After a battle, one of Benedict's lieutenants, Latham, is missing and presumed dead. While he is on leave Benedict locates the Army nurse Latham had proposed marriage to. But he finds her surprisingly unemotional when he informs her of the man's fate, and he determines to find out why. Soon Benedict finds that he is falling for the woman himself.

00:00In Ecclesiastes, it is written,
00:06To everything there is a season,
00:09And a time to every purpose under heaven.
00:13Here in Italy, the season is winter,
00:16And the time is a time of war.
00:30And the time is a time of war.
01:00This is Apache 2, Apache 6, this is Apache 2, come in.
01:11Lieutenant Latham, we're out of range of the CP.
01:14Lieutenant, don't you think we'd better get out of here?
01:16Those jerrys start lobbing mortars in on us and we're dead.
01:18No, we stay put.
01:20There's a chance to keep trying on that thing.
01:22Come on.
01:23Apache 6, this is Apache 2, come in Apache 2.
01:27Apache 6, this is Apache 2.
01:30Apache 2, this is Apache 6, over.
01:40Apache 2, this is Apache 6, over.
01:44Apache 2, this is Apache 6, over.
01:46Is that Ray's away from you yet?
01:46No, sir.
01:48He's in trouble.
01:50All right, Mac, what's the situation?
01:52Open field, Captain.
01:53No cover, except for a gully about here.
01:55Where's that jerry bunker?
01:56About here, 50 yards beyond the gully.
01:58But it's so well cameras lodged, we didn't expect a thing.
02:00Till the jerrys opened up on us.
02:01Lieutenant Latham and the furry squad made it to the gully, except for a few men.
02:04I couldn't do anything except pull the rest of the platoon back into the woods.
02:07We better get back to him, Mac.
02:09It'll be dark in an hour.
02:10We'll try to give Latham and the others enough cover to get him back there.
02:12Yes, sir.
02:13Just hope Latham has enough sense to stay where he is until he gets dark.
02:18I think he will.
02:19He struck me as the cautious type.
02:20Noticed it, too, huh?
02:23Three weeks he's been with his company.
02:24He's acted, though he's afraid he might do something to make the jerrys mad at him.
02:28Apache 6.
02:30Captain Battalion on the phone.
02:35Benedict.
02:36Yes, sir?
02:41Well, that certainly is good news, Major.
02:42Yes, sir.
02:45Thank you, sir.
02:46You look like the Army just accepted your resignation.
02:48The next best thing.
02:49We're being relieved.
02:50Pulling out tomorrow morning at 0700.
02:53Yeah, Gibson, you took the words right out of my mouth.
02:56What about the guys in the gully?
02:57We'll come back here.
02:59Little jerrys and Ernie Bunker are going to spoil our vacation.
03:04Jerry Mortars.
03:05Try Latham again.
03:07Yes, sir.
03:09Apache 2, this is Apache 6.
03:11Over.
03:12Apache 2, this is Apache 6.
03:25Over.
03:26Captain, that's the Latham group getting plastered by those mortars.
03:29Yeah, I know, Mac.
03:30Forget the walkie-talkie.
03:31Get Battalion on the phone.
03:32Wait a minute, sir.
03:32I think I've raised him.
03:34Apache 2, this is Apache 6.
03:36Over.
03:37Apache 2, roger your last message.
03:40It's Wachewski, sir.
03:41They've reached the woods.
03:42They had to make a run for it.
03:44I have Wachewski to put Latham on.
03:45I want to talk to him.
03:46I can't, sir.
03:47Lieutenant Latham didn't make it.
03:48Captain, the relief company's in place.
04:10I've alerted them to be on the lookout for Latham's body.
04:12Okay, Frank, I'll take care of him.
04:17I'll get the jeep.
04:23Howdy, Jim.
04:24Yeah, in a minute, Connelly.
04:30Latham's?
04:32You know, it's funny.
04:35Three-week soldiering with most guys, you know, everything there is to know about them.
04:39They generally turn on and run till they're dry.
04:41Latham's never said anything outside the line of duty.
04:45Yeah.
04:46What is it?
04:48Request for permission to marry.
04:50You didn't know about it?
04:51Maybe he was waiting till we pulled back.
04:54You notice this?
04:56The bride-to-be, First Lieutenant Diane Kirkland, Medical Corps 11th General Hospital.
05:01Naples.
05:21The book.
05:29The book.
05:43The book.
05:44Come in.
06:02You wanted to see me?
06:04Yes, Lieutenant.
06:06Kirkland, this is Captain Benedict.
06:08Captain Lieutenant Kirkland.
06:09That's Kirkland.
06:11The captain asked to see you.
06:12Well, I'll leave you two to talk.
06:18Benedict.
06:20You're Dan's CO, aren't you?
06:22Yes, that's right.
06:23He mentioned you in a letter.
06:24That's Kirkland, and I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
06:28Something happened to Dan?
06:33Is he dead?
06:35Well, officially he'll be listed as missing, but...
06:38I see.
06:42I'm very sorry.
06:45Very sorry.
06:48Lieutenant!
06:49Lieutenant!
06:49Lieutenant!
06:55Lieutenant!
06:55Major Taylor told me what time you'd be off duty.
07:11I'd like to talk to you.
07:12Look, if this is about Dan, just...
07:13Will you have a drink with me?
07:14Captain, I'm very tired, and I'd like to go back to my quarters and rest.
07:18Come on, I'll drive you.
07:19No, thank you.
07:22Captain, I've been on duty for 15 hours, now...
07:24I don't get you.
07:26When a woman's been told the man she's gonna marry has been killed,
07:28she just doesn't say, I'm sorry, and that's all.
07:31Now, are you gonna have a drink with me or aren't you?
07:33All right.
07:34All right, I'll have one drink.
07:35Come on, there's a place down the street.
07:37Come on, there's a place down the street.
08:00I don't know, branny.
08:15Anything.
08:20Hi.
08:22Two brannies.
08:23Si.
08:30The best the black market would sell me, Capitan, il migliore.
08:35That's fine, thank you.
08:43Right.
09:00All right.
09:05What would you like to talk about now?
09:08I had a funny idea.
09:09You might like to know about Dan.
09:10Is this a service you perform for all your men, Captain?
09:13All my men aren't engaged to nurses in Naples, Lieutenant.
09:17How did you know about me?
09:19Dan tell you?
09:25Found this in his gear.
09:30You dropped something.
09:44Don't you want to keep it as a souvenir?
09:45Captain, you came to tell me that Dan was dead.
09:48Now you've told me.
09:48Why don't you go?
09:50Gladly, Lieutenant.
09:51But first, one question.
09:52What right do you have to come and ask me questions?
09:54What right do you have to come prying into something you don't understand?
09:57One of my men is dead, and I want to know why.
09:59Well, why don't you ask the Germans?
10:01I'm asking you.
10:03Lieutenant Latham might have been a flying officer, but he wasn't.
10:06Because he had something on his mind.
10:08Something that made him cautious one minute and careless the next.
10:10I didn't know what it was.
10:12But now I think I can guess.
10:14He had no right to think anything about me.
10:17He had this.
10:18A promise.
10:19A promise to marry him when he came back to Naples.
10:21It was a scrap of paper that didn't mean a thing.
10:24And he must have known it, too.
10:25Because it wasn't the first promise I made him, and it wouldn't have been the last.
10:30For five years, he lived from one promise to another.
10:34But you wouldn't understand that.
10:37Oh, I think I would.
10:38He'd stick a guy along for years, you'd toss him a bone, take it away again.
10:41What do you think that does to a man?
10:42What do you think it does to him?
10:43Don't you talk to me like that!
10:44Don't you dare, because you don't know!
10:46You don't know!
10:47Diane!
11:04What do you want now?
11:05I gave you a rough time, and I'm sorry.
11:07Oh, sorry!
11:08That's such an easy word, Captain.
11:09For some people, maybe, but not for me.
11:12Anyway, I just want you to know that I was off base, and for what it's worth, I am sorry.
11:17Captain, I tried every way I knew how to tell Dan that I couldn't marry him or anyone else.
11:22But I have my life, and it's nursing, and that's all I've ever needed or wanted.
11:27Please understand that.
11:32I'm going to be in Naples for a week.
11:33I'd like to see you again.
11:36Because of Dan?
11:37No.
11:37Why not, then?
11:38Because you're on leave, and...
11:40Aren't you jumping to conclusions?
11:41No, I don't think so.
11:43I don't want to get involved with anybody.
11:47I've forgotten.
11:49Nursing is all you want or need, isn't it?
11:51Yes.
11:54Diane.
11:56I'll be at Mario's tomorrow at six.
11:58Mr.
12:13God.

15:19my dice. What do you mean by that? You just want to make sure there ain't been a switch somewhere
15:27along the line. How would you like to eat these dice, Flannery? If they're my dice, I'll eat them.
15:49Come on, let's get out of here. David, I said, let's go.
15:58Ah, hide.
16:00Never mind us, don't get out of here. Come on.
16:03Hey, what's going on here?
16:21Don't stand around.
16:24Nothing.
16:33What's the trouble?
16:36Trouble? No trouble?
16:38Unless you think there's any trouble, Captain.
16:40We could stop him for a drink.
16:42Yeah, yeah. Let us buy you a drink, huh, Captain?
16:45All right, one and I'll buy.
17:02Okay, you guys.
17:03Oh, I'm sorry, Captain. We didn't see you.
17:10What's the trouble?
17:12These men were shooting craps with some other G.I.s and they all got into a fight.
17:16These men fighting?
17:19What's it all about, Sergeant?
17:21I don't know, sir.
17:22Must be some sort of a mistake.
17:25Yes, it must be.
17:27You see, I have a very strict rule in my outfit, Corporal.
17:31No fighting.
17:31No fighting any time, any place, under any conditions, except, of course, against the enemy.
17:37And I trust my men.
17:39I know they wouldn't do anything contrary to my wishes, now, would you?
17:42No, sir.
17:43Oh, sir.
17:43So you see, Corporal, it must be some mistake.
17:45Yes, sir.
17:50Actually, sir, all we wanted to do was return the money the men we were chasing left behind.
17:54Well, I hope you find them, Corporal.
18:01Yes, sir.
18:03So long, fellas.
18:08I can explain, Captain.
18:11How care we, fellas?
18:12You're doing fine, Sarge.
18:16Well, sir, you see, there was this staff sergeant.
18:18Flannery.
18:20Hey, Pete, look!
18:22A guitar!
18:23Hey!
18:23Yeah, come on, Pete.
18:24Give us a song, will you?
18:25Come on, Pete.
18:27Is it okay, pal?
18:29That's all right.
18:29Go on to play.
18:30How about Babyface, Pete?
18:32Babyface, you got the cutest little baby face.
18:43There's not another one could take your place.
18:47Oh, Babyface, my poor heart is jumping.
18:50You sure have started something, Babyface.
18:54I'm up in heaven when I'm in your farmed embrace.
18:58I didn't need a shove, cause I just fell in love with your pretty baby face.
19:05Now, Babyface, you got the cutest little baby face.
19:11There's not another one could take your place.
19:15Babyface, my poor heart is jumping.
19:19You sure have started something, Babyface.
19:21I'm up in heaven when I'm in your farmed embrace.
19:28I didn't need a shove, cause I just fell in love with your pretty baby.
19:36Your pretty baby.
19:38Your pretty baby face.
19:41That's all right, Pete.
19:43That's all right, Pete.
19:46Plays a great guitar, doesn't he, Captain?
19:49About that staff sergeant, it's all right.
19:51Well, he was practically asking for it.
19:53Okay, Mac, okay, Mac.
19:56You know, I'll be very interested in hearing this explanation, but some other time, huh?
20:00Thank you, sir.
20:05Pete, play me an Irish song, will you?
20:09I bet you think I can't play an Irish song.
20:13Let me hear just one.
20:14Let me hear just one.
20:21When Irish eyes are smiling
20:32Sure it's like a morning spring
20:38In the lilt of Irish laughter
20:44Mario?
20:46Give them what they want, huh?
20:49That's your Capitan.
20:52On the north, dear Capitan.
21:08Jim!
21:09Can a lady change her mind?
21:18Yes, she certainly may.
21:20On one condition?
21:22Name it.
21:23That we never heard of anybody called Dan Latham.
21:27And those angry words over at Mario's never happened.
21:32And that we've only just met right now.
21:34Wait a minute.
21:34He's at one condition.
21:35Okay, a hundred and one.
21:37I'm just trying to say I want us to start new and fresh.
21:42Okay?
21:46Agreed.
21:49No, no, no, not Mario's.
21:51I know a place.
21:53Where's that?
21:54I'll show you.
22:05You're out of uniform, Lieutenant.
22:09Captain, I don't care.
22:10Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:18You're a stone, you're a stone, you're a stone, you're a stone, you're a stone.
22:19And there's never a stone.
22:22When Irish hearts are happy,
22:31All the world seems bright and gay And when Irish eyes are smiling
22:48Sure, hear your heart away
23:02Think I'd like a drink.
23:30Yeah, take a tank to get through that bar.
23:32Wait a minute.
23:41Well, then I'll take a cigarette.
23:42Oh, why bother?
23:43Just breathe.
23:47You're wondering about me, aren't you?
23:49Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.
23:50That's good.
23:52Smart girl keeps a man guessing.
23:55Well, that's the accepted strategy.
23:59Smart girl doesn't ask the question until she knows the answer.
24:02Are there any more questions?
24:04Stats.
24:05Interesting place.
24:30Interesting place.
24:30This place is gone.
24:35Atmosphere?
24:37Kind of smoky.
24:40Music's nice.
24:42Who needs it?
24:43This is your place.
24:46Why didn't you ask me again?
24:52All right.
24:54Once more.
24:56Well, there's a little inn on the coast of Cereto.
25:00Far.
25:01I have a three-day pass.
25:23Let's get out of here.
25:24Jim?
25:43Jim?
25:44Yeah?
25:46Which way is the war, anyway?
25:47What war?
25:54We will forget it, won't we?
25:57Forget what?
26:00And there'll be nothing and no one.
26:03Just the two of us.
26:04We called.
26:09You called?
26:12I'm just happy.
26:13I'm just happy.
26:13I'm sorry.
26:39Excuse me, captain. Excuse me.
26:41Something wrong?
26:42Mia figlia. Non capisco.
26:44Un guaio?
26:45Si, signorino. Si.
26:47Lei capisce italiano?
26:48Un po'.
26:49Mia figlia. In casa. Sola sola.
26:53Aspetta, bambino. Grande dolore.
26:57Bisogna dottore del villaggio.
27:00His daughter. She's having a baby. She's having great pain.
27:04She's alone and he's going to the village for the doctor.
27:07Where is his daughter?
27:08Back at the house, somewhere.
27:10Get in.
27:12Gracias, senor.
27:13Gracias.
27:14I'll take you to the house. Drive him to the village for the doctor.
27:18Botto co Capitano.
27:24Botto co Capitano.
27:26Botto co Capitano.
27:27Botto co Capitano.
27:28Botto co Capitano.
27:32Botto co Capitano.
27:34Botto co Capitano.
27:39Barroco Capitano.
27:55Vincenzo! Vincenzo! Vincenzo!
28:00Who is it?
28:02One friend. One infamiata.
28:05Vincenzo! Vincenzo!
28:07The doctor will be here soon.
28:11Vincenzo!
28:12Who is Vincenzo?
28:13My husband.
28:15Your husband.
28:16Yes.
28:17Where?
28:18He's dead.
28:19Vincenzo, he's dead!
28:21Vincenzo!
28:37He's dead!
28:38Yeah!
28:39No!
28:41No!
28:42He's dead.
28:43He's dead.
28:44He's dead.
28:47I don't know.
28:48She wanted to die.
29:18Vincenzo, my husband, she just kept saying it over and over again.
29:23Her husband is dead, and now she's dead, too.
29:26And her child has only a tired, old, worn-out man to love it and care for it.
29:30All right. It's an ugly, brutal world, isn't it?
29:32All right, Diana. I want to go back to Naples.
29:34I said stop it! Now, you're tired and you're beat.
29:37When we get to Sorrento, you've got to forget this.
29:39I'm not going to Sorrento. Why not?
29:41Because that poor girl in there, all right, it's terrible, but it's got nothing to do with us.
29:44How can you say that? Because it doesn't.
29:46Because you weren't in there. You didn't see the pain. You didn't see her die.
29:51I've seen pain. I've seen men die.
29:53Yes, men on the battlefield. That's different.
29:55How? Because there was some point. There was some reason.
29:59Some point. A woman loves a man and bears him a child. You don't see any point or reason of that?
30:03Jim, will you please take me back?
30:05Back to your neat antiseptic little world, huh?
30:07Where you can stand a little suffering because it's sterile and clinical.
30:10Where you can act like a woman without worrying about being one and all that it means.
30:14I know what it means. I just saw what it means.
30:18And now you're afraid.
30:19Yes, I'm afraid. Is that what you want me to say?
30:23No, it's not what I want you to say. I want you to say you'll go to Sorrento with me.
30:26I want you to say it and I want you to mean it.
30:28And then if you want to, we'll get in the Jeep and go back to Naples.
30:31But we'll go back on our own terms, not because you're afraid.
30:33I can't.
30:34You can if you try.
30:35I tried. I tried so hard last night.
30:37No, you were just pretending. You were just pretending.
30:38You were trying to prove something to yourself, something that you didn't believe.
30:41Now, I want you to tell me that you're going to go back to Sorrento if I ask you.
30:44Tell me.
30:45I can't. I need more time. I can't go now.
30:48You've had time. With Dan, five years worth. You haven't got any more time.
31:00All right, I'll take you back to Naples.
31:18Fire!
31:41Fire!
31:43Fire!
31:44Fire!
31:45Fire!
31:46Fire!
31:47Fire!
31:48Fire!
31:49Fire!
31:50Fire!
31:55Fire!
31:56Fire!
31:58Fire!
31:59Fire!
32:00Fire!
32:01Fire!
32:07Fire!
32:08Fire!
32:10Fire!
32:12You guys go live a little.
32:14Thank you for waiting for us.
32:18Hey, isn't this the same home we were in before we pulled back?
32:25Here it is. It still fits.
32:31I think they remember us.
32:48Let's go.
33:18I hope you're right, Major.
33:32Battalion says aerial reconnaissance indicates the Jerry's are moving out of Tremetti.
33:39We're moving in.
33:48No!
33:50No!
33:52You're not.
33:54You're not.
33:57I mean, you're going to lie.
34:01No!
34:03You're going to lie.
34:06You're going to lie.
34:08You're going to lie.
34:10You're going to lie.
34:12It looks like we're killing people.
34:15You're going to lie.
34:16I don't know.
34:46I don't know.
35:16I don't know.
35:46I don't know.
36:16Yeah, Frank?
36:19How's it going on your side of town, Jim?
36:21Just dandy.
36:22Any trouble over there?
36:23Not so far.
36:24As a matter of fact, I got some good news for you.
36:27We found Lieutenant Latham alive.
36:28Well, when I came to, I was half out of my head, I guess.
36:37Started crawling.
36:38I didn't know where I was.
36:41Well, finally, I crawled into some woods.
36:44I couldn't go any farther.
36:45I just laid there.
36:46I don't know how long.
36:47And one night I woke up here, down that hole.
36:53Old lady says her son and a friend found me and brought me here and then went back up into the hills.
36:59They're partisans.
36:59I'd better get him to the aid station, sir.
37:03That's how I can make it.
37:05Captain, could you get a message to Naples for me?
37:08There's a girl there, a nurse in the 11th General Hospital.
37:11Diane Kirkland.
37:11Well, how did you know?
37:15I found her name in your gear.
37:18I went to see her when you turned up missing.
37:20She thinks I'm dead.
37:21Mm-hmm.
37:22Look, Captain, I've got to see her.
37:23I've got to get to Naples and...
37:24She's not in Naples.
37:26I stopped at the hospital on the way back into the line.
37:29She's been transferred to the 82nd Field Hospital.
37:33And before we do anything else, we've got to get the shoulders taken care of.
37:36I don't care what you...
37:38You assume I'm all right?
37:39I'll tell her.
37:41I'll tell her.
37:47Captain Gibson?
37:49Sir.
37:51Give me Major Jerkins of the battalion.
37:53Yeah.
38:11I couldn't believe it when they told me you wanted to see me.
38:26How did you know I was here?
38:28I stopped at the hospital on the way out of Naples.
38:30You're already gone.
38:33Major Taylor told me where you were.
38:37Diane, the reason I came here...
38:38Lieutenant!
38:40Lieutenant Major Brennan wants you back in surgery.
38:42In a moment.
38:43The Major says right now, Lieutenant, an emergency.
38:47Go on, Diane.
38:48I'll wait.
38:48It could be hours, Jim.
38:49Lieutenant!
38:50Lieutenant!
38:51All right!
38:53I'll wait.
39:03Come on, Lieutenant.
39:05Go, Bill.
39:26Go.
39:27I don't know.
39:57I don't know.
39:59He missed that.
40:01He missed that!
40:14All right, move it, soldier. Come on!
40:16Over there, behind the bunk.
40:28Kirkland! Kirkland!
40:33Get out!
40:34Kirkland, get over here.
40:36Come on, get out of here.
40:38Right over there in the bunker.
40:53In the bunk.
40:55In the bunk.
40:57Plant!
41:03Duck!
41:04You stay with her. She'll probably sleep for several hours. If she doesn't, call Dr. Foreman.
41:21How is she?
41:23She's sleeping.
41:24Why were those Jerry's shelling us?
41:25They weren't.
41:26Just bad shots, my guess is they were after the ambulance dump up the road.
41:30What is the matter with her, Doc?
41:31Physically, not a thing.
41:33Psychologically, she's a very sick young woman.
41:36She's just had a nervous breakdown of the next thing to it.
41:40Come on over to my tent. You look like you could use a drink.
41:43Contrary to all the gags, I don't keep this for medicinal purposes, so help yourself.
41:47What about you?
41:48Oh, I've got some more cutting and sewing to do.
41:49What do you know about, Diane?
41:51Well, not as much as I thought I did.
41:52Unless she had some problems, but...
41:53I've known her since North Africa.
41:54I don't think she's a good one.
41:55I've known her since North Africa.
41:56I don't think she's a good one.
41:57I don't think she's a good one.
41:58I'm a good one.
41:59How do you know?
42:00I don't think she's a good one.
42:01Come on over to my tent.
42:02You look like you could use a drink.
42:03Contrary to all the gags,
42:04I don't keep this for medicinal purposes, so help yourself.
42:06What about you?
42:07Oh, I've got some more cutting and sewing to do.
42:08What do you know about, Diane?
42:09Well, not as much as I thought I did.
42:12Unless she had some problems, but...
42:13I've known her since North Africa.
42:15I don't think I've ever seen anyone beat and whip and drive herself the way she has.
42:20I don't know much about such things, but I'd guess she's running away from something.
42:24From herself, maybe?
42:25Maybe.
42:26She stretched her nerves about as far as they'd stretch.
42:30That attack today was the final straw.
42:33She didn't have everything left to give, so she cracked up.
42:36What happens now?
42:38She'll be sent back to the States.
42:40Hospitalized.
42:42And then it'll be up to Diane.
42:44Are you in love with her, Benedict?
42:46You think she's in love with you?
42:48I don't know.
42:49And that's why you came here, to find out.
42:51That's right.
42:52Is it important to you?
42:54Why?
42:55Is it?
42:56If it wasn't, I wouldn't be here, would I?
42:59Why all these questions?
43:01You know anyone named Dan?
43:03What about him?
43:05Who is he?
43:06Lieutenant Dan Latham.
43:08He's in my company.
43:09We found him this morning in Trometti.
43:11Found him?
43:12He's been missing for 10 days.
43:13He's wounded.
43:14Diane thinks he's dead.
43:15They're engaged to be married.
43:17I see.
43:19What do you know about him?
43:21Nothing, except that before the sedative I gave her began to take hold while she was drifting,
43:26she kept calling his name.
43:28Dan?
43:30Well, so what you mean?
43:31I thought you oughta know.
43:32Or is a funny thing, isn't it?
43:33Yeah, sometimes I think I'll die laughing.
43:34I gotta get back to surgery.
43:36She'll sleep for a while.
43:37You can stay here and see her later.
43:38Save some of that, will ya?
43:42Yeah?
43:43Yeah?
43:44I was beginning to think you didn't get my message.
43:47How's the shoulder?
43:48Let it say it's my take home.
43:49I got to get back to surgery.
43:50She'll sleep for a while.
43:51You can stay here and see her later.
43:56Save some of that, will ya?
44:00Yep.
44:05I was beginning to think you didn't get my message.
44:09How's the shoulder?
44:11The medic say it's my ticket home.
44:13How's Diane?
44:15I'm going in to see her now.
44:17Where is she?
44:19Latham, I want you to give me a minute with her alone.
44:21Why? What's going on?
44:23Just give me a few minutes.
44:25Okay.
44:27Your last night before I went to sleep,
44:29I'm going to see you.
44:31What's going on?
44:33Just give me a few minutes.
44:35Okay.
44:55Your last night before I went to sleep,
44:57I started thinking about all kinds of things,
44:59things I hadn't thought about for years.
45:02And one of the things I remembered
45:04was my grandfather's office.
45:07He was a judge in a small town,
45:10and he had this wonderful old-fashioned place,
45:14and over his roll-top desk,
45:17framed and hanging on the wall,
45:19he had a quotation from the Bible.
45:21And last night,
45:24I could see it just as though
45:26I was standing there reading it.
45:28Boast thyself not of tomorrow,
45:31for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
45:35That's what you were trying to tell me, wasn't it?
45:40Something like that, I guess.
45:43Jim?
45:44What's the matter?
45:46I learned something about you last night.
45:47Something I may have known all along.
45:49You're still in love with Dan.
45:50Still in love with Dan? I was never in love with Dan.
45:52You were calling for him last night.
45:53Well, that doesn't mean anything.
45:55I didn't want to think it did either.
45:58Diane on the battlefield, when men are wounded,
46:01in their hurt, in their delirium,
46:05and their delirium,
46:07they were still in love with Dan.
46:08You're still in love with Dan.
46:09You're still in love with Dan.
46:10You're still in love with Dan.
46:11You're still in love with Dan.
46:12I was never in love with Dan.
46:13The next day.
46:15Diane on the battlefield, when men are wounded,
46:18in their hurt and their delirium,
46:23they come as close to
46:26speaking the truth, to revealing their needs,
46:30saying what's in their heart.
46:36Anyway...
46:38Anyway...
46:40Anyway, what difference does it make now?
46:45What if I told you Dan was alive?
46:51That's what I thought.
46:52Dan's alive?
46:54Yes, he's wounded. Not too seriously.
46:57Where is he?
46:58Outside.
47:03I can't see him right now.
47:05You don't have to be afraid.
47:07You love Dan.
47:11Don't hide it. Don't fight it.
47:14Let it out. Let it live. Let it grow.
47:19You two will be going back to the States.
47:22They said you wanted more time. Well, now you have it.
47:26You don't have to rush anything.
47:29Just don't waste it.
47:33Does he know about us, Jim?
47:37What about us?
47:42Nothing.
47:46That's all he has to know.
47:47All right, Diane.
47:48Come on, Jim.
47:49All right, Diane.
47:50Come on, Jim.
47:52come on, Jim.
47:53Come on, Jim.
47:54How is she?
47:55Waiting for you.
47:56Something I ought to know?
47:57All right, Diane.
48:03Come on, Joe.
48:13How is she?
48:15Waiting for you.
48:18Something I ought to know?
48:20One thing.
48:21What's that?
48:24She loves you.
48:27Well, go on, Latham.
48:31Kept her waiting long enough, don't you think?
48:49A man never wholly recovers from a disappointed passion.
48:52Such wounds always leave a scar, the poet tells us.
48:55There will be faces he can never look upon without emotion
48:59and names he can never hear without some pain.
49:02But in Ecclesiastes it is written,
49:05to everything there is a season and a time
49:07to every purpose under heaven.
