Army Wives, Season 1

Roxy:
Denise looks so happy. Like hogs in the sun.

Pamela:
[looks at Roxy, chuckles] You just make 'em up as you do, don't you, these expressions.

Roxy:
It's hotter than the hinges on the gates of Hell. Seriously though, I half wish I could've gone to the pool with Trevor and the boys.

Pamela:
So, why didn't you?

Roxy:
He wanted to get some quality time with them before he goes.

Pamela:
Well, he just wants to make sure that they remember him when he's gone.

Roxy:
You think?

Pamela:
Chase was deployed the first year of Lucas' life. He left before he was born and came back after he was walking. Had no clue who daddy was.

Roxy:
Must've broken his heart.

Pamela:
Yeah. And mine. It's a real fear for soldiers, being forgotten by their children.

Roxy:
Well, then why are they so gung-ho to leave in the first place?

Pamela:
It's the military, sweetheart. Army, unit, family. In that order.
