So wake him up.

SOLDIER 1:
Copy that, we have the visuals.
Go to my house and ask my wife
for my dress uniform.
OK, let's proceed.
Jonathan.
What happened?
I apologize for waking you,
but I need Sarah's uniform.
Come in. I'll get it right away.
FRASER:
What are you doing here?
Go back to sleep.

Why did you have to drive down that road?

GIRL:
But you're not supposed to run.
FRASER: Jonathan's just ridiculous here,
isn't he?
It made me laugh the first time
you showed it to me,
but not that much.
FRASER:
Yeah, he's not at his best here.
ART TEACHER:
Matthew! That's original.
But you might want to define more the edge.
- GIRL 1: I need the scissors.
- ART TEACHER: It still looks unfinished.
I've been making
these fucking centrepieces for ten years.
Ten years of sheer ugliness.
It's Thanksgiving.
"My thanksgiving is perpetual"
- What the fuck does that mean?
- It's Thoreau.
You would know that if you studied more
instead of hunting birds in the swamps.
You could do a better job.
CAITLIN: Later, I'm gonna go see Dr Harris
with your mom.
- You sure you still wanna go?
- CAITLIN: Mmm-mm.
What if your father finds out?
He grounded you for a month over
a haircut
My dad won't find out.
But you'll get a weird voice
IN DEEP VOICE: "Hey dad,
lemme borrow your shaving cream?"
Your mom said
it's just a medical consultation.
But my mom has nothing to do with us.
Only we have anything to do with us.
- And the hormones will give you cancer.
- SOLDIER 1: Morning, ma'am.
ART TEACHER:
Good morning.
- KID: Why are they here?

You can do it.

What do you think went wrong?
KID 3:
What happened? What did they say?
FRASER:
How's Jo look in this?
- KID 4: Did you hear what they said?
- KID 5: Not really.
We have to go to the gym, students.

Come on.
- BOY: What do I do with my artwork?
- GIRL 2: Leave it, no one will steal it!
- KID 6: My jacket.

and have a seat, please.
Gather round me, come on in and have a seat.
BOY:
What's been happening?
Come on in, my friends,
have a seat, gather round me.
As you know, we recently deployed a group
of soldiers to Afghanistan
and three of our soldiers
were killed last night.
Among them, among them was the brother
of one of your classmates.
STUDENTS MURMUR
Listen, class is cancelled
for the rest of the day.
You'll be separated into groups
to talk about your feelings with teachers
and with the grief counsellors
who are here with me.
But first, I'd like you to join with me
in a brief moment of prayer.
- GIRL 3: It's Britney.
- GIRL 4: Oh, my God!
BRITNEY SOBS
MOBILE VIBRATES
CAITLIN SOBS
Our convoy struck a roadside bomb
while evacuating citizens towards Shindand.
The robot failed to detect the IED
and the engineers failed to clear the road.
That's all the information we have.
The investigation is under way.
Our soldiers were trained and ready,
no amount of training could've
prevented this.
We're gonna hold a proper memorial
for these soldiers.
That's all for now. Thank you.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
TEACHER:
Anyone up for it?
They're right to torture those guys,
when they catch them!
- What, what are you talking about?
- Oh, she's right!
So you're saying we should torture anyone
who disagrees with our country?
They blew up our soldiers!
They burned them alive!
We invaded their country.
HE SIGHS: You know,
sometimes the bodies are so charred
and mutilated
that it's impossible to identify them.
And, uh
so they just put the body parts
in these body bags randomly.
And if they don't have enough remains
they fill the body bag with rocks.
So, soldiers' coffins are
just full of rocks.
SHE SOBS
FRASER:
You don't want it?
Why would you say that?
Say what?
About the bodies in the bag.
It's the truth.
So is everything gonna change now?
He was a soldier.
He was a soldier.
FRASER GRUNTS
FRASER:
Wow.
No.
No? You mean, I can't touch your hands here?
No.
Not today.
Today I can't touch your hands
He ate at my house a million times.
He loved the way I cooked.
He'd say: "Can I have seconds, Mrs. Jenny?"
Then: "Mmm, that's delicious, Mrs. Jenny."
SHE CRIES:
I can't stop thinking about him.
He was Danny's best friend,
more than a friend.
Danny!
Danny!
We got distracted from these kids
We should never let ourselves
get distracted.
We should ne
Never take our eyes off them. Never.
You do things, there are consequences.
What you're saying makes no sense.
Craig was in Afghanistan.
JENNY:
No.
What you're saying makes no sense.
If someone hadn't been distracted, then
he wouldn't have been there
in the first place.
And Danny if I had been paying
closer attention, then things
Was it me who distracted you?
It doesn't matter.
I'm a mother,
I have certain responsibilities.
I've never seen you fall short
of your responsibilities.
If you had children, you would understand.
Maggie
I didn't mean
We never really thought this would last,
did we?
But I hope that you, at least,
for a moment hoped,
the way I did.
Oh, Jenny.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please rise for the base commander
and remain standing for the national anthem.
AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS
Please take your seats.
We dream of peace
We all do.
We dream of being able to sleep soundly
in our beds at night.
But there are those who have to pay
a price for our tranquillity.
And who else, if not our men and women?
HE MURMURS
We know who pays for her tranquillity.
SARAH:
Staff Sergeant Alvaro Sanchez,
Drew Sollont,
Corporal Craig Pratchett.
They paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Alvaro, Drew, Craig.
We'll never forget these names.
To me they were heroes.
Because every soldier
who serves his country in combat is one.
- Come on! She doesn't know what a hero is!
- Hey!
- So, we thank you.
- A fucking IED, for Christ sakes!
- They never got a chance to fight
- Thank you, Alvaro
Drew

We thank your loved ones.
Your sacrifice will not be in vain.
Please rise.

I trained him
Not all that well, as you know

But you made the decision.
Right?

Hope your husband is feeling better?
I'm sorry about the things
he said earlier this evening.
He just lost control.
Richard really loved those troops.
Well, I hope you'll get a chance
to spend some time together.
In moments like these
we need to strengthen our families.
Goodnight, Jennifer.
I want it over between the two of you.
It's already over.
SARAH:
Thanks.
What if we get a nice place in town?
Like one of those Baroque palazzos.
You miss your fancy childhood?
I miss having you all for myself.
You can't leave the commander's house.
Richard is the one who has to go.
He showed his ass tonight.
Everyone knows he's black-marketing fuel.
He started that fight in town.
And his daughter is no good for Fraser.
Remember my friend Doug from Yale?
He's in charge of assignments now.
Call him.
It wasn't like the other times, was it?
It was nothing.
Come here.
