

fully recover.

Where's my dog?

He's okay. He's fine.

He's at blue diamond.

I need to see him.

Oh, no, no.

Ah, ah, corporal, no, no.

He's okay. He's fine.

The important thing

is we look after you,

make sure you're okay.

And just so you know,

they're sending you home

for Christmas, corporal.

Three weeks,

then back to Pendleton

for training and rehab.

And you'll see your dog

when you get back to base, okay?

We notified her commander,

so he's aware what's going on.

Oh, there he is!

- Dad!

- Hi, honey.

The white zone

is for immediate loading and

unloading of passengers only.

Dad.

I'm glad you're home.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

You look good.

Okay.

Um, I gotta work

on Christmas.

It's okay, dad.

You sure?

Yeah.

You're okay?

Yeah.

She'd probably

rather I didn't--

yeah, I know.

Go near there, so...

Merry Christmas.

Yeah, merry Christmas.

Love you.

I love you.

Thank god you're okay.

Bye, you.

You sure

you're okay with that?

Yeah, I got it.

All right.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Merry christma--

hi, baby.

Hey, mom.

Okay, I'm sorry--

i am sorry,

but I'm just--

what do you mean

Rex isn't back yet?

He was supposed to

be back a week ago,

and every time I call,

someone says that

he's gonna be back soon,

he's gonna be back soon.

I'm just a little bit confused.

I'm just telling you

what I know, corporal,

and please, don't call again.

I'll let you know

as soon as I have

something to report, okay?

- Okay, wait just one second.

- If somebody could just...

this is wonderful, honey.

Do you see this, Megan?

Oh, this is wonderful.

Here, honey, this is for you.

I would have liked

to get you more, honey,

but the salon's been slow, so...

That's okay.

So, that's the one, honey?

I'm, like, so happy,

you can't even imagine.

just double-check

with Wilkins, all right?

Yes, sir. Will do.

Reynolds?

Hey, I'm corporal leavey.

Leavey?

Yeah.

Wow.

You do know your phone style

is a bit aggressive, right?

Actually,

i don't think she does.

Hey.

Hey, what's up, leavey?

Oh, hi.

How you doing?

You all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I heard you got a little

rattled up out there.

Everything okay?

I'm fine.

When did you get back?

Uh, last week.

I'm just here for

a couple days. I'm going back.

How's Rex? Where is he?

I don't know. I haven't

seen him in a while.

Is he okay?

I don't know how he is,

but I've been crap without him.

Yeah, yeah.

I can't imagine.

I haven't left Bruno

for, what, 12 hours?

-Who's a good boy, Bruno?

-Yes, sir, I'll tell her.

Hey, you can go

and cuddle too, if you like.

Rex just pulled up

to the gate.

Oh, Bruno, Bruno.

Bye, sir.

All right.

Hey. Hi!

Come here.

Come here. Good boy.

Careful, careful.

Good boy. Good boy.

Hi. Good.

Oh, good boy.

It's okay.

Good boy. Good boy.

Good boy. Good boy. Good boy.

Good.

Good. Good. Come on.

Come on. Stop. This way.

Rex, come. It's okay.

Hey. What's going on?

They told me

i didn't need the bottoms.

Yeah. Well, that depends

on how much you like keeping

both halves of your ass.

Keep 'em on.

Ha-ha!

You guys are very funny!

Okay, slow down.

Slow down, slow down.

It's just some flowers.

It's okay.

It's...

The crazy part,

then they ended up

having loofahs,

but they said they couldn't

deliver a loofah.

This is sweet.

That's really sweet.

I mean,

i like flowers too.

Cool, but the loofah

would have been-- come on.

It would have been funnier.

The loofah would

have worked, right?

Yeah, yeah.

I know. Um, so, hi.

Hi.

Hey.

Wow, you're really strong.

They're like college beds,

like dorm room beds.

It's awful.

Yeah.

Well, the good news

is you probably don't have

to pay for drinks anymore

now that you're a war hero

and everything.

You think I'm a hero?

Well, that's the word

on the street.

So what you been up to?

What's going on?

Um, mostly

just physical therapy.

It's the worst.

The nurse is an absolute witch,

so that's not fun.

Ay.

Yeah.

So, what hurts?

Where does it hurt?

Um, mostly my head.

My back, my neck.

And I just-- it feels like

the bomb blew out my arches.

So, everywhere.

Mm-hmm.

Well, no more high heels

for you.

I know.

So bummed about that.

Hey, let me get your foot.

Let me do some magic.

A massage?

Yeah.

It's 'cause you're a hero.

Lucky me.

Heroes get massages.

I should get exploded

more often.

Yeah.

I should fly back

more often.

How's your boy Rex doing?

He's good.

He's doing better.

It's just slow.

I think that I'm gonna be able

to start training with him again

in a couple weeks.

Hmm.

How long do I have you for?

Well, that depends.

How long do you want me for?

I'm a young man.

We live into our 80s

in my family.

Oh. Yeah,

we get divorced in mine.

Hmm.

I could possibly

make an exception though

if you were, all of a sudden,

say, a Yankees fan,

went to a lot

of Yankees games.

That's a lot, you see.
