00:03:57Are you trying to start a conversation with me?

00:04:04Hi everybody!
00:04:06Hi Max.
00:04:06All right, give me one rod.
00:04:12You with Guadal?
00:04:14I wouldn't be surprised if I was in the forest and moved you in there.
00:04:18Could be.
00:04:20We sure caught up for the first couple of weeks down there.
00:04:34Hiya pal!
00:04:43What are you crying for, dope?
00:04:45The sailor said hello to you, that's all.
00:04:48The kid must have some beef against the navy.
00:04:51Say, that's quite a layout out there.
00:04:54I don't like prisons. They give me the creeps.
00:04:56Well folks, you got nothing to worry about.
00:04:58If you get in the jam and wind up in the clink,
00:05:00I've got a friend who can give you a low number.
00:05:02Hot coffee!
00:05:03Get him on his house!
00:05:05Hot coffee!

00:05:19Holy cat!
00:05:22Once more, let's go!
00:05:23Let's try it again.
00:05:24Rock break scissors!
00:05:25Go on!
00:05:27Oh, paper covers rock.
00:05:30Oh, scissors cut paper.
00:05:34I've been waiting for this.
00:05:39No matter how this works, I lose arms.
00:05:42You want to try it?
00:05:44Too rich for me.
00:05:45How about you, miss?
00:05:46I'm afraid I couldn't take it.
00:05:47What do you say we look up the coffee guy
00:05:49and get something to eat?
00:05:50I'm loaded.
00:05:50I'll buy everybody coffee and sandwiches.
00:05:52No ifs, ands, or buts.
00:05:54The treat's on me.
00:05:55Papa's on a leave.
00:05:56I'll be back in a flash with the trash.
00:05:57I'll help you carry it.
00:06:02Are you going home on furlough?
00:06:04Yeah.
00:06:06I'm on furlough.
00:06:08They gave me a furlough.
00:06:12Is this your first time home since...
00:06:14Well, I haven't got any regular home or family.
00:06:18I'm just going to visit.
00:06:21Are you traveling on business or...?
00:06:23No, I'm on vacation.
00:06:26Christmas vacation.
00:06:27What kind of business are you in?
00:06:29I mean, what sort of work do you do?
00:06:32Well, I...
00:06:35I travel.
00:06:37Oh.
00:06:38I'm a traveling saleswoman...
00:06:40Sales lady.
00:06:42I never heard any jokes about traveling sales ladies.
00:06:44I guess there aren't many.
00:06:46I never would have guessed that's what you did.
00:06:49Oh, what...
00:06:50What would you have guessed?
00:06:52Oh, that you were a...
00:06:55I don't know...
00:06:58A secretary...
00:06:59A model, maybe.
00:07:01A school teacher.
00:07:03Well, I once was a secretary.
00:07:06I wanted to be a model.
00:07:08So that would have been pretty good guessing.
00:07:11Are you going all the way to L.A.?
00:07:13No.
00:07:15No, I haven't much farther to go, as a matter of fact.
00:07:18I'm getting off at Pine Hill.
00:07:20Oh.
00:07:22Oh, uh...
00:07:23Pine Hill, your home?
00:07:26No.
00:07:26No.
00:07:27I'm just visiting my uncle.
00:07:36That's funny.
00:07:37I'm going to Pine Hill too.
00:07:40Oh, really?
00:07:41Yeah.
00:07:43I'm visiting there.
00:07:44My sister lives in Pine Hill.
00:07:46I'll bet she'll be very glad to see you.
00:07:48I hope so.
00:07:50Maybe we'll run into each other there.
00:07:54Yes.
00:08:06Bye.
00:08:07Bye.
00:08:11617 North Elm Street.
00:08:12Oh, wait.
00:08:14If, uh...
00:08:15If anybody tried to telephone you,
00:08:18how could they get you?
00:08:20Well, uh...
00:08:21My uncle's name is in the telephone book.
00:08:24Uh, Henry Marshall.
00:08:25Henry Marshall?
00:08:26Mm-hmm.
00:08:26Good.
00:08:27Oh.
00:08:27What's your name?
00:08:29Mary.
00:08:30Mary...
00:08:30Mary Marshall.
00:08:31Mary Marshall.
00:08:32Uh-huh.
00:08:32Goodbye.
00:08:33Goodbye.
00:08:34Wait a minute.
00:08:36Uh...
00:08:36If somebody calls and says it's...
00:08:39Zachary Morgan, then that's me.
00:08:42Oh.
00:08:43Congratulations.
00:08:45Merry Christmas.
00:08:47Merry Christmas.
00:08:49Merry Christmas.
00:08:51$50,000.
00:08:51$50,000.hu
00:09:04B2. All
00:09:10right, so... You
00:09:13later. Well,
00:09:13if anything you want, just holler!
00:09:16We'd like to do whatever we can.
00:09:40Don't get worried, Zack.
00:09:42Don't get worried, Zack.
00:09:43Don't get worried, Zack.
00:09:44That bayonet wound is all healed,
00:09:46but the wound in your mind is going to take a little more time.
00:09:50That's why the doctors gave you this ten-day leave from the hospital
00:09:54to prove to you that you can go out in the world again
00:09:57and find a place for yourself.
00:10:25It's going to take a little while to get your timing back.
00:10:29You'll still drop things and be a little slow, but you'll get well.
00:10:33They told you you would.
00:10:36The important thing is not to get too tired.
00:10:40Not to give in.
00:10:42Then you won't get any of those...
00:10:44those things that wind up with a shot in the arm,
00:10:47or a tub, or that little room with a barred window.
00:10:51You can fight those things off, Zack,
00:10:53if you'll believe that you'll get well.
00:10:57Stop thinking about yourself, Zack.
00:11:01You'll get well.
00:11:22Here you are.
00:11:24Welcome home, dear. Come on in.
00:11:27How was your trip?
00:11:27Oh, it was fun.
00:11:29You haven't changed, Mary.
00:11:31Not at all.
00:11:33Thank you, Aunt Sarah.
00:11:34Oh, it's so good to be here.
00:11:36I'm so glad to have you with us, dear.
00:11:38Awfully glad.
00:11:40Barbara, come on down.
00:11:42You're going to share Barbara's room.
00:11:44Oh, dear, I don't want to disturb anybody.
00:11:46I don't want to...
00:11:46Oh, nonsense. Barbara would love to have you here, for heaven's sake.
00:11:49Give me your coat.
00:11:51Anyway, it's the guest room, or it was, before Barbara was born.
00:11:56Besides, I think it'll be a very good thing for Barbara.
00:11:58She's 17.
00:12:0017?
00:12:01And she's pretty spoiled and at an age.
00:12:04Oh, you know.
00:12:06I think an older girl would be a very good thing for her right now.
00:12:09Like you.
00:12:10Yes, like you.
00:12:12Now, there's a million things to talk about, but first you want to wash your...
00:12:16Hello, Mary. I'm awfully glad to see you.
00:12:19Hello, Barbara.
00:12:21Well, I never would have known you.
00:12:23She's grown into a beauty.
00:12:24Welcome home.
00:12:25Take Mary up to your room, dear.
00:12:27Follow me, lady, to my boudoir.
00:12:29Although it's small, not much bigger than the sound.
00:12:35Oh, I'm sorry, Mary.
00:12:38Look, there's just one thing.
00:12:40We all know that I've been in prison and that I'm going back in eight days.
00:12:45And there's no use pretending it isn't so.
00:12:48There just won't be any good unless everybody says what he thinks.
00:12:52Doesn't try to cover up.
00:12:53Oh, you're a fine girl, Mary.
00:12:55Now go out and see your room.
00:13:02That's Mom's room.
00:13:04I don't remember, Mary.
00:13:05Were you ever here before?
00:13:07Only once, when you were just a kid.
00:13:09Oh, here we are.
00:13:12All the comforts of home.
00:13:15Wow, this is nice, Barbara.
00:13:17We even have our own bathroom.
00:13:21This is where I sleep?
00:13:22Mm-hmm.
00:13:47I was just thinking, that's an awfully nice suit you have on, Mary.
00:13:52Well, thank you, Barbara.
00:13:55You were thinking of something else, too.
00:13:57Well, as a matter of fact, I was.
00:14:00Working up with this, I'll take it.
00:14:03You may as well tell me so we can both get it off our minds.
00:14:07Well, I...
00:14:10I just...
00:14:11Well, you see...
00:14:13I hadn't known that they gave these vacations or furloughs to people that...
00:14:20Well, you don't have to be shy about it, Barbara.
00:14:22I didn't know about it, either.
00:14:23Della Warden told me that in this state and in a few other states,
00:14:26they give special furloughs to people for good behavior.
00:14:29Well, I think it's wonderful that they have that confidence in you.
00:14:36Yes.
00:14:37I think so, too.
00:14:54The soup in the dish is mine.
00:14:56Yours is on the shelf.
00:15:02Mary?
00:15:03Yes, I heard you.
00:15:32Because it must be shy.
00:15:32It must be rid of there in the garden of the garden...
00:15:33It seems like the garden, the garden, the garden...
00:15:36I was looking forward to seeing you, Aunt Sarah.
00:15:38Oh, that's sweet of you, dear.
00:15:41As a matter of fact, selfish.
00:15:44I've been doing a lot of thinking in the past three years, Aunt Sarah.
00:15:48What sort of things were you thinking, Mary?
00:15:52Coming out into the world and...
00:15:56Even coming here, I had a feeling that...
00:15:59Honey, you've got to stop being afraid.
00:16:02You've got to stop being branded like people were in the old days.
00:16:06You've done something.
00:16:07You're paying your debt to society.
00:16:10Most people are willing to let it go at that.
00:16:12I know, Aunt Sarah, but coming out into the world
00:16:14and seeing everybody in uniform, everybody doing something...
00:16:18I...
00:16:19I just don't belong. I don't fit in.
00:16:23And dreams that I've had for the future...
00:16:28are...
00:16:30just impossible.
00:16:31Well, most dreams are, Mary.
00:16:34It's just the dreaming that counts.
00:16:36Nobody gets exactly what he wants out of life.
00:16:39One of the first things you learn is to make compromises with your dreams.
00:16:43But I'm not talking about palaces and rainbows, Aunt Sarah.
00:16:47I'm talking about a home.
00:16:49A home like this with a kitchen and a stove and an icebox...
00:16:54and a husband and a child.
00:16:57Yes, I have all that.
00:17:00Yet I used to dream about palaces and rainbows.
00:17:03But you're happy.
00:17:05Of course, because I didn't hold out for too much.
00:17:07I accepted what I thought was second best and made that do.
00:17:11Oh, it's something that everybody learns sooner or later.
00:17:14You have to get used to accepting what you think is second best...
00:17:17and then you find out it's first best after all.
00:17:22No, I...
00:17:23I don't see how...
00:17:24how that could...
00:17:30Yes, this is Mr. Marshall's home.
00:17:32Who is it?
00:17:33Oh, just a minute.
00:17:35It's for her.
00:17:37Why not?
00:17:38Mary, it's for you.
00:17:39Barbara, come help me set the table.
00:17:44Hello?
00:17:46Why, yes, Zack.
00:17:47This is me.
00:17:48Well, of course, I meant it.
00:17:51Well, I...
00:17:52I'd love to.
00:17:53Well, what about your sister?
00:17:56Oh, well, that's too bad.
00:17:59Well, I'd love to, Zack, but...
00:18:02Wait.
00:18:03Wait just a minute.
00:18:05Aunt Sarah?
00:18:06Mm-hmm?
00:18:06This is a soldier I met on the train and he's really very nice.
00:18:09He came here to visit his sister and finds that she's gone to California.
00:18:14And...
00:18:14He wants me to go to dinner with him and I was wondering if...
00:18:17A soldier?
00:18:18Well, why not ask him here for dinner?
00:18:21May I, Aunt Sarah?
00:18:22You ask him this instant and tell him not to be late.
00:18:25Hello, Zack.
00:18:27You ought to come over here to dinner, Zack.
00:18:31Oh, but we all want you.
00:18:34Yes, and Aunt Sarah says not to be late.
00:18:38It's 617 Elm Street.
00:18:40That's right.
00:18:42All right, goodbye.
00:18:45How did you ever happen to meet him?
00:18:47Well, hi.
00:18:48Was he good looking?
00:18:49I don't know.
00:18:50You don't know?
00:18:51Well, didn't you notice?
00:18:52Nah, Barbara, no more lallygagging.
00:18:53Hurry and get the table set.
00:18:54Your father will be here any minute.
00:18:55Whoa!
00:18:56A soldier for dinner!
00:19:07Oh, Babs.
00:19:08Hi, Dad.
00:19:10Did Mary get here yet?
00:19:12Oh, yes, he's in there.
00:19:13Oh, good.
00:19:16Thanks.
00:19:19Hello there.
00:19:20Hello.
00:19:21Welcome, Mary.
00:19:22Welcome.
00:19:23Hello, Uncle Henry.
00:19:24Well, you're looking fine.
00:19:25Fine.
00:19:27I'm happy to have you here, Mary.
00:19:29I mean it.
00:19:31Hey, you must have behaved really well for them to give you this vacation.
00:19:36I think that's fine.
00:19:38Well, it's just that they don't exactly look upon me as a criminal.
00:19:42No, of course not.
00:19:44I don't think of you as a criminal either.
00:19:46Otherwise, I'd never put up the lawyer money at your trial.
00:19:49Oh, I think you would, Henry.
00:19:50Ah, Sarah.
00:19:52What's done is done.
00:19:54Let's think no more about it.
00:19:56I want you to have a good time while you're here, Mary.
00:19:59I want you to feel just like any one of us.
00:20:01She's going to, Henry.
00:20:02We've invited the soldiers to dinner for her.
00:20:06You did?
00:20:07Mm-hmm.
00:20:08Hmm.
00:20:09Well, it's fine.
00:20:11Fine.
00:20:15Oh.
00:20:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:20:18I thought this was the Marshall house.
00:20:19It is.
00:20:20Is Miss Marshall here?
00:20:22I'm Miss Marshall.
00:20:24I mean, you're Mary Marshall.
00:20:26Oh, Barbara, stop teasing that young man.
00:20:28I'm Mary's aunt.
00:20:29You're Zachary?
00:20:30Yes.
00:20:30Yes.
00:20:31This is Barbara, my foolish daughter.
00:20:33Hello.
00:20:34Hi.
00:20:35May I take your coat and hat?
00:20:38Hello, Zach.
00:20:39Hello, Mary.
00:20:40Why, you were quick.
00:20:41Mary takes Zachary into the living room.
00:20:43Make him comfortable.
00:20:55Henry, dinner.
00:20:56On the table.
00:20:56We'll be in a minute.
00:20:58Barbara.
00:20:59Come with me, dear.
00:21:00I need you.
00:21:00Oh, Mother.
00:21:06Mrs. Well, I haven't been in a real home like this in almost as long as I can remember.
00:21:12It's too bad about you missing your sister.
00:21:15Well, uh, Mary, uh, I'm in this house under false pretenses.
00:21:23I haven't any sister.
00:21:24I just made all that up.
00:21:27When you said you were getting off the train at Pine Hill, I had to make up some sort of
00:21:33excuse
00:21:33so I could get off with you.
00:21:36Ah, good evening.
00:21:40Uh, Uncle Henry, this is Zachary Morgan, my uncle.
00:21:44Happy to have you here, Sergeant.
00:21:46Happy.
00:21:46Make yourself at home.
00:21:48Happy to do whatever we can for the armed forces.
00:21:50Man always feels these days, you know, he's not doing enough.
00:21:53Uh, how about a drink?
00:21:55I have some bourbon.
00:21:57No, thank you.
00:21:57I'm not drinking, uh, just now.
00:21:59Oh, well, I'll let you know a little secret.
00:22:02Neither am I.
00:22:04It's a funny thing.
00:22:05People that have it, don't worry.
00:22:07Fine, fine.
00:22:09People that can't get it?
00:22:10You ought to see the act they put on my drugstore to get that stuff.
00:22:15Supper's ready.
00:22:17Come and get it.
00:22:20Hungry?
00:22:26Mary, you sit over here.
00:22:28Zach, down there.
00:22:37We thank you, God, for our daily bread.
00:22:40We will do our best to deserve it.
00:22:42We know that you are present here with us.
00:22:45That you are smiling upon our two guests, Mary and Zachary.
00:22:50Please look after all our dear ones and all the boys who are fighting for our country.
00:22:57Amen.
00:22:59You're not very used to saying grace, are you, Zach?
00:23:02No, in the army, I guess you don't have time.
00:23:04Well, didn't you even say it when you were a kid?
00:23:06Well, when I was a kid, I did.
00:23:09It was just sort of routine.
00:23:11You say it as if you meant it, sir.
00:23:13I do, Sergeant.
00:23:14It makes me want to say that I am grateful, too, for being here.
00:23:17For everything.
00:23:18Thank you, Zachary.
00:23:21You must be quite a soldier.
00:23:22I wouldn't say that.
00:23:23The Good Conduct Medal, two campaigns in the South Pacific.
00:23:27And the Purple Heart.
00:23:30For heaven's sake, Barbara, where did you learn all that?
00:23:33Oh, a girl gets to know medals like she does Boogie Woogie.
00:23:36But the Purple Heart, that means you were wounded.
00:23:39Barbara, stop asking questions.
00:23:41I'm sure Sergeant Morgan doesn't like it.
00:23:43Well, come on, Zach.
00:23:44Tell us how you got to be a hero.
00:23:46Barbara, after dinner, you go upstairs and take off some of that lipstick.
00:23:50Looks as if you fell in a pot of red paint.
00:23:53Go on, eat your soup, Sergeant.
00:23:56Before it gets cold.
00:23:56That's orders.
00:23:58You must have been disappointed not to find your sister.
00:24:01Well, Mrs. Marshall...
00:24:03Oh, she took a defense job in California.
00:24:07Didn't she?
00:24:09Are you mad at me, Zach?
00:24:11Huh?
00:24:11For asking all those questions?
00:24:13No.
00:24:16I'm not mad.
00:24:18You mad?
00:24:20No, I'm not mad.
00:24:22No.
00:24:31Dad?
00:24:35Huh?
00:24:36Dad, I want to ask you a question.
00:24:38All right?
00:24:39Fire away.
00:24:40You know, you never told me anything about Mary.
00:24:44I mean, why she was sent to prison and why she...
00:24:46You can find out about that some other time.
00:24:49When you're a little older.
00:24:51But it can't be so secret.
00:24:53I don't see why I shouldn't know.
00:24:54Barbara, find out about that some other time.
00:24:57Just that Mary made a little mistake and that's all there is to it.
00:25:01But they don't send people to prison for just doing nothing.
00:25:04Now look, Barbara, I'm trying to listen to the radio and work this puzzle and I can't take you on
00:25:07any other jobs at the moment.
00:25:08But what if my friends ask me about her?
00:25:10What will I tell them?
00:25:11They'll want to know what...
00:25:12Just tell them that Mary is your cousin.
00:25:15From that point on, they can mind their own business.
00:25:17And it seems to me that your business might be helping your mother out in the kitchen.
00:25:21Oh, Dad.
00:25:22Sometimes the way you talk to me, you make me feel like I'm an adopted daughter or something.
00:25:26You take something that some new school that has built up in the kitchen.
00:25:52Franklin!
00:25:54So, it's worked hard in women's office.
00:25:56Get up from that pavement, this man's...
00:25:57Oh, you'll all catch a death of cold.
00:26:00Father! I'll catch your father.
00:26:02Not one Christmas present for you.
00:26:04Is the war really like that?
00:26:06I guess so.
00:26:08That's funny.
00:26:09Why?
00:26:10I mean that you should only guess so.
00:26:13Well, they have experts making those pictures.
00:26:17I guess that's the way they see the war.
00:26:19Beach a mile long, thousands of soldiers and tanks and machine guns and everything.
00:26:24I guess that's the way it is.
00:26:27But it wasn't that way for you, huh?
00:26:30It's just a difference in size.
00:26:32To a guy that's in it, the war is about ten feet wide and kind of empty.
00:26:38It's you and a couple of fellas in your company, maybe.
00:26:42Maybe a couple of Japs.
00:26:43It's all kind of mixed up.
00:26:46Sometimes it's all full of noise and sometimes it's quiet.
00:26:50It all depends on what you're thinking about, I guess.
00:26:53It depends on how scared you are.
00:26:56How cold you are and how wet you are.
00:26:59I guess if you asked a hundred guys what the war is like, they'd all give you a different answer.
00:27:08Mary, you know what?
00:27:11I mean, usually you don't like to talk about it.
00:27:17I never said anything about it before, not to anybody.
00:27:21I'm sorry, I...
00:27:22No.
00:27:24No, I feel kind of good.
00:27:27Let's go have a drink or something.
00:27:44All right, sit back here.
00:27:46Had that booth reserved for you.
00:27:47Nothing's too good for the army.
00:27:49No offense, Matt Sailor.
00:27:50Okay, my friend.
00:27:51You see, I'm an old army man myself.
00:27:53Yes, sir.
00:27:55What do you have, Mary?
00:27:57Oh, a cup of coffee.
00:27:59Oh, come on.
00:28:00It's Christmas.
00:28:01The sky's the limit.
00:28:01Have a piece of pie with it.
00:28:05No, I'll just have a cup of coffee.
00:28:06Two coffees.
00:28:07Coming up.
00:28:08Two cups of java.
00:28:09You sure you won't have anything else?
00:28:11Not after that wonderful dinner Aunt Sarah prepared for us.
00:28:14They're nice people.
00:28:16You're nice people, too.
00:28:19Hot java for the army.
00:28:22Oh, social era.
00:28:24There you are.
00:28:25Hey, soldier.
00:28:26You've certainly been places.
00:28:30Would you like some cream, Mary?
00:28:32No, thanks.
00:28:32You know, I was just a boy of 18 over in France in World War No. 1.
00:28:37You know, they're kidding themselves.
00:28:39This is the same kind of war.
00:28:41You sure you won't have some cream?
00:28:43No, I don't use it.
00:28:44The Navy, Marine, Air Force, they're okay.
00:28:46But this one's going to be one just like the last one.
00:28:48A soldier like you or me walking out on his own two feet and slugging it out.
00:28:54I took off some weight since my time.
00:28:56Used to be heavyweight champion of the regiment.
00:28:59Got a couple of funny medals.
00:29:04Yes, sir, when this thing starts, I try to sign up again.
00:29:06I tell them I want a chance to knock a couple of Jap heads together.
00:29:10I still do it, too.
00:29:11Squash them like eggs, I could.
00:29:14They won't let me fight.
00:29:15Why?
00:29:16On account of this tick in my face.
00:29:19Nothing touched me in that last war.
00:29:21I got a bit of shell shock.
00:29:22It left me with this.
00:29:24Nobody ever notices it.
00:29:25That young doctor squirt, not dry behind his ears.
00:29:29He turns me down.
00:29:30I don't get it.
00:29:49Thank you, Mary.
00:30:07Mary, I think you ought to know something.
00:30:14What is it, Zach?
00:30:16Well...
00:30:21I wish I could tell you.
00:30:26You probably think.
00:30:35I bet I could do better than that.
00:31:05Hello.
00:31:07Oh, hello.
00:31:10I thought you were asleep.
00:31:11No.
00:31:13I've been burning the midnight oil.
00:31:15It's my morale list.
00:31:23It's fun to think that I'm the pinup girl for at least five fellows.
00:31:26And it's part of the war effort.
00:31:28I keep up their morale, maybe.
00:31:32It must be nice to be able to keep up somebody's morale.
00:31:35Well, I imagine you could write to a lot of them.
00:31:37You know, they just like to get mail from anybody.
00:31:40I mean, you don't have to know them off me well to...
00:31:44Well, what I mean is that...
00:31:48When I was 17, I had a little trouble finding the right words, too.
00:31:57Is Zach stationed here?
00:32:11Barbara!
00:32:12Barbara, what I'm in prison for isn't catching.
00:32:16I'm sorry, Mary.
00:32:17I...
00:32:19I keep hurting you and...
00:32:21I...
00:32:21I really don't want to.
00:32:25I guess it is uncomfortable for you to...
00:32:28To meet somebody who's been in prison.
00:32:32Maybe when you get to know me, you'll feel differently.
00:32:35I want to know you, Mary.
00:32:37Really, I do.
00:32:39How much do you know about me?
00:32:41Not much.
00:32:42Mother and Dad still treat me like a child.
00:32:44Everything's a big secret.
00:32:46I don't think it would hurt for you to know.
00:32:48As a matter of fact, I think it might help.
00:32:52When I was your age, my mother died.
00:32:54Oh, I remember her.
00:32:56Way back when I was young.
00:32:58She used to make clothes for my favorite doll.
00:33:01Yes, she was wonderful with her hands.
00:33:05And sometime after that...
00:33:06My father went north on business.
00:33:10And then when he died...
00:33:12I was on my own.
00:33:14I got a pretty good job as a secretary.
00:33:17And my job brought me in contact with a lot of nice men.
00:33:21One of whom might have turned out, I thought, to be the one who would give me all the things
00:33:24that you dream about when you're 20 and lonely.
00:33:28One day, when I was called into my boss's office, he invited me to a party in his apartment.
00:33:35He was single and I started dreaming.
00:33:38Bosses do marry their secretaries.
00:33:41I took what money I'd saved and I bought an evening dress.
00:33:45I thought it was very fancy.
00:33:46I wanted to look good in front of his high-class friends.
00:33:50He'd sent me an orchid.
00:33:51A white orchid.
00:33:53The first one I'd ever had.
00:33:54I was wearing it.
00:33:58When the door opened, I walked into the biggest apartment I'd ever seen.
00:34:02I thought it was rich and elegant.
00:34:05I'd wanted to impress him, so I got there a little late.
00:34:07I'd wanted to make an entrance all by myself, but nobody else was there.
00:34:13I should have had sense enough then to get out, but I didn't.
00:34:17He'd been drinking a long time before I got there, I guess, and he kept right on.
00:34:23He told me that he hadn't invited anyone else.
00:34:27And that the white orchid and all that was just his way of getting me up there.
00:34:33I...
00:34:34I tried to talk my way out and...
00:34:38And then when that didn't work, I made a break for it.
00:34:42I didn't scream.
00:34:45I was too frightened, I guess.
00:34:49I tried to get away from him, but I couldn't.
00:34:52He seemed to be everywhere.
00:34:53It was all mixed up like some terrible kind of a dream.
00:34:57Once I almost got away when he fell over a chair.
00:35:01But he caught me again and dragged me back.
00:35:03Then I pushed him as hard as I could and he fell back through the window.
00:35:11His apartment was on the 14th floor.
00:35:17Oh, Mary, how...
00:35:19How awful.
00:35:22Maybe I shouldn't have told you.
00:35:24No, I...
00:35:25I'm glad you did.
00:35:27But it's wrong.
00:35:28They...
00:35:29They shouldn't have sent you to prison.
00:35:32If I'd been lucky enough to get away before he was killed, then there wouldn't have been any crime.
00:35:38But after all...
00:35:41A man was dead.
00:35:44The jury said...
00:35:46Manslaughtered.
00:35:48Guilty.
00:35:49Well...
00:35:52That meant six years.
00:35:54Yes.
00:36:20Please forgive me, Mary.
00:36:34Oh, Mary, see who that is, will you?
00:36:36Mm-hmm.
00:36:39Hello?
00:36:41Oh, good morning, Zack.
00:36:46Well...
00:36:47Well, if it's important, of course I can see you.
00:36:50Do you want to come here?
00:36:52Well, I'd rather not. I hate to keep barging in on your uncle's house.
00:36:57Mary, I want to talk to you about last night, and I need some time.
00:37:01Well, I have the time. Plenty of time.
00:37:04Where do you want to meet?
00:37:06I asked about here, and they said there's a bus that goes up to the lake.
00:37:10It's pretty out there, and there aren't so many people.
00:37:33It's not so bad, is it? No.
00:37:35I told you there was no use wasting any gas. It's only a short buck from here.
00:37:39I know. You're trying to wear me out before we tee off. I got you.
00:37:42Hiya, Chuck. How have you been?
00:37:44Hiya.
00:37:45Well day, huh?
00:37:46Fine.
00:37:48Oh, it's so pretty.
00:37:53Hiya.
00:37:54Ciao.
00:38:13Hiya.
00:38:14You born in this part of the country?
00:38:15Mm hm.
00:38:17I was born in Maryland. You get used to Christmas time being cold and snowy.
00:38:22I don't know, this scene is more like Christmas to me than the kind they have back east.
00:38:27I mean, this is more like the country where they celebrated the first Christmas.
00:38:33This reminds me of a lake I used to go to when I was a kid.
00:38:36Every spring I had a job repairing the boats.
00:38:51Mary, I want to tell you why I got mad at that man in the coffee shop last night
00:38:58and why I walked away from you after I threw that rock at the lamppost and missed it.
00:39:03I knew there must be some reason, but you don't have to tell me.
00:39:08Look, I was brought up in a home, an orphan's home.
00:39:12That's nothing to be ashamed of.
00:39:14No, it's not like being a prisoner or anything like that.
00:39:18No.
00:39:19Well,
00:39:21in the home there was a janitor.
00:39:23This fellow had been in the last war.
00:39:25He was a young guy.
00:39:28He was a shell-shock case.
00:39:33Whenever we could get our hands on any firecrackers,
00:39:35we'd bang him off and laugh at him when he jumped.
00:39:40Well,
00:39:43the fellow in the coffee shop reminded me of the janitor
00:39:46and they both made me think of myself and what I'd be like in a few years.
00:39:51Well, the difference is that now in the hospital they have a fancy name for it.
00:39:56Neuropsychiatric.
00:39:59But the doctors must know a lot more about it now than they did during the last war.
00:40:03Maybe.
00:40:06They don't know something about me that I know.
00:40:08You see,
00:40:10before I became an engineer,
00:40:12I was an athlete, a pretty good one.
00:40:15I know what my timing used to be, they don't, and it's gone, Mary.
00:40:21Before this happened to me, I could have hit that lamppost all day.
00:40:27I don't know why I'm bothering you at all.
00:40:30Is it?
00:40:32Yes, I do.
00:40:32I know why I'm bothering you.
00:40:35Because I feel so much better when I talk to you.
00:40:37I'd like to be with you.
00:40:38I'd like to be with you, too.
00:40:40Mary, I want to talk about you.
00:40:41Listen,
00:40:42tell me.
00:40:43Well, for instance, how did you become a traveling sales lady, and what do you sell?
00:40:51Well, as I told you, I started out wanting to be a model.
00:40:58And after that, I got a job with a dress manufacturing company, and now I travel for them.
00:41:07Well, where do you travel?
00:41:09After vacation, where do you go?
00:41:12Well, I go back to Dallas.
00:41:15And from Dallas, I go to New Orleans.
00:41:17New Orleans?
00:41:18I've been to New Orleans.
00:41:22Have you ever been to Florida?
00:41:23No.
00:41:24I go from New Orleans to Florida.
00:41:26New Orleans to Florida?
00:41:28Palm Beach.
00:41:38Mary, can you make me believe in myself the way you believe in yourself?
00:41:43Well, what makes you think I do?
00:41:45I'd tell.
00:41:47The way you talk, the way you walk, the way you look, the way you hold your head.
00:41:54Well, maybe that's just make-believe.
00:42:00Why don't we go down here by the rock, huh?
00:42:09You like boats?
00:42:11Mm-hmm.
00:42:11You?
00:42:14Some little kid probably on that boat thought it could take him all the way around the world and back.
00:42:18I wish it could.
00:42:20I wish we could get on it and sail away to where it would you like to go.
00:42:25Not, not to Florida or New Orleans.
00:42:30It's a place like the moon, maybe.
00:42:33With a good breeze and a good compass, maybe we could find a place.
00:42:38Well, if it were a real boat and the moon a real place, would you go?
00:42:47There's no harm in dreaming.
00:42:48I'd go.
00:43:02Uh-uh.
00:43:03I'm not going to have you run out on me again.
00:43:16I never could figure out why the pudding never gets burned.
00:43:19I've never been able to figure that out either.
00:43:21Must be the alcohol and the brandy, huh?
00:43:23Stop it.
00:43:23Personally, I think it's a shame to burn good brandy.
00:43:26That quart I brought home last week was important coniac.
00:43:29Oh, don't worry, Henry.
00:43:30I didn't burn up the whole quart.
00:43:31Oh, I wouldn't trust Mom with it, Dad.
00:43:34Maybe you're right.
00:43:35Remember last year how Ma got going on just a glass of sherry?
00:43:38Oh, now, I'm not going to listen to that again.
00:43:40You may not believe this about your dear Aunt Sarah,
00:43:43but last year she got high as a kite.
00:43:46They're trying to drag out a family skeleton, Mrs. Marshall.
00:43:49I won't listen to them.
00:43:50Oh, he's just one of those little things that have happened.
00:43:52People start exaggerating.
00:43:54Exaggerate my eye.
00:43:55It's as true as I sit here.
00:43:57Last year, Mother and I had a glass of sherry to bring in the New Year.
00:44:00And then we went to a little gathering all the way across town, it was.
00:44:03Mother had her as curt on backwards, backwards.
00:44:07See here, Henry, if you're in such a good voice, how about a Christmas carol?
00:44:10Aunt Sarah, something tells me you're trying to change the subject.
00:44:13Nothing of the sort.
00:44:15Christmas carols go with plum pudding, and that's what we're eating, plum pudding.
00:44:18Well, Sarah, you don't have to work so hard at it.
00:44:20I'm pretty good baritone.
00:44:22I don't need much urging.
00:44:23Well, what'll it be?
00:44:24Oh, I think I like best.
00:44:26Come, all ye faithful.
00:44:27Fine, fine.
00:44:28Come, all ye faithful.
00:44:29It is.
00:44:30Me, oh, no.
00:44:32Me.
00:44:33Oh, come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant.
00:44:41Oh, come, ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem.
00:44:49Come and behold him, born the King of angels.
00:44:56Oh, come, let us adore him.
00:45:01Oh, come, let us adore him.
00:45:05Oh, come.
00:45:06Oh, come, let us adore him.
00:45:14Christ the Lord.
00:45:17Well, it feels pretty comfortable to have another man's voice around here at Christmas time.
00:45:21I'm sure Barbara's doing her best to arrange that for you, Henry.
00:45:25Mother.
00:45:25Oh, darling, maybe family jokes aren't in bad taste.
00:45:29They make the guests feel out of place.
00:45:31No, ma'am.
00:45:33I haven't felt so easy in a long time.
00:45:35It was the best Christmas dinner I ever had.
00:45:38Yesterday, I was a stranger here.
00:45:40I mean, I felt like a prisoner inside myself.
00:45:46Now, just to be at a home like this with people like you,
00:45:51maybe some place I can come back to next month,
00:45:55or next year.
00:46:02Did I say something?
00:46:03No, Zach, no, he's just a very sentimentalist.
00:46:06Excuse me, sir.
00:46:06Excuse me.
00:46:07Excuse me, sir.
00:46:10Excuse me.
00:46:12Excuse me.
00:46:12Excuse me.
00:46:13Excuse me.
00:46:32Excuse me.
00:46:34First time my singing ever brought me by you to tears.
00:46:38Maybe I'd better get out of here, hmm?
00:46:42That isn't polite to even run.
00:46:44I mean, Pine Hill, how to leave you alone.
00:46:47Yeah.
00:46:48You're just fishing.
00:46:50You want me to ask you to stay?
00:46:56Well, ask me.
00:46:59Please stay.
00:47:07Sarah, this is silly.
00:47:08We can't just sit here all night.
00:47:10Well, Henry, they've got to have a couple of minutes to talk things over.
00:47:13They've had a couple of minutes.
00:47:15Come on, Dad.
00:47:16Let's go on in.
00:47:18We'd better give them a warning first.
00:47:22Well, that's all the plum pudding I can eat.
00:47:25Can't eat it another bit.
00:47:27Let's play the radio.
00:47:30Fine, fine.
00:47:38It's present time, present time.
00:47:40Henry's going to act with Santa Claus.
00:47:42Come on.
00:47:43Here you are, Mother.
00:47:44That's for you, dear.
00:47:45Oh, that for me, thanks.
00:47:47Look at the size of it.
00:47:49Oh, thank you.
00:47:51I bet I know what it is.
00:47:53Oh, Henry, darling, you didn't get it.
00:47:55Oh, look at his.
00:47:57Look at the bag.
00:47:58It's so short of his.
00:47:59That's great.
00:48:00You'll be surprised.
00:48:00I want to make surgery.
00:48:01Here you are, darling.
00:48:03Does that get his?
00:48:04Zach.
00:48:04Thank you, Uncle.
00:48:05Oh, I hope you like it, dear.
00:48:07Merry Christmas.
00:48:26Oh, I understood, Mary.
00:48:28When Zach said he was a stranger, you felt as if the words were coming from your own lips.
00:48:31It might have happened to any girl.
00:48:33It could have been just Christmas sentiment.
00:48:36Good night, Mary.
00:48:37Good night.
00:48:37Good night.
00:48:38Good night.
00:48:39Don't forget to turn out the lights, Sarah.
00:48:41All right, dear.
00:48:41So don't worry about making a scene.
00:48:47Well, I'm not worrying about that, Sarah.
00:48:49I was just wondering if I shouldn't tell him about me.
00:48:54Oh, not for the world.
00:48:56You don't think so?
00:48:58Well, why?
00:49:00Well, he trusts me, and it doesn't seem fair.
00:49:06Oh, but there's no reason for it, Mary.
00:49:08He'll only be here for a few days.
00:49:10He's lonely, and you're making things pleasant for him.
00:49:14That's not the reason I'm seeing him, Aunt Sarah.
00:49:18Because I like him.
00:49:21I like him a lot.
00:49:23Of course you do, dear, but it isn't as if you were going to marry him.
00:49:28No.
00:49:30It's not as though I was going to marry him.
00:49:34I didn't mean it like that, dear.
00:49:38I know.
00:49:41Have fun, Mary.
00:49:43See Zach every day if you like.
00:49:45Act like any other girl.
00:49:48I'd try, Aunt Sarah, but I...
00:49:50I can't seem to make myself feel like any other girl.
00:49:54I just...
00:49:55feel like me.
00:49:59That's pretty darn good.
00:50:01Now you have fun.
00:50:04Good...
00:50:06Hey, you two.
00:50:07What's cooking?
00:50:10Remember, Mary, I don't think so.
00:50:13Good night, dear.
00:50:15Good night, Sarah.
00:50:17She doesn't think so.
00:50:19What?
00:50:22She doesn't think there really is a Santa Claus.
00:50:38Mother, look.
00:50:39It just fits.
00:50:40Oh, I love it.
00:50:46Do you think a long skirt?
00:50:48But it's for New Year's Eve.
00:50:49It has to be long.
00:50:50Isn't it a little old for you, dear?
00:50:52Well, for heaven's sakes, Mother, I'm going out with the lieutenant.
00:50:54Yes, darling, I'm quite aware of the responsibility of the occasion, but that neckline.
00:50:59Oh, so that's it.
00:51:00Well, for your information, Mother, this neckline's a morale builder.
00:51:04How would you like to try on this one?
00:51:06Oh, that's lovely.
00:51:08Yes, it's one of the best designs we have.
00:51:10Oh, no, Mommy, please.
00:51:11I want this one.
00:51:13Oh, all right, dear.
00:51:15It fits you perfectly.
00:51:16Oh, and it feels perfect, too.
00:51:18I'll be right back.
00:51:25You like this one, don't you, Mary?
00:51:27It's lovely.
00:51:29Then you're going to have it.
00:51:30Oh, no.
00:51:31Now, you listen to me, Mary.
00:51:33You can't wear the same clothes day after day.
00:51:35Your soldier boy's going to get tired of them.
00:51:37Well, I've been fooling him well enough so far.
00:51:39I've been wearing one blouse after another.
00:51:41I don't need a dress, dear.
00:51:43Now, Zach's made a big thing of inviting us all to this New Year's Eve party.
00:51:46You can't wear a suit.
00:51:47Huh, I'll manage.
00:51:49Henry and I have talked it over.
00:51:51We want you to have a dress.
00:51:53Oh, Henry will be so disappointed if you don't accept it.
00:51:57Darling, I'll only be able to wear it once.
00:51:59It'll be out of style in three years.
00:52:01Then we'll burn it.
00:52:03Miss, my niece would like to try on this dress.
00:52:05Oh, it'll be fine on you.
00:52:07Go on, dear, try it on.
00:52:09Well, all right, I'll try it on.
00:52:14How about you, Mrs. Marshall?
00:52:15Oh, thank you, my lavender.
00:52:17It's still good.
00:52:19Oh, Mother, she's going to be swell.
00:52:21Oh, thank you.
00:52:23Now, you run along and pick up your father at the store.
00:52:25Okay.
00:52:26Oh, thanks again.
00:52:28You're so wonderful.
00:52:29You know how impatient your father is.
00:52:31Now, run along.
00:52:32Oh.
00:52:37How much is this dress?
00:52:40$69.
00:52:41Oh.
00:52:43Would you take the tag off, please?
00:52:48Look.
00:52:50Here's $30.
00:52:53And when my aunt asks you the price, do you tell her it's $39 instead of $69?
00:52:58It's a block.
00:53:04Miss.
00:53:09How much was that dress?
00:53:10$39.
00:53:11Well, I'll give you $20.
00:53:13And when I ask you again how much it was, you tell me it's $19.
00:53:21Do you like it?
00:53:22Oh, it's darling on you.
00:53:24Isn't it sweet?
00:53:26It was made for you.
00:53:29Miss.
00:53:30How much is this dress?
00:53:33$19.
00:53:34Oh, that's a wonderful buy.
00:53:41What are you laughing at?
00:53:58How do you like my dress?
00:53:59Small, isn't it?
00:54:00It's on that check, huh?
00:54:01Sure.
00:54:06Hello, Zach.
00:54:07Do you come in?
00:54:07Hello, Barbara.
00:54:16Don't you notice anything, Zach?
00:54:17Where?
00:54:18About me.
00:54:19Uh, got on too much lipstick again.
00:54:25Hello, Zach.
00:54:27Oh, come on.
00:54:30Oh, well.
00:54:32Lieutenant Bruce, this is Sergeant Morgan.
00:54:34Oh, hello, Lieutenant.
00:54:35How do you do?
00:54:36Isn't the Sergeant supposed to salute a Lieutenant?
00:54:39Only on the street.
00:54:41Anyhow, from the decorations the Sergeant's wearing,
00:54:43I'm the one who ought to do the saluting.
00:54:44That's not what he says in the book.
00:54:46My coat, Lieutenant?
00:54:47Sure, Your Majesty.
00:54:49Henry, are you ready?
00:54:51No, sir.
00:54:52I'm down here in my bathrobe, working on this puzzle.
00:54:54Don't be impatient, dear.
00:54:55We'll do right now.
00:54:56Fine.
00:54:57Good night, baby.
00:54:58Take care of a Lieutenant.
00:54:59Oh, why does everybody treat me like a child?
00:55:01I can take care of myself.
00:55:03We won't be late.
00:55:04Good night, Mr. Marshall.
00:55:05Good night, sir.
00:55:06Uh, Sergeant.
00:55:07Good night, sir.
00:55:09Oh, here's a nice big piece of sky for you, Mr. Marshall.
00:55:12Oh, let's get your hands.
00:55:13There's Eddie.
00:55:14Now, let's get going, Zach, before they change their mind.
00:55:17Come back.
00:55:18Back.
00:55:18And my gloves, and my purse, and...
00:55:23Sarah, now, where is she?
00:55:26Sarah, are we going or...
00:55:28Henry, you let the cellar light on.
00:55:34Oh.
00:55:36Oh.
00:55:37Oh.
00:55:37Mrs. Marshall, uh, this is for you.
00:55:39I hope you like camellias.
00:55:42This is for you, Mary.
00:55:44I hope you like late orchids.
00:55:45Oh, thank you, Zach.
00:55:47I haven't had a corsage in years.
00:55:49Henry, did you lock the kitchen door?
00:55:51Oh, let's go, Sarah.
00:55:53There's some mistake.
00:55:55Hmm?
00:55:57I knew I'd do it.
00:55:58Well, that's what happens when a man gets mixed up and thinks he shouldn't.
00:56:01The orchids are for you, Mary.
00:56:03Oh, that's all right, Aunt Sarah.
00:56:06Sarah, are we going tonight?
00:56:08Now, the comedians were promised to me, and I'm going to have them.
00:56:10Oh, it really doesn't matter.
00:56:12These were intended for you.
00:56:37Well, darling, just give me a minute.
00:56:40Look at that.
00:56:42Oh, Sarah.
00:56:42We're, uh, we're going to be late.
00:56:46Flowers make you feel so like a party.
00:56:48Wasn't that sweet as Zach?
00:56:49Sarah?
00:56:52Oh, Henry.
00:56:55You're always so impatient.
00:56:57Have you got the key?
00:56:58Oh, never mind.
00:57:03Tell me, Johnny, are you sure it's all right for a girl to go in the YMCA?
00:57:08Oh, never mind.
00:57:08Oh, never mind.
00:57:12Oh, never mind.
00:57:14Oh, never mind.
00:57:15Oh, never mind.
00:57:15Oh, never mind.
00:57:16Oh, never mind.
00:57:16Oh, never mind.
00:57:17Oh, never mind.
00:57:17Oh, never mind.
00:57:18Oh, never mind.
00:57:20Oh, never mind.
00:57:22Oh, never mind.
00:57:28Oh, never mind.
00:57:30Oh, never mind.
00:57:49Oh, change your partner, Sto-si-do.
00:57:55Oh, fun.
00:57:58Fun, fun.
00:58:01I don't know how it is, but every year at New Year's,
00:58:04I get so excited and sort of upset.
00:58:06I don't know what you mean. It's like being in on something big.
00:58:10Something important.
00:58:11That's it, exactly.
00:58:18Back to your partners with a right and left grand.
00:58:22Thanks, Mary. That was...
00:58:24Thank you, Uncle Henry.
00:58:26Well...
00:58:30I'll be seeing you
00:58:32In every lovely summer's day
00:58:37In everything that's light and gay
00:58:43I'll always think of you
00:58:45Now, you know, two weeks ago,
00:58:47if somebody told me I'd be dancing with a girl like you,
00:58:50you know what I'd have said?
00:58:51No. What would you have said?
00:58:52I'd have said...
00:58:53I'd have said I wouldn't be dancing with a girl like you.
00:58:57I'd be looking at the moon
00:59:00But I'll be seeing you
00:59:06Cutting in.
00:59:07Hello, Mary.
00:59:08Hello.
00:59:09Maybe you don't recognize me in the outfit Uncle Sam gave me.
00:59:11No, I'm sorry.
00:59:12Charlie Hartman in the economy department.
00:59:15Oh, yes. I'm terribly sorry.
00:59:17I'd forgotten.
00:59:17This is Sergeant Morgan.
00:59:20This is Charlie Hartman.
00:59:22How about a dance?
00:59:24Boy, am I surprised to see you, Mary.
00:59:56Oh, good. Are you going to be around?
00:59:59Yes, but...
01:00:00Charlie, um...
01:00:02The fellow I'm with,
01:00:03he doesn't know about me
01:00:05and I'd appreciate it very much
01:00:07if, you know, you wouldn't...
01:00:10Sure, Mary, forget it.
01:00:12Thanks, Charlie.
01:00:26Excuse me, did I have a light?
01:00:27Oh, yes, Sergeant.
01:00:28Have a cigar.
01:00:29Oh, thank you, sir.
01:00:30You've been to the South Pacific.
01:00:32Yes, sir.
01:00:33You're this kind of man we want to talk to.
01:00:35Let me introduce myself.
01:00:36I'm Senator Hugh D. Emmett.
01:00:38How do you do, sir?
01:00:39This is my friend John Toomes.
01:00:41I'm glad to know you, Sergeant.
01:00:42Marshal.
01:00:43Executive Chairman of the Committee
01:00:44that raised the funds that made this party.
01:00:46I'd like to get the point of view of the soldiers
01:00:48about several things.
01:00:49Soldiers?
01:00:50Yes.
01:00:51We would like to know from you
01:00:52what the soldier thinks.
01:00:54Thinks about what?
01:00:55Oh, thinks about political issues.
01:00:57Well, Senator, I don't know
01:00:58what gives you the idea
01:00:59that just because a fellow puts on a...
01:01:03Well, what does the soldier think?
01:01:06I'll tell you, I...
01:01:08Last time, some of us voted for Roosevelt
01:01:10and some of us didn't.
01:01:11Some of us weren't old.
01:01:14Some soldiers think labor's got a right to strike
01:01:16and some soldiers think labor's got no rights at all.
01:01:19A lot of soldiers have got one idea
01:01:22about what should happen after the war.
01:01:24A lot of soldiers have other ideas.
01:01:26Me, I...
01:01:27I haven't the slightest notion
01:01:29what a lot of soldiers think.
01:01:32Senator?
01:01:33Thanks for the cigar.
01:01:40Well, somebody gypped me with his watch 15 years ago.
01:01:44It's New Year's.
01:01:45Oh, what heavens?
01:01:45We got five married, Zach.
01:01:47Excuse us.
01:01:47Does he do this?
01:02:11We got five married, Zach.
01:02:14And it was not the only day
01:02:17at all who died since theprogram
01:03:31Happy New Year.
01:03:38What was that, that that poet said about the deep-throated dog?
01:03:43No, he's just barking in the New Year.
01:03:46That's not what it said.
01:03:48Oh, he didn't mean that.
01:03:49Hey, you believe that, uh, saying, uh, barking dog never bites?
01:03:53Mm-hmm.
01:03:53I believe anything you say.
01:03:55The thing about a dog is, you must never let him know you're afraid of him.
01:03:59That makes him angry.
01:03:59Hey, you've got to treat him like an old friend.
01:04:03Yeah.
01:04:07Yep.
01:04:14See what I mean?
01:04:15I'd hate to run into him in a dark alley.
01:04:17What do you think this is?
01:04:36Stay away, Mary.
01:04:38Stay away.
01:04:47Stay away.
01:04:50Don't kill him.
01:04:52Stay away.
01:04:57Don't kill him.
01:04:59Dook!
01:05:07Zubbeb!
01:05:08Zubbeb!
01:05:10Zubbeb!
01:05:12Zubbeb!
01:05:13Doeb!
01:05:14Zubbeb!
01:05:15Zubbeb!
01:05:27Are you hurt?
01:05:29No.
01:05:31No.
01:05:32Nobody could have been.
01:05:34Well, I'm sorry.
01:05:47Are you all right?
01:05:48Mm-hmm.
01:05:50You know, you know something?
01:05:52What?
01:05:53The doctor's going to be very surprised when they see you.
01:05:55They'll probably send you back to active duty.
01:05:58That lemonade must have been spiked.
01:06:00No, I really mean it.
01:06:02Do you realize what you did tonight?
01:06:03I bet you couldn't have done that a week ago.
01:06:05What?
01:06:06Well, I watched you all evening.
01:06:09When you were dancing and you never hesitated for words and your eyes didn't blink.
01:06:14And then when that dog attacked us, I've never seen anyone quite so fast on their feet.
01:06:19I didn't think about what I was doing.
01:06:20That's just it.
01:06:20You were so alert and keen and your timing was perfect.
01:06:25Hope you're right.
01:06:26I believe you all.
01:06:30Mary, you told me that in eight days you can do a lot of believing.
01:06:36Well, you see, I'm the fellow that's on the radio that says life can be wonderful.
01:06:41You're wonderful.
01:06:42You're just saying that because you know I've got lots of money.
01:06:44You're wonderful.
01:06:45Because you know I've got very influential friends.
01:06:47Wonderful.
01:06:48Because of the social position.
01:07:00Mary, I know I'm going to get well.
01:07:03I've got plans, too.
01:07:04Lots of them.
01:07:05I know I'm going to stay well, too, because you figure in all my plans.
01:07:10You've got to figure in them, because without you, I'm back where I started.
01:07:16I'm sunk.
01:07:18Please don't talk about it tonight.
01:07:20I'm going to sleep.
01:07:24Tomorrow, before I go, I've got a lot of things to tell you.
01:07:28Good night, Jack.
01:07:31Happy New Year.
01:07:34I love you very much.
01:07:54Is that you, Mary?
01:08:00Are you all right?
01:08:05Sarah, I love him so.
01:08:08What are you going to do?
01:08:11I don't know.
01:08:14He's going to ask me to marry him.
01:08:16He would have asked me tonight if I let him.
01:08:19Did you tell him?
01:08:20No.
01:08:22Are you going back on the train with him tomorrow?
01:08:26No, I'm going to catch you later, Trey, tomorrow night.
01:08:28Why don't you give yourself that extra time with him, Mary?
01:08:31Because I'm afraid to be alone with him, Aunt Sarah.
01:08:34I mustn't tell him.
01:08:36I lied to him.
01:08:37I told him I was going to stay here a couple of extra days.
01:08:40Don't you think he's strong enough yet to know about you?
01:08:43Well, I can't take that chance, Aunt Sarah.
01:08:45He's getting well.
01:08:47And I want him to go back to the hospital, sure of himself.
01:08:51And sure of me.
01:08:56Remember, what you have to do may seem to be second best,
01:08:59but it may work out to be first best.
01:09:03Oh, Aunt Sarah, I hope so.
01:09:15Happy New Year, Mr. Laker.
01:09:19Happy New Year, Zach.
01:09:25May I have this dance with you, Sergeant?
01:09:32Happy New Year.
01:09:51Happy New Year.
01:09:53Hold on, Zag. Hold on. Hold on, Zag. Hold on.
01:09:59You're just a little tired, that's all.
01:10:02You just got through with a lot of excitement.
01:10:04That fight with the dog took a lot out of you.
01:10:06That's why you're sweating. It doesn't mean anything.
01:10:09Sit down, Zag. Sit down.
01:10:12Sit down, Zag. Sit down.
01:10:23That's it. Sit down. Take it easy.
01:10:38Don't get scared, Zag. Don't get scared.
01:10:41Maybe it is one of those things. They told you it might happen.
01:11:00Don't get scared.
01:11:25Hang on, Zag. Hang on.
01:11:27You know what you're going to have to go through?
01:12:00It's sure banging away. It doesn't sound that loud.
01:12:03You're just thinking it does, that's all.
01:12:05The doc told you there's nothing wrong with your heart.
01:12:08Beating fast like that doesn't mean anything.
01:12:13This is it.
01:12:14You thought for a minute it wasn't, but it is.
01:12:16You're in for it now.
01:12:17So you're in for it now.
01:12:19You know the next step.
01:12:20You know what's coming now.
01:12:22It's tough to get hold of yourself, Zag.
01:12:24It's tough to get hold of yourself, Zag.
01:12:26Better call for a doctor.
01:12:27Let him get the hypo ready, or maybe a tub.
01:12:51Let him get the hypo.
01:13:23Zag.
01:13:36Zack, you've got eight days to believe.
01:13:40Eight days. You must believe.
01:13:43You must believe.
01:13:45Must believe.
01:13:46Must believe.
01:14:12I made it.
01:14:29Barbara!
01:14:32Barbara!
01:14:33That's awful stuff for a man to wake up to.
01:14:36How can you stand it so early in the morning?
01:14:38Oh, Dad, it's beautiful music, a lovely day, and a wonderful new year.
01:14:43That's the trouble with young people.
01:14:45They're so doggone young.
01:14:50Oh, there you are.
01:14:51I was beginning to think I'd have to bring your breakfast up to you in bed.
01:14:54Well, it's not a bad idea, sir. I might try it sometime.
01:14:56That was the best part of having my appendix out.
01:14:58Oh, please, Henry. One egg or two.
01:15:00Three. I'm hungry.
01:15:05Good morning, Mr. Marshall.
01:15:06Oh, hello, Zack. Happy New Year.
01:15:08Thank you, sir. Happy New Year to you.
01:15:09Have a good time last night?
01:15:11Oh, fine, fine.
01:15:12The best party I've been to since last.
01:15:14Have you had your breakfast yet?
01:15:16Yes, early.
01:15:17Well, here's the paper. Make yourself at home.
01:15:19Be with you in a minute.
01:15:20Thanks.
01:15:20Okay. Drive me down to the station. Hope you enjoy Barbara's melodious concert.
01:15:24Who are you babbling to?
01:15:25Zack.
01:15:26Oh, uh, Mary.
01:15:29Morning, Mary.
01:15:30Good morning, Zack.
01:15:31Oh, good morning, Mrs.
01:15:32Hello, Mary.
01:15:33Hello, Zack. I was just in fixing some sandwiches for you to take with you.
01:15:37Uh, Mary, don't you think you'd better go and get ready to go down to the station?
01:15:39Yes, I'll go get my hat and things. I'll be back in just a minute.
01:15:43Mary's fixing up a little box lunch for you. I want to get a string to tie it up with.
01:15:47You know how difficult it is to get anything to eat on the train these days.
01:15:50Very nice of you.
01:15:50Hello, Sergeant. Happy New Year.
01:15:51Good morning. Happy New Year.
01:15:53How was your party?
01:15:54Oh, solid. Solid.
01:15:56You going back to active duty, Zack?
01:15:57For a while, yeah.
01:15:58Gee, you look a lot better than you did a week ago.
01:16:01I feel a lot better.
01:16:02You think it was the Marshall Food that did it?
01:16:04Must have felt.
01:16:05I think it was mostly your cousin, Mary.
01:16:07She's awfully nice.
01:16:09I've noticed that, too.
01:16:12You know what? I think I'll marry her.
01:16:15Are you kidding?
01:16:16Not as far as I'm concerned. Of course, I don't know about her yet.
01:16:19Well, won't you mind waiting?
01:16:22Well, that's up to Mary, really.
01:16:24Things have worked out so well that I may not have to wait as long as I thought.
01:16:28Well, that's what the folks have always hoped for, that she won't have to serve her full term now.
01:16:32The fact that they let her out of prison for Christmas is a pretty good sign.
01:16:37You know, it wasn't until the other night when she told me how it all happened
01:16:40that I realized that it really isn't her fault.
01:16:43She's not a criminal. I mean, not like real criminals.
01:16:48Oh, it's too bad that you two can't go back on the train together.
01:16:52But then Mary isn't due in Eastern until 9 o'clock tonight.
01:16:55She wants to spend as much time with us as she can, and you can't blame her
01:16:59after being locked up for three years.
01:17:01Come on, Zack. We're going to be late. Mary?
01:17:07Well, goodbye, Zack. Have a nice trip and come back real soon.
01:17:11I hate to say goodbye, Zack.
01:17:13Come on. We're going to be late.
01:17:14Thank you again, Mrs. Marshall.
01:17:15Good luck.
01:17:17You got the box? I'll get it.
01:17:19I hope you like chicken sandwiches.
01:17:38Good luck.
01:17:39Good luck.
01:17:40Zack, is there any special address, or do I just write to you in care of the hospital at Eastern?
01:17:44Yeah, I can at the hospital.
01:17:46You can write to me in care of Uncle Henry's address, and they'll forward it to wherever I happen to
01:17:49be.
01:17:50Okay.
01:17:51Because I won't know what hotels I'll be able to stop at.
01:17:53Sure, sure. I understand.
01:18:07Good luck, Mary.
01:18:21Goodbye, Zack. Here.
01:18:23Oh, thank you.
01:18:25Zach, will you write to me?
01:18:26Sure, sure, all right.
01:18:28Zach, what's the matter? What's wrong?
01:18:30Boy!
01:18:31Bye, Mary.
01:18:34Bye.
01:18:36Bye, Zach!
01:18:37Bye!
01:18:39Bye!
01:18:42What's the matter with Zach, Mary?
01:18:44He acted kind of strange.
01:18:46I think I know.
01:18:49Zach!
01:18:50Zach!
01:18:51Zach!
01:18:57Zach!
01:18:58Zach!
01:19:04Mother! Look out here.
01:19:05Don't break any of those gloves.
01:19:07Mother, if you'd been in Mary's place,
01:19:10wouldn't you have got along with Zach?
01:19:13Never mind, dear.
01:19:14Don't ask them any questions.
01:19:15As long as Zach's wanting to wait for Mary
01:19:17until she gets out of prison.
01:19:19Prison? Barbara!
01:19:20Barbara!
01:19:21You didn't tell him.
01:19:23Wasn't...
01:19:23Wasn't Zach supposed to know?
01:19:26No.
01:19:29Why didn't anybody tell me?
01:19:32Why didn't you tell me, Mother?
01:19:35I'm sorry, dear.
01:19:38I should have told you.
01:19:40Mary's always treated me like a grown-up.
01:19:43Mary's always treated me like a grown-up.
01:19:44I didn't want to hurt her and...
01:19:46I...
01:19:47I...
01:19:47I've done something terrible.
01:20:00Mary, I...
01:20:01I...
01:20:02I told him...
01:20:05I didn't want to hurt you.
01:20:06I...
01:20:07I...
01:20:08I didn't know...
01:20:11I told him.
01:20:38I...
01:20:39I...
01:20:47it's so good.
01:20:49Sorry.
01:21:21Mary, Mary, I'm so ashamed.
01:21:29Please forgive me.
01:21:33I love you, Mary, and I wouldn't want to hurt you, not for anything.
01:21:41I... I understand something.
01:21:47I understand something now that I never knew before,
01:21:51that you could make a mistake and do something dreadful without me.
01:22:02Oh, Mary, no.
01:22:11It's all right, Barbara.
01:22:46Okay.
01:22:55Mary, I... I didn't want to make you cry.
01:22:59Mary, I... I didn't want to make you cry.
01:23:00Well, there's nothing wrong with crying at a time like this.
01:23:04The minute I got on the train, I knew why you didn't tell me.
01:23:08Nothing matters except that you're here.
01:23:11I'm terribly ashamed of walking out like that.
01:23:15I need you, Mary.
01:23:18I want to feel that you need me.
01:23:20Oh, I do, I do.
01:23:23I'll be right here.
01:23:26I'll be right here waiting.
01:23:27Hey, I'll be all well by then and ready to make a new start, too.
01:23:36Jose, I love you so much.
01:24:10I'll find you in the morning sun and when the light is new.
01:24:18I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be staying there.
01:24:37I'll be looking at the moon.
01:24:37I'll be right here.
01:24:38I'll be right here.
01:24:39You
