Season 2, Episode 7
While on vacation at the International Jazz Festival in Istanbul, Auggie catches the voice of the man who blinded him. From an ocean away, will Annie be able to stop him from taking revenge?
Annie: You know you should learn to say goodbye when a phone conversation ends. It's what normal people do.
Auggie: What a perfect reason not to.
Auggie: We were trained to believe two opposites. The first is that a man is nothing on his own. We were, only and always, a unit. One entity serving God and country. The seconds is that one brave individual's actions can change the shape of war. The Army can't know whether you will be brave or cowardly in a crisis, no one can, although they preferred you to be brave.
Annie: The man is incapable of saying goodbye.
Auggie: File tree? You're learning to speak nerd. I'm impressed.
Billy: You know the only reason I let you get away with this is 'cause you outrank me, right?
Auggie: You're a smart man.
Auggie: Also, probably best if the blind man isn't in charge of hiding the bug.
Auggie: I read somewhere that wars are not fought to kill people. They're fought to affect political change, to move resources and borders. Maybe that would be true if you were looking at it from a thousand miles and hundred years away. To us, it was mostly about killing. Maybe because we'd been sent there to kill.
Auggie: The Purple Heart is the only award the Army gives out for which you are not recommended, but entitled from being injured. I didn't think I was entitled at all so I didn't tell anyone about it until now.
Auggie: When you're blind, you forget about things like color, faces, but I still remember that picture, every face and every color in it. I guess it's why I still carry it around with me which probably sounds strange since I can't see it, but I can. Crisp and vivid. Everyday. It's the only thing I have from the war that seems pure, almost like it's from a time of peace.
