Don't.

Don't what?

Please don't. Not here.

What?

It's over. I am sorry, but it's over.

We were gonna get married. Cleaned me out, took my daughter.

She is my daughter, not yours.

Reflections on Duty and Sacrifice
Adam Schumann
I was a good soldier. I had purpose, and I loved it. I rode shotgun in a lead Humvee, and I looked for bombs. You don't see the bomb unless they want you to. You sense it. You just know. I avoided the bomb that day, but led us right into an ambush. That's how Emory happened.

I thought we were broke, and you're buying fucking lingerie! I thought you were fine. You're lying to me, I found your VA questionnaire, everything's a lie!
Saskia Schumann
I'm not lying. You're fucked up! You're not looking for a job! You're sick and I can't do anything if you don't fucking talk to me, Adam!
Adam Schumann
I have to be sick or I can't get my benefits.
Saskia Schumann
So you don't want to die? It was multiple choice and you said you wanted to die. Was that a lie? Hmm? Adam.
Adam Schumann
I don't know.
[sighs]
Saskia Schumann
I wanna go to the VA with you next time.
Adam Schumann
All right.
