Alma:
Prew, it's true we love each other now, we need each other, but back in the States it might be different. Robert E. Lee "Prew' Prewitt:
That ain't the real reason. Alma:
You're right, it's not. Robert E. Lee "Prew' Prewitt:
What is the real reason? Alma:
I - I won't marry you because I don't want to be the wife of a soldier. Robert E. Lee "Prew' Prewitt:
Well, that... would be about the best I could ever do for you. Alma:
Because nobody's going to stop me from my plan. Nobody, nothing. Because I want to be proper! Robert E. Lee "Prew' Prewitt:
Proper. Alma:
Yes, proper! In another year I'll have enough money saved. Then I'm going to go back to my home town in Oregon, and I'm going to build a house for my mother and myself, and join the country club and take up golf. Then I'll meet the proper man with the proper position, to make a proper wife, and can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I'll be HAPPY because when you're PROPER you're SAFE! Robert E. Lee "Prew' Prewitt:
You've got guts, honey. I hope you can pull that off. Alma:
I do mean it when I say I need you. 'Cause I'm lonely. You think I'm lying, don't you? Robert E. Lee "Prew' Prewitt:
