Crossfire

There she is! The woman of the hour!

Get over here! One more round, please!

Paige, you're killing me.

I'm just making up for lost time.

Yeah, well, I am 2 shots away

from a very drunk, very naked Justin Bieber impression.

Yeah, that's what we're counting on.

Ooh!

Thanks for this.

It's not every day your best friend comes home from Iraq.

Friggin' Iraq, Sammy!

You're the last girl I ever pictured

in a pair of combat boots.

Yeah, the pedicure didn't last long.

Your parents would've been really proud.

Thank you.

You're out of uniform, soldier.

Coop!

Hi!

Hi!

Hmm!

You look great. I barely recognized you.

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm Sam's friend, Paige.

Yeah, sorry! Uh, Paige, Coop.

Oh! Jimmy.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, uh, Coop was our lieutenant.

Oh!

Best friend Paige!

It's nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.

Likewise! You don't have a drink!

Apparently, no one's allowed to leave here sober, right?

Okay, well, pardon me while I catch up. Excuse me.

Okay!

Um...

Don't!

You didn't tell me you were serving

with guys straight out of GQ.

He is just a friend.

Okay, well, unless he's gay or married...

Hell, even if he is gay and married, there is no excuse!

Okay!

Billy!

Oh!

I'm so glad you came.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Billy, my man! How are you doing?

Guys, here!

Listen, I never got a chance to tell you how sorry I am.

At least I'm here, right?

Yeah!

Thanks to this one.

Hear, hear! To Sam!

To Sam!

Ah!

What's it been now, 9 months?

Yeah, something like that.

And how has it been?

It's good, you know?

It just takes a little getting used to.

Well, that was convincing!

See, this is why I always beat your ass at poker, Billy.

The truth is if they let in one-armed bandits,

I'd be back in a heartbeat.

Sounds crazy, but I miss it.

Yeah.

Speech! Speech!

Speech! Speech!

Uh, wow! Oh gosh!

Thanks!

Um, thank you to Paige for bringing everyone together.

Thanks for the free booze,

although I won't be thanking you in the morning.

I don't know what else to say. It's good to be home.

Hear, hear!

Hear, hear!

Hear, hear!

Samantha Harrison!

One hell of a hero, all right!

Is that what we call someone who killed American soldiers?

Two men in my unit died because of your so-called hero.

Back the hell off, man!

National Guard, weekend-warrior cowards,

shoot at anything that moves.

The army tried to shut me up,

giving Silver Stars to my dead buddies.

I suggest you shut up now!

There is nothing heroic about killing other Americans.

What you did was murder.

Hey, hey!

You better take it easy, Lefty!

This is just the beginning.

Because you will never get away with what you did.

Let's go! Let's go! Come on!

What was that about?

The troop's being investigated.

Some friendly-fire incident.

A couple of his guys got killed.

He's just looking for someone to blame.

You never mentioned any of this.

Paige, it's not true.

It's just gonna blow over, right?

Right.

Is he gone?

It looks like it.

Come on.

Nine months ago, I would've busted that jerk's jaw open.

Now look at me.

Yeah, well, I'm glad you didn't.

It's 'cause of him

this whole investigation started in the first place.

No, it would've all just gone away.

No, there's plenty of people that think it's my fault.

Yeah, well, they're wrong.

Are they? I don't remember what happened that night.

I mean, I remember the mortar blast,

and then the next thing I knew,

medics were checking me over back at the base camp.

It's possible I...

Don't even go there.

Ballistics said they have proof that it was my gun.

I saw you up front firing

in the opposite direction of those 2 soldiers.

There is no way you could've shot them

from where you were.

So I've got nothing to feel nervous about?

It's just a preliminary hearing.

They won't have enough for the case to go forward.

We've got your back, Sam.

Guys, I'm ordering drinks. Who wants one?

I better get going.

No! Stay for another drink.

Wife's got me on a strict curfew.

Besides, now that you're back,

I can kick your ass at poker anytime, right?

Nice fantasy, Billy.

All right.

You're a good soldier, Sammy.

Don't you forget it, Okay?

I think you should hook up with Coop.

I think you should stop talking.

But imagine all

your beautiful, little GQ soldier babies.

Go home, drink lots of water,

and I'll call you in the morning.

Hey, Sammy, it's good to have you home.

It's good to be home.

Bye!

Bye-bye!

Pushed deeper into South Vietnam,

and American troops faced increased resistance

from Viet Cong as well as from the North Vietnamese Army.

As the heavy fighting moved further south,

the Americans became less certain of the outcome,

unsure whether it could ultimately depend...

Move! Look out!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Fall in! Fall in!

Everybody Okay? You good?

Walt!

Hey! Let me help you with that.

Ah, just in time!

Oh, someone's been working out.

Yeah, Iraq was good for something.

Where do you want it?

Oh, right on top, please.

Beautiful roses!

Yes, thank you. Yeah.

You know, I almost lost them all last year due to aphids.

It just takes one evil aphid.

The first thing you know,

they've multiplied and they've killed every bush.

Well, you're doing better than me.

I can barely keep a cactus alive.

Yeah, but you kept yourself alive.

That's all that's important.

Voila! There you are.

What's this for?

Something to brighten up your place a little,

make you feel more at home.

Now, when that starts to wither,

you just come back and clip yourself another one.

I think you missed me since I've been gone.

And I think you've gone soft.

I did, but I am still the same mean, old bastard

that I always was.

But I'm very happy that you're home.

Yeah.

It's good to be home.

Thanks!- Okay!

It's all the rage since you've been gone.

Declutter your life, declutter your mind.

Okay, Zen master.

If something brings you joy, you keep it,

and if not, you thank it for the joy it once brought you,

and you say goodbye.

You sound ridiculous.

These are ridiculous.
