he's all over this angela girl.
uhh! then you're well rid of him.
it doesn't feel that way.
bets,there's lots of boys to date at college.
just 'cause one is-- they're all snooty,stuck-up snobs.
all they want to do is party,drink, and do drugs.
rush a girl? yeah.
i wasn't ready.
i-- no.
it's good,bets.
don't ever let anyone rush you into something you're not ready for.
you know,you could tell your mom that.

-no,i can't.
maybe just not yet.
it's good to have you home.
i know your mother feels the same way.
aunt tiffy? how long does it take to get over him? forever.
serena! mommy's coming!shoes on.
i'm almost ready! -let's go,kiddo! -ok,mommy! -we no longer offer that course.

i mean,my credits-- i wish i could help you,ms.
brown,but your credits are from four different colleges.
and i hate to admit this,but this is the only communications class we have a spot in.
-news writing 101? -that's right.
i've taken it.
serena,get off that chair.
public speaking-- is that open? the young woman who taught that, her husband was transferred.
you pick those up right now,young lady! -creative writing? -i'm sorry.
no.
just what else is available? tuesdays and thursdays,we have openings in beginning computers and military history.
oh! we have an opening in home economics.

good to have you home.
williams? grey? both safe,both inbound.
mack? no word,but i'm not shaking.
bob brown? we got a scan of a police report.
individual matching his description violently resisting arrest.
they're in pursuit.
if they catch him,they'll put him on trial for murder.
better know it.
so this is not brian,i talk to his mother.
she says betsy broke up with him.
-you check that with brian? -yes.
hoping for a different answer.
so she lied to tiffy.
yes,she did,and her advisor says her grades are fine,attendance is fine.
then it's not about college.
-you gonna talk to her? -said she'd talk to me.
i imagine that's what she'll do.
and you'll daddy her up, but you won't put it to her.
don't tell me what i'm gonna do.
then show me what you're gonna do.
be careful.
even the dumbest of generals wouldn't start a two-front war.
how many,do you think? she bring laundry? set the three.
go for blane.
Assassin,it's him!the killer! the american on televison! here's his gun.
XXXXXXXXXX it's freaky,huh? i guess we missed the boat.

i don't know.
maybe it's fate, getting stranded in a foreign country, talking to someone you'd probably just walk right by back home.
well,what are we supposed to do now? -can i ask you something? -sure.
where'd you get your drugs? how could you tell? kieran,you have detention in five minutes.
we have time.

-i learned somewhere else.
-and that's what i want.
in the military,i'll learn skills.
they'll give me a good job after, when i'm done.
there's money for school after.
there's discrimination against women.
there's mud and dirt.
there's rape, there's war.
-i know the military life.
-is that right? it's been all my life.
i don't think the military is the issue.
does it surprise you that you're not involved in this decision? it surprises me,young lady.

you wouldn't try to stop me if i was your son.
you're not my son.
you're my daughter.
i apologize for my behavior when i came home.
i heard what you had to say, and i was out of line,and i'm sorry.
but i'm andult now, and i need to make my own decisions, even if they're the wrong ones.

can we talk? i don't know.
can we? let's start this visit over.
i'll acknowledge that you aren't a little girl anymore.
-it doesn't feel that way.
-we're parents.
as a parent,i'd like to figure out what this has all meant.
-just means that i've grown up.
-yes,you have.
but what's eating away at you? everything's changing.
that's all.
you won't understand.
when i was young,i didn't think my parents understood a thing i did.
well,that was you.
there was a boy, j.
howard alexander.
i dropped out of school.
i followed that boy to chicago.
i got off at union station.
i knew right then i'd made a mistake, but damned if i was going to admit that to my folks,so i stayed.
well,it was your decision.
it was right for you.
i missed a semester.
i missed my folks.
luckily,i never missed a period.
well,this isn't about a boy.
that's right.
it's about a man: your father.
you want to be like him so you don't have to be like me.
i want a life that i'm responsible for.
i want a life that i run.
i mean where's your life? in you,bird.
you know how to hold it.
you know how to check it.
get your coat.
we won't be long.
you're rusty.
i don't do this all the time.
my point.
i paid my dues for this family.
i haven't paid mine.
we're all paid up.
-this ain't no video game.
-i know.
you know?how is it you know? my job don't got no "take your daughter to work" day.
-but i want to be able to-- -you want to fight.
who you mad at? i'm not mad.
i just want to get out-- it's never gonna happen for you.

i'm not saying you're wrong.
i'm saying you got to have options.

you still want to do this, i'll sell you your first salute.
how about it? what are you scared of? i fear no man.
one woman.
courage is moving into danger when there's a means of escape.
you got choices,bets.
-be courageous.
-i'll try.
"i'll try" means "i'll fail.
" you don't know that, you don't belong in the army.

-i can pay.
ahousand.
for a thousand,you can't even look at the boat.
so how much? for an american and an assassin, the ratones, the guardia, they say anyone who gives you up gets 10,000.
you know,if i was in your line of work, i'd want to be able to see at night before oth people could see me.

i wanted to come over and talk to you-- if bob was in trouble,would you tell me? no.
if he was all right? yes.
so you're saying he's in trouble? the best training a man can have is what your husband has.
bob knows what he's doing.
you just have to have faith in just how good he is,you follow? you have to believe as he has to believe, to know, that you're at home,handling things, living your life the best you can.
all right,then milita history.
there still an opening? i believe so,yes.

it's what i know.
the rules are different at school.
