The Bridge

We're having a baby?

Yes! (claps)

Yes! Yes! This is me happy.

because you said, it's not the right time. This is the greatest thing you've ever said to me

Since "I do."

joan's in surgery right now.

She was wounded, and they're trying to save her sight.

Okay, colonel, let's take a look.

Megan, do me a favor. Dim the lights.

I expect you'll have a little blurriness

In your left eye.

My left?

I thought my right took most of the damage.

It did.

Let me go over it again, okay?

You were a little out of it the last time we spoke. (chuckles)

Both of your eyes were damaged by debris from the r.P.G.

Now the left was scratched, but it should heal by itself.

And my right?

The damage was more extensive.

During surgery, we decided to replace the cornea.

Now the good thing about that is, you should actually

Be able to see better out of that eye immediately.

Hmm?

Ready?

Okay. Go ahead. Open up.

How's the vision?

Blurry.

Both eyes?

Well, let's just try the right.

How about now?

I can't see.

Boy, howdy.

They got strollersin here.

I mean, for that kind of money, it should push itself.

I bet they're cheaper at the p.X. Well, it doesn't matter if they are.

We gotta beg, borrow and steal everything we can

Before we spend a dime on anything new.

Besides, you can't go poking around the p.X.,

'cause I haven't told anybody about the baby yet. Rox, you're killin' me.

Why haven't you told your friends yet?

When was I supposed to tell 'em?

After jeremy tried to shoot himself?

Oh, or when pamela left chase?

Or maybe I should've done it-- okay, okay. I get it.

Just don't let other people's stuff stress you out.

It's not good for the baby. I'm not stressed about other people's stuff.

I'm stressed about my own stuff.

Like the ban on the hump bar.

The mustang's on its last legs.

We gotta get all this new baby gear.

Babe, I got a plan. oh, really?

Mm-hmm. What's that, a bake sale?

that's funny, but no. I'm getting a second job.

What?

A lot of guys moonlight.

Yeah, but you work 24/7 as it is.

Oh, come on. It's not that bad.

I just gotta find something with flexible hours.

I got a couple things lined up already.

No, I don't want you to have to-- oh, no, no, no. Shh. Come here.

Babe, I want to do this, okay?

It's for our family.

Besides, it's only temporary,

Till the hump gets back on its feet.

If the hump gets back on its feet.

Wow. Okay. You need to tell your mom to re-lax.

Daddy's got everything under control. Mwah.

I love you.

I'll see you tonight.

Okay.

Why don't you get a job, huh?

Your kibble isn't free, you know? (whines)

Hey, you look at me when I'm talking to you. (whimpers)

Yes, I treated him last year.

When was he admitted?

Okay. I'll be by for a consult this afternoon.

Thank you. (telephone beeps)

Your wife. Line two.

Joan?

They take the bandages off today?

Yeah, they took 'em off.

And?

They put 'em back on.

Wh-what?

Yeah, I'm...

I'm having a little bit of difficulty seeing. Uh...

The doctor says I just need more time to heal. That's all.

Well, that sounds right.

Everybody heals differently.

Joan?

What's going on, babe?

I'm scared, roland. I'm...

I'm really scared.

I wish I was there with you.

Me, too.

all the shoes against the wall.

that's perfect. I'll fold 'em.

Hey.

Got another batch for ya.

Thanks, pamela.

Women's or... No?

Yeah.

Doesn't really have a size in it.

Hmm.

so, pamela, how are things with you and chase?

Well... He left yesterday

For special training at fort carson,

So I'd have to say, not great.

Um, mom? Can I go to a party tonight at heather's?

Parents? Yes.

Me by 11:00. Midnight?

11:30. Have fun. thank you.

I should get going. I'm meeting frank at the hospital.

Oh, well, give jeremy our love.

from all of us. aw.

absolutely. I will. See you guys later, okay?

Okay. (lenore) this is the clothing drive program

I started when general baker and I ran the post.

Oh, it's so nice to see the tradition

Being carried on by all these wonderful young wives...

And claudia joy.

Nice to see you, lenore.

I thought the spenser awards committee would be interested

In some of the programs that I initiated at fort marshall. Oh.

Oh, you know what they say, dear--

A picture is worth a thousand words. (chuckles)

Hey, keep up the good work, ladies. (chuckles)

Well... I thought we'd visit the memorial rose garden next.

I mean, it was my design, you know?

I supervised the planting myself.

is this good?

Some things never change.

oh, she's changed all right.

Now that she bagged general big shot,

She's ten times worse.

oh, forget lenore.

We've got work to do.

Oh.

hey.

Hey. Hi. Banana bread!

Your favorite.

Aw. (laughs)

Well, you look-- you look good.

You look good. You feeling better?

Yes, sir.

Dr. Burton says I should be able to check out in a day or two.

Really?

Well, I'll still be seeing him twice a week,

And I'm, uh, part of this therapy group now,

But, um, I don't need to be in here to do any of that.

Not saying everything's perfect,

But it's a whole lot better.

Well, that's--that's fantastic.

We're very proud of you.

Look, I wanted to, um... I wanted to apologize

For all the trouble that I've caused.

Honey--

Please, mom, I screwed up bad.

And I know it's been hard on you.

Both of you.

We appreciate that.

But what...

What's most important to your mother and me

Is that you're okay, all right?

Nothing else matters. Nothing.

You got that?

Thank you, dad.

none of this gets fed to the dog.

I mean it, finn.

If I find one crumb on that mangy mutt,

You are in big trouble. Yes, ma'am.

What? Yes, ma'am!

Okay.

So what have you told the kids?

Nothing. I mean, what's to tell?

I'm just pretending everything's okay

When it's not.

Mm. Believe me, before trevor, I did a lot of pretending.

"your daddy loves you,

Even though he doesn't want to see you again."

Somehow they still turned out okay.

It always drove me crazy--

Women complaining about being army wives.

Even got me kicked off the radio.

Now look at me.

Well, it's different.

Chase is the one that changed, not you.

You never gave us anything to drink.

Oh, right. Sorry.

Okay.

Be careful with that.

When is dad coming home? Not until after you're asleep.

Now get. We need some grown-up time.

Why so late? Trevor took a second job.

You're kidding. Doing what?

Ah, ah, I got it.

I'm coming! I'm coming.

Oh.
