Army Wives, Season 2

Joan:
Evan, hey I wanted to thank you for reminding me of the pregnancy limits yesterday.

LTC Evan Connor:
Glad I could help

Joan:
Yeah, I had a discussion with General Holden and we agreed that I need to restrict myself to eight hours a day until my maternity leave.

Connor:
Well, every regulation has its purpose.

Joan:
Yeah. Hey Evan, check it out. [shows her pregnancy ACU pants]

Connor:
Nice.

Joan:
Feels good to be loose.

Connor:
Is there anything else I can help you with?

Joan:
I just wanted you to know that I told the General that I'm happy that you're here. And there's no one more competent to pick up the slack.

Connor:
You said that to him?

Joan:
[nods] I did. And while I'm home resting I'm gonna feel a lot more at ease knowing that you're here filling in for me. [calls out] Corporal, just put them on the Lieutenant Colonel's desk.

[Corporal brings in a box and a stack of files and papers and sets them on Connor's desk]

Connor:
[opens a file] What's this?

Joan:
It's the bids for all outside vendors who supply goods to the post. They need to be checked for any irregularities and then altered if noted. [pats Connor on the back and turns to leave] Oh. And, uh, General Holden wants them on his desk at 0800 tomorrow.

Connor:
But this could take all night!

Joan:
Yeah, wish I could help. [walks out] Later, Evan!
