Church, Tucker, Rick, and Caboose are standing next to the tank outside Blue Base.
Tucker: C'mon, Rick, give us some details!
Rick: I'd uh... Rather not.
Church: Why not? Tucker shared some of his... stories. I only think it's fair that you share something too."
Tucker: See! Even Church agrees with me!
Church: I still fuckin' hate you.
Rick takes a deep breath.
Rick: I'm gonna say this now, and I'm only gonna say it once. We weren't ever together. But I liked her. I don't know if she felt the same. We met through work.
Tucker: And where'd you work? Before this?
Carmine: We were in... Boot Camp together. We didn't know each as we were in different squads. We met at night club, during a free day. She was hands down one of, if not the best fighter there. She kicked my ass plenty of times.
Church: Must've been really good to beat you.
Rick: She was. Like I said, probably the best one there.
Rick goes quiet for a few minutes.
Carmine: Well, the last time I saw her we had a... disagreement. And then a few months later, I was shipped out here just before Flowers died.
Tucker: ...What's her name?
Caboose: Yes! I would also like to know the name of this nice lady.
Rick: ...Caroline.
Rick looks down in sadness... before Church...
Church: Well, I'll uh... I'll let you in on a little secret, I've uh... I've actually got a girl back home.
Tucker: Oh yeah? Girlfriend or wife?
Church: No, man, she's just my girlfriend, ya know? We were gonna get married, but I got shipped out... ah, you know how it works.
Rick: That sucks.
Tucker: Oh, well, you gonna marry her when you get back?
Caboose: I'm not gonna get married. My dad always said, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
Church: Hey, rookie... did you just call my girlfriend a cow?
Tucker: No, I think he called her a slut!
Church: I'll tell you what, noob, I could sit out here and listen to you insult my girlfriend all day long, but as it turns out, I got a lot more important job for you to do.
Rick: C'mon, Church, he didn't mean it intentionally.
Caboose: Great.
Church: See, we've got this General.
Rick: Oh, no...
Tucker: Right, the General guy.
Rick: Idiots.
Church: ...who likes to come by and make random inspections of bases. So what I'm gonna have you do, is I'm gonna have you go in the base, and stand right next to the flag at attention, just in case he decides to come by.
Caboose: When is he coming by?
Tucker: We never know. Could be today, could be a week from now.
