ELDRIDGE: Well, yes, sir, Sergeant James, sir. You're not very good with people, are you, sir? But you're a good warrior. Give me your mug.
Finally, Eldridge, Will, and Sanborn are getting along. They got through a difficult mission together unscathed, so now they are drinking and getting to know each other better. Apparently nothing bonds you like making it through a situation like that alive.
Quote #8
WILL: Some guy drove his truck into the middle of an Iraqi market, starts passing out free candies. All the kids coming running up, the families and stuff. He detonates. They're saying 59 are dead. You know they need more bomb techs.
CONNIE: You want to chop those up for me?
When Will makes it back home at the end of Bravo's rotation, he still can't stop thinking about what's going on back in Iraq. He tries to talk about it with his wife, and he seems interested in going back ("they need more bomb techs")—but she's not having any of it.
