Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Oh, I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
00:00:24That this heart of mine embraces all day through
00:00:33In that small café, the park across the way
00:00:41The children's carousel, the chestnut trees
00:00:49Flourishing well
00:00:52I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
00:00:58In everything that's right and day I'll always sing of you that way
00:01:05I'll see you in the morning sun and when the night is new
00:01:13I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you
00:01:25I'll be seeing you in the morning sun and day
00:01:28I'll be seeing you in the morning sun and day

00:01:49A package of gum, please.
00:02:01No gum.
00:02:03Then give me a chocolate almond bar.
00:02:06Chocolate almond bar?
00:02:08No chocolate almond bars and no gum.
00:02:11Where have you been?
00:02:14Made up your mind yet, soldier?
00:02:17Yeah.
00:02:17Uh, how much?
00:02:20Which one?
00:02:22Los Angeles Westbound Express.
00:02:25This one.
00:02:25Track two.
00:02:26Water.
00:02:27Temple, Pine Hill, Greenwood, and Point West.
00:02:34All the wood.
00:02:37All the wood.
00:02:39Los Angeles Westbound Express.
00:02:42Hey, soldier.
00:02:45Me?
00:02:45Forgot your magazine.
00:02:46strengthen.
00:03:02I follow you.
00:03:04Free Putin.
00:03:05Free Putin.
00:03:07Then is it?
00:03:08Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:09There, there.
00:03:10I did this kid.
00:03:11Bob.
00:03:12You got help.
00:03:12Come on, you're here.
00:03:14Come on, you're here.
00:03:36Excuse me, miss. Is this seat taken?
00:03:38Do you mind if I sit here?
00:03:40Are you riding alone or traveling with luggage?
00:03:44Cigarette?
00:03:46You going my way?
00:03:49Are you trying to start a conversation with me?
00:03:53Hi, everybody!
00:03:56Hi, everybody.
00:03:58Hi, Max.
00:04:04You with Guadal?
00:04:06Hmm.
00:04:07I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I was in the forest that moved you in there.
00:04:10Could be.
00:04:11We sure caught up for the first couple of weeks down there.
00:04:15Let's go.
00:04:16Let's go.
00:04:17Let's go.
00:04:18Let's go.
00:04:19Let's go.
00:04:20Let's go.
00:04:21Let's go.
00:04:23Hey, buddy.
00:04:26Hiya, pal.
00:04:36What are you crying for, dope?
00:04:37The sailor said hello to you, that's all.
00:04:39The kid must have some beef against the Navy.
00:04:42Say, that's quite a layout out there.
00:04:45I don't like prisons. They give me the creeps.
00:04:48Well, folks, you got nothing to worry about.
00:04:50If you get in the jam and wind up in the clink,
00:04:52I've got a friend who can give you a low number.
00:04:54Hot coffee. Get him on top.
00:04:57Coffee.
00:05:04Rock break scissors.
00:05:06Oh, don't I have wind one of these?
00:05:08Get the fish out of it. Scissors cuts paper.
00:05:11Holy cat!
00:05:14Once more, let's go.
00:05:15Let's try it again.
00:05:16Rock break scissors.
00:05:20Paper covers rock.
00:05:24Scissors cuts paper.
00:05:26I've been waiting for this.
00:05:32No matter how this works, I lose out.
00:05:34You wanna try it?
00:05:36Too rich for me.
00:05:37How about you, miss?
00:05:38I'm afraid I couldn't take it.
00:05:39What do you say we look up the coffee guy and get something to eat?
00:05:41I'm loaded.
00:05:42I'll buy everybody coffee and sandwiches.
00:05:44No ifs, ands, or buts.
00:05:46The treat's on me.
00:05:47Papa's on a leave.
00:05:48I'll be back in a flash with the trash.
00:05:49I'll help you carry.
00:05:50Take care.
00:05:51Are you going home on furlough?
00:05:52Yeah.
00:05:53I'm on furlough.
00:05:54Give me a furlough.
00:05:55Is this your first time home since, uh...
00:05:56Well, I haven't got any regular home or family.
00:05:57I'm just going to visit.
00:05:58You're traveling on business, or...
00:05:59No, I'm on vacation.
00:06:00Christmas vacation.
00:06:01What kind of business are you in?
00:06:02I mean, what sort of work do you do?
00:06:03Well, I, uh...
00:06:04I travel.
00:06:05Oh.
00:06:06I'm a traveling saleswoman, uh...
00:06:07Sales lady.
00:06:08I never heard any jokes about that.
00:06:11You're going to do that first time home since, uh...
00:06:12Well, I haven't got any regular home or family.
00:06:14I'm just going to visit.
00:06:15Traveling on business, or...
00:06:16No, I'm on vacation.
00:06:17Christmas vacation.
00:06:18What kind of business are you in?
00:06:20I mean, what sort of work do you do?
00:06:22Well, I, uh...
00:06:25I travel.
00:06:26Oh.
00:06:27I'm a traveling saleswoman, uh, sales lady.
00:06:30I never heard any jokes about this.
00:06:34I never heard any jokes about traveling sales ladies. I guess there aren't many.
00:06:39I never would have guessed that's what you did.
00:06:41Oh, what... what would you have guessed?
00:06:44Oh, that you were a...
00:06:47I don't know, a...
00:06:49a secretary, you know, a model, maybe, or a school teacher.
00:06:55Well, I once was a secretary, and I wanted to be a model.
00:07:01So that would have been pretty good guessing.
00:07:03Hey, you're going all the way to L.A.?
00:07:06No.
00:07:07No, I haven't much farther to go, as a matter of fact.
00:07:10I'm getting off at Pine Hill.
00:07:12Oh.
00:07:14Oh, uh...
00:07:16Pine Hill, your home?
00:07:18No.
00:07:20I'm just visiting my uncle.
00:07:28That's funny.
00:07:30I'm going to Pine Hill, too.
00:07:31Oh, really?
00:07:34Yeah, I'm visiting there.
00:07:37My sister lives in Pine Hill.
00:07:39I'll bet she'll be very glad to see you.
00:07:41I hope so.
00:07:43Maybe we'll run into each other there.
00:07:46Yes.
00:07:47Bye.
00:07:58Bye.
00:07:59Bye.
00:08:03617 North Elm Street.
00:08:04Oh, wait.
00:08:06If, uh...
00:08:06If anybody tried to telephone, you'd hook it against you.
00:08:12Well, my uncle's name is in the telephone book.
00:08:16Henry Marshall.
00:08:17Henry Marshall?
00:08:18Mm-hmm.
00:08:19Good.
00:08:20Oh, what's her name?
00:08:21Mary.
00:08:22Mary.
00:08:23Mary Marshall.
00:08:24Uh-huh.
00:08:24Goodbye.
00:08:25Goodbye.
00:08:25Goodbye.
00:08:26Wait a minute.
00:08:27Uh...
00:08:29If somebody calls and says it's Zachary Morgan, that that's me.
00:08:34Oh.
00:08:36Glad to meet you.
00:08:38Merry Christmas.
00:08:39Merry Christmas.
00:08:40Merry Christmas.
00:09:05Well, if something you want, just holler.
00:09:08We'd like to do whatever we can.
00:09:39Don't get worried, Zach.
00:09:40Don't get worried, Zach.
00:09:41Don't get worried, Zach.
00:09:43That bayonet wound is all healed, but the wound in your mind is going to take a little more time.
00:09:49That's why the doctors gave you this 10-day leave from the hospital.
00:09:53To prove to you that you can go out in the world again and find a place for yourself.
00:10:08It's going to take a little while to get your timing back.
00:10:27You'll still drop things and be a little slow, but you'll get well.
00:10:31They told you you would.
00:10:35The important thing is not to get too tired.
00:10:38Not to give in.
00:10:40Then you won't get any of those...
00:10:43Those things that wind up with a shot in the arm or a tub or that little room with a barred window.
00:10:50You can fight those things off, Zach, if you'll believe that you'll get well.
00:10:53Stop thinking about yourself, Zach.
00:10:58You'll get well.
00:11:00You'll get well.
00:11:02You'll get well.
00:11:23Here you are.
00:11:30Oh, welcome home, dear. Come on in.
00:11:34How was your trip?
00:11:36Oh, it was fine.
00:11:38You haven't changed, Mary?
00:11:39Not at all.
00:11:41Thank you, Aunt Sarah.
00:11:43Oh, it's so good to be here.
00:11:44I'm so glad to have you with us, dear.
00:11:46Awfully glad.
00:11:48Barbara, come on down.
00:11:50You're going to share Barbara's room.
00:11:51Oh, dear, I don't want to disturb anybody.
00:11:53Oh, nonsense.
00:11:54Barbara would love to have you here, for heaven's sake.
00:11:56Give me your coat.
00:11:58Anyway, it's the guest room, or it was, before Barbara was born.
00:12:03Besides, I think it'll be a very good thing for Barbara.
00:12:06She's 17.
00:12:0717?
00:12:08And she's pretty spoiled and at an age.
00:12:12Oh, you know.
00:12:14I think an older girl would be a very good thing for her right now, like you.
00:12:17Yes, like you.
00:12:18Now, there's a million things to talk about, but first you want to wash your...
00:12:23Hello, Mary.
00:12:24I'm awfully glad to see you.
00:12:27Hello, Barbara.
00:12:28Well, I never would have known you.
00:12:30She's grown into a beauty.
00:12:32Welcome home.
00:12:33Take Mary up to your room, dear.
00:12:35Follow me, lady, to my boudoir.
00:12:37Although it's small, not much bigger than the sound.
00:12:43Oh, I'm sorry, Mary.
00:12:44Look, there's just one thing.
00:12:47We all know that I've been in prison and that I'm going back in eight days.
00:12:52And there's no use pretending it isn't so.
00:12:55It just won't be any good unless everybody says what he thinks and doesn't try to cover up.
00:13:00Oh, you're a fine girl, Mary.
00:13:01Now, go up and see your room.
00:13:09That's Mom's room.
00:13:11I don't remember, Mary.
00:13:13Were you ever here before?
00:13:15Only once, when you were just a kid.
00:13:17Oh.
00:13:18Here we are.
00:13:20All the cupboards at home.
00:13:21Oh.
00:13:23Ah, this is nice, Barbara.
00:13:24We even have our own bathroom.
00:13:28This where I sleep?
00:13:29Mm-hmm.
00:13:51I was just thinking, that's an awfully nice suit you have on, Mary.
00:13:59Well, thank you, Barbara.
00:14:02You were thinking of something else, too.
00:14:05Well, as a matter of fact, I was.
00:14:08Working up with this?
00:14:09I'll take it.
00:14:11You may as well tell me so we can both get it off our minds.
00:14:14Well, I...
00:14:16I just...
00:14:18Well, you see...
00:14:20I hadn't known that they gave these vacations or furloughs to people that...
00:14:26Well, you don't have to be shy about it, Barbara. I didn't know about it either.
00:14:30Della Worden told me that in this state and in a few other states, they give special furloughs to people for good behavior.
00:14:36Well, I think it's wonderful that they have that confidence in you.
00:14:43Yes.
00:14:44I think so, too.
00:15:01The soup in the dish is mine.
00:15:04Yours is on the shelf.
00:15:09Mary.
00:15:10Yes, I heard you.
00:15:13You must have been looking forward to it, Mary.
00:15:41I was looking forward to seeing you, Aunt Sarah.
00:15:46Oh, that's sweet of you, dear.
00:15:48As a matter of fact, selfish.
00:15:51I've been doing a lot of thinking in the past three years, Aunt Sarah.
00:15:55What sort of things were you thinking, Mary?
00:15:59Coming out into the world and...
00:16:00Even coming here, I had a feeling that...
00:16:05Honey, you've got to stop being afraid.
00:16:09You've got to stop feeling that you're branded like people were in the old days.
00:16:13You've done something.
00:16:15You're paying your debt to society.
00:16:17Most people are willing to let it go at that.
00:16:18I know, Aunt Sarah, but coming out into the world and seeing everybody in uniform, everybody doing something...
00:16:25I...
00:16:27I just don't belong.
00:16:28I don't fit in.
00:16:30And dreams that I've had for the future...
00:16:34Are...
00:16:36Just impossible.
00:16:39Well, most dreams are, Mary.
00:16:41It's just the dreaming that counts.
00:16:43Nobody gets exactly what he wants out of life.
00:16:45One of the first things you learn is to make compromises with your dreams.
00:16:50But I'm not talking about palaces and rainbows, Aunt Sarah.
00:16:54I'm talking about a home.
00:16:56A home like this with a kitchen and a stove and an icebox.
00:17:00And a husband and a child.
00:17:04Yes, I have all that.
00:17:07Yet I used to dream about palaces and rainbows.
00:17:10But you're happy.
00:17:12Of course, because I didn't hold out for too much.
00:17:14I accepted what I thought was second best and made that do.
00:17:18Oh, it's something that everybody learns sooner or later.
00:17:21You have to get used to accepting what you think is second best and then...
00:17:25You find out it's first best after all.
00:17:29No, I...
00:17:31I don't see how...
00:17:33How that could...
00:17:37Yes, this is Mr. Marshall's home.
00:17:39Who is it?
00:17:41Oh, just a minute.
00:17:42What's that?
00:17:43It's for her.
00:17:44Why not?
00:17:45Mary, it's for you.
00:17:46Barbara, come help me set the table.
00:17:52Hello?
00:17:54Yes, Zach, this is me.
00:17:56Of course, I meant it.
00:17:59Well, I... I'd love to.
00:18:01But what about your sister?
00:18:03Oh, well, that's too bad.
00:18:07Well, I'd love to, Zach, but...
00:18:09Wait, wait just a minute.
00:18:12Aunt Sarah.
00:18:14This is a soldier I met on the train and he's really very nice.
00:18:17He came here to visit his sister and finds that she's gone to California.
00:18:21And he wants me to go to dinner with him and I was wondering if...
00:18:24A soldier?
00:18:26Well, why not ask him here for dinner?
00:18:27May I, Aunt Sarah?
00:18:29You ask him this instant and tell him not to be late.
00:18:32Hello, Zach.
00:18:34You ought to come over here to dinner, Zach.
00:18:37Oh, but we all want you.
00:18:40Yes, and Aunt Sarah says not to be late.
00:18:43It's 617 Elm Street.
00:18:47That's right.
00:18:48That's right.
00:18:49All right, goodbye.
00:18:53How did you ever happen to meet him?
00:18:55Well, hi.
00:18:56Was he good-looking?
00:18:57I don't know.
00:18:58You don't know? Well, didn't you notice?
00:18:59Nah, Barbara, no more lallygagging.
00:19:00Hurry and get the table set.
00:19:01Your father will be here any minute.
00:19:03Whoa! A soldier for dinner!
00:19:15Hi, Babs.
00:19:16Hi, Dad.
00:19:18Did Mary get here yet?
00:19:19Oh, yes.
00:19:20He's in there.
00:19:21Good.
00:19:23Thanks.
00:19:27Hello there.
00:19:28Hello.
00:19:29Welcome, Mary. Welcome.
00:19:30Hello, Uncle Henry.
00:19:31Well, you're looking fine.
00:19:32Fine.
00:19:34I'm happy to have you here, Mary.
00:19:36I mean it.
00:19:38Hey, you must have behaved really well for them to give you this vacation.
00:19:43I think that's fine.
00:19:44Well, it's just that they don't exactly look upon me as a criminal.
00:19:49No, of course not.
00:19:51I don't think of you as a criminal either.
00:19:53Otherwise, I'd never put up the lawyer money at your trial.
00:19:55Oh, I think you would, Henry.
00:19:56Oh, Sarah.
00:20:00What's done is done.
00:20:01Let's think no more about it.
00:20:03I want you to have a good time while you're here, Mary.
00:20:06I want you to feel just like any one of us.
00:20:08She's going to, Henry.
00:20:09We've invited the soldiers to dinner for her.
00:20:14You did?
00:20:15Uh-huh.
00:20:16Hmm.
00:20:17Well, it's fine.
00:20:18Fine.
00:20:23Oh.
00:20:24Oh, I'm sorry.
00:20:25I thought this was the Marshall house.
00:20:26It is.
00:20:27Is Miss Marshall here?
00:20:29I'm Miss Marshall.
00:20:31I mean, you're Mary Marshall.
00:20:33Oh, Barbara, stop teasing that young man.
00:20:35I'm Mary's aunt.
00:20:36You're Zachary?
00:20:37Yes.
00:20:38This is Barbara, my foolish daughter.
00:20:40Hello.
00:20:41Hi.
00:20:42May I take your coat and hat?
00:20:45Hello, Zach.
00:20:46Hello, Mary.
00:20:47Why, you were quick.
00:20:48Mary, take Zachary into the living room.
00:20:50Make him comfortable.
00:21:02Henry, dinner.
00:21:03On the table.
00:21:04We'll be in a minute.
00:21:05Uh, Barbara.
00:21:06Come with me, dear.
00:21:07I need you.
00:21:08Oh, Mother.
00:21:13Mrs. Swell, I haven't been in a real home like this in almost as long as I can remember.
00:21:19It's too bad about you missing your sister.
00:21:23Well, uh, Mary, uh, I'm in this house under false pretenses.
00:21:29I haven't any sister.
00:21:30I just made all that up.
00:21:32When you said you were getting off the train at Pine Hill, I had to make up some sort of excuse so I could get off with you.
00:21:42Uh, good evening.
00:21:43Uh, Uncle Henry, this is Zachary Morgan, my uncle.
00:21:44Happy to have you here, Sergeant.
00:21:46Happy.
00:21:47Make yourself at home.
00:21:49Happy to do whatever we can for the armed forces.
00:21:50Man always feels these days, you know, he's not doing enough.
00:21:51Uh, how about a drink?
00:21:52I have some bourbon.
00:21:53No, thank you.
00:21:54No, thank you.
00:21:55I'm not drinking, uh, just now.
00:21:56Oh, well, to let you know a little secret.
00:21:57Neither am I.
00:21:58That's a funny thing.
00:21:59People that have it, don't worry.
00:22:00Well, fine, fine.
00:22:01People that can't get it, you ought to see the act they put on my drugstore to get that stuff.
00:22:06Supper's ready.
00:22:07All right.
00:22:22Supper's ready.
00:22:24Come and get it.
00:22:27Hungry?
00:22:34Mary, use it over here.
00:22:35Zach, down there.
00:22:44We thank you, God, for our daily bread.
00:22:46We will do our best to deserve it.
00:22:49We know that you are present here with us.
00:22:52That you are smiling upon our two guests, Mary and Zachary.
00:22:57Please look after all our dear ones and all the boys who are fighting for our country.
00:23:04Amen.
00:23:05You're not very used to saying grace, are you, Zach?
00:23:08No.
00:23:09In the army, I guess you don't have time.
00:23:11Well, didn't you even say it when you were a kid?
00:23:14When I was a kid, I did.
00:23:15I mean, it's just sort of routine.
00:23:18You say it as if you meant it, sir.
00:23:20I do, Sergeant.
00:23:21Makes me want to say that I am grateful, too, for being here.
00:23:24Everything.
00:23:25Thank you, Zachary.
00:23:26You must be quite a soldier.
00:23:29I wouldn't say that.
00:23:30The Good Conduct Medal, two campaigns in the South Pacific, and the Purple Heart.
00:23:37For heaven's sake, Barbara, where'd you turn all that?
00:23:40Oh, a girl gets to know medals like she does Boogie Woogie.
00:23:43But the Purple Heart, that means you were wounded.
00:23:46Barbara, stop asking questions.
00:23:47I'm sure Sergeant Morgan doesn't like it.
00:23:49Well, come on, Zach, tell us how you got to be a hero.
00:23:52Barbara, after dinner, you go upstairs and take off some of that lipstick.
00:23:56Looks as if you fell in a pot of red paint.
00:24:00Go on, eat your soup, Sergeant.
00:24:02Before it gets cold, that's orders.
00:24:04You must have been disappointed not to find your sister.
00:24:07Well, Mrs. Marshall...
00:24:09Oh, she took a defense job in California, didn't she?
00:24:14Are you mad at me, Zach?
00:24:17Huh?
00:24:18For asking all those questions.
00:24:20No.
00:24:23I'm not mad.
00:24:25You mad?
00:24:27No, I'm not mad.
00:24:29No.
00:24:42Dad!
00:24:43Huh?
00:24:44Dad, I want to ask you a question.
00:24:45All right.
00:24:46By the way.
00:24:48You know, you never told me anything about Mary.
00:24:51I mean, why she was sent to prison and why she...
00:24:54You can find out about that some other time.
00:24:57When you're a little older.
00:24:58But it can't be so secret.
00:25:00I don't see why I shouldn't know.
00:25:01Barbara, find out about that some other time.
00:25:04Just that Mary made a little mistake and that's all there is to it.
00:25:08But they don't send people to prison for just doing nothing.
00:25:11Now, look, Barbara.
00:25:12I'm trying to listen to the radio and work this puzzle.
00:25:14And I can't take you on any other jobs at the moment.
00:25:16But what if my friends ask me about her?
00:25:17What do I tell them?
00:25:18They want to know what...
00:25:19Just tell them that Mary is your cousin.
00:25:22From that point on, they can mind their own business.
00:25:24And it seems to me that your business might be helping your mother out in the kitchen.
00:25:27Oh, Dad. Sometimes the way you talk to me, you make me feel like I'm an adopted daughter or something.
00:25:33Mm-hmm.
00:25:57It's from the outside.
00:25:59Excited jump?
00:26:00It's insane.
00:26:03Franklin.
00:26:04Behave yourself.
00:26:05Get up from that pavement, this man's...
00:26:07Oh, you'll all catch your death a cold.
00:26:09Now, now, now, now.
00:26:11Oh, I'll tell your father.
00:26:13I'll tell your father, that's...
00:26:15Not one Christmas present for you.
00:26:17Is the war really like that?
00:26:19I guess so.
00:26:21That's funny.
00:26:22Why?
00:26:23I mean that you should only guess so.
00:26:25I only guess so.
00:26:27Well, they have experts making those pictures.
00:26:30I guess that's the way they see the war.
00:26:33Beach a mile long, thousands of soldiers and tanks and machine guns and everything.
00:26:37I guess that's the way it is.
00:26:40But it wasn't that way for you, huh?
00:26:44It's just a difference in size.
00:26:46To a guy that's in it, the war is about ten feet wide and kind of empty.
00:26:51It's you and a couple of fellas in your company, maybe, maybe a couple of Japs.
00:26:56It's all kind of mixed up.
00:26:59Sometimes it's all full of noise and sometimes it's quiet.
00:27:03It all depends on what you're thinking about, I guess.
00:27:06It depends on how scared you are and how cold you are and how wet you are.
00:27:12I guess if you asked a hundred guys what the war is like, they'd all give you a different answer.
00:27:19Mary, you know what?
00:27:24I mean, usually you don't like to talk about it.
00:27:30I never said anything about it before, not to anybody.
00:27:34I'm sorry, I...
00:27:35No!
00:27:37No, I feel kind of good.
00:27:40Let's go have a drink or something.
00:27:49All right, sit back here.
00:27:51I had that booth reserved for you.
00:27:52Nothing's too good for the army.
00:27:53No offense, my sailor.
00:27:54Okay, my friend.
00:27:55You see, I'm an old army man myself.
00:27:56Yes, sir.
00:27:57What do you have, Mary?
00:27:58Oh, a cup of coffee.
00:27:59Oh, come on.
00:28:00It's Christmas.
00:28:01The sky's the limit.
00:28:02Have a piece of pie with it.
00:28:04No, I'll just have a cup of coffee.
00:28:05Two coffees.
00:28:06Coming up.
00:28:07Two cups of chava.
00:28:08You sure you won't have anything else?
00:28:09Not after that wonderful dinner Aunt Sarah prepared for us.
00:28:11They're nice people.
00:28:12You're nice people too.
00:28:13Hot java for the army.
00:28:15Hey, soldier.
00:28:16You've certainly been places.
00:28:17Oh, come on.
00:28:18Oh, come on.
00:28:19It's Christmas.
00:28:20Oh, come on.
00:28:21It's Christmas.
00:28:22The sky's the limit.
00:28:23Have a piece of pie with it.
00:28:24No, I'll just have a cup of coffee.
00:28:25Two coffees.
00:28:26Two cups of chava.
00:28:27You sure you won't have anything else?
00:28:28Not after that wonderful dinner Aunt Sarah prepared for us.
00:28:30They're nice people.
00:28:31You're nice people too.
00:28:33Hot java for the army.
00:28:35Well, so shall I...
00:28:37There you are.
00:28:39Hey, soldier.
00:28:40You've certainly been places.
00:28:42Looks like some cream, Mary.
00:28:45No, thanks.
00:28:46You know, I was just a boy of 18 over in France in World War Number One.
00:28:50You know, they're kidding themselves.
00:28:52This is the same kind of war.
00:28:54You sure you won't have some cream?
00:28:56No, I don't use it.
00:28:57The Navy, Marine, Air Force, they're okay.
00:28:59But this one's gonna be one just like the last one.
00:29:01A soldier like you or me walking out on his own two feet and slugging it out.
00:29:07I took off some weight since my time.
00:29:09Used to be heavyweight champion of the regiment.
00:29:11Got a couple of funny medals.
00:29:14There you are.
00:29:16Yes, sir.
00:29:17When this thing starts, I try to sign up again.
00:29:19I tell them I want a chance to knock a couple of Jap heads together.
00:29:22Still do it too.
00:29:23Squash them like eggs I could.
00:29:25They won't let me fight.
00:29:28Why?
00:29:29Won't encounter this tick in my face.
00:29:31Nothing touched me in that last war.
00:29:33I got a bit of shell shock.
00:29:34It left me with this.
00:29:35Nobody ever notices it.
00:29:36That young doctor squirt, not dry behind his ears.
00:29:38He turns me down.
00:29:39I don't get it.
00:29:40Thank you, Mary.
00:29:41Thank you, Mary.
00:29:42Thank you, Mary.
00:29:43Thank you, Mary.
00:29:47Thank you, Mary.
00:29:48Thank you, Mary.
00:29:49Thank you, Mary.
00:29:50Thank you, Mary.
00:29:54Thank you, Mary.
00:30:21I think you ought to know something.
00:30:26What is it, Zach?
00:30:29Well...
00:30:30I wish I could tell you.
00:30:35You probably think.
00:30:40I bet I could do better than that.
00:30:50Thank you, Miss.
00:30:52I know.
00:30:57Thank you, Mary.
00:31:01Thank you, Mary.
00:31:02Thank you, Mary.
00:31:10To the door.
00:31:11Oh, I need help.
00:31:12Maybe.
00:31:13I like to see my own face.
00:31:14I don't know.
00:31:15You know, the office.
00:31:16I like to see my own face.
00:31:17I don't know.
00:31:18Hello.
00:31:20Oh, hello.
00:31:23I thought you were asleep.
00:31:25No, I've been burning the midnight oil.
00:31:28It's my morale list.
00:31:36It's fun to think that I'm the pin-up girl for at least five fellows.
00:31:39And it's part of the war effort.
00:31:41I keep up their morale, maybe.
00:31:44Must be nice to be able to keep up somebody's morale.
00:31:48Well, I imagine you could write to a lot of them.
00:31:50You know, they just like to get mail from anybody.
00:31:53I mean, you don't have to know them awfully well to...
00:31:58Well, what I mean is that...
00:32:01When I was 17, I had a little trouble finding the right words, too.
00:32:09Is Zack stationed here?
00:32:14What I'm in prison for isn't catching.
00:32:18I'm sorry, Mary.
00:32:20I keep hurting you.
00:32:22And I really don't want to.
00:32:26I guess it is uncomfortable for you to...
00:32:29To meet somebody who's been in prison.
00:32:33Maybe when you get to know me, you'll feel differently.
00:32:35I want to know you, Mary.
00:32:37Really, I do.
00:32:38How much do you know about me?
00:32:39Not much.
00:32:40Mother and Dad still treat me like a child.
00:32:41Everything's a big secret.
00:32:42I'm sorry, Mary.
00:32:43I'm sorry, Mary.
00:32:44I keep hurting you.
00:32:45I...
00:32:46I really don't want to.
00:32:47I don't want to know you, Mary.
00:32:48I don't want to know you.
00:32:49I don't want to know you, Mary.
00:32:50Really, I do.
00:32:51How much do you know about me?
00:32:52Not much.
00:32:53Mother and Dad still treat me like a child.
00:32:54Everything's a big secret.
00:32:55I don't think it'd hurt for you to know.
00:32:56As a matter of fact, I think it might help.
00:32:58When I was your age, my mother died.
00:33:00Oh, I remember her.
00:33:01Way back when I was young.
00:33:02She used to make clothes for my favorite doll.
00:33:07Ooh, she was wonderful with her hands.
00:33:08And some time after that, my father went north on business.
00:33:14And then when he died, I was on my own.
00:33:28But I got a pretty good job as a secretary.
00:33:29a good job as a secretary and my job brought me in contact with a lot of nice men one of whom
00:33:34might have turned out i thought to be the one who would give me all the things that you dream about
00:33:38when you're 20 and lonely one day when i was called into my boss's office he invited me to a party
00:33:47in his apartment he was single and i started dreaming bosses do marry their secretaries
00:33:54i took what money i'd saved and i bought an evening dress i thought it was very fancy i wanted to look
00:34:00good in front of his high-class friends he'd sent me an orchid a white orchid the first one i'd ever had
00:34:07i was wearing it when the door opened i walked into the biggest apartment i'd ever seen
00:34:15i thought it was rich and elegant i'd wanted to impress him so i got there a little late
00:34:21i wanted to make an entrance all by myself but nobody else was there i should have had sense
00:34:27enough then to get out but i didn't he'd been drinking a long time before i got there i guess
00:34:33and he kept right on he told me that he hadn't invited anyone else and that the white orchid and
00:34:41all that was just his way of getting me up there i i tried to talk my way out and and then when that
00:34:52didn't work i made a break for it i didn't scream i was too frightened i guess i tried to get away from
00:35:03him but i couldn't he seemed to be everywhere it was all mixed up like some terrible kind of a dream
00:35:10once i almost got away when he fell over a chair but he caught me again and dragged me back
00:35:16then i pushed him as hard as i could and he fell back through the window
00:35:24his apartment was on the 14th floor
00:35:27mary how awful maybe i shouldn't have told you no i'm glad you did but it's wrong they
00:35:42they shouldn't have sent you to prison if i'd been lucky enough to get away before he was killed and
00:35:48there wouldn't have been any crime but after all a man was dead the jury said manslaughter
00:36:00guilty guilty well that meant six years
00:36:17is
00:36:32please forgive me mary
00:36:39Oh, Mary, see who that is, will you?
00:36:49Mm-hmm.
00:36:52Hello?
00:36:54Oh, good morning, Zach.
00:36:58Well, well, if it's important, of course I can see you.
00:37:03Do you want to come here?
00:37:05Well, I'd rather not.
00:37:06I hate to keep barging in on your uncle's house.
00:37:08Uh, Mary, I want to talk to you about last night, and I need some time.
00:37:14Well, I have the time, plenty of time.
00:37:17Where do you want to meet?
00:37:19Well, I asked about here, and they say there's a bus that goes out to the lake.
00:37:24It's pretty out there, and there aren't so many people.
00:37:38Not so bad, is it?
00:37:48No.
00:37:48I told you there was no use wasting any gas.
00:37:50It's only a short buck from here.
00:37:52I know.
00:37:52You're trying to wear me out before we tee off.
00:37:54I got it.
00:37:55Hiya, Chuck.
00:37:56How have you been?
00:37:57Hiya.
00:37:58How are you?
00:37:58Fine.
00:37:59Fine.
00:38:00Well, that's so pretty.
00:38:01Hiya.
00:38:02Hiya.
00:38:03How are you?
00:38:04Are you born in this far out of the country?
00:38:28Mm-hmm.
00:38:30I was born in Maryland.
00:38:31You get used to Christmastime being cold and snowy.
00:38:36I don't know. This scene is more like Christmas to me
00:38:38than the kind they have back east.
00:38:40I mean, this is more like the country
00:38:42where they celebrated the first Christmas.
00:38:46This reminds me of a lake I used to go to when I was a kid.
00:38:50Every spring, I had a job repairing the boats.
00:39:01Mary.
00:39:08I want to tell you why I got mad at that man in the coffee shop last night
00:39:11and why I walked away from you
00:39:12after I threw that rock at the lamppost and missed it.
00:39:16I knew there must be some reason, but you don't have to tell me.
00:39:21Look, I was brought up in a home, an orphan's home.
00:39:25That's nothing to be ashamed of.
00:39:27I'm not. It's not like being in prison or anything like that.
00:39:31No.
00:39:32Well...
00:39:34In the home, there was a janitor.
00:39:36This fellow had been in the last war.
00:39:38He was a young guy.
00:39:42He was a shell-shock case.
00:39:46Whenever we could get our hands on any firecrackers,
00:39:48we'd bang him off and laugh at him when he jumped.
00:39:54Well...
00:39:57The fellow in the coffee shop reminded me of the janitor
00:39:59and they both made me think of myself
00:40:00and what I'd be like in a few years.
00:40:05The only difference is that
00:40:06now in the hospital they have a fancy name for it.
00:40:09Neuropsychiatric.
00:40:12But the doctors must know a lot more about it now
00:40:14than they did during the last war.
00:40:16Maybe.
00:40:19They don't know something about me that I know.
00:40:21You see...
00:40:23Before I became an engineer,
00:40:26I was an athlete, a pretty good one.
00:40:28I know what my timing used to be. They don't.
00:40:31And it's gone, Mary.
00:40:34Before this happened to me,
00:40:35I could have hit that lamppost all day.
00:40:40I don't know why I'm bothering you.
00:40:41Yes, I do. I know I'm bothering you.
00:40:44Yes, I do. I know I'm bothering you.
00:40:47Because I feel so much better when I talk to you.
00:40:50I like to be with you.
00:40:51I like to be with you, too.
00:40:53Mary, I want to talk about you.
00:40:54Listen, tell me.
00:40:56What?
00:40:58Well, for instance,
00:41:00how did you become a traveling sales lady?
00:41:03And what do you sell?
00:41:05Well, as I told you,
00:41:08I started out wanting to be a model.
00:41:11And after that,
00:41:13I got a job with a dress manufacturing company.
00:41:18And now I travel for them.
00:41:20Well,
00:41:22where do you travel?
00:41:23After your vacation,
00:41:24where do you go?
00:41:26I go back to Dallas.
00:41:28And from Dallas,
00:41:29I go to New Orleans.
00:41:30New Orleans?
00:41:31I didn't answer this well.
00:41:33Well, you've been to New Orleans.
00:41:35Have you ever been to Florida?
00:41:36No.
00:41:38I go from New Orleans to Florida.
00:41:39New Orleans to Florida.
00:41:40New Orleans to Florida, right?
00:41:41Palm Beach.
00:41:51Mary,
00:41:52can you make me believe in myself
00:41:53the way you believe in yourself?
00:41:56What makes you think I do?
00:41:58I can tell.
00:42:00The way you talk,
00:42:01the way you walk,
00:42:03the way you look,
00:42:04the way you hold your head.
00:42:05Well,
00:42:06maybe that's just make-believe.
00:42:13Um,
00:42:14why don't we go down here by the rock, huh?
00:42:15Like boats?
00:42:24Mm-hmm.
00:42:25You?
00:42:27Some little kid probably on that boat
00:42:29thought it could take him all the way around the world and back.
00:42:31Wish it could.
00:42:33Wish we could get on it and sail away to...
00:42:35where would you like to go?
00:42:38Not,
00:42:39not, uh,
00:42:40Florida or New Orleans.
00:42:44It's a place like the moon, maybe.
00:42:47With a good breeze and a good compass,
00:42:49maybe we could find a place.
00:42:50Well,
00:42:51if it were a real boat and the moon a real place.
00:42:56Would you go?
00:43:00There's no harm in dreaming.
00:43:01I'd go.
00:43:15Uh-uh.
00:43:16Uh-uh.
00:43:17I'm not going to have you run out on me again.
00:43:28Thank you, thank you.
00:43:29One and all.
00:43:30I never could figure out why the pudding never gets burned.
00:43:33I've never been able to figure that out either.
00:43:34Must be the alcohol and the brandy, huh?
00:43:36Nothing.
00:43:37Personally, I think it's a shame to burn good brandy.
00:43:40That quart I brought home last week was imported coniac.
00:43:43Oh, don't worry, Henry.
00:43:44I didn't burn up the whole quart.
00:43:45Oh, I wouldn't trust Mom with it, Dad.
00:43:47Maybe you're right.
00:43:48Remember last year how Ma got going on just a glass of sherry?
00:43:51Oh, now, I'm not going to listen to that again.
00:43:54You may not believe this about your dear Aunt Sarah,
00:43:56but last year she got high as a kite.
00:43:59They're trying to drag out a family skeleton,
00:44:01Mrs. Marshall.
00:44:02I won't listen to them.
00:44:03Oh, he's just one of those little things that happen.
00:44:06People start exaggerating.
00:44:08Exaggerate my eye.
00:44:09It's as true as I sit here.
00:44:10Last year, Mother and I had a glass of sherry
00:44:12to bring in the New Year.
00:44:13And then we went to a little gathering,
00:44:15all the way across town it was.
00:44:16Mother had her skirt on backwards, backwards.
00:44:20See here, Henry, if you're in such good voice,
00:44:22how about a Christmas carol?
00:44:23Aunt Sarah, something tells me you're trying to change the subject.
00:44:26Nothing of the sort.
00:44:27Christmas carols go with plum pudding,
00:44:29and that's what we're eating, plum pudding.
00:44:31Well, Sarah, you don't have to work so hard at it.
00:44:34I'm pretty good baritone.
00:44:35I don't need much urging.
00:44:36Well, what'll it be?
00:44:37Oh, I think I like best.
00:44:39Come, all ye faithful.
00:44:40Fine, fine.
00:44:41Come, all ye faithful it is.
00:44:43Me, oh, no.
00:44:45Me.
00:44:46Come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant.
00:44:55Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem.
00:45:03Come and behold him, born the King of angels.
00:45:10Oh, come let us adore him.
00:45:14Oh, come let us adore him.
00:45:18Oh, come...
00:45:23Come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
00:45:31Well, it feels pretty comfortable to have another man's voice around here at Christmas time.
00:45:35I'm sure Barbara's doing her best to arrange that for you, Henry.
00:45:38Mother.
00:45:39Oh, darling, maybe family jokes are in bad taste.
00:45:42They make the guests feel out of place.
00:45:44No, ma'am.
00:45:46I haven't felt so easy in a long time.
00:45:48It was the best Christmas dinner I ever had.
00:45:51Yesterday I was a stranger here.
00:45:52I...
00:45:54I mean, I...
00:45:55I felt like a prisoner inside myself.
00:45:58Now, uh...
00:46:00Just to be at a home like this with people like you.
00:46:05Maybe some place I can come back to next month or...
00:46:08or next year.
00:46:15Did I say something?
00:46:16No, Zach, no.
00:46:17He's just a very sentimentalist...
00:46:18Excuse me, Father.
00:46:19Christmas?
00:46:20Mary, what's the matter?
00:46:30Was there anything I said?
00:46:32Anything to do with this afternoon?
00:46:33No, it was just a combination of things.
00:46:40The pudding and the...
00:46:42The singing.
00:46:44And the very nice things you said.
00:46:46The first time my singing ever brought me by to tears.
00:46:52Maybe I'd better get out of here, hmm?
00:46:55That isn't polite to eat and run.
00:46:58I mean Pine Hill, how to leave here alone.
00:47:00Yeah.
00:47:02You're just fishing.
00:47:04You want me to ask you to stay?
00:47:05Well, ask me.
00:47:08Please stay.
00:47:11Sarah, this is silly.
00:47:12We can't just sit here all night.
00:47:13Well, Henry, they've got to have a couple of minutes...
00:47:14to talk things over.
00:47:15They've had a couple of minutes.
00:47:16Come on, Dad.
00:47:17Let's go on in.
00:47:19We'd better give them a warning first.
00:47:21Well, that's all the plum pudding I can eat.
00:47:25Can't eat it another bit.
00:47:27Let's play the radio.
00:47:29Fine, fine.
00:47:30Come down.
00:47:31It's present time, present time.
00:47:32Henry's going to act with Santa Claus.
00:47:33Come on.
00:47:34Here you are, Mother.
00:47:35That's for you, dear.
00:47:36Oh, that's for me.
00:47:37Thanks.
00:47:38Oh, that's for me.
00:47:39Thanks.
00:47:40Let's go on in.
00:47:41Let's go on in.
00:47:42We'd better give them a warning first.
00:47:43Well, that's all the plum pudding I can eat.
00:47:45Can't eat it another bit.
00:47:46Let's play the radio.
00:47:47Fine, fine.
00:47:51Come down.
00:47:52It's present time.
00:47:53Present time.
00:47:54Henry's going to act with Santa Claus.
00:47:55Come on.
00:47:56Here you are, Mother.
00:47:57That's for you, dear.
00:47:58Oh, that for me.
00:47:59Thanks.
00:48:00Look at the size of it.
00:48:02Oh, no.
00:48:03No, you cannot.
00:48:04I bet I know what it is.
00:48:06Oh, Henry, darling.
00:48:07You didn't get it.
00:48:08Oh, you're all prepared.
00:48:09Oh, look it is.
00:48:10Look at it.
00:48:11Oh, no, it is.
00:48:12That's great.
00:48:13You'll be surprised.
00:48:14I want to make surgery.
00:48:15Here you are, darling.
00:48:17Does that get it here?
00:48:18Zach.
00:48:19Oh, I hope you like it, dear.
00:48:20Merry Christmas.
00:48:29Oh, I understood, Mary.
00:48:30When Zach said he was a stranger, you felt as if the words were coming from your own lips.
00:48:45Might have happened to any girl.
00:48:46Could have been just Christmas sentiment.
00:48:48Good night, Mary.
00:48:49Good night, Uncle Henry.
00:48:50Good night.
00:48:51Good night.
00:48:52Don't forget to turn out the lights, Sarah.
00:48:54All right, dear.
00:48:55So don't worry about making a scene.
00:48:59Well, I'm not worrying about that, Sarah.
00:49:03I was just wondering if I shouldn't tell him about me.
00:49:07Oh, not for the world.
00:49:09You don't think so?
00:49:11Well, why?
00:49:14Well, he trusts me, and it doesn't seem fair.
00:49:19Oh, but there's no reason for it, Mary.
00:49:21He'll only be here for a few days.
00:49:23He's lonely, and you're making things pleasant for him.
00:49:27That's not the reason I'm seeing him, Aunt Sarah.
00:49:30Because I like him.
00:49:34I like him a lot.
00:49:36Of course you do, dear, but it isn't as if you were going to marry him.
00:49:41No.
00:49:43It's not as though I was going to marry him.
00:49:47I didn't mean it like that, dear.
00:49:50I know.
00:49:54Have fun, Mary.
00:49:56See Zack every day if you like.
00:49:58Act like any other girl.
00:50:01I try, Aunt Sarah, but I...
00:50:03I can't seem to make myself feel like any other girl.
00:50:07I just feel like me.
00:50:11And that's pretty darn good.
00:50:13Now you have fun.
00:50:15Hey, you two.
00:50:20What's cooking?
00:50:21Remember, Mary, I don't think so.
00:50:25Good night, dear.
00:50:26Good night, Sarah.
00:50:28She doesn't think so what?
00:50:32She doesn't think there really is a Santa Claus.
00:50:37Mother, look. It just fits.
00:50:40Oh, I love it.
00:50:42Do you think a long skirt?
00:50:44But it's for New Year's Eve. It has to be long.
00:50:46Isn't it a little old for you, dear?
00:50:48Well, for heaven's sake, Mother, I'm going out with the lieutenant.
00:50:50Yes, darling, I'm quite aware of the responsibility of the occasion.
00:51:08But that neckline...
00:51:09Oh, so that's it?
00:51:10Well, for your information, Mother, this neckline is a morale builder.
00:51:15Finds a morale builder.
00:51:17How would you like to try on this one?
00:51:20Oh, that's lovely.
00:51:21Yes, it's one of the best designs we have.
00:51:23Oh, no, Mommy, please.
00:51:24I want this one.
00:51:26Oh, all right, dear.
00:51:28It fits you perfectly.
00:51:29Oh, and it feels perfect, too.
00:51:31I'll be right back.
00:51:38You like this one, don't you, Mary?
00:51:40It's lovely.
00:51:42Then you're going to have it.
00:51:43Oh, no.
00:51:44Now, you listen to me, Mary.
00:51:46You can't wear the same clothes day after day.
00:51:48Your soldier boy's going to get tired of them.
00:51:50Well, I've been fooling you well enough so far.
00:51:53I've been wearing one blouse after another.
00:51:54I don't need a dress, dear.
00:51:56Now, Zach's made a big thing of inviting us all to this New Year's Eve party.
00:51:59You can't wear a suit.
00:52:01I'll manage.
00:52:02Henry and I have talked it over.
00:52:04We want you to have a dress.
00:52:06Oh, Henry will be so disappointed if you don't accept it.
00:52:10Darling, I'll only be able to wear it once.
00:52:12It'll be out of style in three years.
00:52:15Then we'll burn it.
00:52:16Miss?
00:52:17Yes?
00:52:17My niece would like to try on this dress.
00:52:18Oh, it'll be fine on you.
00:52:20Go on, dear.
00:52:21Try it on.
00:52:22Well, all right.
00:52:23I'll try it on.
00:52:27How about you, Mrs. Marshall?
00:52:28Oh, thank you, my.
00:52:30Lavender's still good.
00:52:32Oh, Mother, she's going to be swell.
00:52:34Oh, thank you.
00:52:36Now, you run along and pick up your father at the store.
00:52:38Okay.
00:52:39Oh, thanks again.
00:52:41You're so wonderful.
00:52:42You know how impatient your father is.
00:52:44Now, run along.
00:52:45Oh.
00:52:50How much is this dress?
00:52:52$69.
00:52:53Oh, would you take the tag off, please?
00:52:58Hmm?
00:53:01Look.
00:53:03Here's $30.
00:53:06And when my aunt asks you the price,
00:53:08would you tell her it's $39 instead of $69?
00:53:11It's a bargain.
00:53:17Miss.
00:53:18How much was that dress?
00:53:23$39.
00:53:24Well, I'll give you $20.
00:53:26And when I ask you again how much it was,
00:53:28you tell me it's $19.
00:53:34You like it?
00:53:35Oh, it's darling, Anya.
00:53:38Isn't it sweet?
00:53:39It was made for you.
00:53:42Miss, how much is this dress?
00:53:46$19.
00:53:46Oh, that's a wonderful buy.
00:53:54What are you laughing at?
00:54:11How do you like my dress?
00:54:13Well, isn't it?
00:54:13Some have check, huh?
00:54:15Sure.
00:54:16Hello, Zach.
00:54:20Do you come in?
00:54:20Hello, Barbara.
00:54:29Don't you notice anything, Zach?
00:54:30Where?
00:54:31About me.
00:54:32Uh, got on too much lipstick again.
00:54:35Oh, hello, Zach.
00:54:39Oh, come on.
00:54:43Oh, well.
00:54:45Lieutenant Bruce, this is Sergeant Morgan.
00:54:47Oh, hello, Lieutenant.
00:54:48How do you do?
00:54:49Isn't a sergeant supposed to salute a lieutenant?
00:54:52Only on the street.
00:54:54Anyhow, from the decorations the sergeant's wearing,
00:54:56I'm the one who ought to do the saluting.
00:54:57That's not what he says in the book.
00:54:59My coat, Lieutenant?
00:55:00Sure, Your Majesty.
00:55:02Henry, are you ready?
00:55:04No, sir.
00:55:05I'm down here in my bathrobe, working on this puzzle.
00:55:07Don't be patient, dear.
00:55:08We'll be right down.
00:55:09Fine, fine.
00:55:10Good night, baby.
00:55:11Take care of her, Lieutenant.
00:55:12Oh, why does everybody treat me like a child?
00:55:15I can take care of myself.
00:55:16We won't be late.
00:55:17Good night, Mr. Marshal.
00:55:19Good night, sir.
00:55:19Here's a nice big piece of sky for you, Mr. Marshal.
00:55:25Get your hands ready.
00:55:27Now, let's get going, Zach, before they change their minds.
00:55:29Come back.
00:55:31And my gloves, and my purse, and...
00:55:34Sarah.
00:55:38Now, where is she?
00:55:39Sarah, are we going or...
00:55:41Henry, you let the cellar light on.
00:55:47Oh.
00:55:49Oh, Mrs. Marshal, this is for you.
00:55:52I hope you like camellias.
00:55:56This is for you, Mary.
00:55:57I hope you like light orchids.
00:55:58Oh, thank you, Zach.
00:56:00I haven't had a corsage in years.
00:56:02Henry, did you lock the kitchen door?
00:56:04Oh, let's go, Sarah.
00:56:06There's some mistake.
00:56:08Hmm?
00:56:10I knew I'd do it.
00:56:12Well, that's what happens when a man gets mixed up and thinks he shouldn't.
00:56:15The orchids are for you, Mary.
00:56:16Oh, that's all right, Aunt Sarah.
00:56:19Sarah, are we going tonight?
00:56:21Now, the camellias were promised to me, and I'm going to have them.
00:56:23Oh, it really doesn't matter.
00:56:25These were intended for you.
00:56:27Oh, thank you.
00:56:51Sarah.
00:56:52Well, darling, just give me a minute.
00:56:54Look at that.
00:56:55Oh, Sarah.
00:56:57We're going to be late.
00:56:59Flowers make you feel so like a party.
00:57:01Wasn't that sweet of Zach?
00:57:03Sarah?
00:57:06Oh, Henry.
00:57:06Johnny, you're always so impatient.
00:57:10Have you got the key?
00:57:11Oh, never mind.
00:57:16Tell me, Johnny, are you sure it's all right for a girl to go in the YMCA?
00:57:20Bye-bye.
00:57:20Bye-bye.
00:57:27Bye-bye.
00:57:35Bye-bye.
00:57:35Oh, change your partners, Toasty Dove.
00:58:05Oh, fun.
00:58:11Fun, fun.
00:58:15I don't know how it is, but every year at New Year's, I get so excited and sort of upset.
00:58:20I know what you mean. It's like being in on something big, something important.
00:58:25That's it, exactly.
00:58:28Back to your partners with a right and left grand.
00:58:35Thanks.
00:58:36Thanks, Mary. That was...
00:58:37Thank you, Uncle Henry.
00:58:38Well...
00:58:39I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day, In everything that's light and gay, I'll always think of you...
00:58:58Mary, you'd know. Two weeks ago, if somebody had told me I'd be dancing with a girl like you, you know what I'd have said?
00:59:04No. What would you have said?
00:59:05I'd have said... I'd have said I wouldn't be dancing with a girl like you.
00:59:10I'd be looking at the moon, But I'll be seeing you...
00:59:19Cutting in.
00:59:20Hello, Mary.
00:59:21Hello.
00:59:22Maybe you don't recognize me in the outfit Uncle Sam gave me.
00:59:24No, I'm sorry, I don't.
00:59:25Charlie Hartman in the economy department.
00:59:27Oh, yes. I'm terribly sorry. I'd forgotten. This is Sergeant Morgan. This is Charlie Hartman.
00:59:33Hi. How about a dance?
00:59:37Boy, am I surprised to see you, Mary.
00:59:59I didn't think you were trying to give me a brush.
01:00:01What happened? You know, I thought you were still...
01:00:04Well, I am. They gave me a ten-day Christmas vacation.
01:00:09Oh, good. Are you going to be around?
01:00:12Yes. Charlie, a fellow I'm with, he doesn't know about me, and I'd appreciate it very much if, you know, you wouldn't...
01:00:23Sure, Mary, forget it.
01:00:25Thanks, Charlie.
01:00:31Excuse me, would I have a light for you?
01:00:32Oh, yes, Sergeant. Have a cigar.
01:00:33Oh, thank you, sir.
01:00:34You've been in the South Pacific.
01:00:35Yes, help him.
01:00:37You're just the kind of man we want to talk to.
01:00:38Let me introduce myself. I'm Senator Hugh D. Emmett.
01:00:39How do you do, sir?
01:00:40This is...
01:00:41My friend John Toomes.
01:00:42Glad to know you, Sergeant.
01:00:43Marshal.
01:00:44Executive Chairman of the Committee that raised the funds that made this party possible.
01:00:59Thank you, sir.
01:01:00Sergeant, we would like to get the point of view of the soldiers about several things.
01:01:04Soldiers?
01:01:05Yes. We would like to know from you what the soldier thinks.
01:01:09Thinks about what?
01:01:10Oh, thinks about political issues.
01:01:13Senator, I don't know.
01:01:15What gives you the idea that just because a fellow puts on a soldier's suit, he thinks any differently from anybody else?
01:01:23Well, what does the soldier think?
01:01:27I'll tell you.
01:01:29Last time, some of us voted for Roosevelt and some of us didn't.
01:01:33Some of us weren't old enough to vote.
01:01:36Some soldiers think labor's got a right to strike and some soldiers think labor's got no rights at all.
01:01:42A lot of soldiers have got one idea about what should happen after the war.
01:01:47A lot of soldiers have other ideas.
01:01:49Me, I...
01:01:50I haven't the slightest notion what a lot of soldiers think.
01:01:53Senator?
01:01:55Thanks for the cigar.
01:01:57Somebody chipped me with his watch 15 years ago.
01:02:06It's New Year's.
01:02:07Oh, what heavens? We've got primary zag excuses.
01:02:27No doubt.
01:02:28...
01:02:37I haven't thought of it.
01:02:39I'm not gonna do that.
01:02:40I'm not gonna do that.
01:02:42I'm not gonna do that.

01:04:23You've got to treat him like an old friend.
01:04:38See what I mean? I'd hate to run into him in a dark alley.
01:04:41What do you think this is?
01:04:53Sank win!
01:04:58Sank! Sank!
01:05:00Stay away, Mary. Stay away.
01:05:11Sank? Sank!
01:05:23Doop! Doop!
01:05:28Doop! Doop! Doop! Doop!
01:05:36Doop! Doop!
01:05:50Are you hurt?
01:05:53No. No.
01:05:55Nobody could have been.
01:05:57Well, I'm sorry.
01:06:10Are you all right?
01:06:13You know... you know something?
01:06:15What?
01:06:16The doctor's going to be very surprised when they see you.
01:06:19They'll probably send you back to active duty.
01:06:21That lemonade must have been spiked.
01:06:23No, I really mean it.
01:06:25Do you realize what you did tonight?
01:06:26I bet you couldn't have done that a week ago.
01:06:28What?
01:06:29Well, I watched you all evening.
01:06:32When you were dancing and you never hesitated for words and your eyes didn't blink.
01:06:37And then when that dog attacked us, I've never seen anyone quite so fast on their feet.
01:06:41I didn't think about what I was doing.
01:06:42That's just it.
01:06:43You were so alert and keen and your timing was perfect.
01:06:47I hope you're right.
01:06:49I believe you are.
01:06:51Mary, you told me that in eight days, you can do a lot of believing.
01:06:56Well, you see, I'm the fellow that's on the radio that says life can be wonderful.
01:07:03You're wonderful.
01:07:04You're just saying that because you know I've got lots of money.
01:07:07You're wonderful.
01:07:08Because you know I've got very influential friends.
01:07:10Wonderful.
01:07:11Because of the social position.
01:07:23Mary, I know I'm going to get well.
01:07:26I've got plans, too.
01:07:27Lots of them.
01:07:28I know I'm going to stay well, too, because you figure in all my plans.
01:07:33You've got to figure in them, because without you, I'm...
01:07:37back where I started.
01:07:39I'm sunk.
01:07:41Just don't talk about it tonight, huh?
01:07:43I'm going to sleep.
01:07:45Okay.
01:07:47Tomorrow, before I go, I've got a lot of things to tell you.
01:07:51Good night, Zack.
01:07:53Happy New Year.
01:07:57I love you very much.
01:08:07Is that you, Mary?
01:08:24Are you all right?
01:08:28All right, Sarah. I love him so.
01:08:31What are you going to do?
01:08:32I don't know.
01:08:37He's going to ask me to marry him.
01:08:39He would have asked me tonight if I'd let him.
01:08:42Did you tell him?
01:08:43No.
01:08:45Are you going back on the train with him tomorrow?
01:08:47No, I...
01:08:49I'm going to catch a later train tomorrow night.
01:08:52Why don't you give yourself that extra time with him, Mary?
01:08:54Because I'm afraid to be alone with him, Aunt Sarah.
01:08:57I mustn't tell him.
01:08:59I lied to him.
01:09:00I told him I was going to stay here a couple of extra days.
01:09:03Don't you think he's strong enough yet to know about you?
01:09:07Well, I can't take that chance, Aunt Sarah.
01:09:09He's getting well, and...
01:09:11And I want him to go back to the hospital, sure of himself, and...
01:09:15and sure of me.
01:09:17Remember, what you have to do may seem to be second best, but...
01:09:23it may work out to be first best.
01:09:26Oh, Aunt Sarah, I hope so.
01:09:39Happy New Year, Mr. Laker.
01:09:43Happy New Year, Zack.
01:09:46Happy New Year, Zack.
01:09:49May I have this dance with you, Sergeant?
01:09:56Happy New Year.
01:10:17Hold on, Zack.
01:10:18Hold on.
01:10:20Hold on, Zack.
01:10:21Hold on.
01:10:22You're just a little tired, that's all.
01:10:25You just got through with a lot of excitement.
01:10:27That fight with the dog took a lot out of you.
01:10:29That's why you're sweating.
01:10:30It doesn't mean anything.
01:10:32Sit down, Zack.
01:10:33Sit down.
01:10:35Sit down, Zack.
01:10:37Sit down.
01:10:46That's it.
01:10:47Sit down.
01:10:48Take it easy.
01:11:02Don't get scared, Zack.
01:11:04Don't get scared.
01:11:05Maybe it is one of those things they told you it might happen.
01:11:16Not because they're in the middle of the old garden.
01:11:17Turn around.
01:11:20Leave me alone.
01:11:25pet, please, get out of me.
01:11:40No.
01:11:41Hang on, Zack. Hang on. You know what you're going to have to go through.
01:12:11It's sure banging away. It doesn't sound that loud. You're just thinking it does. That's all.
01:12:28The doc told you there's nothing wrong with your heart. Beating fast like that doesn't mean anything.
01:12:36This is it. You thought for a minute it wasn't, but it is. You're in for it now.
01:12:40So you're in for it now. You know the next step. You know what's coming now.
01:12:45It's tough to get hold of yourself, Zack. It's tough to get hold of yourself, Zack.
01:12:49Better call for a doctor. Let him get the hypo ready or maybe a tub.
01:13:10That's not what you want.
01:13:27No!
01:13:47Zack.
01:13:49Zack, Zack, Zack, you've got eight days to believe, eight days, you must believe, you must believe, must believe, must believe, must believe.
01:14:19I made it.
01:14:49Barbara, Barbara, that's awful stuff for a man to wake up to.
01:14:59How can you stand it so early in the morning?
01:15:01Oh, Dad, it's beautiful music, a lovely day, and a wonderful new year.
01:15:06That's the trouble with young people.
01:15:08They're so doggone young.
01:15:13Oh, there you are.
01:15:14I was beginning to think I'd have to bring your breakfast up to you in bed.
01:15:17Oh, it's not a bad idea, sir, I might try it sometime.
01:15:19That was the best part of having my appendix out.
01:15:21Oh, please, Henry, one egg or two.
01:15:23Three, I'm hungry.
01:15:28Good morning, Mr. Marshall.
01:15:29Oh, hello, Zack. Happy New Year.
01:15:31Thanks, Zack. Happy New Year to you.
01:15:32Have a good time last night?
01:15:34Oh, fine, fine.
01:15:35Best party I've been to since last New Year.
01:15:37Have you had your breakfast yet?
01:15:39Yes, sir, early.
01:15:40Well, here's the paper.
01:15:41Make yourself at home.
01:15:42Be with you in a minute.
01:15:43Thanks.
01:15:44Drive you down the station.
01:15:45Hope you enjoy Barbara's melodious concert.
01:15:47Who are you babbling to?
01:15:48Zack.
01:15:49Oh, uh, Mary.
01:15:51Morning, Mary.
01:15:52Good morning, Zack.
01:15:53Oh, good morning, Mrs.
01:15:55Hello, Mary.
01:15:56Hello, Zack.
01:15:57I was just in fixing some sandwiches for you to take with you.
01:16:00Uh, Mary, don't you think you'd better go and get ready to go down to the station?
01:16:02Yes, I'll go get my hat.
01:16:04Thanks.
01:16:05I'll be back in just a minute.
01:16:06Mary's fixing up a little box lunch for you.
01:16:08I want to get a string to tie it up with.
01:16:10You know how difficult it is to get anything to eat on the train these days.
01:16:12Very nice of you.
01:16:13Hello, Sergeant.
01:16:14Happy New Year.
01:16:15Good morning.
01:16:16Happy New Year.
01:16:17How was your party?
01:16:18Oh, solid.
01:16:19Solid.
01:16:20You going back to active duty, Zack?
01:16:21For a while, yeah.
01:16:22Gee, you look a lot better than you did a week ago.
01:16:24I feel a lot better.
01:16:25You think it was the Marshall Food that did it?
01:16:27Must have helped.
01:16:28I think it was mostly your cousin, Mary.
01:16:30She's awfully nice.
01:16:32I've noticed that, too.
01:16:35You know what?
01:16:36I think I'll marry you.
01:16:38Are you kidding?
01:16:39Not as far as I'm concerned.
01:16:40Of course, I don't know about her yet.
01:16:42Well, won't you mind waiting?
01:16:45Well, that's up to Mary, really.
01:16:47Things have worked out so well that I may not have to wait as long as I thought.
01:16:51Well, that's what the folks have always hoped for, that she won't have to serve her full term now.
01:16:55The fact that they let her out of prison for Christmas is a pretty good sign.
01:16:59You know, it wasn't until the other night when she told me how it all happened that I realized that it really isn't her fault.
01:17:06She's not a criminal.
01:17:08I mean, not like real criminals.
01:17:10Oh, it's too bad that you two can't go back on the train together.
01:17:14But then Mary isn't due in Easton until 9 o'clock tonight.
01:17:18She wants to spend as much time with us as she can, and you can't blame her after being locked up for three years.
01:17:24Come on, Zack. We're gonna be late. Mary?
01:17:30Well, goodbye, Zack. Have a nice trip and come back real soon.
01:17:33I hate to say goodbye, Zack.
01:17:35Come on. We're gonna be late.
01:17:36Thank you again, Mr. Marshall.
01:17:38Good luck.
01:17:39Thank you, Ken.
01:17:40You got the box? I'll get it.
01:17:51I hope you like chicken sandwiches.
01:18:03Zack, is there any special address, or do I just write to you in care of the hospital at Easton?
01:18:06Yeah, I can at the hospital.
01:18:08You can write to me in care of Uncle Henry's address, and they'll forward it to wherever I happen to be.
01:18:12Okay.
01:18:13Because I won't know what hotels I'll be able to stop at.
01:18:16Sure, sure. I understand.
01:18:24Good-bye, Mary.
01:18:25Good-bye, Zack. Here.
01:18:26Oh, thank you.
01:18:27Will you write to me?
01:18:28Sure.
01:18:29Sure.
01:18:30All right.
01:18:31Good-bye, Mary.
01:18:32Good-bye, Zack. Here.
01:18:33Oh, thank you.
01:18:34Zack.
01:18:35Will you write to me?
01:18:36Sure. Sure. All right.
01:18:37Zack, what's the matter? What's wrong?
01:18:38Oh, nothing. I'm not all right.
01:18:39Boy!
01:18:40Goodbye, Mary.
01:18:41Goodbye, Zack. Here.
01:18:42Oh, thank you.
01:18:43Zack, will you write to me?
01:18:44Sure. Sure. All right.
01:18:45Zack, what's the matter? What's wrong?
01:18:46Oh, nothing. I'm not all right.
01:18:47Boy!
01:18:48Goodbye, Mary.
01:18:49Goodbye, Zack.
01:18:50Goodbye.
01:18:51Goodbye.
01:18:52Goodbye.
01:18:53Goodbye.
01:18:54Goodbye.
01:18:55Goodbye, Zack.
01:18:56Goodbye.
01:18:57Goodbye.
01:18:58Goodbye.
01:18:59Goodbye.
01:19:00Goodbye.
01:19:01Goodbye.
01:19:02Goodbye.
01:19:03Goodbye.
01:19:04Goodbye.
01:19:05Goodbye.
01:19:06What's the matter with Zack, Mary?
01:19:07He acts kind of strange.
01:19:09I think I know.
01:19:11Zack.
01:19:13Zack.
01:19:16Zack.
01:19:20Zack.
01:19:21Mother.
01:19:27Look out there.
01:19:28Don't break any of those globes.
01:19:30Mother, if you'd been in Mary's place, wouldn't you have gone along with Zack?
01:19:35Never mind, dear. Don't ask them any questions.
01:19:38Well, as long as Zack's wanting to wait for Mary till she gets out of prison, I don't...
01:19:42Prison? Barbara.
01:19:43Barbara.
01:19:44You didn't tell him.
01:19:45Wasn't... wasn't Zack supposed to know?
01:19:48No.
01:19:51Why didn't anybody tell me?
01:19:54Why didn't you tell me, Mother?
01:19:57I'm sorry, dear.
01:20:00I should have told you.
01:20:02Mary's always treating me like a grown-up.
01:20:05I didn't want to hurt her and...
01:20:08I...
01:20:09I...
01:20:10I...
01:20:11I...
01:20:12I...
01:20:13I...
01:20:14I told him.
01:20:15I didn't want to hurt you.
01:20:16I...
01:20:17I didn't know.
01:20:18I...
01:20:19I...
01:20:20I...
01:20:21I...
01:20:22I told him.
01:20:23I...
01:20:24I didn't want to hurt you.
01:20:28I didn't know.
01:20:30I...
01:20:31I told him.
01:20:34I...
01:20:36I told him.
01:20:40Oh, my God.
01:21:10I'm so sorry.
01:21:40Mary, I'm so ashamed.
01:21:48Please forgive me.
01:21:52I love you, Mary, and I wouldn't want to hurt you, not for anything.
01:21:58I understand something.
01:22:04I understand something.
01:22:10I understand something now that I never knew before,
01:22:14that you could make a mistake and do something dreadful without me.
01:22:25Oh, Mary, no.
01:22:34It's all right, Barbara.
01:23:04Mary, I didn't want to make you cry.
01:23:08I'm sorry.
01:23:10Mary, I didn't want to make you cry.
01:23:16There's nothing wrong with crying at a time like this.
01:23:19The minute I got on the train, I knew why you didn't tell me.
01:23:23Nothing matters except that you're here.
01:23:27I'm terribly ashamed of walking out like that.
01:23:30I need you, Mary.
01:23:33I want to feel that you need me.
01:23:36Oh, I do, I do.
01:23:38I'll be right here.
01:23:40I'll be right here waiting.
01:23:43I'll be all well by then and ready to make a new start, too.
01:23:48I'll be right here waiting.
01:23:51I'll be all well by then and ready to make a new start, too.
01:23:55Oh, Zack.
01:23:58I love you so much.
01:24:25I've been really for a couple of hours!
01:24:26I'll be coming!
01:24:32Well, I will find you in the morning sol.
01:24:33And when the night is new...
01:24:35I'll be looking at the moon.
01:24:36But I'll be seeing...
01:24:37High!
01:24:43I'll be looking at the Moon!
01:24:45But I'll be seeing...
01:24:47f-
01:24:49f-
01:24:53Family!
01:24:54F-
01:24:55You
