Army Wives, Season 3

Roland:
[sees Joan] Hey! Mommy's home.

Joan:
Only for a few minutes.

Roland:
But you do have time for lunch right?

Joan:
[playing with Sara Elizabeth] Hmm?

Roland:
Lunch.

Joan:
If it's quick. [takes out a file and reads]

Roland:
[takes food out of oven] It's not only quick, my dear. It's ready. [brings plate to Joan] First course, ginger shrimp Thai dumplings. You mince the shrimp-- [Joan takes a dumpling and puts it in her mouth without saying a word] ...and let it marinate for three hours in ginger sauce. Add a little fresh cilantro and sc-- [Joan takes another without looking up] ...scallions.

[Joan is still preoccupied]

Roland:
[awkwardly] Glad you like 'em. [looks at Joan writing in her file] A grocery list?

Joan:
[continues writing] Jostling my battle strategy.

Roland:
It's a good thing these war games start tomorrow. I like my wife back for at least a little while before she deploys.

[Joan is still preoccupied and takes out her bullet-ridden target from shooting practice earlier.]

Joan:
[sighs] I'm gonna mop the floor with Evan Connor. [turns and leaves]
