Bill: Good news. The dean of admissions from 'Bama State is gonna meet with you personally the day after Christmas vacation.
Bruce: Thanks. Thanks. But, uh, I wouldn't want him to waste his time.
Lillian: That's fine. [chuckles] Maybe you're not ready for school, but I could ask around at work and see if there's anything.
Bruce: I can take care of myself.
Bill: Hey! Don't speak to your mother that way.
Bruce: I'm sorry, Mama.
Lillian: What's wrong? Tell us.
Bruce: I re-enlisted for another tour. [all gasping] I go back in January.
