[MUSIC AND WATER SPLASHING SOUNDS CONTINUES]

BILLIE (V.O.): Soon, I'll be shot

on the right side of the chest.

The bullet will enter my lung.

Then a shell will blow up and shatter my right leg.

Who will remember when I die?

Fire!

[CHEERS BEGIN SOFTLY THEN GROW LOUDER]

(O.S.) Thank you, it's been a long journey

for a long time, trying to get this together for y'all.

If you'd like to get out on the field, with 'em?

Head to the battle deck, just

find a reenactor and talk to 'em.

There are people from all over here. From Florida, all the way

to Alaska and Washington, we've got people from Virginia.

how about a round of applause for all the reenactors

out on the field? Make some noise for them!

ANNOUNCER (O.S.): They've been out here a long time

trying to get this together for y'all.

ANNOUNCER (V.O.) If you'd like to get out

on the field with em?

after the battle--

[DRUMMING AND DRONING MUSIC PLAYS]

Alright, I'm right behind you, baby. Okay?

Alright, everybody, I need you to hold your noodles

out in front of you and lift your legs so you're horizontal.

Do not arch your back, I'm watching you!

Okay, if you're thinking of peeing in my pool?

Just know they put this dye in there.

Turns the whole place a giant luminescent yellow.

It's embarrassing, I know... from experience!

Different pool, I promise!

Okay, this one's for my baddies out there.

I need you to hold the noodle behind you like this

and we'll do a dozen scissor kicks.

A dozen?

A dozen, that's right.

Mr. Sands!

You joined us just in time for your favorite exercise.

I know how important that six-pack is to you.

Alright, just because I'm not looking directly at you

doesn't mean I can't see what you're doing.

I've only counted three scissor kicks from Mrs. Woodman,

the rest of you are slacking.

Okay, let's go!

Mr. Horowitz, do not flirt with Mrs. Woodman.

It is distracting,

I'll put you in a different class.

I think she really likes me!

I'm sure we've all heard that one before, right?

Look where that got me!

Wow! Alright, this is impressive.

And three, two, one.

Good job.

Mrs. Woodman, you are looking like a beautiful mermaid!

Mr. Sands, let's keep up the pace a little bit.

Nap time is after pool time.

Good job everyone, look at you.

Let's go!

Mmm.

Oh yes!

Wohoo! Yes, lady!

For later.

Ooh, Look at that baby! Oh!

You guys do not need that jerk.

I don't wanna talk about him, he's an asshole.

Like my son.

Men, you know.

Oh God...

What?

It's your love line, hun.

Sweetie, that ain't no love line,

that's just another wrinkle.

No, I'm telling you, Carol.

Things are looking up for you.

I see...

I see an H.

You see an H?

Could that be...

I think it's Mr. Horowitz.

Ah, you know I've seen him checking you out at that pool.

Oh really? Really? The man is blind as a bat!

He can't see shit!

He's so old!

Okay, he might be old but he's cute

and I bet you that he's a great fucking lay.

You know what, I bet you he fucking is.

He's got a great bod.

He's very doable in his Mick Jagger tee-shirt.

Oh my God!

I am having so much fun at this party!

Are you having fun at this party?--

No, no.

I'm not taking your money.

This is not money, this is a gift, sweetheart.

No.

Franny!

Do not make me lose my time, honey.

I don't have much left.

Thank you.

Hi.

Jordan, how's it going?

I'm good.

Hey, Billie.

Hi.

How's it been going?

Have you found a place to stay?

I'm fine.

It's been almost a month, now.

You need to get yourself sorted.

You know the parole conditions.

And you know that it's really hard to get a job

when you don't have an address.

Hey, Shonda.

Okay. Let's get started.

The test is gonna start in a few seconds.

Just answer the questions that appear on the screen

with yes or no by speaking into the mic.

Group B, remember, we have a therapy session tomorrow,

11 am.

Billie, don't miss it, this time.

I'll see you guys then.

Nope.

Yes.

Yep

Yes.

No.

SHONDA (O.S.): Yeah.

Mmm, no.

No... Yes.

No.

No.

Billie!

I didn't know you were out.

I didn't know you were back from Afghanistan.

I um, went by the base yesterday to get my horse,

and Johnny told me that you'd be here.

Yeah, this is uh, how we train, now.

What did you want?

Do Mom and Dad know you're out?

No, I was hoping I would see them at the battle.

Have you been by the house?

Yeah, but...

So you saw the sign.

What sign?

The house is being auctioned off next week.

What?

They remortgaged the house, to cover the medical bills.

And now Sheffield Bank is screwing them.

But he's a vet, his medical bills should be covered.

I meant your medical bills.

On top of the lawyer to cover your shit.

What?
