Maj. Weldon Penderton:
I'm sorry, Leonora. It's just all this clutter is... Leonora:
What's the matter with clutter? I like it. Maj. Weldon Penderton:
I'd rather live without it. Bare floors. Plain white walls. No window curtains. Nothing but essentials. Leonora:
If that's the way you feel about it, why don't you resign your commission and start all over again as an enlisted man? Maj. Weldon Penderton:
Of course you're laughing at it, but there's much to be said for the life of men among men... with no... luxuries, no ornamentation. Utter simplicity. It's rough and it's coarse, perhaps, but it's also clean - it's clean as a rifle. There's no speck of dust inside or out... and it's immaculate in its hard young fitness... its chivalry. They're seldom out of one another's sight. They eat, and they train, and they shower, and they play jokes... and go to the brothel together. They sleep side by side. The barracks room offers many a lesson in courtesy and how not to give offense. They guard the next man's privacy as though it was their own. And the friendships, my lord. There are friendships formed that are stronger than... stronger than the fear of death. And - They're never lonely. They're never lonely. And sometimes I envy them... well, good night
