You don't see the bomb unless they want you to

Adam Schumann

  • [narrating the first lines] 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.

Dialogue

[Billy Waller has found out that he wasn't happy about his ex-girlfriend Tracey leaving him by taking the daughter and the money with her]
Tracey: Will.
Billy Waller: Why are you doing this?
Tracey: Don't.
Billy Waller: Don't what?
Tracey: Please don't. Not here.
Billy Waller: What?
Tracey: It's over. I am sorry, but it's over.
Billy Waller: We were gonna get married. Cleaned me out, took my daughter.
Tracey: She is my daughter, not yours.
Billy Waller: How can you say that?
Tracey: Now, I... I've been there since she was born. You were gone forever.
Billy Waller:That was 'cause of us. I enlisted for us.
Tracey: I-I can't do this with you.
Billy Waller: Do... do what? Do what? I...
Tracey: Don't make me call security. You've got to go.
Billy Waller: Where do I go? [he places his gun to his head and shoots himself in front of the desk]
Saskia Schumann: What happened? What did I do? I don't understand. Tell me what to do. I need you to talk to me, Adam. It's time. I've given you months!
Adam Schumann: 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: [sighs] I don't know.
Saskia Schumann: I wanna go to the VA with you next time.
Adam Schumann: All right.
