Good morning, general.

Mr. Keen, once again I have lost radio communication

With my forward observers. As I explained, general, The microwave amplifiers--

I don't want explanations, Mr. Keen. I want results.

If you tell me we have Over-the-horizon capabilities

And yet We are effectively limited

To line-of-sight contact,

Then we have got A serious problem.

Lives hang in the balance. Let me clear about this.

If I am not equipped With a new supply

Of working radios By the end of the day tomorrow,

I will file a formal complaint With washington,

And we will be looking For a new contractor.

General holden. Anne perkins, sir.

I oversee mr. Keen's group From washington.

So it's you I should've Been addressing right now. Exactly. The buck stops with me, General. We can do better.

We have to. And as you say, Lives depend on it.

We've had trouble with This amp supplier before,

And as far as I'm concerned, They're history.

Just get me my radios. See to it.

(sighs)

General holden, I'd love to pick your brain

For other ways my company Could better serve the army. I have a lot on my plate, Ms. Perkins.

Maybe when I'm back stateside. I would like to find ways To help before that.

I'm only here two days, And any ideas you have,

I could work on From back home

While you're still In theater.

You have to eat, don't you?

Anything to take my mind off The fact that my belly itches,

And I have heartburn,

And my boobs-- I mean, look at 'em.

No, just the opposite. I'm Getting a lot of male interest.

I need more females...

Like a certain single redhead That I know.

Wait.

You are not asking me To participate.

Who knows? You could meet someone.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.

Pamela.

(people speaking indistinctly)

(clicking keyboard keys)

(clicking keyboard keys)

(clicks keyboard keys)

(chuckles)

Joan.

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I had my lunch hour free. Just thought I'd check in.

(laughs)

Hi. You expecting someone? Matter of fact, I am.

Who? You.

What? (laughs) I knew You couldn't stay away.

You had to check in On your little girl

And your big girl.

So you made all this?

I did. Took me longer Than it used to,

But it's all edible, I think.

Come here. (laughs)

It's good to have you back, Soldier. (chuckles)

***

(claudia joy) you did this?

No. Zach.

Wow. He's like a pro With this stuff.

Put together some clips Of my old games. Yeah. It's great.

I know, right? Yeah.

(sighs)

I was thinking of sending it To coach sullivan at woodsen,

Tell him I'm back on the ice. Perfect. You should.

Yeah? Yes. Send it.

Yeah. And while you're at it,

Why don't you invite zach For dinner?

Mom. What? I'd like to meet The boy wonder.

We're just friends.

And we have your friends For dinner all the time.

Unless you have Something to hide.

(scoffs) no.

No? Well, then invite him.

Okay, fine. I'll call him.

Good.

With the sheer volume of data

We're now capable Of transmitting,

Efficiency suffers Due to processing time.

In short, we get buried.

The army needs a way to assess All of that incoming information

Quickly and securely.

Well, that's something We could definitely look at.

We should eat this While it's hot.

It's not citronelle, But it's not bad.

Oh, citronelle.

That's my favorite restaurant In washington. Mine, too,

When I can get a table.

Oh. Next time you're in d.C.,

I'll have the company Treat us both.

Thank you, but I'm just as happy With a burger and a beer,

Which I can always get. (chuckles)

So I'm curious.

What's a two-star think about When he considers his future?

Why is that?

Well, someone With your knowledge

And leadership experience

Would be a tremendous asset To any defense contractor.

The army's my career, Ms. Perkins.

Oh, and you've had a great run. Uh, but what now?

You know, not a lot of Upward mobility for a two-star,

And--unless you're angling For a pentagon desk,

And I'm guessing you're Too independent for that.

(chuckles) don't be so sure.

And there are other jobs.

Not many.

I mean, An 0-8's salary is enough

To keep you in burgers and beer For as long as you like,

But, general... Whew. With your background,

You could make Four or five times that

In the private sector. I serve my country.

Oh, so do we.

Just from a different side Of the street.

And, general, I'm-- I'm telling you right now,

Kensitron would move Heaven and earth

To have a man like you aboard.

Thank you.

It is flattering, But I'm not interested.

Well, you don't have to Give me your answer right now.

I just did.

(helicopter blades whirring)
