Georgie is walking across the barracks with Captain James.

JAMES:

Are you serious?

GEORGIE:

Yes boss.

JAMES:

That's a massive error of judgment.

GEORGIE:

Why?

JAMES:

You're seriously having a free bar and inviting two

section to your wedding?

GEORGIE:

Yeah.

JAMES:

There's only one way that's going to end.

GEORGIE:

You gonna have to keep them in check for me, aren't

you.

A moment, as they look at each other.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Thought you were gonna start moaning about me

leaving the army, then.

JAMES:

Well I obviously think that's a massive error of judgment

as well.

GEORGIE:

(over acting damaged)

After what I've been through!

JAMES:

Look I've been keeping up to date with your psyche

evaluation.

GEORGIE:

(with a smile)

Is that allowed?

JAMES:

Not the details obviously. Just that you're progressing

nicely.

She flashes him a look.

JAMES (CONT'D)

Look. I've told you. You're a fine soldier. Don't throw your

career away so soon.

GEORGIE:

I've made my decision boss.

(beat)

I just wish the world could get along?

JAMES:

Well good luck with that. Two section can't even get

along.

James throws her a smile.

Oh I wish you were coming with us so you could do
