Fort Bliss Page #2
She's not my mommy.
Paul, don't say that.
Hey, buddy, listen,
Listen to me. Listen to me.
Big boys don't cry.
Hey! Hey! Paul!
She's not my mother.
Hey!
Alma! No!
It won't open!
Alma!
I want Alma!
Hey, Paul...
Paul, I'm sorry.
All right, he's clear.
All right, sir, you're clear,
take your hands off.
Join your friend over there.
Get in the shade
and hydrate, Sergeant.
I'm all right.
I said get in the
f***ing shade, Swann.
I got this.
We're being relieved in an hour.
That's an order.
Is that enough?
Hey... you want
to see your present?
Come on.
Hold on.
Hm?
You know what it says
on the cover?
Ducky's Adventures
in Afghanistan.
Remember how you gave him
to me before I left?
You made me promise to take
a picture with him every week.
You really don't remember?
Well, you did.
In every page, in every picture,
is me and Ducky.
There he is, on patrol.
There he is in the medic tent.
And there he is with my friends.
I don't play with that
stuff anymore.
It's for little kids.
Forget it. Hm?
Eat it before it gets soggy.
Alma!
Hey!
How are you?
Good.
How'd you sleep last night?
Good.
Yeah? Okay, good.
How are you doing?
Do you want to water
some flowers?
Tell you what,
I think you're gonna love the marble bath.
I need to talk to you.
Okay. Hey, Donna? I'm gonna
call you back, all right?
I'll call you back and we'll
set it up. All right.
Hey. I'm kind of busy
right now.
He wants nothing to do with me.
It's been a day.
Did you do anything
to prepare him?
Yeah, I told him his mother's coming home.
What do you want me to do?
Well, he acts like that woman
is his f***ing mother.
Maggie, you've been gone
for a third of his life.
What do you expect?
Yeah, uh-huh, hard,
isn't it?
Hard when you left, too.
Because he wanted Mommy to brush
his teeth.
He wanted Mommy
to put him to bed.
And Mommy to give him all his food,
so he didn't eat, and he didn't sleep.
And then he started sleepwalking,
which scared the sh*t out of me.
What do you mean,
he started sleepwalking?
I mean, he started sleepwalking. He started
walking around here with his eyes open.
And the doctor said he was...
He was asleep.
Well, where did he go?
Go everywhere, he'd go in here,
he walked into the closet...
Tried to go outside
a couple times...
probably looking for his mother.
Wasn't looking for me.
I didn't know how
to handle him, either.
You know who did
a good job, was Alma.
You should be grateful to her.
Turned him back
into a happy kid again.
I know it's hard, and I know
it's a lot to come back to.
And, uh, I don't know...
maybe Paul should come back
