I have absolutely no ear for music.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.493

- Well, it was nice to see you. - You aren't really leaving, are you?

00:00:06.067 --> 00:00:09.504

We gotta get back to town, important meeting with the general.

00:00:09.673 --> 00:00:12.802

Aren't you gonna tell me about the war and how you suffered?

00:00:12.976 --> 00:00:14.239

Honey...

00:00:14.411 --> 00:00:16.346

...you'll never know how I've suffered.

00:00:16.513 --> 00:00:17.674

So long.

00:00:17.848 --> 00:00:19.018

Well, will I see you again?

00:00:19.349 --> 00:00:21.113

- I'll call you. - When?

00:00:21.285 --> 00:00:24.084

In two or three years, when you get to be a great big girl.

00:00:24.254 --> 00:00:26.001

- So long. - Bye.

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:29.126

You should've stayed and helped her with her homework.

00:00:29.893 --> 00:00:33.001

1920. For the first two weeks of the year...

00:00:33.263 --> 00:00:35.789

...men can still get a drink more or less publicly...

00:00:35.999 --> 00:00:40.061

...because although the 18th Amendment is in effect, the law has no teeth.

00:00:40.571 --> 00:00:44.406

But on the 16th of January, the Volstead Act takes effect...

00:00:44.641 --> 00:00:47.167

...and traffic in liquor goes completely undercover...

00:00:47.511 --> 00:00:49.639

...to stay there for many long years.
