McTeer wouldn't approve, but I tried it his way. I tried it Laviano's way, too. I trusted in systems and promises that were not up to the task. I tried it everyone's way. Everyone's except mine. In the service of this country, I trained as a marine. I am very good at my job. Camouflage, preparation, combat, intimidation. So point three: I am up to the task. When I do my job, it gets done. No screw-ups, no errors, no mistakes.\\

I didn't think that for her there was not gonna be any tomorrow, see? Last time I see her, I'd be holding her lifeless body in my arms. Meat was spilling out of her, Red...the place where her face used to....\\

We go home. Wife, boy. Place is exactly the same, it's like it was holding its breath, waiting for me to get back. Then it hit me, all of it. For the first time, I felt how tired I was. I was just... ''tired''. You ever been tired, Red? (...) So you know. Just, I couldn't do nothing, you know? All the things. Couldn't take my wife to bed, play ball with the boy, shit, so tired I couldn't even drink a goddamn beer. But not her. My girl was up. See, she wanted me to tuck her in, you see? She outgrew it, she knew it, she didn't care, she wanted it. She had that book, her favorite book, on her pillows: One Batch, Two Batch, Penny and Dime. I'd read it to her every single night before the shit, every single night, but that was over now because Daddy's home now. She looked at me, she begged me. She begged, she begged... I said no. "Daddy's too tired, you see? I'll read to you tomorrow night, I promise."\\

Get to her classroom, right? She's in there, she's got no idea. She's got no idea that Daddy's home. Walk in, these kids, shit, they're not even studying, they're doing some kind of yoga. She's doing her poses, bending, moving, looks like a flower... you know, you can't even understand it. How does something like that, how does something beautiful... how does that come from me? She looks up, and she sees me. I see her. My God, that's real. That's real, Red. In an instant, she's across that classroom floor, she's in my arms. She's squeezing me so tight I swear I thought I was going to bust a rib.(...) She's not crying, she's holding me up, keeping me on my feet. She said "I knew it. I knew it Daddy."\\

->''"One batch, two batch, penny and dime." It was her favorite book. You go across the ocean, go fight, see, the whole time you're thinking you're gonna be scared. You're not. See, that part was always easy for me. Killing. Even watching my buddies die, it didn't mean nothing. First time I got scared was on a plane on the way home. Kept thinking God was going to pull the rug out from under us, y'know? Shit was kinda funny. But the plane landed safe and we were home. Driving through traffic, pass fast food and donut shops and all that, greasy shit, shit that you fought to protect. The car stops, and we're outside her school.\\
