Jane Hilton:
How are things out at the field? Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Oh, they're fine, thank you. How's everything with you? Jane Hilton:
Oh, just fine. I want to get a war job, but Mother won't let me. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Well, I think she's right. You ought to stay home... Jane Hilton:
No, it isn't that at all. Mother wants me to go to college. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Oh. Oh, gee. That would take four years, wouldn't it? Jane Hilton:
If I go. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
You don't want to go? Jane Hilton:
No, it's so silly. If I were three or four years older, I could be a Wave. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Or a Wac. Jane Hilton:
Or A nurse. That's what I'd rather be most. A nurse. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
That would be swell if I was wounded. Jane Hilton:
You shouldn't say such things. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Oh. I won't be wounded. I'll be killed. Jane Hilton:
Bill! Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Oh, Jane would you care? Jane Hilton:
Well, of course I'd care, silly. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Well, gee, that'd be fine. Jane Hilton:
What would be fine about it? Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Well, I thought that if - Well, what I mean is I would be glad if you were sorry If I were killed. Jane Hilton:
What good would that do if you were dead? Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Yeah, I guess you're right. Jane Hilton:
I don't ever want to hear you talk like that again. Cpl. Bill Smollett 2nd:
Okay. I'm sure sorry I missed your graduation

00:00:00.952 --> 00:00:01.864
Jameson's a nice old duffer,
00:00:01.912 --> 00:00:05.952
but I don't know why we have to
have all that flag-waving.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.083
How's everything going
with you, Emily?
00:00:08.168 --> 00:00:10.251
Still having a good time, I hope.
00:00:10.337 --> 00:00:11.418
You know me.
00:00:11.505 --> 00:00:14.122
"Carry on," is my motto,
"come what may."
00:00:14.174 --> 00:00:16.382
You're one woman
who can be depended upon
00:00:16.468 --> 00:00:18.425
to maintain her standards
in these times.
00:00:18.047 --> 00:00:20.427
- Thank you, dear.
- Hello, Mary.
00:00:20.472 --> 00:00:23.715
- I was so sorry to hear about...
- Thank you.
00:00:23.809 --> 00:00:28.179
I've been meaning to call you, Anne.
Really, I have.
00:00:28.023 --> 00:00:30.438
I just heard
the other day about Tim.
00:00:30.524 --> 00:00:32.561
- I'm terribly sorry.
- Thank you, Emily.
00:00:32.061 --> 00:00:35.227
But you mustn't give up hope.
C'est la guerre.
00:00:35.279 --> 00:00:37.862
By the way, that's
a very cute frock you're wearing.
00:00:37.907 --> 00:00:40.001
I remember
admiring it last year.
00:00:40.003 --> 00:00:42.283
- No, the year before last.
- Really?
00:00:42.369 --> 00:00:44.656
You never were
much interested in clothes.
00:00:44.705 --> 00:00:46.617
Well, I must run along now.
00:00:46.707 --> 00:00:49.415
- Good-bye, girls.
- Good-bye, Mrs. Hawkins.
00:00:49.501 --> 00:00:51.834
I don't like the way
Jane's looking.
00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:55.498
And, dear, if you run into
difficulties about your food,
00:00:55.549 --> 00:00:59.168
I have a cold storage pantry
just filled with goodies.
00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:01.586
We do beautifully on our points.
00:01:01.639 --> 00:01:05.758
If everybody had my foresight,
there wouldn't be any shortages.
00:01:05.851 --> 00:01:08.264
Good-bye, dear.
Give me a ring sometime.
00:01:08.312 --> 00:01:12.997
I am so sorry about Tim,
but he may turn up yet.
00:01:12.107 --> 00:01:14.474
Yes, you never can tell.
Good-bye, Emily.
00:01:14.568 --> 00:01:16.001
What are we going
to do this afternoon?
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:18.999
- Did I say anything to...
- Could we go to the movies?
00:01:18.001 --> 00:01:20.001
How do you feel about it, Jane?
00:01:24.244 --> 00:01:26.736
That child... can't she do
anything but hiss?
00:01:26.083 --> 00:01:28.913
I'll go see what she wants.
00:01:29.458 --> 00:01:33.202
There's a concert today in the park,
the last of the season.
00:01:33.253 --> 00:01:35.062
Or does the idea
of listening to music bore you?
00:01:35.673 --> 00:01:38.837
Well, the fact of the matter is...
00:01:38.926 --> 00:01:42.092
Yeah, I think a concert
sounds good-Don't you, Jane?
00:01:42.999 --> 00:01:46.511
Well, I don't know, Bill.
If you feel like some music.
00:01:46.999 --> 00:01:48.001
Or would you,
by some remote chance,
00:01:48.999 --> 00:01:51.001
like to be alone
with each other this afternoon?
00:01:51.105 --> 00:01:53.688
- No, Mrs. Hilton.
- No, Mother, honestly.
00:01:53.774 --> 00:01:57.267
We thought it might be nice
if we went out to the country.
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.154
Would you mind if I went
to Gladys' for the afternoon?
00:02:01.999 --> 00:02:03.611
Darling, you run along
if you want to.
00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:05.901
See if you can
teach her some semaphores.
00:02:05.953 --> 00:02:07.444
- Bye, Bill.
- Bye, Brig.
00:02:07.538 --> 00:02:09.999
You see, Mother,
Bill's leaving tonight.
00:02:09.999 --> 00:02:14.501
He's been transferred to...
- What'd you call it? a staging area.
00:02:14.999 --> 00:02:17.998
I didn't know.
Do you know where?
00:02:17.131 --> 00:02:19.001
- Well, yes, but...
- Of course you can't say.
00:02:19.001 --> 00:02:23.999
- Or whether you're going to come back.
- It'll be the last stop, I suppose.
00:02:23.637 --> 00:02:25.999
Isn't that awful, Mother?
00:02:25.001 --> 00:02:28.001
- I'm sure it's what you want, Bill.
- Yes, ma'am.
00:02:28.767 --> 00:02:31.726
- If it weren't for...
- May I see Bill off, Mother?
00:02:31.001 --> 00:02:33.999
You see, I don't have to
go back to camp.
00:02:34.996 --> 00:02:35.001
I'm catching the Pathfinder
at midnight.
