1
00:01:05,763 --> 00:01:08,765
This is Philadelphia, 1941.

2
00:01:09,501 --> 00:01:11,535
Everybody's got a hometown.

3
00:01:11,536 --> 00:01:13,036
This one's mine.

4
00:01:13,037 --> 00:01:15,005
My name is Schmid.
Al Schmid.

5
00:01:15,006 --> 00:01:17,208
Maybe you've heard of me,
maybe not.

6
00:01:17,209 --> 00:01:18,710
Anyhow, one way or another,

7
00:01:18,711 --> 00:01:21,844
what I've got to tell you
starts here in Philly.

8
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:22,713
I grew up here.

9
00:01:22,714 --> 00:01:25,283
Used to go to places
like Independence Hall.

10
00:01:25,284 --> 00:01:26,717
That's where the Liberty Bell is,

11
00:01:26,718 --> 00:01:29,487
and where the Declaration
of Independence was signed.

12
00:01:29,488 --> 00:01:31,690
When I went to school,
we used to visit the museums

13
00:01:31,691 --> 00:01:34,658
and famous places
like Constitution Hall.

14
00:01:34,727 --> 00:01:37,795
Our first Congress met
right here at Tun Tavern,

15
00:01:38,298 --> 00:01:41,398
where the U.S. Marines
were founded back in 1775.

16
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:44,436
And this is where
Betsy Ross lived.

17
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:46,404
You heard about her, I guess.

18
00:01:46,405 --> 00:01:48,407
She made the first
American flag.

19
00:01:48,408 --> 00:01:50,609
None of these things meant
a whole lot to me then.

20
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:53,746
When you grow up with something,
you kind of take it for granted.

21
00:01:53,747 --> 00:01:55,749
And the reason you're
seeing these places now

22
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:58,550
is just because this
is where my story begins.

23
00:01:58,551 --> 00:02:00,118
But it could have
begun anywhere.

24
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:02,387
It could have begun
in your hometown maybe.

25
00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:05,524
And what happened to me
might have happened to you.

26
00:02:11,366 --> 00:02:13,966
Hey, look what I got.

27
00:02:18,204 --> 00:02:19,573
Say, what's the idea?

28
00:02:19,574 --> 00:02:21,908
What are the flowers for?
Somebody kick the bucket?

29
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:24,845
No. First bouquet
I ever bought for a gal in my life,

30
00:02:24,846 --> 00:02:26,514
and they're for your wife.

31
00:02:26,515 --> 00:02:27,348
Say, what are you doing?

32
00:02:27,349 --> 00:02:28,548
I got tired of buying batteries.

33
00:02:28,549 --> 00:02:30,217
I'm hooking this up
to the house circuit.

34
00:02:30,218 --> 00:02:31,819
What do you know
about electricity?

35
00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:33,254
Nothing, but it ought to work.

36
00:02:33,255 --> 00:02:34,188
Might set the house afire.

37
00:02:34,189 --> 00:02:36,390
Short circuit. Where's Ella Mae?

38
00:02:36,391 --> 00:02:37,258
Cooking.

39
00:02:37,259 --> 00:02:38,592
On your anniversary?

40
00:02:38,593 --> 00:02:39,626
It was her idea.

41
00:02:39,627 --> 00:02:40,660
Hi, Al!

42
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:41,462
Hi, Loretta.

43
00:02:41,463 --> 00:02:42,397
Those flowers for me?

44
00:02:42,398 --> 00:02:45,267
Nope. For your hard-working Mom,
honey.

45
00:02:45,268 --> 00:02:46,368
Gee Willikers.

46
00:02:46,369 --> 00:02:48,403
If anybody ever gave me flowers,

47
00:02:48,404 --> 00:02:50,406
I'd fall flat on my face.

48
00:02:50,407 --> 00:02:51,240
Mrs. Merchant,

49
00:02:51,241 --> 00:02:54,608
when a star boarder buys a bunch
of posies for his landlady,

50
00:02:54,777 --> 00:02:57,177
you know she's a swell gal.

51
00:02:57,178 --> 00:02:58,614
Happy anniversary.

52
00:02:58,615 --> 00:02:59,014
Al...

53
00:02:59,015 --> 00:03:01,917
the only couple I know
that are happy though married.

54
00:03:01,918 --> 00:03:04,152
One of these days,
you'll be bringing flowers

55
00:03:04,153 --> 00:03:05,320
home to a wife of your own.

56
00:03:05,321 --> 00:03:07,223
Then there'll be two happy couples.

57
00:03:07,224 --> 00:03:08,324
I live alone and like it.

58
00:03:08,325 --> 00:03:09,424
You live alone and look it.

59
00:03:09,425 --> 00:03:11,459
Wait till you live double.

60
00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:12,160
It's more fun.

61
00:03:12,161 --> 00:03:14,798
Aw, those flowers are beautiful, Al.
Thanks.

62
00:03:14,799 --> 00:03:16,132
Now you better get ready for dinner.

63
00:03:16,133 --> 00:03:18,567
Come on, Al,
let's go get shaved.

64
00:03:18,568 --> 00:03:20,169
Ok.

65
00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:22,739
I should have thought
of that myself.

66
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:25,374
What do you shave for, Al?

67
00:03:25,510 --> 00:03:27,410
Oh, to make me handsome.

68
00:03:27,411 --> 00:03:29,846
I think you're handsome already.

69
00:03:29,847 --> 00:03:31,648
I think you're beautiful.

70
00:03:33,083 --> 00:03:34,617
Do you like girls, Al?

71
00:03:34,618 --> 00:03:35,519
I sure do.

72
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,788
When did you first start liking girls?

73
00:03:37,789 --> 00:03:40,857
Well, when I found out
they weren't boys.

74
00:03:41,292 --> 00:03:42,793
Well, if you like girls,

75
00:03:42,794 --> 00:03:45,196
how do you know you're
gonna be a bachelor?

76
00:03:45,197 --> 00:03:48,397
'Cause I ain't gonna
ever get married. Ever.

77
00:03:49,801 --> 00:03:52,269
I wish I could shave, too.

78
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,438
Oh, that's easy.

79
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:56,006
Here. Sit right here.

80
00:03:58,610 --> 00:04:01,112
Slap on the soap.

81
00:04:01,681 --> 00:04:03,115
Feels good.

82
00:04:03,116 --> 00:04:04,682
It tickles!

83
00:04:04,683 --> 00:04:06,617
Now lift your head.

84
00:04:06,618 --> 00:04:09,620
Al, ma says she knows
lots of legible girls.

85
00:04:11,324 --> 00:04:12,491
Yeah, I know that already.

86
00:04:12,492 --> 00:04:15,527
Mom can get almost
anybody married, pop says.

87
00:04:15,528 --> 00:04:18,897
That's why she invites
all those girls here to meet you.

88
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:21,800
Ma says someday you're
gonna get hooked.

89
00:04:21,801 --> 00:04:22,533
Not me.

90
00:04:22,534 --> 00:04:25,571
If I do, I won't be
a bachelor anymore, see?

91
00:04:25,572 --> 00:04:28,707
I'll tell you a secret
if you give me a big kiss.

92
00:04:29,709 --> 00:04:31,643
You know, I am gonna get married.

93
00:04:31,644 --> 00:04:32,846
Honest?
Mm-hmm.

94
00:04:32,847 --> 00:04:33,813
When?

95
00:04:33,814 --> 00:04:36,415
Oh, 5, 6 years from now.

96
00:04:36,884 --> 00:04:38,518
To me?
Mm-hmm.

97
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:40,720
Oh, you wouldn't really marry me.

98
00:04:40,721 --> 00:04:42,622
Honest to pete, I would.

99
00:04:42,623 --> 00:04:44,956
Oh, Gee!

100
00:04:45,693 --> 00:04:48,794
I'll always remember
the first time I shaved,

101
00:04:48,863 --> 00:04:51,263
you did it.

102
00:04:57,272 --> 00:04:58,706
I put my car in the garage.

103
00:04:58,707 --> 00:05:00,708
Wouldn't you know it?
It rained on my anniversary.

104
00:05:00,709 --> 00:05:04,010
Never in all my born
days did I ever see a prettier table.

105
00:05:04,446 --> 00:05:05,579
Candles and everything.

106
00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:07,281
Oh, those flowers are beautiful, Al.

107
00:05:07,282 --> 00:05:09,316
You do know the way
to a woman's heart.

108
00:05:09,317 --> 00:05:11,252
You know,
the funniest thing happened today.

109
00:05:11,253 --> 00:05:13,222
I ran into a girl I used to know.

110
00:05:13,223 --> 00:05:13,855
Pretty as a picture.

111
00:05:13,856 --> 00:05:16,823
Nice manners, and she's
a good bowler, too.

112
00:05:16,824 --> 00:05:18,759
Ruth bowled 500.

113
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,728
300 is tops.

114
00:05:19,729 --> 00:05:22,063
What's the extra 200
for, good behavior?

115
00:05:22,064 --> 00:05:24,132
Maybe. I don't know
anything about bowling.

116
00:05:24,133 --> 00:05:26,701
Ella Mae, stop being
Mrs. Cupid, will you?

117
00:05:26,702 --> 00:05:27,737
Ditch the bow and arrow.

118
00:05:27,738 --> 00:05:28,704
Girls are great for laughs,

119
00:05:28,705 --> 00:05:30,105
like those silly hats they wear.

120
00:05:30,106 --> 00:05:33,108
Don't bring any new girls
around here, please.

121
00:05:33,109 --> 00:05:36,110
Well, anyway,
she's a wonderful bowler.

122
00:05:39,082 --> 00:05:40,082
Hey!

123
00:05:40,083 --> 00:05:41,416
You blew a fuse, Jim!

124
00:05:41,417 --> 00:05:42,617
I fix something,

125
00:05:42,618 --> 00:05:43,853
then everything goes black.

126
00:05:43,854 --> 00:05:46,589
Daddy, the lights are out!

127
00:05:46,590 --> 00:05:48,557
Yes, dear, I know they're out.

128
00:05:48,558 --> 00:05:50,793
You're sure a great electrician.

129
00:05:50,794 --> 00:05:52,428
Thanks for the compliment.

130
00:05:52,429 --> 00:05:54,330
Jim, the lights went out!

131
00:05:54,331 --> 00:05:56,166
Don't you think I know it?

132
00:05:56,167 --> 00:05:56,899
Did you ring the bell?

133
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:59,602
Yes, and sparks flew out.

134
00:06:00,137 --> 00:06:02,605
We blew a fuse.

135
00:06:02,740 --> 00:06:05,175
Don't the Merchants live here anymore?

136
00:06:05,176 --> 00:06:07,679
Yeah, I'm Al Schmid.
I board here.

137
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,446
I suppose your name is Ruth.

138
00:06:09,447 --> 00:06:11,380
How did you know?

139
00:06:11,381 --> 00:06:12,148
Ella Mae was tel...

140
00:06:12,149 --> 00:06:14,751
It's silly for you
to be standing out there.

141
00:06:14,752 --> 00:06:15,286
Come on in.

142
00:06:15,287 --> 00:06:18,288
Confound it!
Where's the stairway?

143
00:06:21,326 --> 00:06:24,161
Hi, Ruth.
Gotta find some fuses.

144
00:06:24,663 --> 00:06:28,031
Why don't you take that thing off
before it flies away?

145
00:06:29,267 --> 00:06:29,700
Hat. Hat.

146
00:06:29,701 --> 00:06:32,204
Jim, something's burning
on the stove,

147
00:06:32,205 --> 00:06:33,438
and I can't see a thing.

148
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:35,807
Find a safe spot and sit.

149
00:06:35,808 --> 00:06:37,142
Where's Ella Mae?

150
00:06:37,143 --> 00:06:39,110
The kitchen. Have a sofa.

151
00:06:39,111 --> 00:06:42,079
I fell over
a waste basket, daddy!

152
00:06:42,215 --> 00:06:44,882
Then pick yourself up.

153
00:06:45,117 --> 00:06:48,086
Ella Mae and I used to
work in the same office.

154
00:06:48,087 --> 00:06:50,288
Jim and I, we work
in the same factory.

155
00:06:50,289 --> 00:06:52,057
That must be nice.

156
00:06:52,058 --> 00:06:53,625
Yeah.

157
00:06:54,227 --> 00:06:57,162
I bumped into the door, daddy!

158
00:06:58,799 --> 00:07:01,167
Jim, do you know what you're doing?

159
00:07:01,168 --> 00:07:04,402
Of course I know what I'm doing!
I'm fixing it!

160
00:07:04,604 --> 00:07:05,404
Ouch!

161
00:07:05,405 --> 00:07:07,506
Did you get a shock, daddy?

162
00:07:07,507 --> 00:07:08,807
Put a penny in the fuse.

163
00:07:08,808 --> 00:07:11,910
I just got a shock taking
a penny out of the fuse!

164
00:07:12,113 --> 00:07:15,047
Don't let anybody ring the doorbell.

165
00:07:17,351 --> 00:07:20,019
You see how simple it is?

166
00:07:21,756 --> 00:07:24,057
They have a lovely home,
haven't they?

167
00:07:24,058 --> 00:07:26,326
I suppose you'd like one
yourself someday.

168
00:07:26,327 --> 00:07:29,296
Well, yes, someday I'd
like a home of my own.

169
00:07:29,297 --> 00:07:31,298
I thought so.
On the installment plan.

170
00:07:31,299 --> 00:07:34,101
Most couples start out that way.

171
00:07:34,436 --> 00:07:36,937
Hmm. They sure do.

172
00:07:39,373 --> 00:07:40,673
The flowers are nice.

173
00:07:40,674 --> 00:07:43,111
So many of them, it's
almost like a wedding.

174
00:07:43,112 --> 00:07:45,679
A wedding? Oh, boy,
that's a hot one.

175
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,349
You're way ahead on
your installments, sister.

176
00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:49,350
Hi, Ruth.

177
00:07:49,351 --> 00:07:51,520
Well, you two are
good friends already.

178
00:07:51,521 --> 00:07:54,589
Yep. I feel
as if I met her dozens of times.

179
00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:57,392
Well, isn't that nice?

180
00:07:57,393 --> 00:08:00,027
Come on upstairs, Ruth.

181
00:08:02,098 --> 00:08:04,065
Stuck a pin in the doorbell.

182
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:04,600
What gives?

183
00:08:04,601 --> 00:08:06,769
Ella Mae has got to stop
picking out girls for me to marry.

184
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,038
I'm fed up. I just can't
take it anymore.

185
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:10,405
She doesn't mean to be
a nuisance, Al.

186
00:08:10,406 --> 00:08:12,174
It's just kind of a disease with her.

187
00:08:12,175 --> 00:08:14,377
I'm gonna cure her.
Tonight.

188
00:08:14,378 --> 00:08:16,745
Bowls 500.

189
00:08:34,432 --> 00:08:35,465
What's the score?

190
00:08:35,466 --> 00:08:38,168
You've got 220.
Ruth's got 40.

191
00:08:38,169 --> 00:08:40,703
Bowls 500, does she?

192
00:08:41,706 --> 00:08:44,975
How much longer does
that poor girl have to take this?

193
00:08:45,545 --> 00:08:47,178
He's making her feel
like a monkey.

194
00:08:47,179 --> 00:08:50,113
Not that he isn't enjoying himself.

195
00:08:56,856 --> 00:09:00,357
Every once in a while those pins
act like they're nailed down.

196
00:09:01,394 --> 00:09:03,562
He's using her to tell you off.

197
00:09:03,563 --> 00:09:06,230
That's what you think.

198
00:09:06,765 --> 00:09:08,132
Jim, what are you doing?

199
00:09:08,133 --> 00:09:09,368
I'm gonna fix this gadget.

200
00:09:09,369 --> 00:09:10,302
It's out of focus.

201
00:09:10,303 --> 00:09:11,536
You'll do no such thing.

202
00:09:11,537 --> 00:09:12,203
Yeah, but...

203
00:09:12,204 --> 00:09:14,439
you'll be sued. Now,
put that toolkit away.

204
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,075
Put that toolkit away.

205
00:09:17,644 --> 00:09:18,077
Yes, dear.

206
00:09:18,078 --> 00:09:21,045
You know, I figured out what's wrong.

207
00:09:21,815 --> 00:09:24,483
This alley must be warped.

208
00:09:24,752 --> 00:09:26,419
So is your sense of humor.

209
00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:29,488
Hey, what do you say
we drop over to Webber's

210
00:09:29,489 --> 00:09:31,123
and schlup up a few beers, huh?

211
00:09:31,124 --> 00:09:34,159
Aw, but Ruthie hasn't
hit her stride yet.

212
00:09:34,294 --> 00:09:34,827
Aw, come on, Al.

213
00:09:34,828 --> 00:09:37,696
She wants to get her game going,
don't you, Ruthie?

214
00:09:37,697 --> 00:09:40,501
Yes. I'd enjoy another game.

215
00:09:40,502 --> 00:09:41,301
Well, come on, dear.

216
00:09:41,302 --> 00:09:42,669
Good night, kids.
Have a good time.

217
00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:44,304
Good night.
Good night, all.

218
00:09:44,305 --> 00:09:46,239
Thanks for dinner.

219
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,240
You be good.

220
00:09:47,241 --> 00:09:49,643
Well, champ, start bowling.

221
00:09:49,644 --> 00:09:53,078
You know, I think
there's something wrong with the way I play.

222
00:09:54,849 --> 00:09:55,783
You don't mean it.

223
00:09:55,784 --> 00:09:59,185
I'd be terribly grateful
if you'd show me how you do it.

224
00:09:59,254 --> 00:10:01,188
Well, I'll tell you,

225
00:10:01,189 --> 00:10:02,790
It takes a long time to learn.

226
00:10:02,791 --> 00:10:05,926
Not with a wonderful
bowler like you to teach me.

227
00:10:06,494 --> 00:10:08,895
Well, uh...

228
00:10:10,065 --> 00:10:12,534
well, um, you, um,

229
00:10:12,535 --> 00:10:15,103
bring the ball all the way
back like this...

230
00:10:15,104 --> 00:10:17,238
now I see where all
your power comes from.

231
00:10:17,239 --> 00:10:20,075
And then you let it go
like that.

232
00:10:21,343 --> 00:10:21,976
Oh, I'm so sorry,

233
00:10:21,977 --> 00:10:24,212
but the way you moved
your legs was so graceful,

234
00:10:24,213 --> 00:10:26,448
I forgot to watch
your grip on the ball.

235
00:10:26,449 --> 00:10:27,783
Oh. Like this.

236
00:10:27,784 --> 00:10:29,284
And that little step you do...

237
00:10:29,285 --> 00:10:31,286
is that one
of your secrets for success?

238
00:10:31,287 --> 00:10:34,055
Oh, well, that was a mistake.

239
00:10:34,424 --> 00:10:36,192
You made a mistake?

240
00:10:36,193 --> 00:10:37,426
I was a little nervous.

241
00:10:37,427 --> 00:10:39,662
You, Al Schmid, nervous?

242
00:10:39,663 --> 00:10:42,830
Now, look, are you
gonna try what I just showed you?

243
00:10:44,501 --> 00:10:46,836
I could never do
that cute little step.

244
00:10:46,837 --> 00:10:49,404
Now you're angry.

245
00:10:49,473 --> 00:10:50,473
I'm not angry!

246
00:10:50,474 --> 00:10:53,375
Either put the ball down
or throw it.

247
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:56,212
I didn't say on my foot!

248
00:10:56,481 --> 00:10:57,314
I missed your foot.

249
00:10:57,315 --> 00:10:59,149
By 1/4 of an inch.
How would you feel if...

250
00:10:59,150 --> 00:11:00,250
from the way you've
been acting tonight,

251
00:11:00,251 --> 00:11:01,818
I didn't think you knew
what feelings were.

252
00:11:01,819 --> 00:11:04,854
See here, this wanting
to bowl was just a gag?

253
00:11:04,855 --> 00:11:07,791
Now, don't spoil things
by acting intelligent.

254
00:11:07,792 --> 00:11:09,560
Are you trying to make
a monkey out of me?

255
00:11:09,561 --> 00:11:12,497
It wasn't hard.
You're not very bright.

256
00:11:12,498 --> 00:11:13,097
Is that right?

257
00:11:13,098 --> 00:11:15,700
Now maybe you know
how I've been feeling all evening,

258
00:11:15,701 --> 00:11:16,433
thanks to you.

259
00:11:16,434 --> 00:11:18,535
Thanks to me? Who asked you
on this date? Not me.

260
00:11:18,536 --> 00:11:20,237
You cooked it up
yourself with Ella Mae

261
00:11:20,238 --> 00:11:21,739
so you could hook
yourself a husband.

262
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:22,540
You wanted me to cooperate.

263
00:11:22,541 --> 00:11:24,242
Well, I didn't. I'm no dummy.

264
00:11:24,243 --> 00:11:25,944
When I take out
a dame... look out!

265
00:11:25,945 --> 00:11:29,312
I don't know what you expected
from this date, Mr. Schmid,

266
00:11:29,481 --> 00:11:31,117
but I certainly didn't expect you.

267
00:11:31,118 --> 00:11:33,817
Ella Mae said there'd just be
Jim and her.

268
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:34,818
And as far as I'm concerned,

269
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:37,954
I've spent a dreary evening
with an awful drip.

270
00:11:38,458 --> 00:11:39,625
Good-bye.

271
00:11:53,873 --> 00:11:56,441
Hi, Ruth.
Ride you home?

272
00:11:56,442 --> 00:11:56,842
Go away.

273
00:11:56,843 --> 00:11:59,278
But our little boy is sick, Ruth.

274
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:00,279
He keeps crying for you.

275
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,748
You can't desert him like this.

276
00:12:01,749 --> 00:12:03,583
Stop being a clown and go away.

277
00:12:03,584 --> 00:12:05,485
But he didn't sleep
all last night.

278
00:12:05,486 --> 00:12:07,787
He kept crying, "Mommy,
dear! Mommy, dear!"

279
00:12:07,788 --> 00:12:10,390
It's all right if you
don't love me anymore,

280
00:12:10,391 --> 00:12:12,759
but you can't desert an innocent boy.

281
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,827
You ought to be ashamed
of yourself.

282
00:12:14,828 --> 00:12:17,665
It's all nonsense.
I don't even know him.

283
00:12:17,666 --> 00:12:20,301
Young man, is this just a pickup?

284
00:12:20,302 --> 00:12:22,436
Does she look like
she don't know me?

285
00:12:22,437 --> 00:12:24,471
Or do I have to go as far
as to tell you

286
00:12:24,472 --> 00:12:26,408
she happens to have a mole on her...

287
00:12:26,409 --> 00:12:28,141
excuse me.

288
00:12:28,142 --> 00:12:29,843
Take my advice, young woman.

289
00:12:29,844 --> 00:12:31,745
You'll go home to your child.

290
00:12:31,746 --> 00:12:33,682
Go on, sister.
Go home to your kid.

291
00:12:33,683 --> 00:12:34,716
Probably crying its head off.

292
00:12:34,717 --> 00:12:37,785
It's all right.
It's got two of them.

293
00:12:44,294 --> 00:12:45,927
Two heads.
Imagine that.

294
00:12:45,928 --> 00:12:49,297
You know, you acted
just like you didn't like my looks.

295
00:12:50,166 --> 00:12:52,267
Oh, you're not so bad-looking.

296
00:12:52,268 --> 00:12:54,436
You'd say so, even if
you didn't think so.

297
00:12:54,437 --> 00:12:57,539
You'd think so,
even if I didn't say so.

298
00:13:01,111 --> 00:13:03,745
Why don't you answer
the phone sometime?

299
00:13:03,746 --> 00:13:06,348
I do. Depends on
who's at the other end.

300
00:13:06,349 --> 00:13:09,718
You know, I struck up
quite a friendship with your uncle Ralph,

301
00:13:10,186 --> 00:13:12,154
except he's a little
too old to date.

302
00:13:12,155 --> 00:13:14,423
Try harder.
He won't hook you.

303
00:13:14,424 --> 00:13:15,892
I'm apologizing, see?

304
00:13:15,893 --> 00:13:18,728
How about if we throw away
the rest of the cards

305
00:13:18,729 --> 00:13:20,898
and start with a new deck, huh?

306
00:13:20,899 --> 00:13:23,932
How about you keeping
your eyes on the road?

307
00:13:28,172 --> 00:13:30,207
Would you mind driving
a little faster?

308
00:13:30,208 --> 00:13:31,441
It's my birthday tomorrow,

309
00:13:31,442 --> 00:13:34,345
and I have a dinner date
to celebrate it tonight.

310
00:13:34,346 --> 00:13:37,481
You got a date
to celebrate tonight for tomorrow?

311
00:13:38,283 --> 00:13:39,783
It don't make sense.

312
00:13:39,784 --> 00:13:42,251
Does it have to?

313
00:13:42,487 --> 00:13:43,920
Why are you slowing down?

314
00:13:43,921 --> 00:13:46,923
It feels like my left
rear needs some air.

315
00:13:48,193 --> 00:13:50,261
If you stop, I walk.

316
00:13:50,262 --> 00:13:53,197
I guess I was wrong
about my left rear.

317
00:14:14,688 --> 00:14:17,988
Is that your date
waiting for you in front of your house?

318
00:14:18,124 --> 00:14:20,558
Yes, it is.

319
00:14:22,796 --> 00:14:25,430
Hey, what's the idea?

320
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,269
What's the matter?
Didn't you see my car?

321
00:14:30,270 --> 00:14:31,537
See it? I hit it, didn't i?

322
00:14:31,538 --> 00:14:32,172
Who are you?

323
00:14:32,173 --> 00:14:35,173
Al Schmid. You want to
make something of it?

324
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:38,144
Don't stay out too late,
sweetheart.

325
00:14:38,145 --> 00:14:40,779
I'll be back at 10:30.

326
00:14:50,226 --> 00:14:53,124
What makes men
do such crazy things?

327
00:14:54,562 --> 00:14:56,896
Women!

328
00:15:15,384 --> 00:15:16,650
Uncle Ralph!

329
00:15:16,651 --> 00:15:18,052
Is that the doorbell?

330
00:15:22,692 --> 00:15:24,159
Uncle Ralph!

331
00:15:27,097 --> 00:15:29,530
Uncle Ralph!

332
00:15:37,307 --> 00:15:39,341
It's 10:30, sweetheart.

333
00:15:39,342 --> 00:15:40,509
Happy birthday tomorrow.

334
00:15:40,510 --> 00:15:42,880
Can I interest you in
a whirlwind courtship?

335
00:15:42,881 --> 00:15:44,848
Say, any loose
bowling balls around here?

336
00:15:44,849 --> 00:15:45,681
Uh-uh. Don't say it.

337
00:15:45,682 --> 00:15:48,583
What girl wants to
stay home on the night before her birthday?

338
00:15:48,584 --> 00:15:50,152
You don't have to worry about me.

339
00:15:50,153 --> 00:15:51,221
I've got plenty of boyfriends.

340
00:15:51,222 --> 00:15:52,655
Then I'll start at
the bottom of the list

341
00:15:52,656 --> 00:15:53,790
and work myself up
to number one man.

342
00:15:53,791 --> 00:15:56,226
You start going with me,
and you're liable to get hooked.

343
00:15:56,227 --> 00:15:57,693
Stop throwing that hook
at me, will you?

344
00:15:57,694 --> 00:16:00,164
After tonight, if you still
don't want any part of me,

345
00:16:00,165 --> 00:16:02,366
I'll... I'll leave Philadelphia.

346
00:16:02,367 --> 00:16:03,066
I'm going to bed.

347
00:16:03,067 --> 00:16:05,268
How about celebrating
your birthday tomorrow

348
00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:07,103
with me and something special,

349
00:16:07,104 --> 00:16:09,172
like going to the fights?

350
00:16:09,173 --> 00:16:10,774
Save that for your birthday.

351
00:16:10,775 --> 00:16:12,643
Ice hockey?
Roller skating?

352
00:16:12,644 --> 00:16:13,343
Oh, I get it.

353
00:16:13,344 --> 00:16:15,814
You either want to exercise
or see other people exercise.

354
00:16:15,815 --> 00:16:17,381
Oh, don't get me wrong, Ruth.

355
00:16:17,382 --> 00:16:19,317
I'll do anything you say.

356
00:16:19,318 --> 00:16:20,284
Like going hunting?

357
00:16:20,285 --> 00:16:22,486
Believe me, Ruthie,
there's nothing like it

358
00:16:22,487 --> 00:16:25,322
when the weather
is cool and crisp

359
00:16:25,424 --> 00:16:27,859
and frost is in the air.

360
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:29,793
You're glad to be alive,

361
00:16:29,794 --> 00:16:33,130
and, oh, it feels good
to smell those autumn leaves burning.

362
00:16:33,599 --> 00:16:36,434
You can hear
the coon dogs running.

363
00:16:36,436 --> 00:16:39,037
Honest, it's great.

364
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:19,813
Hi, Ruth!

365
00:17:19,814 --> 00:17:20,847
Coffee perkin'?

366
00:17:20,848 --> 00:17:21,681
It's on the fire.

367
00:17:21,682 --> 00:17:24,618
If it gets cold again,
why, we'll keep warm.

368
00:17:24,619 --> 00:17:26,854
We've got plenty
of wood.

369
00:17:26,855 --> 00:17:28,723
Boy, when I get out in
the country like this,

370
00:17:28,724 --> 00:17:31,358
I don't know why I ever
came back to the city.

371
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:31,859
Why did you?

372
00:17:31,860 --> 00:17:34,695
After my ma died,
my old man got married again, see,

373
00:17:34,696 --> 00:17:35,863
so I hit the road.

374
00:17:35,864 --> 00:17:37,197
Where's the corn?

375
00:17:37,198 --> 00:17:37,832
Right there.

376
00:17:37,833 --> 00:17:40,200
I was just a kid,
but I could take it.

377
00:17:40,201 --> 00:17:42,737
How old were you when
you started to work?

378
00:17:42,738 --> 00:17:43,105
15.

379
00:17:43,106 --> 00:17:45,673
That's kind of young
to be on your own, isn't it?

380
00:17:45,674 --> 00:17:46,707
How about you?

381
00:17:46,708 --> 00:17:48,143
Oh, I like it.

382
00:17:48,144 --> 00:17:49,711
I like to live independent.

383
00:17:49,712 --> 00:17:51,479
Even if the money ain't much.

384
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,714
At the end of that year
I saved 8 bucks.

385
00:17:53,715 --> 00:17:55,317
Right now I'm sitting pretty.

386
00:17:55,318 --> 00:17:56,852
S burner at the foundry.

387
00:17:56,853 --> 00:17:58,187
Making 40 bucks a week,

388
00:17:58,188 --> 00:17:59,788
trying hard to spend it all.

389
00:17:59,789 --> 00:18:02,325
You want to help me spend it?

390
00:18:02,326 --> 00:18:03,492
Easy come, easy go, hmm?

391
00:18:03,493 --> 00:18:04,727
Easy come nothing.
It's hard work.

392
00:18:04,728 --> 00:18:08,363
What's the use of making
dough if you can't have any fun out of it?

393
00:18:08,499 --> 00:18:10,566
You might save some
for a rainy day.

394
00:18:10,567 --> 00:18:12,769
What rainy day?
Ain't gonna be any.

395
00:18:12,770 --> 00:18:13,803
I got it all arranged.

396
00:18:13,804 --> 00:18:16,205
Every day is gonna be
Sunday in summer.

397
00:18:16,206 --> 00:18:18,174
No responsibilities,
no worries,

398
00:18:18,175 --> 00:18:20,410
no waiting around on women.

399
00:18:20,411 --> 00:18:22,346
Real rugged, aren't you?

400
00:18:22,347 --> 00:18:23,413
You know what?

401
00:18:23,414 --> 00:18:23,881
No, what?

402
00:18:23,882 --> 00:18:26,183
You're the best girl
I ever took any place.

403
00:18:26,184 --> 00:18:27,850
You know what I like about you?

404
00:18:27,851 --> 00:18:28,751
I can't imagine.

405
00:18:28,752 --> 00:18:30,454
I like the way you stand up to me.

406
00:18:30,455 --> 00:18:31,788
I like the way
you curl up in the car seat.

407
00:18:31,789 --> 00:18:35,091
I like the way you don't
jabber all the time and you sit quiet.

408
00:18:35,092 --> 00:18:38,060
I like the way you laugh
at my corny jokes.

409
00:18:38,330 --> 00:18:39,330
I like the way you listen.

410
00:18:39,331 --> 00:18:41,765
I like it when you say you're
gonna do something, you do it,

411
00:18:41,766 --> 00:18:44,503
and you don't make up
a lot of silly excuses.

412
00:18:44,504 --> 00:18:46,804
Silly excuses about what?

413
00:18:46,805 --> 00:18:48,138
Oh, about going out.

414
00:18:48,139 --> 00:18:50,174
I didn't think you would.

415
00:18:50,175 --> 00:18:52,677
Look where we are.

416
00:18:54,714 --> 00:18:58,048
That's the second time you've
kissed me without warning.

417
00:19:02,722 --> 00:19:05,123
You want a warning next time?

418
00:19:05,124 --> 00:19:06,391
Like what?

419
00:19:06,392 --> 00:19:08,227
Oh, something like hello.

420
00:19:08,228 --> 00:19:11,062
That's a fair enough warning.

421
00:19:11,498 --> 00:19:13,797
Hello.

422
00:19:19,407 --> 00:19:22,006
You brown-eyed devil.

423
00:19:37,258 --> 00:19:40,292
Jim, what in heaven's name
are you doing?

424
00:19:40,561 --> 00:19:42,062
I'm fixing the radio.

425
00:19:42,063 --> 00:19:44,130
It just so happens
that the adjuster case

426
00:19:44,131 --> 00:19:45,098
and stud for the oscillator coil

427
00:19:45,099 --> 00:19:48,468
are too close to the 5-point
female plug for the speaker cable.

428
00:19:49,103 --> 00:19:50,136
What does that mean?

429
00:19:50,137 --> 00:19:53,206
It means the beginning
of the end of our radio.

430
00:20:03,185 --> 00:20:04,285
This thing snores.

431
00:20:04,286 --> 00:20:05,319
Ah ha ha.

432
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,353
Ha ha.

433
00:20:06,822 --> 00:20:08,456
Have a rug with the boyfriend.

434
00:20:08,457 --> 00:20:11,726
This prince valiant,
oh, he's a real rugged fella.

435
00:20:12,595 --> 00:20:14,129
Here, have a comic.

436
00:20:14,130 --> 00:20:17,697
Boy, what I'd give for two weeks
in Canada now, huntin' bear.

437
00:20:17,933 --> 00:20:19,101
Let's go. I'm ready.

438
00:20:19,102 --> 00:20:21,970
Oh, no, not with my responsibilities.

439
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:25,539
Dinner's almost ready.
Jim, call Loretta.

440
00:20:25,808 --> 00:20:28,310
5 bucks it works.

441
00:20:34,785 --> 00:20:37,419
I haven't got 5 bucks.

442
00:20:41,525 --> 00:20:42,692
Jim and Ella Mae
have picked out

443
00:20:42,693 --> 00:20:44,628
their favorite joint
for New Year's Eve.

444
00:20:44,629 --> 00:20:46,229
Want to come with me,
or should I look up

445
00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:49,397
in my address book
and find some good-looking dame?

446
00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:51,501
Suit yourself.

447
00:20:51,502 --> 00:20:53,169
You know, uh,
come to think of it,

448
00:20:53,170 --> 00:20:55,905
I don't have any other
boyfriends anymore.

449
00:20:55,906 --> 00:20:57,307
That's not so good.

450
00:20:57,308 --> 00:20:58,275
What's wrong with me?

451
00:20:58,276 --> 00:21:00,644
So you want a new crop
of boyfriends.

452
00:21:00,645 --> 00:21:01,378
I didn't say I did.

453
00:21:01,379 --> 00:21:02,846
All right,
if that's the way you feel about it.

454
00:21:02,847 --> 00:21:05,349
Maybe you won't have
to put up with me so long.

455
00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:06,717
I kind of feel
the moss under me.

456
00:21:06,718 --> 00:21:09,053
Soon as I get
a neat little pile in the bank,

457
00:21:09,054 --> 00:21:10,621
I'm gonna
pull up stakes, go to Canada,

458
00:21:10,622 --> 00:21:13,723
spend the whole year
huntin' and fishin'.

459
00:21:14,326 --> 00:21:15,259
Want to come?

460
00:21:15,260 --> 00:21:17,895
When the time comes,
ask me and see.

461
00:21:17,896 --> 00:21:20,364
I always told you
I was a rolling stone.

462
00:21:20,365 --> 00:21:21,867
You're not surprised,
are you?

463
00:21:21,868 --> 00:21:22,367
No.

464
00:21:22,368 --> 00:21:23,468
Radio announcer:
A report has just come in

465
00:21:23,469 --> 00:21:26,404
that the Japanese
have bombed Pearl Harbor.

466
00:21:26,405 --> 00:21:29,140
We have no further
information at present,

467
00:21:29,141 --> 00:21:31,809
but more bulletins
are coming in over the wires.

468
00:21:31,810 --> 00:21:33,578
Where's
Pearl Harbor?

469
00:21:33,579 --> 00:21:34,379
I don't know.

470
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:36,348
I was never good
at geography.

471
00:21:36,349 --> 00:21:39,417
You want
to come with me New Year's Eve?

472
00:21:39,619 --> 00:21:42,354
I might,
if you ask me nice.

473
00:21:42,522 --> 00:21:44,789
Oh.

474
00:21:46,426 --> 00:21:47,560
Once upon a time,

475
00:21:47,561 --> 00:21:50,563
he told me he was gonna marry me
when we were shaving.

476
00:21:50,564 --> 00:21:51,597
Fine thing.

477
00:21:51,598 --> 00:21:53,800
I think we're
both out of luck, Loretta.

478
00:21:53,801 --> 00:21:56,335
He'll probably end up
happily married to a shotgun

479
00:21:56,336 --> 00:21:59,471
and having a romance
on the side with his fishing tackle.

480
00:21:59,472 --> 00:22:01,408
Well, there's nothing wrong
with a shotgun wedding

481
00:22:01,409 --> 00:22:02,475
if it's your own shotgun.

482
00:22:02,476 --> 00:22:03,776
Jim, where's Pearl Harbor?

483
00:22:03,777 --> 00:22:06,712
Pearl Harbor?
Oh, it's down the Jersey coast,

484
00:22:06,713 --> 00:22:08,114
near Atlantic city someplace.

485
00:22:08,115 --> 00:22:10,584
Can't be,
the Japs are bombing it.

486
00:22:10,585 --> 00:22:12,086
I know where Pearl Harbor is.

487
00:22:12,087 --> 00:22:12,852
We had it in geography.

488
00:22:12,853 --> 00:22:14,287
Aw, it's one of those
men from mars programs.

489
00:22:14,288 --> 00:22:16,323
The Japs just got through
telling Roosevelt they love us.

490
00:22:16,324 --> 00:22:17,425
We interrupt this program

491
00:22:17,426 --> 00:22:20,493
with news of grave importance
to every American.

492
00:22:20,729 --> 00:22:21,262
Look.

493
00:22:21,263 --> 00:22:24,431
War broke with lightning
suddenness in the Pacific today.

494
00:22:24,432 --> 00:22:25,666
Doesn't it smell good? Shh!

495
00:22:25,667 --> 00:22:27,768
Without warning,
waves of Japanese planes

496
00:22:27,769 --> 00:22:29,203
attacked Hawaii this morning.

497
00:22:29,204 --> 00:22:31,539
Bombers blasted at Pearl Harbor,

498
00:22:31,540 --> 00:22:32,541
at the city of Honolulu.

499
00:22:32,542 --> 00:22:35,710
The initial attacks caused
widespread damage and death.

500
00:22:36,646 --> 00:22:38,780
Full reports have not yet come in,

501
00:22:38,781 --> 00:22:41,549
but one thing is already certain:

502
00:22:41,550 --> 00:22:44,419
The United States is at war
with Japan.

503
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:46,787
Stand by.

504
00:22:47,623 --> 00:22:48,590
Dinner's ready.

505
00:22:48,591 --> 00:22:50,892
War...
what do you know?

506
00:22:50,893 --> 00:22:52,327
Are you going to war, daddy?

507
00:22:52,328 --> 00:22:53,129
Are you gonna be a soldier?

508
00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:55,297
Come on and sit down.
The roast will get cold.

509
00:22:55,298 --> 00:22:56,233
We're at war, honey.

510
00:22:56,234 --> 00:22:57,599
The United States is at war.

511
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,467
Yes, dear, I know,

512
00:22:58,468 --> 00:22:59,601
but the roast will get cold.

513
00:22:59,602 --> 00:23:01,303
Now, come on and start carving.

514
00:23:01,304 --> 00:23:02,537
Yes, dear.

515
00:23:02,538 --> 00:23:04,173
Are you gonna be a soldier, Al?

516
00:23:04,174 --> 00:23:07,142
Ah, I'm going to Canada,
shoot bear.

517
00:23:10,547 --> 00:23:11,346
Leg of lamb, mmm.

518
00:23:11,347 --> 00:23:13,651
Boy, oh, boy, that
smells wonderful, Ella Mae.

519
00:23:13,652 --> 00:23:14,785
It's about time somebody said that.

520
00:23:14,786 --> 00:23:17,319
I hope you two are
going with us New Year's Eve.

521
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,788
It's that little
chop suey place.

522
00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:21,224
The management likes
to have us come on New Year's.

523
00:23:21,225 --> 00:23:22,192
Says we add class to the joint.

524
00:23:22,193 --> 00:23:25,427
Jim and me got engaged there...
oh, I forgot the candles.

525
00:23:25,796 --> 00:23:26,663
Oh, here you are.

526
00:23:26,664 --> 00:23:30,000
Why, I'm the best little
candle lighter in Philadelphia.

527
00:23:30,502 --> 00:23:33,935
You know, I bet it would
be more fun shootin' Japs than bears.

528
00:23:50,189 --> 00:23:51,354
Hiya, Joe.

529
00:23:51,355 --> 00:23:53,691
Hi, Al.

530
00:24:04,837 --> 00:24:07,306
Hiya, Scott. Hi.

531
00:24:10,543 --> 00:24:11,710
Hey!
Where you been?

532
00:24:11,711 --> 00:24:12,877
Downtown, joining the marines.

533
00:24:12,878 --> 00:24:15,581
Ah, baloney, they'd never take you.

534
00:24:15,582 --> 00:24:16,615
Aw, is that so?

535
00:24:16,616 --> 00:24:18,217
Take a look at this.

536
00:24:18,218 --> 00:24:20,320
United States Marine Corp.

537
00:24:20,321 --> 00:24:23,088
Say, that's pretty good.

538
00:24:31,699 --> 00:24:34,234
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!

539
00:24:34,235 --> 00:24:36,736
Happy New Year!

540
00:24:39,741 --> 00:24:40,241
Haa ha.

541
00:24:40,242 --> 00:24:41,775
You know, you gotta be real rugged

542
00:24:41,776 --> 00:24:42,809
to get in the marines.

543
00:24:42,810 --> 00:24:44,211
First to land
first to fight.

544
00:24:44,212 --> 00:24:45,545
They turned down
4 guys in front of me.

545
00:24:45,546 --> 00:24:47,581
Yeah, the marines
aren't takin' everybody.

546
00:24:47,582 --> 00:24:49,250
I walked in, they took my pulse,

547
00:24:49,251 --> 00:24:51,185
eyes, ears, nose, throat.

548
00:24:51,186 --> 00:24:51,818
I coughed.

549
00:24:51,819 --> 00:24:53,754
Raised my hand.
Slapped me on the back.

550
00:24:53,755 --> 00:24:54,856
I'm a U.S. Marine.

551
00:24:54,857 --> 00:24:56,223
Well, that was fast.

552
00:24:56,224 --> 00:24:57,292
Took 4 hours.

553
00:24:57,293 --> 00:24:58,426
How come they held up the war

554
00:24:58,427 --> 00:24:59,293
to let you keep our date?

555
00:24:59,294 --> 00:25:01,829
Oh, I just described you
to them, sweetheart.

556
00:25:01,830 --> 00:25:02,598
A picture of the MacArthur

557
00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:04,499
when he hears
Al Schmid's in the marines.

558
00:25:05,534 --> 00:25:06,200
War's over.

559
00:25:06,201 --> 00:25:09,535
Ruth, how do you think
you're gonna like Al in a uniform?

560
00:25:09,805 --> 00:25:13,040
Don't expect I'll
see enough of him to tell.

561
00:25:13,076 --> 00:25:13,909
As soon as I get on the train,

562
00:25:13,910 --> 00:25:16,611
Ruthie's gonna get
herself a new batch of boyfriends.

563
00:25:16,612 --> 00:25:17,445
Aren't you, Ruthie?

564
00:25:17,446 --> 00:25:18,848
Yup, one for every night
of the week.

565
00:25:18,849 --> 00:25:21,482
We kind of made
a little agreement for tonight.

566
00:25:21,483 --> 00:25:23,118
No getting soft-hearted.

567
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,286
Isn't that right?

568
00:25:24,287 --> 00:25:26,821
That's right.

569
00:25:27,690 --> 00:25:30,858
Boy, oh, boy.
7 more hours before my train leaves.

570
00:25:31,595 --> 00:25:34,130
Kind of gettin' excited.

571
00:25:34,131 --> 00:25:35,832
Hurray for the U.S. Marines!

572
00:25:38,102 --> 00:25:40,835
On your feet, Miss Hartley.

573
00:25:45,275 --> 00:25:46,342
Jim?
Hmm?

574
00:25:46,343 --> 00:25:48,477
Do you suppose he's gonna propose?

575
00:25:48,478 --> 00:25:49,278
Search me.

576
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:51,949
I kind of thought maybe
he'd do like you did here,

577
00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:53,283
when you asked me.

578
00:25:53,284 --> 00:25:56,185
Maybe he isn't as smart as I was.

579
00:26:03,727 --> 00:26:06,696
You know, Ruthie, I been thinkin'.

580
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:07,798
Yes, Al?

581
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:10,835
The only Japs I ever seen
were at Atlantic City,

582
00:26:10,836 --> 00:26:13,672
where you throw the ball
and win a kewpie doll,

583
00:26:13,673 --> 00:26:16,673
and it gets broke
before you get it home.

584
00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:19,644
Those Japs always were snikey.

585
00:26:19,645 --> 00:26:22,780
Yep, shootin' Japs
oughta be more fun than...

586
00:26:22,815 --> 00:26:24,315
shootin' bear?

587
00:26:24,316 --> 00:26:25,216
Yeah.

588
00:26:25,217 --> 00:26:27,152
You don't figure they could shoot you.

589
00:26:27,153 --> 00:26:30,088
Me? Well, what have
they got against me?

590
00:26:31,491 --> 00:26:34,557
Happy New Year, everybody!
Happy New Year!

591
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:38,029
Ruthie, I... I want a kiss
that'll last me for the duration.

592
00:26:39,432 --> 00:26:41,266
You got one like that?

593
00:26:41,267 --> 00:26:43,735
I'll do my darndest.

594
00:26:43,736 --> 00:26:45,672
Hello.

595
00:26:45,673 --> 00:26:48,707
And days of auld lang syne

596
00:26:51,411 --> 00:26:53,880
for auld lang syne...

597
00:26:53,881 --> 00:26:56,215
happy New Year, darling.

598
00:26:56,216 --> 00:26:57,884
Happy New Year.

599
00:26:57,885 --> 00:27:00,552
For auld lang syne

600
00:27:01,890 --> 00:27:04,657
we'll take a cup...

601
00:27:09,231 --> 00:27:10,497
Don't you believe it.

602
00:27:10,498 --> 00:27:11,865
The marines'll get every one
of those islands back.

603
00:27:11,866 --> 00:27:14,600
Providing Al Schmid's
one of the marines, huh?

604
00:27:14,601 --> 00:27:16,637
Well, I sure hope
to be there when it happens.

605
00:27:16,638 --> 00:27:18,839
If you two kids
want to take an extra minute

606
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,807
saying good-bye,
Jim'll keep me warm.

607
00:27:20,808 --> 00:27:23,877
I won't be long.
Gotta pack, still, you know.

608
00:27:23,878 --> 00:27:26,214
Call me tomorrow, Ruthie.

609
00:27:26,215 --> 00:27:27,181
Ok.

610
00:27:27,182 --> 00:27:29,716
Happy New Year.

611
00:27:37,626 --> 00:27:40,428
I don't know whether
to ask you to sit down, or what.

612
00:27:40,429 --> 00:27:42,497
I, uh, I gotta pack, sweetie.

613
00:27:42,498 --> 00:27:45,598
You packed that trunk
10 times already tonight.

614
00:27:46,101 --> 00:27:49,436
It's not a trunk.
It's just one of those little...

615
00:27:49,539 --> 00:27:50,305
I know.

616
00:27:50,306 --> 00:27:52,840
Kind of exciting being a marine

617
00:27:52,841 --> 00:27:55,310
going off to war, isn't it, Al?

618
00:27:55,311 --> 00:27:56,879
Yeah.

619
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,448
Well, I guess if I were a man,

620
00:27:59,449 --> 00:28:00,849
I'd join the marines, too.

621
00:28:00,850 --> 00:28:03,286
I'm glad you're not a man.

622
00:28:03,287 --> 00:28:04,520
Why?

623
00:28:04,521 --> 00:28:05,721
Why do you think?

624
00:28:05,722 --> 00:28:08,656
I'm not thinking
very much right now.

625
00:28:15,767 --> 00:28:16,465
Honey, I, uh...

626
00:28:16,466 --> 00:28:19,402
well, there's
a lot of things I'd like to say,

627
00:28:19,403 --> 00:28:20,337
but I don't know how to say them,

628
00:28:20,338 --> 00:28:23,406
so, uh, I'll just cut it
down to good-bye.

629
00:28:23,407 --> 00:28:25,174
I'd like to see you off
at the train.

630
00:28:25,175 --> 00:28:27,143
I don't want you
to stay up that late.

631
00:28:27,144 --> 00:28:28,312
I'm not tired.

632
00:28:28,313 --> 00:28:28,779
No.

633
00:28:28,780 --> 00:28:31,880
All right, Al, if that's
the way you want it.

634
00:28:32,584 --> 00:28:34,285
It's better that way.

635
00:28:34,286 --> 00:28:34,884
You know, I'm...

636
00:28:34,885 --> 00:28:37,821
I'm not much good
at letter writing.

637
00:28:38,224 --> 00:28:40,090
I'll bet you're not.

638
00:28:40,091 --> 00:28:42,892
Anything I want to say,
I'd better say now.

639
00:28:42,893 --> 00:28:45,129
I know I've been kind of
monopolizing your time

640
00:28:45,130 --> 00:28:46,196
the last couple of months.

641
00:28:46,197 --> 00:28:49,165
I... I want you to get
back into circulation.

642
00:28:50,736 --> 00:28:51,770
Have fun.

643
00:28:51,771 --> 00:28:53,739
You don't have to worry about me.

644
00:28:53,740 --> 00:28:56,974
Sure... isn't as if
anything was said between us.

645
00:28:59,511 --> 00:29:00,746
That's right.

646
00:29:00,747 --> 00:29:03,747
Can't tell.
Things may be different.

647
00:29:04,783 --> 00:29:07,085
Sure.

648
00:29:07,087 --> 00:29:09,520
Well, I, uh...

649
00:29:17,430 --> 00:29:19,764
hello.

650
00:29:27,207 --> 00:29:30,008
You've been fun, sweetheart.

651
00:29:30,912 --> 00:29:33,646
You've been fun, too, Al.

652
00:30:32,375 --> 00:30:35,678
I want you to get back
into circulation, have fun.

653
00:30:35,679 --> 00:30:37,847
Ruthie: You don't have
to worry about me...

654
00:30:37,848 --> 00:30:40,782
you don't have to worry about me...

655
00:31:13,453 --> 00:31:15,454
Ruth.

656
00:31:15,455 --> 00:31:17,054
You came anyway.

657
00:31:17,055 --> 00:31:18,222
Are you sore?

658
00:31:18,223 --> 00:31:19,223
Sure, I'm sore.

659
00:31:19,224 --> 00:31:21,792
I could murder you.

660
00:31:24,396 --> 00:31:26,230
Aw, honey, you were
gonna just stand here

661
00:31:26,231 --> 00:31:27,564
and let me go
without saying anything.

662
00:31:27,565 --> 00:31:30,568
I don't know, I might've called
to you at the last minute.

663
00:31:30,569 --> 00:31:33,838
Sun line limited arriving
on track number two.

664
00:31:35,241 --> 00:31:36,408
Wilmington...

665
00:31:36,409 --> 00:31:39,510
we only got a minute.
Ruthie, listen, you love me?

666
00:31:40,679 --> 00:31:41,480
Well, me, too, you.

667
00:31:41,481 --> 00:31:44,717
I don't want you doing what I said;
going out with other guys.

668
00:31:44,718 --> 00:31:46,219
I guess I wouldn't have, anyway.

669
00:31:46,220 --> 00:31:48,288
You've spoiled me for anyone else.

670
00:31:48,289 --> 00:31:49,455
Will you wait for me, Ruthie?

671
00:31:49,456 --> 00:31:51,291
You'll have to pry me loose.

672
00:31:51,292 --> 00:31:54,059
I'm the sticking kind now.

673
00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:58,195
All aboard.

674
00:31:58,364 --> 00:32:01,034
I want one last look
at that sweet face you got.

675
00:32:01,035 --> 00:32:03,169
Don't change the way
you look, will you?

676
00:32:03,170 --> 00:32:05,338
That's the way I want
to see you when I come back.

677
00:32:05,339 --> 00:32:06,306
Take care of yourself,

678
00:32:06,307 --> 00:32:07,974
and, darling,
don't be a hero or anything.

679
00:32:07,975 --> 00:32:10,344
Honey, I'm gonna
wrap myself up in cellophane.

680
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:11,611
I got a reason now.

681
00:32:11,612 --> 00:32:14,147
Aboard! Aboard!

682
00:32:15,216 --> 00:32:16,783
I see you got
your trunk packed.

683
00:32:16,784 --> 00:32:17,684
Yeah.

684
00:32:17,685 --> 00:32:19,686
Oh, I forgot about your present,

685
00:32:19,687 --> 00:32:21,322
and the train's gonna start.

686
00:32:21,323 --> 00:32:22,456
Here, it's for good luck, Al.

687
00:32:22,457 --> 00:32:23,790
Oh. Aw, thanks, that's right.

688
00:32:23,791 --> 00:32:24,659
I got something here for you.

689
00:32:24,660 --> 00:32:27,195
Well, mail it.
The train'll go without you.

690
00:32:27,196 --> 00:32:28,496
Here, I want you to have it.

691
00:32:28,497 --> 00:32:29,697
It's kind of dinky.

692
00:32:29,698 --> 00:32:32,167
If you don't like it,
throw it away.

693
00:32:32,168 --> 00:32:33,601
Good-bye, honey.

694
00:32:33,602 --> 00:32:36,235
I even like your hat.

695
00:33:08,171 --> 00:33:09,339
Say good-bye to Al?

696
00:33:09,340 --> 00:33:11,840
Yes, uncle Ralph.

697
00:33:15,513 --> 00:33:17,246
Winter
lightning.

698
00:33:17,247 --> 00:33:20,049
We don't often see that.

699
00:33:22,486 --> 00:33:24,554
Kind of special.

700
00:33:24,555 --> 00:33:26,823
Yes.

701
00:33:31,829 --> 00:33:34,463
Sort of a special day.

702
00:34:05,730 --> 00:34:09,301
The day came when Al sent me
a new forwarding address.

703
00:34:09,302 --> 00:34:12,203
He didn't know where he was going.

704
00:34:13,073 --> 00:34:15,641
Later, a card came
saying that Private Schmid

705
00:34:15,642 --> 00:34:17,477
had arrived safely at his destination.

706
00:34:17,478 --> 00:34:20,946
Of course, it didn't say
that destination was Guadalcanal.

707
00:34:21,414 --> 00:34:24,483
All of us were reading about
how important it was

708
00:34:24,485 --> 00:34:27,453
that the marines capture
Henderson Field.

709
00:34:29,055 --> 00:34:30,624
After we hit the beach,

710
00:34:30,625 --> 00:34:33,559
Taking Henderson Field
was pretty easy.

711
00:34:33,561 --> 00:34:36,528
Hangin' on to it
was something else.

712
00:34:36,631 --> 00:34:39,598
Then the Japs pulled back
into the jungle.

713
00:34:39,834 --> 00:34:41,001
Things got plenty rugged.

714
00:34:41,002 --> 00:34:44,069
They taught us what
infiltration really meant.

715
00:34:44,605 --> 00:34:47,407
They were good at it. Too good.

716
00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:50,577
We learned a lot of lessons.

717
00:34:50,578 --> 00:34:53,046
Man, we had to.

718
00:34:54,417 --> 00:34:56,485
Wasn't enough of anything.

719
00:34:56,486 --> 00:34:58,118
Not even any mail.

720
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:01,153
So we read our old letters
over and over again.

721
00:35:01,791 --> 00:35:04,258
I got one letter off to Ruth.

722
00:35:04,259 --> 00:35:07,795
Then things got worse, and there
wasn't much time for writin'.

723
00:35:22,312 --> 00:35:23,645
Where's that shambo?

724
00:35:23,646 --> 00:35:24,879
I don't know.

725
00:35:25,615 --> 00:35:28,450
Somebody oughta take care of that.

726
00:35:37,461 --> 00:35:40,061
Guess somebody did.

727
00:35:41,332 --> 00:35:44,333
I hear they got 4 of
our cruisers last night.

728
00:35:45,202 --> 00:35:47,737
Now all the Nip crews
has got to do

729
00:35:47,738 --> 00:35:50,641
is sit out there tonight
and spit at us.

730
00:35:50,642 --> 00:35:53,676
Anybody tell you
you're gettin' ripe?

731
00:35:55,813 --> 00:35:57,747
That's all right,
I'm gettin' used to it.

732
00:35:57,748 --> 00:36:00,450
Anyway, Jap stinks worse.

733
00:36:01,353 --> 00:36:03,120
Gonna dig this hole so deep,

734
00:36:03,121 --> 00:36:06,023
it'll be just short
of desertion.

735
00:36:12,029 --> 00:36:12,529
Got any dope?

736
00:36:12,530 --> 00:36:15,832
Scuttlebutt's the Nips are landing
up the coast a-ways.

737
00:36:18,437 --> 00:36:21,906
Jawohl. No sleep, no chow,
no smokes, no mail,

738
00:36:28,648 --> 00:36:31,916
not enough planes,
not enough navy, not enough doctors...

739
00:36:33,452 --> 00:36:35,353
brother, we're hangin' on the ropes,

740
00:36:35,354 --> 00:36:37,223
and the referee's up to 8.

741
00:36:37,224 --> 00:36:39,958
You know something, Al...

742
00:36:40,827 --> 00:36:43,761
we've been here two weeks, already.

743
00:36:46,699 --> 00:36:49,401
It's our anniversary.

744
00:36:54,008 --> 00:36:56,876
Remind me later, I'll bake a cake.

745
00:36:56,877 --> 00:36:59,245
Imagine me,
gettin' married in the morning

746
00:36:59,246 --> 00:37:00,648
and leaving for
the embarkation point

747
00:37:00,649 --> 00:37:01,749
that very noon.

748
00:37:01,750 --> 00:37:03,482
No honeymoon?

749
00:37:03,483 --> 00:37:04,283
No nothin'.

750
00:37:04,284 --> 00:37:05,317
How do you like this guy?

751
00:37:05,318 --> 00:37:06,419
He gets married in the morning

752
00:37:06,420 --> 00:37:07,286
and embarks in the afternoon.

753
00:37:07,287 --> 00:37:10,124
It's like buyin' oats
for a dead horse.

754
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:12,159
Don't let him rib you, Lenny.

755
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,028
I wish I'd done the same thing.

756
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:19,300
Why you guys gangin' up?

757
00:37:19,301 --> 00:37:21,501
Didn't you hear what
the lieutenant said?

758
00:37:21,502 --> 00:37:23,403
Thought you were takin' your legs

759
00:37:23,404 --> 00:37:24,472
back to the medical?

760
00:37:24,473 --> 00:37:25,039
I'm ok.

761
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,175
It's time to relieve
those guys, ain't it?

762
00:37:28,243 --> 00:37:29,477
Be dark in a few minutes.

763
00:37:29,478 --> 00:37:30,578
Let's make a run for it.

764
00:37:30,579 --> 00:37:32,581
Naw, they'd cut you in two.

765
00:37:32,582 --> 00:37:34,115
Then the two of us should go.

766
00:37:34,116 --> 00:37:36,585
Legs running one way,
torso the other.

767
00:37:36,586 --> 00:37:38,852
Ha.

768
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:57,838
Diamond comin' in.

769
00:38:02,479 --> 00:38:05,013
Rivers coming in.

770
00:38:09,487 --> 00:38:11,988
Schmid coming in.

771
00:38:17,495 --> 00:38:20,362
Too many in here, get goin'.

772
00:38:21,065 --> 00:38:24,433
Is that the straight dope
about them comin' over tonight?

773
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:26,369
Shove off, knucklehead.

774
00:38:26,370 --> 00:38:28,706
Ok by me.

775
00:38:28,707 --> 00:38:31,208
Home and mother.

776
00:38:49,028 --> 00:38:51,063
He didn't change the bolt in this.

777
00:38:51,064 --> 00:38:53,697
It's still burred.

778
00:38:54,366 --> 00:38:57,535
Maybe there's a spare bolt
in the parts box.

779
00:38:57,670 --> 00:39:00,471
Check your water hose, Al.

780
00:39:05,211 --> 00:39:07,712
Water hose, clear.

781
00:39:12,018 --> 00:39:14,054
No extra bolt.

782
00:39:14,055 --> 00:39:16,388
Dandy.

783
00:39:16,390 --> 00:39:18,191
Check the final protective line.

784
00:39:18,192 --> 00:39:19,792
Every time we relieve those guys,

785
00:39:19,793 --> 00:39:22,296
we have to have a traverse
and search exercise.

786
00:39:22,297 --> 00:39:23,664
Check the ready boxes, Al.

787
00:39:23,665 --> 00:39:24,998
Huh, not on.

788
00:39:24,999 --> 00:39:28,199
What's the lay
of the base of that stunted tree?

789
00:39:32,106 --> 00:39:34,373
That's 400 left...

790
00:39:34,374 --> 00:39:36,542
up 10.

791
00:39:36,543 --> 00:39:39,580
What do you make
that brush across the river?

792
00:39:39,581 --> 00:39:40,114
Which one?

793
00:39:40,115 --> 00:39:43,382
Right there, right in front
of that busted coconut pod.

794
00:39:44,086 --> 00:39:45,052
The base point?
Yeah, yeah.

795
00:39:45,053 --> 00:39:48,021
Come on, come on,
the light's failing.

796
00:39:49,757 --> 00:39:51,425
Left 920...

797
00:39:51,426 --> 00:39:53,661
come on, come on...

798
00:39:53,662 --> 00:39:56,097
down 6 mils.

799
00:39:57,133 --> 00:40:00,467
Why don't those guys
learn how to make up a range card?

800
00:40:00,603 --> 00:40:01,437
Hey, Lee.

801
00:40:01,438 --> 00:40:03,339
Here's a belt with 1 in 3.

802
00:40:03,340 --> 00:40:03,771
Stow it.

803
00:40:03,772 --> 00:40:06,273
How many boxes you got
belt 1 and 5?

804
00:40:06,274 --> 00:40:08,542
22.

805
00:40:16,352 --> 00:40:19,121
Here, you guys. Hot potatoes.

806
00:42:04,298 --> 00:42:06,132
Ha ha!

807
00:42:06,133 --> 00:42:07,468
How do you like that?

808
00:42:07,469 --> 00:42:10,002
Scared by a crab.

809
00:42:10,571 --> 00:42:12,706
Ha!

810
00:42:13,607 --> 00:42:15,075
Sand crab.

811
00:42:18,347 --> 00:42:19,747
Doesn't this hole smell bad enough

812
00:42:19,748 --> 00:42:21,382
without you cracking a crab in it?

813
00:42:21,383 --> 00:42:22,250
What do you expect me to do?

814
00:42:22,251 --> 00:42:23,685
Pack it in ice and ship it home?

815
00:42:23,686 --> 00:42:25,420
When you two joes quit
discussing seafood,

816
00:42:25,421 --> 00:42:28,921
there's a small matter
of a couple million Nips across the river,

817
00:42:29,090 --> 00:42:30,090
more or less.

818
00:42:30,091 --> 00:42:32,227
Peeyoo. This place stinks.

819
00:42:32,228 --> 00:42:33,094
I'm gonna get some air.

820
00:42:33,095 --> 00:42:35,963
Better put that back before morning.

821
00:42:37,165 --> 00:42:40,134
It'll be back. It'll be back.

822
00:42:42,238 --> 00:42:45,640
When they come, I figure
they'll cross the river at the sand bar.

823
00:42:45,641 --> 00:42:46,775
It's darkest there.

824
00:42:46,776 --> 00:42:49,410
Don't fire until then.

825
00:42:49,645 --> 00:42:51,613
Move the machine guns
up the river,

826
00:42:51,614 --> 00:42:53,148
the whole battalion's dug in.

827
00:42:53,149 --> 00:42:56,351
Hold your fire till
Diamond's outfit opens up.

828
00:42:57,087 --> 00:42:58,454
Once the Nips spot us,

829
00:42:58,455 --> 00:43:00,323
boom, the mortars begin.

830
00:43:00,324 --> 00:43:02,626
Jawohl.

831
00:43:02,627 --> 00:43:05,794
You're gonna speak
your piece tonight, baby.

832
00:43:06,196 --> 00:43:07,696
Jawohl...

833
00:43:07,697 --> 00:43:10,299
chop their heads off.

834
00:43:12,003 --> 00:43:13,202
Al can tell you.

835
00:43:13,203 --> 00:43:16,005
He saw me fight
in Philly once.

836
00:43:23,113 --> 00:43:24,314
Maybe they went home.

837
00:43:24,315 --> 00:43:26,350
No, no.
This is their chance.

838
00:43:26,351 --> 00:43:28,519
They've been getting
reinforcements.

839
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,120
We haven't.

840
00:43:30,121 --> 00:43:32,323
It'll come sooner or later.

841
00:43:32,324 --> 00:43:33,424
I'll take sooner.

842
00:43:33,425 --> 00:43:35,960
I'll take later.

843
00:43:38,064 --> 00:43:40,331
Warm night.

844
00:43:40,332 --> 00:43:43,300
Jawohl.
I'm thirsty.

845
00:43:48,341 --> 00:43:51,108
I'm gonna kiss my shamrock.

846
00:43:53,847 --> 00:43:56,280
Just for luck.

847
00:43:59,085 --> 00:44:01,620
Maybe a ship'll come in tomorrow

848
00:44:01,621 --> 00:44:03,288
with some mail on it.

849
00:44:03,289 --> 00:44:06,058
Why is it that everything good

850
00:44:06,093 --> 00:44:08,894
is always gonna happen tomorrow?

851
00:44:11,231 --> 00:44:13,165
Nah, nothing will happen tonight.

852
00:44:13,166 --> 00:44:15,700
I'm gonna flop.

853
00:44:33,787 --> 00:44:36,922
Tonight you die. Tonight you die.

854
00:44:43,598 --> 00:44:45,233
Can you see them?

855
00:44:45,234 --> 00:44:46,200
Can you see any of them?

856
00:44:46,201 --> 00:44:48,869
No. But they're there.

857
00:45:07,089 --> 00:45:10,257
That's their cheerleader
working up their nerve.

858
00:45:10,726 --> 00:45:13,761
The shambos are getting
crocked again tonight.

859
00:45:14,496 --> 00:45:17,132
Their version of Chloe.

860
00:45:18,101 --> 00:45:21,136
Sounds like they're
all looking for Chloe.

861
00:45:22,739 --> 00:45:25,641
Chloe, they're all looking for you.

862
00:45:27,677 --> 00:45:30,645
And most of 'em are gonna find you.

863
00:45:33,717 --> 00:45:34,917
It's starting. It's starting.

864
00:45:34,918 --> 00:45:37,619
We're getting it now.

865
00:45:39,356 --> 00:45:41,724
Keep down!

866
00:45:42,694 --> 00:45:44,795
No. Don't look till the last second.

867
00:45:44,796 --> 00:45:47,129
All they gotta do is wade
across to get us.

868
00:45:47,130 --> 00:45:47,830
Wish it were quicksand.

869
00:45:47,831 --> 00:45:51,000
They won't come from
where they're shooting.

870
00:45:52,403 --> 00:45:54,304
I think they're crossing!

871
00:45:57,242 --> 00:45:59,310
There on the sand bars,
Johnny!

872
00:45:59,311 --> 00:46:00,611
That's them!

873
00:46:00,612 --> 00:46:02,913
Wait.

874
00:46:04,216 --> 00:46:06,549
Wait.

875
00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:09,852
Fire at the wreckage.
Wait.

876
00:46:11,523 --> 00:46:13,991
Now! Now! Fire!

877
00:46:15,661 --> 00:46:18,596
The tree! The tree!
The best tree left!

878
00:46:35,015 --> 00:46:36,516
...traverse!

879
00:46:36,517 --> 00:46:37,350
Get up...

880
00:46:37,351 --> 00:46:39,984
knock 'em over, boys!

881
00:46:41,654 --> 00:46:44,256
One big bowling alley!

882
00:46:46,460 --> 00:46:49,194
In the gutter!
Kill 'em!

883
00:46:55,203 --> 00:46:56,102
Good boy. You stopped 'em.

884
00:46:56,103 --> 00:46:59,305
Don't waste your fire there.
That's pool sector.

885
00:47:02,309 --> 00:47:05,177
Hit 'em in the...
hit 'em!

886
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,186
Come on. Hurry up.
On the double!

887
00:47:12,187 --> 00:47:13,821
We're loading as fast as we can.

888
00:47:13,822 --> 00:47:16,156
Ok. Ok.

889
00:47:36,111 --> 00:47:38,312
There's some that crossed over.

890
00:47:38,313 --> 00:47:39,247
Where?

891
00:47:39,248 --> 00:47:40,549
On our side!

892
00:47:40,550 --> 00:47:43,084
Fire, Johnny, fire!

893
00:47:48,826 --> 00:47:49,892
Take over. Take over!

894
00:47:49,893 --> 00:47:52,626
I'll feed. I'll feed.

895
00:47:55,765 --> 00:47:58,334
Over the sand bank.
The sand bank!

896
00:47:58,335 --> 00:48:00,869
The sand bank!

897
00:48:01,271 --> 00:48:02,439
Come on, you dirty...

898
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,007
right now! Attaboy!

899
00:48:05,409 --> 00:48:08,009
I got him.
I got him!

900
00:48:10,815 --> 00:48:12,115
They got bill waters' gun.

901
00:48:12,116 --> 00:48:14,016
You'll have to watch
that side, too.

902
00:48:14,017 --> 00:48:16,219
I'll watch it.
I'll watch it.

903
00:48:16,220 --> 00:48:18,822
How's Johnny doing?

904
00:48:23,662 --> 00:48:25,028
He's dead.

905
00:48:25,029 --> 00:48:25,796
Right through the head.

906
00:48:25,797 --> 00:48:28,931
Oh, you yellow-bellied,
dirty, stinking, slimy pigs!

907
00:48:34,173 --> 00:48:36,841
The best guy in the world.

908
00:48:38,344 --> 00:48:38,809
Al!

909
00:48:38,810 --> 00:48:40,645
Watch it! Don't get trigger-happy.

910
00:48:40,646 --> 00:48:43,214
Watch it! Watch it!

911
00:49:15,149 --> 00:49:16,649
You hit?

912
00:49:16,650 --> 00:49:18,917
No.

913
00:49:19,753 --> 00:49:22,054
They got the water jacket.

914
00:49:22,055 --> 00:49:23,556
We're gonna get a stoppage.

915
00:49:27,361 --> 00:49:29,196
Where's that skivvy who was yelling?

916
00:49:29,197 --> 00:49:29,763
Never mind him!

917
00:49:29,764 --> 00:49:31,799
Find that stinking crumb for me!

918
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,233
Forget him. Keep watching.

919
00:49:33,234 --> 00:49:35,868
They'll be coming...

920
00:49:36,337 --> 00:49:37,038
Lee!

921
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:39,540
Push me out of your way.

922
00:49:39,541 --> 00:49:40,540
Where you hit?

923
00:49:40,541 --> 00:49:41,742
Arm. Shoulder.

924
00:49:41,743 --> 00:49:44,376
Get me out of your way.

925
00:49:46,081 --> 00:49:47,548
Get back, Al. Watch 'em.

926
00:49:58,260 --> 00:50:01,329
I'll give you blood poison,
you ringtails!

927
00:50:02,130 --> 00:50:03,798
Al, don't let 'em...

928
00:50:07,770 --> 00:50:10,805
You die!
Tonight, you die!

929
00:50:12,208 --> 00:50:14,409
Tonight you die.

930
00:50:14,410 --> 00:50:16,579
Watch him.
Watch him, Al.

931
00:50:16,580 --> 00:50:19,214
We come, you die.

932
00:50:19,215 --> 00:50:20,082
We come...

933
00:50:20,083 --> 00:50:22,718
Eat dirt, Tojo!
Eat dirt!

934
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,653
I'll shut you up.
I'll find you.

935
00:50:35,732 --> 00:50:38,233
Short bursts, Al.

936
00:50:38,668 --> 00:50:39,502
No stoppage.

937
00:50:39,503 --> 00:50:42,705
We'll hold 'em, Lee.
We'll hold 'em.

938
00:50:42,740 --> 00:50:45,141
Good ol' gun.

939
00:50:45,142 --> 00:50:47,978
Don't jam on me, sweetheart.

940
00:50:51,349 --> 00:50:51,882
You suckers.

941
00:50:51,883 --> 00:50:54,650
You think I don't see you.

942
00:51:03,361 --> 00:51:05,563
That got you rattled,
didn't it?

943
00:51:05,564 --> 00:51:08,532
Come on. Come on.
Just try to get through.

944
00:51:18,511 --> 00:51:19,611
Come on, suckers!

945
00:51:19,612 --> 00:51:22,514
Thought you wanted
to have us in fear.

946
00:51:35,763 --> 00:51:38,296
I'm still here.

947
00:51:39,166 --> 00:51:40,599
I'm all staked out.

948
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,635
Staying here right till
the end of the world.

949
00:51:55,883 --> 00:51:58,417
Lee, you hurt bad?

950
00:52:00,389 --> 00:52:02,557
Stick it out, Lee.

951
00:52:02,558 --> 00:52:04,524
Get light soon.

952
00:52:04,525 --> 00:52:07,060
We're holding.

953
00:52:07,796 --> 00:52:10,330
Tonight you die.

954
00:52:10,331 --> 00:52:12,600
Tonight you die.

955
00:52:12,601 --> 00:52:14,334
Just give me...

956
00:52:14,904 --> 00:52:17,205
Why can't I shut you up?

957
00:52:17,206 --> 00:52:20,341
Why can't I shut you up?

958
00:52:21,609 --> 00:52:25,246
Tonight you die.

959
00:52:25,247 --> 00:52:28,048
You ain't coming so fast now.

960
00:52:28,117 --> 00:52:28,816
What's the matter?

961
00:52:28,817 --> 00:52:31,686
You don't like
what you're getting, do you?

962
00:52:31,687 --> 00:52:34,655
Come on. There's nobody in your way.

963
00:52:35,725 --> 00:52:38,460
Just a couple of marines.

964
00:52:38,896 --> 00:52:41,563
Come on.
I'll take you.

965
00:52:41,564 --> 00:52:44,297
One at a time or in bunches.

966
00:52:45,568 --> 00:52:46,636
Lee!

967
00:52:52,442 --> 00:52:54,777
Al. Al.

968
00:52:58,448 --> 00:53:00,582
My face.

969
00:53:00,583 --> 00:53:03,119
I... I can't see.

970
00:53:03,687 --> 00:53:05,221
My hands.

971
00:53:05,222 --> 00:53:06,822
I can't see!

972
00:53:11,329 --> 00:53:14,297
Lee: Don't do it, Al.
Don't do it.

973
00:53:19,504 --> 00:53:22,038
Don't do it, Al.

974
00:53:22,073 --> 00:53:24,608
We'll get help soon.

975
00:53:24,609 --> 00:53:27,243
Don't shoot yourself.

976
00:53:27,780 --> 00:53:30,213
Shoot myself?

977
00:53:30,515 --> 00:53:31,783
Just...

978
00:53:31,784 --> 00:53:34,018
just tell me where they are, Lee.

979
00:53:34,019 --> 00:53:36,587
Tell me where they're coming from.

980
00:53:36,588 --> 00:53:38,389
Show me where they are.

981
00:53:38,390 --> 00:53:39,590
I'll shoot 'em.

982
00:53:39,591 --> 00:53:41,359
Tell me where they are, Lee.

983
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,395
Tell me where they're coming from.

984
00:53:43,396 --> 00:53:46,064
Show me where they are.

985
00:53:48,501 --> 00:53:51,835
I didn't hear from Al for a long time.

986
00:53:52,137 --> 00:53:55,205
Philadelphia seemed
a long ways from the war,

987
00:53:55,408 --> 00:53:58,176
but we thought of Al every day.

988
00:54:00,180 --> 00:54:03,181
Ruth Hartley, telephone.

989
00:54:07,321 --> 00:54:08,387
Hello?

990
00:54:08,388 --> 00:54:09,488
Oh, Ruth?

991
00:54:09,489 --> 00:54:10,288
Oh, yes, uncle Ralph.

992
00:54:10,289 --> 00:54:13,692
There's a letter here
from the naval hospital in San Diego.

993
00:54:14,261 --> 00:54:15,695
I opened it.

994
00:54:15,696 --> 00:54:16,329
Yes?

995
00:54:16,330 --> 00:54:18,431
Yeah, it says Al is there and ok.

996
00:54:18,432 --> 00:54:21,400
Oh, thank God,
uncle Ralph. He's safe.

997
00:54:21,503 --> 00:54:23,470
He can't write right away,

998
00:54:23,471 --> 00:54:26,239
but he wants you to write him.

999
00:54:26,341 --> 00:54:27,274
He sends lots of love.

1000
00:54:27,275 --> 00:54:30,576
He says to address reply
in care of Miss Virginia Pfeiffer.

1001
00:54:32,347 --> 00:54:34,880
Virginia Pfeiffer...

1002
00:54:35,349 --> 00:54:37,719
American Red Cross...

1003
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:40,419
Naval Hospital, San Diego.

1004
00:54:46,661 --> 00:54:49,496
And as far as the
red cross workers are concerned,

1005
00:54:49,497 --> 00:54:52,467
why, they're ok,
like the one who brings me a letter.

1006
00:54:52,468 --> 00:54:55,103
As for me,
I'll take a girl named Ruth every time.

1007
00:54:55,104 --> 00:54:57,139
You know, Miss Pfeiffer,
once out there,

1008
00:54:57,140 --> 00:54:58,640
Ruthie mailed me a curl of her hair,

1009
00:54:58,641 --> 00:55:01,543
and when I opened the envelope,
this curl fell out.

1010
00:55:01,544 --> 00:55:03,011
The guys ribbed
the daylights out of me.

1011
00:55:03,012 --> 00:55:06,546
From then on, I always used to take
her letters away somewhere to read.

1012
00:55:06,749 --> 00:55:09,318
You never know what was
gonna pop out of them.

1013
00:55:09,319 --> 00:55:10,386
Now, where was I, Miss Pfeiffer?

1014
00:55:10,387 --> 00:55:12,488
"Well, I'll take a girl
named Ruth every time"

1015
00:55:12,489 --> 00:55:14,590
yeah, well, um,
I guess that's all.

1016
00:55:14,591 --> 00:55:17,425
Oh, come on, Al.
Give a little bit.

1017
00:55:18,095 --> 00:55:19,696
Think how many letters
she's written you.

1018
00:55:19,697 --> 00:55:22,030
Think how she wants
to come to you.

1019
00:55:22,031 --> 00:55:23,298
Well, what do I say?

1020
00:55:23,299 --> 00:55:25,467
Well, you want to tell
her about your gang?

1021
00:55:25,468 --> 00:55:28,837
Oh, yeah, sure. We got a great gang
of gyrenes here, Ruthie.

1022
00:55:29,706 --> 00:55:31,274
A lot of them from the canal.

1023
00:55:31,275 --> 00:55:34,077
Lee Diamond,
who was with me at Kebabian.

1024
00:55:34,078 --> 00:55:36,613
Um... where's that ashtray, please?

1025
00:55:36,614 --> 00:55:38,415
On the desk, by your hand.

1026
00:55:38,416 --> 00:55:39,549
Your right hand, Al.

1027
00:55:39,550 --> 00:55:41,251
Oh, thanks.

1028
00:55:41,252 --> 00:55:44,653
Um, "the Guadalcanal Gophers
Knitting Society" we call ourselves.

1029
00:55:46,023 --> 00:55:48,025
More grab...
excuse me. Heh heh.

1030
00:55:48,026 --> 00:55:50,795
More horsin' around
than I've seen in a month of Sundays.

1031
00:55:50,796 --> 00:55:53,798
Guess everybody's
sure glad they're alive.

1032
00:55:53,799 --> 00:55:55,767
Well, I guess that's all.

1033
00:55:55,768 --> 00:55:59,101
Um... isn't there
anything else you wanna tell her, Al?

1034
00:56:00,504 --> 00:56:02,206
Like what?

1035
00:56:02,207 --> 00:56:04,642
About your eyes.

1036
00:56:04,643 --> 00:56:05,343
No.

1037
00:56:05,344 --> 00:56:08,179
Well, she'll have to know sometime.

1038
00:56:08,180 --> 00:56:10,081
Look, after I've had my operation,

1039
00:56:10,082 --> 00:56:11,516
after I can see again,
then I'll tell her,

1040
00:56:11,517 --> 00:56:13,452
then it'll be a big laugh
for both of us, understand?

1041
00:56:13,453 --> 00:56:16,520
Al, the doctor doesn't
promise you'll see after this operation.

1042
00:56:16,521 --> 00:56:17,488
Maybe they're...

1043
00:56:17,489 --> 00:56:18,522
I know those doctors.

1044
00:56:18,523 --> 00:56:19,758
They never promise anything.

1045
00:56:19,759 --> 00:56:20,625
I remember the one onboard ship,

1046
00:56:20,626 --> 00:56:22,494
he kept telling me I'd lose my leg
because of that blood poisoning.

1047
00:56:22,495 --> 00:56:25,464
Didn't, did I? They're both here,
and they ain't cork.

1048
00:56:25,465 --> 00:56:28,933
And add this: Ruthie, I've been
saving the best part for the end.

1049
00:56:31,371 --> 00:56:35,039
You've been asking me why I haven't
been able to write to you myself.

1050
00:56:35,275 --> 00:56:38,042
Well, the reason is... my hands.

1051
00:56:39,545 --> 00:56:42,882
I... I caught some grenade fragments
in them like a dumb boot,

1052
00:56:43,351 --> 00:56:45,685
but any day now,
you'll be getting a letter

1053
00:56:45,686 --> 00:56:47,720
written by yours truly himself.

1054
00:56:47,721 --> 00:56:49,555
Al, this isn't any good!

1055
00:56:49,556 --> 00:56:51,524
You're just storing up
trouble for both of you.

1056
00:56:51,525 --> 00:56:54,827
Don't be a killjoy!
Here I am, sitting on top of the world.

1057
00:56:54,828 --> 00:56:56,061
Now, put this in.

1058
00:56:56,062 --> 00:56:57,230
Pretty soon, I'll be coming home,

1059
00:56:57,231 --> 00:56:59,367
walking right up to
the steps of your house.

1060
00:56:59,368 --> 00:57:02,135
And don't you worry
about my hands, baby,

1061
00:57:02,136 --> 00:57:04,104
because when I get them on you,

1062
00:57:04,105 --> 00:57:06,375
well, you'll know they're all right.

1063
00:57:06,376 --> 00:57:09,509
Gosh, sweetheart,
I can hardly wait to see you.

1064
00:57:10,745 --> 00:57:13,078
I, uh...

1065
00:57:13,114 --> 00:57:15,717
oh, say it, Al.
Just make-believe I'm a typewriter.

1066
00:57:15,718 --> 00:57:18,418
Don't be embarrassed.

1067
00:57:18,788 --> 00:57:19,453
I...

1068
00:57:19,454 --> 00:57:22,891
I can hardly wait to kiss you
for the first time, honey.

1069
00:57:23,059 --> 00:57:26,328
I never told you what I feel like
when you're in my arms,

1070
00:57:26,329 --> 00:57:28,529
looking up at me
with your eyes like...

1071
00:57:28,530 --> 00:57:31,865
like... with that kind of
funny, wonderful light in your eyes,

1072
00:57:32,868 --> 00:57:35,969
like you did
on the railroad station platform.

1073
00:57:39,343 --> 00:57:41,743
Say it, Al.

1074
00:57:41,845 --> 00:57:44,346
Lots of love,
your brown-eyed devil, Al.

1075
00:57:44,347 --> 00:57:47,749
She called me that once.
It's a kind of joke between us, see?

1076
00:57:48,752 --> 00:57:51,052
Sure.

1077
00:57:51,588 --> 00:57:54,691
Ain't that a nice face, though?
Ain't it? Take a look.

1078
00:57:54,692 --> 00:57:55,524
Oh, come on, Schmid.

1079
00:57:55,525 --> 00:57:56,726
I just looked at it
a little bit ago.

1080
00:57:56,727 --> 00:57:59,595
Now, don't rib me.
I only showed it to you once.

1081
00:57:59,596 --> 00:58:02,099
Yeah, it's a nice face.

1082
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:04,100
A guy could lean on a girl like that.

1083
00:58:04,101 --> 00:58:05,268
A marine don't lean on anyone.

1084
00:58:05,269 --> 00:58:06,336
If there's any leaning to be done,

1085
00:58:06,337 --> 00:58:08,637
now the female sex
is the weaker, isn't it?

1086
00:58:08,638 --> 00:58:11,408
Well, everybody leans
a little on somebody.

1087
00:58:11,409 --> 00:58:12,008
Nobody stands alone.

1088
00:58:12,009 --> 00:58:14,678
You just wait until tomorrow
after my operation,

1089
00:58:14,679 --> 00:58:15,379
I'm all fixed up.

1090
00:58:15,380 --> 00:58:17,615
I'll stand alone.
You just wait. You just watch me!

1091
00:58:17,616 --> 00:58:20,150
I'll ask permission to be there.

1092
00:58:20,151 --> 00:58:21,051
Well, you better be.

1093
00:58:21,052 --> 00:58:22,652
I wanna find out if
you're as good-looking

1094
00:58:22,653 --> 00:58:24,153
as your voice sounds like you are.

1095
00:58:24,154 --> 00:58:27,190
Oh, don't spoil me, Schmid.
Keep it tough.

1096
00:58:31,562 --> 00:58:32,396
Hi, Al.

1097
00:58:32,397 --> 00:58:32,998
Is that you, Lee?

1098
00:58:32,999 --> 00:58:34,632
Yeah, I've been waiting outside.
I'm next.

1099
00:58:34,633 --> 00:58:35,733
You better be careful of this guy.

1100
00:58:35,734 --> 00:58:37,469
He's a little short on the brain.

1101
00:58:37,470 --> 00:58:37,836
Yeah?

1102
00:58:37,837 --> 00:58:39,070
He got
3 machine gun bullets in the shoulder.

1103
00:58:39,071 --> 00:58:40,704
You'd think after the first one,
he'd have sense enough to duck.

1104
00:58:40,705 --> 00:58:44,108
At least I had sense enough
not to play catch with a Jap grenade.

1105
00:58:45,177 --> 00:58:47,512
Why don't you hang
a lantern on that thing?

1106
00:58:47,513 --> 00:58:50,216
Uh, did you buy
that present for my wife for me?

1107
00:58:50,217 --> 00:58:52,218
Yeah, I bought two
for you to choose from.

1108
00:58:52,219 --> 00:58:54,052
Hiya, Tom,
how's your malaria?

1109
00:58:54,053 --> 00:58:55,521
Wonderful.
It's that tall.

1110
00:58:55,522 --> 00:58:57,423
You'd never know it.

1111
00:58:57,424 --> 00:58:58,089
Ha ha.

1112
00:58:58,090 --> 00:59:01,092
Wither wouldst thou
love to be shoved, Alberto?

1113
00:59:01,093 --> 00:59:04,029
Oh, once around the hall,
Thomas. Ok.

1114
00:59:04,030 --> 00:59:06,198
Here we go gathering nuts in may

1115
00:59:06,199 --> 00:59:08,367
nuts in may, hay in may

1116
00:59:08,368 --> 00:59:10,602
here we go gathering...

1117
00:59:10,603 --> 00:59:13,372
Darken the room, please.

1118
00:59:32,694 --> 00:59:35,561
Hold the bandage,
will you, Schmid?

1119
00:59:35,996 --> 00:59:37,130
Guess we're ready, now.

1120
00:59:37,131 --> 00:59:38,231
Not too soon for me, sir!

1121
00:59:38,232 --> 00:59:39,232
I'm bustin' at the seams!

1122
00:59:39,233 --> 00:59:42,435
It's been the longest 3 weeks
of my whole life!

1123
00:59:46,575 --> 00:59:47,508
Now, look, Schmid.

1124
00:59:47,509 --> 00:59:50,811
Don't you expect
to see the minute the bandage is off.

1125
00:59:50,947 --> 00:59:53,181
I'm darkening your room... ok.

1126
00:59:53,182 --> 00:59:54,182
Ok, you told me that.

1127
00:59:54,183 --> 00:59:56,884
Just get it off, will you?

1128
00:59:57,286 --> 00:59:59,087
Now, I'm not making
any promises either.

1129
00:59:59,088 --> 01:00:00,222
You see, the healing process...

1130
01:00:00,223 --> 01:00:01,190
all right, all right.

1131
01:00:01,191 --> 01:00:03,958
Let's try it, please, sir!

1132
01:00:16,106 --> 01:00:19,040
The bandage is off now.
You can open up.

1133
01:00:37,061 --> 01:00:39,329
No!

1134
01:00:40,232 --> 01:00:41,398
Not a darn thing!

1135
01:00:41,399 --> 01:00:43,667
You told me it was dark in here.

1136
01:00:43,668 --> 01:00:45,401
How about that flashlight, sir?

1137
01:00:45,402 --> 01:00:46,336
You promised!

1138
01:00:46,337 --> 01:00:47,371
I will. Take it easy.

1139
01:00:47,372 --> 01:00:48,105
I'm taking it easy, sir.

1140
01:00:48,106 --> 01:00:50,040
Well, you don't expect me
to see with the blinds down.

1141
01:00:50,041 --> 01:00:51,942
You think I don't know
my eyes have been injured?

1142
01:00:51,943 --> 01:00:53,276
Why, I even expect
to be wearing glasses

1143
01:00:53,277 --> 01:00:53,944
the rest of my life.

1144
01:00:53,945 --> 01:00:56,947
"Four-eyes Schmid."
I don't mind, sir.

1145
01:00:57,415 --> 01:01:00,584
I don't mind
the glasses. Really, I don't.

1146
01:01:03,089 --> 01:01:05,222
I'm going to snap
the flashlight on behind my back

1147
01:01:05,223 --> 01:01:07,291
and then bring it around
towards your face.

1148
01:01:07,292 --> 01:01:09,560
First time
you see it, holler.

1149
01:01:09,561 --> 01:01:10,294
I'll holler.

1150
01:01:10,295 --> 01:01:12,597
I'll holler so loud
my girl will hear me in Philadelphia.

1151
01:01:12,598 --> 01:01:15,299
Ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.

1152
01:01:15,468 --> 01:01:17,235
I'm ready!
Turn it on, sir.

1153
01:01:17,236 --> 01:01:19,572
Even if it's only
a two-bit flashlight.

1154
01:01:19,573 --> 01:01:21,374
I wanna see stars
and angels and Ruth.

1155
01:01:21,375 --> 01:01:23,141
Give me something
to holler about, please!

1156
01:01:23,142 --> 01:01:24,543
Come on, this is one time

1157
01:01:24,544 --> 01:01:25,943
I wanna get hit right
smack between the eyes,

1158
01:01:25,944 --> 01:01:28,381
come on, doctor.
Let's see the light.

1159
01:01:28,382 --> 01:01:30,215
Bring it closer.

1160
01:01:30,216 --> 01:01:31,050
See anything?

1161
01:01:31,051 --> 01:01:32,985
Yeah, like a locomotive headlight.

1162
01:01:32,986 --> 01:01:35,854
Way off in the fog.
Bring it closer!

1163
01:01:36,523 --> 01:01:37,624
Closer!

1164
01:01:37,625 --> 01:01:40,091
Closer, please!

1165
01:01:48,903 --> 01:01:52,072
I'm sorry, Schmid.
The light was put on your eyes.

1166
01:01:53,708 --> 01:01:56,009
Close.

1167
01:02:01,183 --> 01:02:03,849
No. I can't be blind...

1168
01:02:06,121 --> 01:02:08,255
not my whole life!

1169
01:02:08,256 --> 01:02:10,324
Look, Schmid...

1170
01:02:10,325 --> 01:02:12,826
please... please...

1171
01:02:13,061 --> 01:02:15,030
you medicine fellows,
you know.

1172
01:02:15,031 --> 01:02:17,064
You're educated, you're smart.

1173
01:02:17,065 --> 01:02:19,066
You got ways of fixing guys up.

1174
01:02:19,067 --> 01:02:21,535
I tried my best.
I fought.

1175
01:02:21,536 --> 01:02:23,438
I'm not asking for so much!

1176
01:02:23,439 --> 01:02:26,208
Schmid, this examination isn't final.

1177
01:02:26,209 --> 01:02:28,476
I told you yesterday it wouldn't be.

1178
01:02:28,477 --> 01:02:30,679
When can we try again, sir?

1179
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:31,380
Tomorrow? Next week?

1180
01:02:31,381 --> 01:02:34,449
You're still suffering the effects
of eye concussion, Schmid.

1181
01:02:34,450 --> 01:02:37,686
There's still pieces
of grenade that have to work themselves out.

1182
01:02:37,687 --> 01:02:40,955
You'll probably need
another operation after a while.

1183
01:02:40,957 --> 01:02:41,957
When?

1184
01:02:41,958 --> 01:02:44,226
We'll have to wait 6 months, a year.

1185
01:02:44,227 --> 01:02:47,463
Even then, there's no assurance
you'll ever see.

1186
01:02:49,366 --> 01:02:51,067
6 months?

1187
01:02:51,068 --> 01:02:54,169
What are my chances, sir?
Give it to me straight.

1188
01:02:58,175 --> 01:03:01,043
Miss Shelby,
bring me a card, please.

1189
01:03:04,082 --> 01:03:07,316
I have a card here
I want you to take with you, Schmid.

1190
01:03:11,522 --> 01:03:14,690
We have people
right here now who will teach you.

1191
01:03:15,459 --> 01:03:18,094
This is for blind people!

1192
01:03:18,096 --> 01:03:20,930
I don't want any of this stuff!

1193
01:03:20,999 --> 01:03:23,200
I want to stand on my own!

1194
01:03:23,201 --> 01:03:26,036
I don't want any of this stuff!

1195
01:03:37,917 --> 01:03:41,485
Schmid... right now, I'm thinking
of someone, a doctor friend of mine.

1196
01:03:43,790 --> 01:03:45,690
We went to school together.

1197
01:03:45,691 --> 01:03:48,026
He was blind from the time
he was 10 years old,

1198
01:03:48,027 --> 01:03:49,261
but that didn't stop him.

1199
01:03:49,262 --> 01:03:51,930
He's married and has two kids.

1200
01:03:51,931 --> 01:03:54,965
He's a fine psychiatrist
and a happy man.

1201
01:03:57,003 --> 01:03:59,805
Are you listening to me, Schmid?

1202
01:04:03,676 --> 01:04:05,578
I'm not saying
it'll be easy for you,

1203
01:04:05,579 --> 01:04:08,580
and these first few months
are the toughest.

1204
01:04:08,615 --> 01:04:11,416
People get the wrong idea
about blindness.

1205
01:04:11,417 --> 01:04:13,486
A blind man isn't helpless;

1206
01:04:13,487 --> 01:04:16,789
he just has to do some things
differently from the rest of us.

1207
01:04:19,227 --> 01:04:22,027
Are you listening
to me, Schmid?

1208
01:04:24,098 --> 01:04:26,931
Why don't God strike me dead?

1209
01:04:38,113 --> 01:04:39,146
We back at the warden?

1210
01:04:39,147 --> 01:04:39,780
A couple more steps.

1211
01:04:39,781 --> 01:04:42,715
I'll take it
from here. All right.

1212
01:04:51,293 --> 01:04:53,295
Hi, Al!
Hiya, gophers!

1213
01:04:53,296 --> 01:04:56,031
I'm shoving off.
Good luck.

1214
01:04:56,032 --> 01:04:58,366
Now, listen, Tommy,
let me get the picture straight.

1215
01:04:58,367 --> 01:05:01,936
You mean to tell me that she tricked
you into going up to her apartment?

1216
01:05:02,772 --> 01:05:03,571
Sure, I was trapped!

1217
01:05:03,572 --> 01:05:06,874
She had a beautiful
two-room joint overlooking Los Angeles.

1218
01:05:08,478 --> 01:05:10,380
So I go up there with her,

1219
01:05:10,381 --> 01:05:12,147
and she pours me a nice, tall drink.

1220
01:05:12,148 --> 01:05:14,417
Then we sit down on the sofa.

1221
01:05:14,418 --> 01:05:15,285
What happened then?

1222
01:05:15,286 --> 01:05:16,386
Take it easy, I'll tell you.

1223
01:05:16,387 --> 01:05:19,888
Well, we're sitting on the sofa,
see, and I got my arm around her.

1224
01:05:20,089 --> 01:05:22,190
Everything's
getting cozy, see?

1225
01:05:22,191 --> 01:05:24,394
Just as I'm about
to kiss her,

1226
01:05:24,395 --> 01:05:25,695
all the lights
go out.

1227
01:05:25,696 --> 01:05:28,097
Killed all
the conversation.

1228
01:05:28,098 --> 01:05:29,032
Well, what'd you do?

1229
01:05:29,033 --> 01:05:31,168
I was in luck.
I had my flashlight with me.

1230
01:05:31,169 --> 01:05:31,803
Did you light it?

1231
01:05:31,804 --> 01:05:32,669
No, she wouldn't
let me!

1232
01:05:32,670 --> 01:05:34,804
She told me the noise
would wake up her father.

1233
01:05:36,073 --> 01:05:38,174
Tommy: Hey, sarge,
where you going?

1234
01:05:38,175 --> 01:05:40,177
I got my first
3-day liberty, Tommy.

1235
01:05:40,178 --> 01:05:41,378
I'm going to
Los Angeles.

1236
01:05:41,379 --> 01:05:42,712
You got a date?
No.

1237
01:05:42,713 --> 01:05:45,081
You call this number
when you get there.

1238
01:05:45,082 --> 01:05:45,916
I don't like
blind dates.

1239
01:05:45,917 --> 01:05:48,719
She'll be sober
when you get there. Give her a ring.

1240
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:49,887
What's she like?

1241
01:05:49,888 --> 01:05:51,021
Out of the world.

1242
01:05:51,022 --> 01:05:52,088
Out of this world, huh?

1243
01:05:52,089 --> 01:05:53,557
Well, Los Angeles
city limits,

1244
01:05:53,558 --> 01:05:55,059
how much farther out
can you get?

1245
01:05:55,060 --> 01:05:56,594
What's she look like,
an umbrella?

1246
01:05:56,595 --> 01:05:59,463
Are you kidding?
She's a beauty!

1247
01:05:59,998 --> 01:06:01,531
Big brown eyes
like saucers.

1248
01:06:01,532 --> 01:06:05,169
And when she smiles,
she flashes the most beautiful set of teeth you ever saw.

1249
01:06:05,939 --> 01:06:09,340
And what a build!
This girl has got a figure out of the world!

1250
01:06:10,175 --> 01:06:11,276
When you see
this girl's figure...

1251
01:06:11,277 --> 01:06:13,445
now, I've seen a lot
of figures, brother,

1252
01:06:13,446 --> 01:06:14,947
and I know
what I'm talking about.

1253
01:06:14,948 --> 01:06:15,613
She's got the most...

1254
01:06:15,614 --> 01:06:18,016
wait a minute.
I'll get my hat. I'll go with you.

1255
01:06:18,017 --> 01:06:20,551
Where's my hat?

1256
01:06:27,362 --> 01:06:28,560
Al, this is Lee.

1257
01:06:28,561 --> 01:06:31,796
I just heard
the bad news about... about the eye test.

1258
01:06:34,568 --> 01:06:37,603
Look, Al, I got an uncle
who's a doctor...

1259
01:06:39,439 --> 01:06:40,807
and he's no dope.

1260
01:06:40,808 --> 01:06:44,210
4 years city college,
Harvard med school grad, a real smart guy.

1261
01:06:46,079 --> 01:06:47,446
And sometimes
he's right,

1262
01:06:47,447 --> 01:06:49,716
and sometimes
he's wrong.

1263
01:06:49,717 --> 01:06:51,952
Like the time, Al,
that my aunt, his very own wife,

1264
01:06:51,953 --> 01:06:53,153
went to him,
and he says,

1265
01:06:53,154 --> 01:06:54,921
"Minnie, you're gonna have a baby."

1266
01:06:54,922 --> 01:06:56,656
I mean, this is his very own wife!

1267
01:06:56,657 --> 01:06:59,560
And she's overjoyed.
And he's happy.

1268
01:06:59,561 --> 01:07:00,594
And they call us
on the telephone,

1269
01:07:00,595 --> 01:07:03,497
and they tell us how
they always wanted to have a baby.

1270
01:07:03,498 --> 01:07:05,599
And we tell them
we think it's wonderful.

1271
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:06,734
You shoulda
been there, Al!

1272
01:07:06,735 --> 01:07:09,869
They were going
to name the baby Leroy, after me.

1273
01:07:10,539 --> 01:07:12,039
You know what, Al?

1274
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,975
The next morning,
the very next morning,

1275
01:07:15,344 --> 01:07:18,211
we find out it was
something she ate.

1276
01:07:20,182 --> 01:07:22,383
So you see, Al,
what do you got to worry about?

1277
01:07:22,384 --> 01:07:25,285
Doctors are human,
they make mistakes!

1278
01:07:25,788 --> 01:07:27,522
Thanks for coming, Lee.

1279
01:07:27,523 --> 01:07:30,324
I'll see you
in the morning.

1280
01:07:35,298 --> 01:07:37,632
Ok, Al.

1281
01:07:46,643 --> 01:07:49,010
Ruth!

1282
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,080
Ruth!

1283
01:07:55,386 --> 01:07:57,819
No, stop it!

1284
01:07:58,154 --> 01:08:00,588
No, stop it!

1285
01:08:01,158 --> 01:08:03,859
No, stop it!
No, stop it!

1286
01:08:04,728 --> 01:08:07,262
Stop it! Stop it!

1287
01:08:07,731 --> 01:08:10,034
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop it!

1288
01:08:10,035 --> 01:08:12,169
Where is he?
Where are they?

1289
01:08:12,170 --> 01:08:14,238
Find them for me.
Please find them.

1290
01:08:14,239 --> 01:08:17,273
Please... find them.
Please find them for me.

1291
01:08:18,042 --> 01:08:20,043
Please...

1292
01:08:20,044 --> 01:08:23,045
find them for me, Lee.
F-f-find them for me.

1293
01:08:28,353 --> 01:08:30,954
Find them... where are...

1294
01:08:32,392 --> 01:08:35,092
Why can't I shut you up!?

1295
01:08:44,537 --> 01:08:46,803
No!

1296
01:08:47,440 --> 01:08:49,841
Ruth! Ruth!

1297
01:09:25,180 --> 01:09:27,081
Ruth! Ruth!

1298
01:09:27,082 --> 01:09:29,582
Ruth! Ruth! Ruth!

1299
01:09:32,086 --> 01:09:34,620
Ruth. Ruth. Ruth...

1300
01:09:40,796 --> 01:09:43,632
where's that bench
you were talking about?

1301
01:09:43,633 --> 01:09:46,032
Right here.

1302
01:09:47,469 --> 01:09:50,303
I want to get this
over with quick.

1303
01:09:52,976 --> 01:09:54,476
Got your pencil?

1304
01:09:54,477 --> 01:09:56,544
Yes.

1305
01:09:56,545 --> 01:09:57,679
Dear Ruth...

1306
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,448
what harm would it do
to wait another week?

1307
01:09:59,449 --> 01:10:01,750
What good will it do?
I made up my mind last night.

1308
01:10:01,751 --> 01:10:04,252
Your mind's made up,
but what about giving Ruth

1309
01:10:04,253 --> 01:10:05,653
a chance to decide
for herself?

1310
01:10:05,654 --> 01:10:07,523
To decide what?
How to ruin her life?

1311
01:10:07,524 --> 01:10:10,558
Look, she's worked hard.
Me, the bigshot.

1312
01:10:11,495 --> 01:10:13,061
I was gonna
buy her things she never had,

1313
01:10:13,062 --> 01:10:15,398
I was gonna see that
she'd never have to work again.

1314
01:10:15,399 --> 01:10:17,367
What good
can I do her now? I can't get married.

1315
01:10:17,368 --> 01:10:19,769
I'll never be able
to earn enough money to keep her.

1316
01:10:19,770 --> 01:10:20,236
But, Al...

1317
01:10:20,237 --> 01:10:22,672
I won't have her being
a seeing-eye dog for me!

1318
01:10:22,673 --> 01:10:25,542
How do you know she'll
feel that way about it?

1319
01:10:25,543 --> 01:10:27,777
At least tell her the truth!
Find out what she wants!

1320
01:10:27,778 --> 01:10:30,580
Sure. Tell her the truth
so she'll pity me.

1321
01:10:30,581 --> 01:10:32,750
Nothing doing.
I'm leaving pity out of this.

1322
01:10:32,751 --> 01:10:35,751
Aren't you leaving
love out of it, too?

1323
01:10:35,987 --> 01:10:37,187
You don't seem to care
what you do to her.

1324
01:10:37,188 --> 01:10:39,556
She isn't going to stop
loving you, writing to you!

1325
01:10:39,557 --> 01:10:40,524
Send the letters
back, then!

1326
01:10:40,525 --> 01:10:42,226
Supposing she does have
a few bad days.

1327
01:10:42,227 --> 01:10:45,229
She's pretty.
She'll meet another guy.

1328
01:10:45,230 --> 01:10:47,332
She'll fall in love.

1329
01:10:47,333 --> 01:10:48,366
You gonna write
the letter for me

1330
01:10:48,367 --> 01:10:50,401
or do I have to ask
Lee Diamond to do it?

1331
01:10:50,402 --> 01:10:52,570
All right... ok.

1332
01:10:52,571 --> 01:10:54,506
Dear Ruth...

1333
01:10:54,507 --> 01:10:56,007
I know this is gonna
be a kind of surprise to hear,

1334
01:10:56,008 --> 01:10:57,242
but I'm going to give
it to you straight.

1335
01:10:57,243 --> 01:11:00,477
I'm not
coming back to Philly. Not now, not ever.

1336
01:11:02,915 --> 01:11:04,616
And as far as getting
married is concerned,

1337
01:11:04,617 --> 01:11:07,752
well, it just ain't up
my alley, that's all.

1338
01:11:08,453 --> 01:11:09,788
I hope you'll be
very happy,

1339
01:11:09,789 --> 01:11:12,957
and I hope you'll find
a new boyfriend real soon.

1340
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:15,860
Yours, Al Schmid.

1341
01:11:22,535 --> 01:11:24,869
Oh, Al.

1342
01:11:29,175 --> 01:11:32,011
Schmiddy, don't you get tired
eating in the supply room?

1343
01:11:32,012 --> 01:11:35,381
Why don't you eat
in the mess hall with the rest of the guys?

1344
01:11:35,382 --> 01:11:37,383
Why don't you learn
how to feed yourself?

1345
01:11:37,384 --> 01:11:39,652
It's easy, honest.

1346
01:11:39,653 --> 01:11:42,021
Coming up.

1347
01:11:42,090 --> 01:11:44,691
We put the food on the plate
according to the clock.

1348
01:11:44,692 --> 01:11:47,860
Like, potatoes at 12 o'clock,
vegetables at 3:00,

1349
01:11:48,662 --> 01:11:51,231
meat at 6 o'clock.

1350
01:11:51,599 --> 01:11:53,966
Coming up.

1351
01:11:54,035 --> 01:11:56,636
It's part of our job
to teach blind guys how to...

1352
01:11:56,637 --> 01:11:57,438
don't call me blind!

1353
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,473
I don't see so good yet,
that's all.

1354
01:11:59,474 --> 01:12:01,542
Don't you ever
call me blind again!

1355
01:12:01,543 --> 01:12:03,744
Ok, kid, ok!

1356
01:12:03,745 --> 01:12:04,945
Anyway, why don't...

1357
01:12:04,946 --> 01:12:05,713
mind your business.

1358
01:12:05,714 --> 01:12:07,616
Coming up.
I don't want any more.

1359
01:12:07,617 --> 01:12:10,249
You want dessert?
No.

1360
01:12:12,387 --> 01:12:13,588
Al, here you are!

1361
01:12:13,589 --> 01:12:16,591
Al, there's a long-distance
telephone call for you.

1362
01:12:16,592 --> 01:12:18,092
I'll take you.
From where?

1363
01:12:18,093 --> 01:12:20,027
It's from Ruth,
from Philadelphia.

1364
01:12:20,028 --> 01:12:20,695
I ain't here.

1365
01:12:20,696 --> 01:12:21,797
Well, she's probably
received your letter...

1366
01:12:21,798 --> 01:12:23,732
Don't you understand?
I can't talk to her.

1367
01:12:23,733 --> 01:12:26,434
Tell her to leave me alone!

1368
01:12:27,137 --> 01:12:29,104
All right, Al.

1369
01:12:32,075 --> 01:12:34,109
Can I steer you
anyplace, Schmiddy?

1370
01:12:34,110 --> 01:12:36,311
No.
Wanna hit the sack?

1371
01:12:36,312 --> 01:12:37,713
I can sleep anytime.

1372
01:12:37,714 --> 01:12:40,283
See with me,
it's always night time.

1373
01:12:40,284 --> 01:12:41,684
How about the recreation room?

1374
01:12:41,685 --> 01:12:43,653
We can get Jack Benny on the radio.

1375
01:12:43,654 --> 01:12:46,120
Ok.
Ready?

1376
01:12:49,125 --> 01:12:52,326
You know, that was
an old girlfriend of mine calling.

1377
01:12:52,497 --> 01:12:54,997
Her name was Ruth.

1378
01:13:00,137 --> 01:13:01,071
Yes, operator.

1379
01:13:01,072 --> 01:13:02,173
One moment, please.

1380
01:13:02,174 --> 01:13:05,274
A friend of the party's wants to
know if she can accept the call.

1381
01:13:05,275 --> 01:13:08,179
A Miss Virginia Pfeiffer
from the Red Cross.

1382
01:13:08,180 --> 01:13:11,080
Oh, yes, yes.
She's been writing.

1383
01:13:11,616 --> 01:13:13,384
Go ahead, San Diego.

1384
01:13:13,385 --> 01:13:15,851
Hello?
Hello?

1385
01:13:18,524 --> 01:13:19,290
Is this Ruth?

1386
01:13:19,291 --> 01:13:22,358
Yes, Miss Pfeiffer.
I got Al's last letter!

1387
01:13:23,227 --> 01:13:24,462
Understand this, Ruth...

1388
01:13:24,463 --> 01:13:25,963
he isn't breaking with you

1389
01:13:25,964 --> 01:13:27,598
because he doesn't love you.

1390
01:13:27,599 --> 01:13:29,434
Believe me, he does.

1391
01:13:29,435 --> 01:13:31,002
Well, then, why?

1392
01:13:31,003 --> 01:13:33,771
He just had a very bad shock.

1393
01:13:35,508 --> 01:13:37,308
What is it?

1394
01:13:37,309 --> 01:13:39,945
Al has completely lost
the sight of one eye

1395
01:13:39,946 --> 01:13:41,780
and may never regain
sight in the other.

1396
01:13:41,781 --> 01:13:44,049
That's why he's not calling.

1397
01:13:44,050 --> 01:13:46,518
He's afraid of becoming a burden.

1398
01:13:46,519 --> 01:13:49,087
Do you understand now?

1399
01:13:49,589 --> 01:13:51,990
Hello, Ruth?

1400
01:13:52,659 --> 01:13:55,260
Yes. Yes, I understand.

1401
01:13:55,262 --> 01:13:57,730
There's one thing
I'd better find out.

1402
01:13:57,731 --> 01:14:00,599
Uh, now, you can
think this over if you want to.

1403
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,635
It'll
make a difference in helping Al.

1404
01:14:03,637 --> 01:14:05,672
You still love him?
Do you want him?

1405
01:14:05,673 --> 01:14:07,574
I mean, as a husband.

1406
01:14:07,575 --> 01:14:09,509
Oh, yes!
Yes, I do!

1407
01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:12,079
Remember, he may be totally blind

1408
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:13,447
for the rest of his life.

1409
01:14:13,448 --> 01:14:15,581
What does that matter?

1410
01:14:15,582 --> 01:14:17,316
Do you want to think it over?

1411
01:14:17,317 --> 01:14:17,850
Think what over?

1412
01:14:17,851 --> 01:14:21,055
I didn't fall in love with his eyes
nor the color of his hair.

1413
01:14:21,056 --> 01:14:22,456
I fell in love with him, with Al!

1414
01:14:22,457 --> 01:14:26,059
That hasn't changed just because
something's happened to his eyes.

1415
01:14:27,563 --> 01:14:30,630
You're the kind of girl
I thought you were.

1416
01:14:31,166 --> 01:14:32,300
Now, listen carefully, Ruth.

1417
01:14:32,301 --> 01:14:35,668
I know you'll want
to come out here, but don't come.

1418
01:14:35,704 --> 01:14:38,105
Al seems to go off the deep end

1419
01:14:38,106 --> 01:14:40,207
every time I mention your name.

1420
01:14:40,208 --> 01:14:41,409
Just keep writing to him

1421
01:14:41,410 --> 01:14:44,012
and try not to mind
if he doesn't answer.

1422
01:14:44,013 --> 01:14:46,782
Just be patient and keep loving him.

1423
01:14:46,783 --> 01:14:48,650
We have a pretty big job ahead,

1424
01:14:48,651 --> 01:14:50,251
but we can do it.

1425
01:14:50,252 --> 01:14:53,020
My part first, and then yours.

1426
01:14:54,423 --> 01:14:55,656
Understand?

1427
01:14:55,657 --> 01:14:56,390
I do understand.

1428
01:14:56,391 --> 01:14:59,161
And I'm so grateful
to you for everything.

1429
01:14:59,162 --> 01:15:00,830
Remember that he loves you

1430
01:15:00,831 --> 01:15:03,065
and that he needs you terribly.

1431
01:15:03,066 --> 01:15:05,200
So if you'll keep loving him...

1432
01:15:05,201 --> 01:15:07,437
oh, I will. Always.

1433
01:15:07,438 --> 01:15:09,438
Good-bye, then.

1434
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:10,972
I guess Al still doesn't know

1435
01:15:10,973 --> 01:15:13,175
what a wonderful girl he has.

1436
01:15:13,176 --> 01:15:16,445
Bye.

1437
01:15:20,484 --> 01:15:23,453
Lee: Hey, Angelo,
how do you like that?

1438
01:15:24,255 --> 01:15:25,455
Hey, guys.

1439
01:15:25,456 --> 01:15:25,922
Take a look.

1440
01:15:25,923 --> 01:15:27,190
No more cast,
isn't it wonderful, huh?

1441
01:15:27,191 --> 01:15:30,327
How do you like it?
Isn't that marvelous? Marvelous.

1442
01:15:30,328 --> 01:15:31,762
I want you to meet my friend.

1443
01:15:31,763 --> 01:15:33,130
Glad to see ya.

1444
01:15:33,131 --> 01:15:33,630
Hey, guys!

1445
01:15:33,631 --> 01:15:36,465
The cast...
it's off, look.

1446
01:15:37,368 --> 01:15:38,636
Let's barbecue it.

1447
01:15:38,637 --> 01:15:40,471
Ha ha.
Would you care to say a few words

1448
01:15:40,472 --> 01:15:42,040
to the radio audience?
Sure.

1449
01:15:42,041 --> 01:15:44,408
Hello, Mom?
It was a great fight.

1450
01:15:44,409 --> 01:15:46,277
Didn't lay a glove on me.

1451
01:15:46,278 --> 01:15:47,378
Ha ha.

1452
01:15:47,379 --> 01:15:49,647
You know what
I'm gonna do with this?

1453
01:15:49,648 --> 01:15:52,149
Don't say it.

1454
01:15:53,618 --> 01:15:54,986
Gonna have it mounted.

1455
01:15:54,987 --> 01:15:57,722
To decorate the homestead
in Flatbush,

1456
01:15:57,723 --> 01:16:00,058
directly over the stove.

1457
01:16:00,059 --> 01:16:02,461
How's the arm work?

1458
01:16:02,462 --> 01:16:03,295
Come again?

1459
01:16:03,296 --> 01:16:04,162
How does the arm work?

1460
01:16:04,163 --> 01:16:06,665
Great. Here,
give me one of them darts, I'll show you.

1461
01:16:06,666 --> 01:16:09,166
Tom, hold this.

1462
01:16:09,334 --> 01:16:10,202
Observe.

1463
01:16:10,203 --> 01:16:12,337
Spitball Diamond is now on the mound.

1464
01:16:12,338 --> 01:16:13,538
Let me out of here.

1465
01:16:13,539 --> 01:16:14,673
What are you, a coward?

1466
01:16:14,674 --> 01:16:17,509
Right down the alley.
Two fingers.

1467
01:16:22,648 --> 01:16:25,417
Hmm... almost a bull's-eye.

1468
01:16:25,586 --> 01:16:26,819
A bull's what?

1469
01:16:26,820 --> 01:16:28,188
Well, the wind was against me.

1470
01:16:28,189 --> 01:16:29,689
Would you like
to dance with a girlie

1471
01:16:29,690 --> 01:16:32,391
with a hole in her head?

1472
01:16:33,528 --> 01:16:34,428
Hi, Al!

1473
01:16:34,429 --> 01:16:35,228
Hi, gofers.

1474
01:16:35,229 --> 01:16:36,763
Hi, Al. Tommy.
Hi, hero.

1475
01:16:36,764 --> 01:16:39,265
Guy made
that crack gets his neck broken.

1476
01:16:39,266 --> 01:16:40,199
Ok, killer.

1477
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:41,300
Killer I don't mind.

1478
01:16:41,301 --> 01:16:42,669
It ain't pretty, but neither am I.

1479
01:16:42,670 --> 01:16:44,237
Whose turn is it next?

1480
01:16:44,238 --> 01:16:46,839
I'll take it, red.

1481
01:16:48,743 --> 01:16:51,745
In the evening, by the moonlight

1482
01:16:54,749 --> 01:16:57,750
you can hear those darkies singing

1483
01:17:01,423 --> 01:17:04,424
in the evening, by the moonlight...

1484
01:17:07,463 --> 01:17:10,632
any of you birds
hear talk about goin' home for Christmas?

1485
01:17:10,633 --> 01:17:12,434
Yeah. Wish I could believe it.

1486
01:17:12,435 --> 01:17:13,702
Wonder what kind of a Christmas

1487
01:17:13,703 --> 01:17:14,737
they have in California?

1488
01:17:14,738 --> 01:17:17,071
I hear they got no snow,
but they got variety.

1489
01:17:17,072 --> 01:17:19,339
One year, fog;
the next year, rain.

1490
01:17:19,340 --> 01:17:21,143
I heard everybody
who's fit goes home,

1491
01:17:21,144 --> 01:17:22,778
walking cases get a furlough.

1492
01:17:22,779 --> 01:17:23,746
That's the scuttlebutt.

1493
01:17:23,747 --> 01:17:25,480
Speak up, red.
Or write it down.

1494
01:17:25,481 --> 01:17:28,049
If I did write it down,
you couldn't read it.

1495
01:17:28,050 --> 01:17:28,985
You blind bat.

1496
01:17:28,986 --> 01:17:31,053
Ha ha. I've heard
of bedroom eyes.

1497
01:17:31,054 --> 01:17:33,455
Red here's got a bedroom voice.

1498
01:17:34,290 --> 01:17:36,725
Well, I guess I'll be stuck here.

1499
01:17:36,726 --> 01:17:37,493
Me, too.

1500
01:17:37,494 --> 01:17:38,961
You're a walking case, Al.

1501
01:17:38,962 --> 01:17:40,629
Yeah, except I got
no place to go, see?

1502
01:17:40,630 --> 01:17:42,198
Well, I know I'm going home.

1503
01:17:42,199 --> 01:17:44,334
The doc says for good.

1504
01:17:45,102 --> 01:17:46,336
I telephoned my wife last night

1505
01:17:46,337 --> 01:17:47,971
to give her the glad news.

1506
01:17:47,972 --> 01:17:48,938
When I told her I was comin' home,

1507
01:17:48,939 --> 01:17:51,440
she got all choked up, couldn't talk.

1508
01:17:51,441 --> 01:17:53,342
Just busted out cryin'.

1509
01:17:53,343 --> 01:17:54,511
Don't you hate it when a dame cries?

1510
01:17:54,512 --> 01:17:56,613
No, with me it's different.
I'll tell you why.

1511
01:17:56,614 --> 01:17:58,948
When a guy gets
married, like me and my girl did,

1512
01:17:58,949 --> 01:17:59,515
and goes overseas,

1513
01:17:59,516 --> 01:18:02,719
a lot of things can
happen by the time you get back.

1514
01:18:03,722 --> 01:18:06,523
The way she cried
told me a lot of things.

1515
01:18:06,524 --> 01:18:08,493
Told me how much
she wanted me back.

1516
01:18:08,494 --> 01:18:09,726
Sometimes, when a dame cries,

1517
01:18:09,727 --> 01:18:10,460
it makes you feel good.

1518
01:18:10,461 --> 01:18:13,663
You read in the paper
about a guy's wife runnin' out on him,

1519
01:18:13,664 --> 01:18:16,301
and right away,
you think it's gonna happen to you.

1520
01:18:16,302 --> 01:18:17,601
Lee: I figure it this way.

1521
01:18:17,602 --> 01:18:19,637
Any guy's wife
that would double-cross him

1522
01:18:19,638 --> 01:18:20,771
while he's in the service

1523
01:18:20,772 --> 01:18:22,340
will do it in peacetime,
sooner or later.

1524
01:18:22,341 --> 01:18:25,811
What's the first thing
you're gonna do when you get home, bill?

1525
01:18:25,812 --> 01:18:27,812
I think I'll spend
about 3 solid weeks

1526
01:18:27,813 --> 01:18:29,213
just saying hello to my wife.

1527
01:18:29,214 --> 01:18:31,983
What are you gonna do
after you get tired saying hello?

1528
01:18:31,984 --> 01:18:34,118
I got myself a nice
little street corner

1529
01:18:34,119 --> 01:18:35,721
all picked out for my business.

1530
01:18:35,722 --> 01:18:36,487
You lucky stiff.

1531
01:18:36,488 --> 01:18:39,457
Hi, Virginia.
Hi, Lee.

1532
01:18:40,493 --> 01:18:43,862
Join the gofer sewing circle.
We're cookin' up a storm.

1533
01:18:44,231 --> 01:18:45,964
Sure it's not private gab?

1534
01:18:45,965 --> 01:18:47,131
We got no secrets from you.

1535
01:18:47,132 --> 01:18:48,300
Irish has been telling us

1536
01:18:48,301 --> 01:18:49,434
about a business he's going into,

1537
01:18:49,435 --> 01:18:50,936
after he gets his discharge.

1538
01:18:50,937 --> 01:18:52,137
Yeah, on a corner.

1539
01:18:52,138 --> 01:18:53,138
Oh, if it's on a corner,

1540
01:18:53,139 --> 01:18:54,306
It must be a saloon or a bank.

1541
01:18:54,307 --> 01:18:55,108
Which is it, Irish?

1542
01:18:55,109 --> 01:18:56,042
You're not even close.

1543
01:18:56,043 --> 01:18:59,345
Twice in his life
my old man got his name in the papers.

1544
01:18:59,347 --> 01:19:00,580
The first time, in 1917.

1545
01:19:00,581 --> 01:19:03,216
He was the first
to enlist in Milwaukee.

1546
01:19:03,217 --> 01:19:05,318
The second time, in 1930.

1547
01:19:05,319 --> 01:19:08,420
He was the first vet
to sell unemployed apples.

1548
01:19:08,455 --> 01:19:11,492
Any of you guys
want a piece of my street corner?

1549
01:19:11,493 --> 01:19:13,761
I ain't bright, but I'm honest.

1550
01:19:13,762 --> 01:19:14,494
Count me in.

1551
01:19:14,495 --> 01:19:16,797
"Irish and Schmid,
apples and pencils."

1552
01:19:16,798 --> 01:19:17,631
We oughta do all right.

1553
01:19:17,632 --> 01:19:20,001
Aw, come on.
Climb out of your foxholes.

1554
01:19:20,002 --> 01:19:20,968
What's the matter, you guys think

1555
01:19:20,969 --> 01:19:23,370
nobody's learned
anything since 1930?

1556
01:19:23,371 --> 01:19:24,637
Think everybody's had their eyes shut

1557
01:19:24,638 --> 01:19:26,172
and their brains in cold storage?

1558
01:19:26,173 --> 01:19:29,076
I'll tell you guys something funny.

1559
01:19:29,378 --> 01:19:29,910
I'm scared.

1560
01:19:29,911 --> 01:19:32,580
I wasn't half as scared
on the 'canal.

1561
01:19:32,581 --> 01:19:34,181
If a man came along...
anybody...

1562
01:19:34,182 --> 01:19:36,585
and told me
I'd have a decent job the rest of my life,

1563
01:19:36,586 --> 01:19:39,619
I'd get down on my knees
and wash his feet.

1564
01:19:40,688 --> 01:19:42,222
Well, I'm not scared.

1565
01:19:42,223 --> 01:19:44,292
You talk like a guy
with dough in the bank.

1566
01:19:44,293 --> 01:19:45,727
You ask me what I want out of life.

1567
01:19:45,728 --> 01:19:48,929
Well, I'm not an ambitious guy...
30 bucks a week.

1568
01:19:48,964 --> 01:19:51,634
Enough to take
my girl out on a Saturday night,

1569
01:19:51,635 --> 01:19:54,803
a ball game on Sunday...
That's about all I ask.

1570
01:19:55,338 --> 01:19:57,871
Or is that too much?

1571
01:19:57,907 --> 01:19:59,374
You're a cinch.

1572
01:19:59,375 --> 01:20:00,309
Things are different now.

1573
01:20:00,310 --> 01:20:02,577
The whole country has its eyes open.

1574
01:20:02,578 --> 01:20:04,279
Won't be like 1930 again.

1575
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,147
That's pretty music,

1576
01:20:05,148 --> 01:20:06,549
but I don't understand the words.

1577
01:20:06,550 --> 01:20:08,717
What about
the G.I. Bill of Rights?

1578
01:20:08,718 --> 01:20:11,519
I'm going to college on that.

1579
01:20:12,389 --> 01:20:14,258
They guarantee your old job back,
Bill.

1580
01:20:14,259 --> 01:20:15,458
They guarantee your job, do they?

1581
01:20:15,459 --> 01:20:17,760
I wrote my old boss
to get my job back.

1582
01:20:17,761 --> 01:20:18,461
What did he write me?

1583
01:20:18,462 --> 01:20:19,462
Quote, I'll tell you
what he wrote.

1584
01:20:19,463 --> 01:20:22,165
"I'm in a new business,
and your old job just ain't."

1585
01:20:22,166 --> 01:20:24,367
There's nothing in the G.I.
Bill of Rights to cover that.

1586
01:20:24,368 --> 01:20:27,637
You can't get your job back
if it doesn't exist.

1587
01:20:28,372 --> 01:20:30,141
That's gotta be considered.
Considered?

1588
01:20:30,142 --> 01:20:31,676
Now I'll come out
and say what I'm thinking.

1589
01:20:31,677 --> 01:20:34,277
How about them considering
the silver plate in my head?

1590
01:20:34,278 --> 01:20:35,345
How long did we get to consider

1591
01:20:35,346 --> 01:20:37,313
when they said,
"hit the beach," at Guadalcanal?

1592
01:20:37,314 --> 01:20:38,515
They said, "go," and we went.

1593
01:20:38,516 --> 01:20:39,350
Well, that's ok.

1594
01:20:39,351 --> 01:20:40,985
Well, I want some considerin' now.

1595
01:20:40,986 --> 01:20:42,653
I got a wife.
I want to support her.

1596
01:20:42,654 --> 01:20:45,289
The doc says I can
never do heavy work again, ever.

1597
01:20:45,290 --> 01:20:46,291
Well, I wanna work.

1598
01:20:46,292 --> 01:20:48,759
My boss says,
"no job, nothing to come back to."

1599
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,061
How do I know anybody'll ever want me?

1600
01:20:51,062 --> 01:20:53,598
Yeah. Yeah, when I get
back to El Centro,

1601
01:20:53,599 --> 01:20:56,766
I'll probably find
some Mexican's got my job.

1602
01:20:57,503 --> 01:20:59,371
Quiet.

1603
01:20:59,372 --> 01:21:02,741
I'm sorry, Juan, you're a Mexican,
but you're different,

1604
01:21:02,742 --> 01:21:05,743
y-you're one of the guys
in "B" company.

1605
01:21:06,078 --> 01:21:08,913
Nah. I'm not different, Joe.

1606
01:21:09,316 --> 01:21:10,983
I'm just a Mexican,

1607
01:21:10,984 --> 01:21:13,918
like a lot of other Mexicans
who fought.

1608
01:21:19,994 --> 01:21:22,996
You dumb coot.
He's got more foxhole time

1609
01:21:22,997 --> 01:21:25,931
than you've got in the marine corps.

1610
01:21:26,300 --> 01:21:28,234
Can I put in my two cents?

1611
01:21:28,235 --> 01:21:31,036
You guys are all jumpy.
Nobody can blame you.

1612
01:21:31,037 --> 01:21:32,170
You're shut off here,

1613
01:21:32,171 --> 01:21:34,674
and sometimes it must seem
as if nobody cares.

1614
01:21:34,675 --> 01:21:35,742
Who does?

1615
01:21:35,743 --> 01:21:38,011
Well, people care, all the people.

1616
01:21:38,012 --> 01:21:39,513
Civilians aren't strange animals.

1617
01:21:39,514 --> 01:21:42,115
They're your own fathers
and mothers and wives,

1618
01:21:42,116 --> 01:21:43,417
your sweethearts, your friends,

1619
01:21:43,418 --> 01:21:44,519
and believe me, if they can help it,

1620
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,052
you're not going to be let down.

1621
01:21:46,053 --> 01:21:47,119
Aw, that's a dame's...

1622
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:48,689
I mean, a female's point of view.

1623
01:21:48,690 --> 01:21:51,124
So the G.I. Bill
sends some guys back to school.

1624
01:21:51,125 --> 01:21:52,960
Gets some other guys jobs.

1625
01:21:52,961 --> 01:21:53,760
Gets a guy started on a farm.

1626
01:21:53,761 --> 01:21:57,098
So maybe we'll even have prosperity
for two years after the war

1627
01:21:57,099 --> 01:21:58,499
while we catch up on things...

1628
01:21:58,500 --> 01:22:00,969
like making diaper pins
and autos,

1629
01:22:00,970 --> 01:22:03,204
things the poor civilians
did without.

1630
01:22:03,205 --> 01:22:06,207
But what happens after two years?
Answer me that.

1631
01:22:06,208 --> 01:22:07,675
A bonus march.
No, sir.

1632
01:22:07,676 --> 01:22:10,344
You guys think because you did
the front-line fighting

1633
01:22:10,345 --> 01:22:11,446
you can take a free ride
on the country

1634
01:22:11,447 --> 01:22:13,048
for the rest of your lives...
No, sir.

1635
01:22:13,049 --> 01:22:16,283
Look, there's no free candy
for anybody in this world.

1636
01:22:17,086 --> 01:22:20,054
I know what I fought for...
I fought for me.

1637
01:22:20,056 --> 01:22:22,023
For the right to live in U.S.A.

1638
01:22:22,024 --> 01:22:23,191
And when I get back
into civilian life,

1639
01:22:23,192 --> 01:22:24,726
if I don't like
the way things are going,

1640
01:22:24,727 --> 01:22:25,761
ok, it's my country.

1641
01:22:25,762 --> 01:22:27,462
I'll stand on my own two legs,
and I'll holler.

1642
01:22:27,463 --> 01:22:31,032
And if there's enough of us hollering,
we'll go places, check?

1643
01:22:31,301 --> 01:22:31,968
Check.

1644
01:22:31,969 --> 01:22:32,835
Listen to these two characters

1645
01:22:32,836 --> 01:22:35,004
checking each other off
like a couple of bookkeepers.

1646
01:22:35,005 --> 01:22:35,571
So what? We agree.

1647
01:22:35,572 --> 01:22:38,941
Only you ain't got
the books to check, that's what.

1648
01:22:41,711 --> 01:22:44,580
You ain't gonna write the piece.

1649
01:22:45,949 --> 01:22:47,250
You ain't gonna run the country.

1650
01:22:47,251 --> 01:22:50,786
You're just a couple of ex-heroes
sittin' around in a hospital.

1651
01:22:51,021 --> 01:22:51,888
I'm going to be a lawyer.

1652
01:22:51,889 --> 01:22:55,225
Who says, in 10 years from now,
I won't be a congressman?

1653
01:22:55,226 --> 01:22:56,960
I'm going into politics
with both feet.

1654
01:22:56,961 --> 01:22:57,927
And if I have anything
to say about it,

1655
01:22:57,928 --> 01:22:59,161
my kid isn't gonna
land on any beachhead.

1656
01:22:59,162 --> 01:23:02,633
And if any old windbag tries to sell
me the idea of shipping oil to Japan

1657
01:23:02,634 --> 01:23:06,103
or doing business with any new
Hitler, he'd better start ducking.

1658
01:23:06,104 --> 01:23:08,339
Ok, Junior. I'll check that.

1659
01:23:08,340 --> 01:23:11,142
And I'll put a little handwritin'
on the wall for you, too.

1660
01:23:11,143 --> 01:23:12,010
We don't want no apples.

1661
01:23:12,011 --> 01:23:14,145
And whoever's running
the country better read it too...

1662
01:23:14,146 --> 01:23:15,679
no apples, no bonus marches.

1663
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,781
I'll paste
that in your hat, congressman.

1664
01:23:19,151 --> 01:23:21,417
Ok.

1665
01:23:23,087 --> 01:23:25,790
Like they say in those
old revival meetings,

1666
01:23:25,791 --> 01:23:28,359
"hallelujah and amen."

1667
01:23:30,596 --> 01:23:32,598
Ok, Al, ok.

1668
01:23:32,599 --> 01:23:35,398
And I'll wrap it up for you.

1669
01:23:36,168 --> 01:23:39,171
One happy afternoon,
when God was feeling good,

1670
01:23:39,172 --> 01:23:40,673
he sat down, and he thought

1671
01:23:40,674 --> 01:23:43,175
of a rich, beautiful country.

1672
01:23:43,176 --> 01:23:45,877
And he named it the U.S.A.

1673
01:23:45,979 --> 01:23:46,645
All of it, Al...

1674
01:23:46,646 --> 01:23:49,781
the hills, the rivers,
the lands, the whole works.

1675
01:23:50,517 --> 01:23:53,618
Don't tell me
we can't make it work in peace

1676
01:23:53,619 --> 01:23:55,121
like we do in war.

1677
01:23:55,122 --> 01:23:57,190
Don't tell me we can't pull together.

1678
01:23:57,191 --> 01:24:00,292
Don't you see it, guys?
Can't you see it?

1679
01:24:01,761 --> 01:24:04,263
You askin' me?

1680
01:24:08,469 --> 01:24:09,370
Yeah.

1681
01:24:09,371 --> 01:24:11,672
I'm askin' you like everybody else.

1682
01:24:11,673 --> 01:24:14,907
I don't see none
of those things you said God made.

1683
01:24:16,276 --> 01:24:18,879
I don't see a thing.

1684
01:24:27,256 --> 01:24:30,090
I didn't mean it that way.

1685
01:24:30,325 --> 01:24:31,791
No, you didn't.

1686
01:24:31,792 --> 01:24:34,729
But a lot of things
take time in this life.

1687
01:24:34,730 --> 01:24:37,764
When a man has to climb
a mountain all alone,

1688
01:24:38,167 --> 01:24:40,934
sometimes he loses the way...

1689
01:24:41,670 --> 01:24:44,606
and it's up to his friends to help.

1690
01:24:48,810 --> 01:24:50,713
What's on your mind?
You.

1691
01:24:50,714 --> 01:24:52,781
I thought it was something important.

1692
01:24:52,782 --> 01:24:55,583
You're important. Sit here.

1693
01:24:59,022 --> 01:25:01,290
I want to say
something important, too...

1694
01:25:01,291 --> 01:25:02,725
straight and tough.
Shoot.

1695
01:25:02,726 --> 01:25:05,026
Suppose the worst
happens to you, Al,

1696
01:25:05,027 --> 01:25:06,795
and you don't get your sight back.

1697
01:25:06,796 --> 01:25:07,529
I'm not kidding you,

1698
01:25:07,530 --> 01:25:09,265
you're gonna
be cut off from certain things.

1699
01:25:09,266 --> 01:25:12,101
No hunting, no driving your own car,

1700
01:25:12,102 --> 01:25:13,436
no watching ice hockey.

1701
01:25:13,437 --> 01:25:14,471
But even without sight,

1702
01:25:14,472 --> 01:25:17,307
a man can swim and dance
and go fishing.

1703
01:25:17,308 --> 01:25:19,542
He can't hunt,
but he can walk in the woods

1704
01:25:19,543 --> 01:25:21,244
when the leaves are falling.

1705
01:25:21,245 --> 01:25:22,345
With only a little training,

1706
01:25:22,346 --> 01:25:23,713
he can learn to play poker,

1707
01:25:23,714 --> 01:25:26,215
checkers, chess, dominoes.

1708
01:25:26,216 --> 01:25:28,317
He can learn to read
by the touch system,

1709
01:25:28,318 --> 01:25:30,554
type his own letters,
listen to music...

1710
01:25:30,555 --> 01:25:32,823
he can play any old
instrument he wants.

1711
01:25:32,824 --> 01:25:33,624
Don't you see, Al...

1712
01:25:33,625 --> 01:25:35,125
once you get over your fear
of being helpless,

1713
01:25:35,126 --> 01:25:37,561
the whole world is wide open for you.

1714
01:25:37,562 --> 01:25:38,596
With a tin cup?

1715
01:25:38,597 --> 01:25:40,730
If you're afraid
you can't hold down a job anymore,

1716
01:25:40,731 --> 01:25:41,731
that's just crazy, Al.

1717
01:25:41,732 --> 01:25:43,233
You can go back
to a job that's just as good

1718
01:25:43,234 --> 01:25:44,401
as the one you left.
Yeah?

1719
01:25:44,402 --> 01:25:45,603
Why, right here in California,

1720
01:25:45,604 --> 01:25:47,838
there are over 400 blind workers
in the aircraft factories.

1721
01:25:47,839 --> 01:25:51,074
I tell you, it's
all very interesting, Virginia,

1722
01:25:52,043 --> 01:25:54,480
but it sort of
doesn't apply to me.

1723
01:25:54,481 --> 01:25:57,615
A couple of months from now,
I'll be able to see all right.

1724
01:25:57,616 --> 01:26:00,317
Sure, Al.
I hope so, too.

1725
01:26:01,354 --> 01:26:02,287
I just thought you might like

1726
01:26:02,288 --> 01:26:05,289
to know some of these things.
Yeah. Sure.

1727
01:26:05,458 --> 01:26:07,792
Ok, Al.

1728
01:26:08,594 --> 01:26:10,895
Yeah.

1729
01:26:20,307 --> 01:26:23,709
Hey, Tommy, tell 'em
about the first time you went huntin'.

1730
01:26:23,710 --> 01:26:25,878
Oh, the time I want
to take my girl huntin'...

1731
01:26:25,879 --> 01:26:27,647
so I go out, and I buy
the whole thing...

1732
01:26:27,648 --> 01:26:29,415
the hat, you know,
with the tail in the back,

1733
01:26:29,416 --> 01:26:31,518
and the leather coat
with the things across here,

1734
01:26:31,519 --> 01:26:34,221
with the shells...
you know, and the gun.

1735
01:26:34,222 --> 01:26:35,522
Now I gotta get a dog, see?

1736
01:26:35,523 --> 01:26:37,524
I buy the best dog
in Illinois,

1737
01:26:37,525 --> 01:26:39,258
the best huntin' dog you could buy.

1738
01:26:39,259 --> 01:26:41,927
75 bucks.
One dog. $75.

1739
01:26:42,564 --> 01:26:44,998
So I went huntin' with her, see?

1740
01:26:44,999 --> 01:26:46,033
We get out there.

1741
01:26:46,034 --> 01:26:48,168
Soon as he sees a rabbit or a bird,

1742
01:26:48,169 --> 01:26:50,937
stops dead, he goes like this.

1743
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:53,473
Doesn't catch nothing.

1744
01:26:53,474 --> 01:26:55,141
Just like this...

1745
01:26:55,142 --> 01:26:55,641
see?

1746
01:26:55,642 --> 01:26:58,145
I beat him over the head
with the gun a coupla times.

1747
01:26:58,146 --> 01:27:00,014
I broke him of that habit.

1748
01:27:00,015 --> 01:27:01,749
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha.

1749
01:27:01,750 --> 01:27:03,417
Hi, Virginia.

1750
01:27:03,418 --> 01:27:04,719
Hello, boys.

1751
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,322
Al, it's time
for you to see the captain.

1752
01:27:07,323 --> 01:27:09,456
I want you
to see a picture of my girl.

1753
01:27:09,457 --> 01:27:10,424
Beautiful?

1754
01:27:10,425 --> 01:27:11,692
She sure is.

1755
01:27:11,693 --> 01:27:14,329
But who's the guy
with his arm around her?

1756
01:27:14,330 --> 01:27:17,331
That's my friend
from the draft board.

1757
01:27:18,267 --> 01:27:20,735
Beautiful girl.

1758
01:27:20,804 --> 01:27:22,772
Great friend.

1759
01:27:22,773 --> 01:27:25,575
Captain Burroughs says
to come in.

1760
01:27:25,576 --> 01:27:27,942
Thank you.

1761
01:27:31,614 --> 01:27:34,415
Door, Schmid...
to your right.

1762
01:27:43,060 --> 01:27:44,061
Good morning, Miss Pfeiffer.

1763
01:27:44,062 --> 01:27:44,961
Good morning,
captain Burroughs.

1764
01:27:44,962 --> 01:27:47,163
Good morning,
Schmid. Good morning, sir.

1765
01:27:47,164 --> 01:27:48,030
Hi, Al.

1766
01:27:48,031 --> 01:27:49,064
Sounds like Lee.

1767
01:27:49,065 --> 01:27:49,599
That's it.

1768
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,235
Schmid, I got great news for you.

1769
01:27:52,236 --> 01:27:54,438
You're getting a navy cross.

1770
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:55,672
Congratulations.

1771
01:27:55,673 --> 01:27:57,441
That's wonderful, Al.

1772
01:27:57,442 --> 01:27:58,475
Navy Cross...

1773
01:27:58,476 --> 01:28:01,211
never in all my born days
did I think...

1774
01:28:01,212 --> 01:28:03,479
the Navy Cross?
Stand at ease.

1775
01:28:03,480 --> 01:28:05,514
Corporal Diamond's getting one, too,

1776
01:28:05,515 --> 01:28:08,753
although the ceremonies
won't be held at the same place.

1777
01:28:08,754 --> 01:28:10,254
That sounds great, Lee.

1778
01:28:10,255 --> 01:28:11,188
Yeah, gave me a wallop.

1779
01:28:11,189 --> 01:28:13,390
Your hometown's
quite proud of you, Schmid.

1780
01:28:13,391 --> 01:28:15,526
I guess you know
that the papers have been printing

1781
01:28:15,527 --> 01:28:16,294
a lot of stories about you.

1782
01:28:16,295 --> 01:28:19,131
So the Navy's decided
that you'll get your award

1783
01:28:19,132 --> 01:28:21,066
at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

1784
01:28:21,067 --> 01:28:23,701
Corporal Diamond's
going on furlough, too.

1785
01:28:23,702 --> 01:28:25,102
He'll be on the train with you

1786
01:28:25,103 --> 01:28:27,738
and effect your transfer
to the Naval Hospital.

1787
01:28:27,739 --> 01:28:29,039
You leave tomorrow.

1788
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:30,541
You'll be home in time for Christmas.

1789
01:28:30,542 --> 01:28:34,044
Couldn't ask for a better Christmas
present than that, could you?

1790
01:28:35,381 --> 01:28:36,615
I gotta go back there?

1791
01:28:36,616 --> 01:28:39,085
It's your hometown.
Why not?

1792
01:28:39,086 --> 01:28:40,586
Well, it's not my home anymore.

1793
01:28:40,587 --> 01:28:42,287
We've found, from past experience

1794
01:28:42,288 --> 01:28:45,056
that men convalesce quicker
in a hospital near their home.

1795
01:28:45,057 --> 01:28:47,493
But it isn't my home, sir.

1796
01:28:47,494 --> 01:28:50,429
According to your record,
it was when you entered service.

1797
01:28:50,430 --> 01:28:53,199
Yes, sir. But, uh,
I-I'm gonna move.

1798
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:54,200
I got a brother in Chicago,

1799
01:28:54,201 --> 01:28:56,069
and when I don't
have to go to no hospital no more...

1800
01:28:56,070 --> 01:28:57,769
let's stop shadowboxing.

1801
01:28:57,770 --> 01:28:59,571
You don't want to return
to Philadelphia

1802
01:28:59,572 --> 01:29:01,006
because you've got friends there.

1803
01:29:01,007 --> 01:29:02,509
You're afraid to have them pity you.

1804
01:29:02,510 --> 01:29:03,810
That's it, isn't it?

1805
01:29:03,811 --> 01:29:06,245
No. N-no, sir.

1806
01:29:06,347 --> 01:29:07,681
That isn't it...
just because a guy happens

1807
01:29:07,682 --> 01:29:09,182
to have a little eye trouble.

1808
01:29:09,183 --> 01:29:10,049
Why, in a couple more months,

1809
01:29:10,050 --> 01:29:11,018
after I've had another operation,

1810
01:29:11,019 --> 01:29:12,987
I'll be able to see
all right, sir.

1811
01:29:12,988 --> 01:29:14,722
Well, then, why don't you go home?

1812
01:29:14,723 --> 01:29:15,989
You've got a girl there.

1813
01:29:15,990 --> 01:29:18,458
No, sir.
She and I are all washed up.

1814
01:29:18,459 --> 01:29:21,361
I got nobody in Philly for me.
Nobody.

1815
01:29:21,362 --> 01:29:22,162
You need to find out

1816
01:29:22,163 --> 01:29:24,531
from the people who knew you
before you were injured

1817
01:29:24,532 --> 01:29:26,634
that you mean
just as much to them now.

1818
01:29:26,635 --> 01:29:29,803
Until you learn that,
you won't make any progress.

1819
01:29:30,539 --> 01:29:32,240
I'm making progress, sir.

1820
01:29:32,241 --> 01:29:35,243
I'm trading a couple
of eyes in for a ribbon on my chest.

1821
01:29:35,244 --> 01:29:38,246
Now I'm going home
so people can stare at me.

1822
01:29:38,247 --> 01:29:40,947
That's fine progress!

1823
01:29:44,387 --> 01:29:46,955
You're under orders,
Schmid.

1824
01:29:46,956 --> 01:29:49,525
You're going back.

1825
01:29:50,060 --> 01:29:52,693
Good-bye.
Good luck.

1826
01:29:53,195 --> 01:29:55,663
Thank you, sir.

1827
01:29:56,165 --> 01:29:58,700
Good-bye, Diamond.

1828
01:30:08,712 --> 01:30:11,879
I'll be seeing you.
So long. So long, Schmiddy.

1829
01:30:12,215 --> 01:30:13,516
Here we are,
Schmiddy.

1830
01:30:13,517 --> 01:30:14,384
You gonna miss me, Ginnie?

1831
01:30:14,385 --> 01:30:16,453
I don't know how
we'll run the place without you.

1832
01:30:16,454 --> 01:30:18,988
By the way, I put
a couple of letters in your bag

1833
01:30:18,989 --> 01:30:19,756
you don't know about.

1834
01:30:19,757 --> 01:30:22,359
Thought maybe you might want
Lee to read 'em to you.

1835
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,661
Aw, you're a great fixer,
aren't you?

1836
01:30:24,662 --> 01:30:26,063
I don't wanna read 'em.

1837
01:30:26,064 --> 01:30:27,663
I'm sorry, I just
wanted to help...

1838
01:30:27,664 --> 01:30:30,400
listen, I-I've
been carrying a beef inside me,

1839
01:30:30,401 --> 01:30:32,335
but it hasn't been against you.

1840
01:30:32,336 --> 01:30:33,670
You're great.

1841
01:30:33,671 --> 01:30:35,171
I'm glad you think so, Al.

1842
01:30:35,172 --> 01:30:36,039
Listen, will you do me a favor

1843
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:38,942
and send Ruthie a wire
and ask her to...

1844
01:30:39,411 --> 01:30:41,479
ask her to meet me
at the station, will you?

1845
01:30:41,480 --> 01:30:42,013
Sure, I will.

1846
01:30:42,014 --> 01:30:43,180
It's not for the reason you think.

1847
01:30:43,181 --> 01:30:45,449
I just want to get things
straightened out once and for all.

1848
01:30:45,450 --> 01:30:48,619
As long as I can't see,
I don't want to marry anyone.

1849
01:30:48,620 --> 01:30:50,954
Ok, Al?

1850
01:30:51,590 --> 01:30:53,092
Keep your powder dry, Virginia,

1851
01:30:53,093 --> 01:30:54,192
and thanks for everything.

1852
01:30:54,193 --> 01:30:56,860
Good-bye, Lee.
Good luck.

1853
01:30:57,463 --> 01:31:00,832
You know... some of these days,
I'm gonna come back here

1854
01:31:03,003 --> 01:31:05,069
and find out what
you really look like.

1855
01:31:05,070 --> 01:31:07,005
I'll be an awful disappointment.

1856
01:31:07,006 --> 01:31:09,874
No, you won't.
You're swell.

1857
01:31:10,811 --> 01:31:13,778
Don't stop fighting now... don't.

1858
01:31:14,347 --> 01:31:16,415
So long, Ginnie.

1859
01:31:16,416 --> 01:31:18,684
Bye.

1860
01:31:21,122 --> 01:31:23,988
So long, Schmiddy,
you lucky stiff.

1861
01:31:24,191 --> 01:31:25,525
Say hello to Philadelphia.

1862
01:31:25,526 --> 01:31:28,460
So long, fellow. Have a swell trip.

1863
01:31:53,121 --> 01:31:55,255
Dear heavenly father,

1864
01:31:55,256 --> 01:31:57,524
he's got to come home
where he belongs.

1865
01:31:57,525 --> 01:32:00,459
He's got to know he's wanted.

1866
01:32:12,542 --> 01:32:15,510
Lee: It was gonna be
the biggest production we ever had,

1867
01:32:15,511 --> 01:32:18,778
and... don't you gentlemen
want to get some sleep?

1868
01:32:19,014 --> 01:32:20,315
How about it, Al?

1869
01:32:20,316 --> 01:32:21,483
I'm not sleepy.

1870
01:32:21,484 --> 01:32:24,052
Well, call me when you want me.

1871
01:32:24,053 --> 01:32:26,188
Thanks anyway.

1872
01:32:26,189 --> 01:32:28,057
So, like I was saying...

1873
01:32:28,058 --> 01:32:29,358
everything was going
along all right

1874
01:32:29,359 --> 01:32:31,695
until our high school teacher
hands me the girdle,

1875
01:32:31,696 --> 01:32:33,561
and she says, "put this on."

1876
01:32:33,562 --> 01:32:36,865
I took one look at that
belly choker and I hit the roof.

1877
01:32:37,201 --> 01:32:39,368
I says, "look, Miss Tuttle,

1878
01:32:39,369 --> 01:32:41,704
"I am willin'
to be the dame in this play,

1879
01:32:41,705 --> 01:32:43,540
"I am willing to wear
the blonde wig.

1880
01:32:43,541 --> 01:32:46,343
"I'm willing to wear
the dress with the phony fronts.

1881
01:32:46,344 --> 01:32:48,212
But a girdle stops me cold."

1882
01:32:48,213 --> 01:32:51,447
Nobody was gonna
get me to crawl into that booby trap.

1883
01:32:52,116 --> 01:32:53,383
So she gives me a pep talk

1884
01:32:53,384 --> 01:32:54,684
about how if I don't wear the girdle,

1885
01:32:54,685 --> 01:32:57,086
I'll have nothing
to hold up my stockings.

1886
01:32:57,087 --> 01:32:58,722
You know how them girdles are.

1887
01:32:58,723 --> 01:33:00,625
They got long tentacles

1888
01:33:00,626 --> 01:33:01,459
hanging down all around them.

1889
01:33:01,460 --> 01:33:04,861
And by this time I'm burnin',
I'm really steamed up.

1890
01:33:05,263 --> 01:33:08,199
And I say,
"look, Miss Tuttle, I won't do it."

1891
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:09,200
She says, "you will."

1892
01:33:09,201 --> 01:33:10,701
And I says, "I won't!"

1893
01:33:10,702 --> 01:33:13,203
So I put on the girdle.

1894
01:33:13,204 --> 01:33:15,306
Well, it was about this big...

1895
01:33:15,307 --> 01:33:17,841
junior miss size.

1896
01:33:18,210 --> 01:33:21,079
I wrestled
with that thing for a solid hour.

1897
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,315
I was on a chair.
I was on a table.

1898
01:33:23,316 --> 01:33:26,318
I was on a floor.
You've gotta get leverage.

1899
01:33:26,319 --> 01:33:28,719
I pulled it,
I yanked it, I jerked it,

1900
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:31,590
then, by some supernatural miracle,
I got it on.

1901
01:33:31,591 --> 01:33:34,558
It was like sitting
in a tight foxhole.

1902
01:33:34,627 --> 01:33:37,728
Why do women insist
on wearin' them things?

1903
01:33:38,130 --> 01:33:40,132
Believe me, Al,
if I was a dame,

1904
01:33:40,133 --> 01:33:41,834
I'd settle for the spread.

1905
01:33:41,835 --> 01:33:44,436
You don't have to entertain me, Lee.

1906
01:33:44,437 --> 01:33:45,937
Where are we?

1907
01:33:45,938 --> 01:33:48,707
Still crossing Ohio, I guess.

1908
01:33:49,309 --> 01:33:50,509
What time is it?

1909
01:33:50,510 --> 01:33:53,312
Uh, 5 to 3:00.
Wanna go to bed? I'll call a porter.

1910
01:33:53,313 --> 01:33:56,749
Aw, I feel kinda jumpy.
You don't have to sit up with me, Lee.

1911
01:33:56,750 --> 01:33:59,152
Oh, I'm not sleepy.

1912
01:33:59,153 --> 01:34:01,854
How about some dominoes?

1913
01:34:05,993 --> 01:34:07,660
I'm the sticking kind, Al.

1914
01:34:07,661 --> 01:34:10,030
Don't change
that sweet face of yours,

1915
01:34:10,031 --> 01:34:11,532
Suppose the Japs shoot you?

1916
01:34:11,533 --> 01:34:13,266
Me? What have they got against me?

1917
01:34:13,267 --> 01:34:15,002
I'm the best little ducker
in the world.

1918
01:34:15,003 --> 01:34:16,303
I'm the sticking kind, Al.

1919
01:34:16,304 --> 01:34:18,640
I wanna see
that sweet face when I come back.

1920
01:34:18,641 --> 01:34:19,574
Why'd you join up, Al?

1921
01:34:19,575 --> 01:34:22,175
I wanna see...
why'd you join?

1922
01:34:22,176 --> 01:34:25,278
I wanna see!
I wanna see!

1923
01:34:25,279 --> 01:34:28,182
What's the sense
of seeing Ruth just to break up with her?

1924
01:34:28,183 --> 01:34:29,183
It was a crazy idea I had.

1925
01:34:29,184 --> 01:34:31,185
Won't do her any good,
won't do me any good.

1926
01:34:31,186 --> 01:34:31,785
We're finished.

1927
01:34:31,786 --> 01:34:33,621
There's no point in having
a wake over the corpse.

1928
01:34:33,622 --> 01:34:34,756
I don't want her
to come to the station.

1929
01:34:34,757 --> 01:34:35,690
I don't want to see her at all.

1930
01:34:35,691 --> 01:34:38,126
You send a telegram for me.
Tell her not to come.

1931
01:34:38,127 --> 01:34:38,993
That's not fair, Schmiddy.

1932
01:34:38,994 --> 01:34:40,228
She's probably
planned a Christmas celebration.

1933
01:34:40,229 --> 01:34:41,061
You're going to see her.

1934
01:34:41,062 --> 01:34:41,996
Lee, don't make me fight you.

1935
01:34:41,997 --> 01:34:43,665
You and me, we don't
have to be polite with each other.

1936
01:34:43,666 --> 01:34:44,766
What have I got to celebrate?

1937
01:34:44,767 --> 01:34:47,702
What does "welcome home"
mean to a blind man?

1938
01:34:47,703 --> 01:34:48,537
Maybe more than to anyone else

1939
01:34:48,538 --> 01:34:50,072
if he doesn't hide it
from himself.

1940
01:34:50,073 --> 01:34:50,573
Cut the guff.

1941
01:34:50,574 --> 01:34:53,141
You're not talking me
into anything.

1942
01:34:53,142 --> 01:34:54,209
Al, I want to tell you something.

1943
01:34:54,210 --> 01:34:55,244
You gonna write that wire?

1944
01:34:55,245 --> 01:34:56,211
I'll write the wire,

1945
01:34:56,212 --> 01:34:57,547
but first I want
to get something off my chest,

1946
01:34:57,548 --> 01:34:59,147
from me to you without etiquette, too.

1947
01:34:59,148 --> 01:35:00,448
Al, back there on the 'canal,

1948
01:35:00,449 --> 01:35:03,385
I thought something
about you I never told you before.

1949
01:35:03,386 --> 01:35:05,588
It was after
you got the grenade in your face.

1950
01:35:05,589 --> 01:35:06,389
Towards morning, it was,

1951
01:35:06,390 --> 01:35:08,091
when we thought the Japs
were coming in on us.

1952
01:35:08,092 --> 01:35:09,692
You remember what you did?

1953
01:35:09,693 --> 01:35:10,526
You pulled your. 45,

1954
01:35:10,527 --> 01:35:12,128
and I thought you meant
to kill yourself.

1955
01:35:12,129 --> 01:35:12,863
But you kept yelling out,

1956
01:35:12,864 --> 01:35:14,231
"tell me when
they come in, Lee, I can't see 'em,

1957
01:35:14,232 --> 01:35:15,731
but tell me
where they are, and I'll shoot 'em."

1958
01:35:15,732 --> 01:35:16,566
Well, I was scared to death

1959
01:35:16,567 --> 01:35:19,202
and layin' on the ground
waitin' for a Jap bayonet.

1960
01:35:19,203 --> 01:35:20,536
But I kept thinking something.

1961
01:35:20,537 --> 01:35:22,138
I thought, "that boy Schmiddy

1962
01:35:22,139 --> 01:35:24,973
has more guts
than any man alive."

1963
01:35:26,143 --> 01:35:28,612
I was wrong, Al.

1964
01:35:28,847 --> 01:35:30,882
I think you were hopped up
by excitement,

1965
01:35:30,883 --> 01:35:33,084
like you'd taken
a shot or something.

1966
01:35:33,085 --> 01:35:34,350
I don't think you got any guts, Al.

1967
01:35:34,351 --> 01:35:36,386
I think you're kind of yellow.

1968
01:35:36,387 --> 01:35:38,089
You haven't got guts to see Ruth.

1969
01:35:38,090 --> 01:35:38,856
Shut up, shut up!

1970
01:35:38,857 --> 01:35:40,758
You haven't got guts
to pay off on a bet!

1971
01:35:40,759 --> 01:35:42,593
You didn't enlist
in the marine corps

1972
01:35:42,594 --> 01:35:44,061
because you had any
sense in your head.

1973
01:35:44,062 --> 01:35:45,997
You didn't care about this was
the U.S.A. And you lived in it.

1974
01:35:45,998 --> 01:35:48,266
You didn't know what the war
was about, and you didn't care.

1975
01:35:48,267 --> 01:35:50,201
You're a hopped-up kid
lookin' for excitement...

1976
01:35:50,202 --> 01:35:51,668
that's a lie,
and you're a stinkin' liar.

1977
01:35:51,669 --> 01:35:52,503
You're saying those things

1978
01:35:52,504 --> 01:35:54,205
'cause you know
I can't crack you in your lyin' face.

1979
01:35:54,206 --> 01:35:57,141
Ok...
then ask yourself a question.

1980
01:35:57,543 --> 01:36:00,077
Would you do it over again?

1981
01:36:00,078 --> 01:36:02,213
If you knew you was
gonna be blind,

1982
01:36:02,214 --> 01:36:04,949
would you do it over again?

1983
01:36:11,424 --> 01:36:14,391
Or would you ask
for shore duty, maybe?

1984
01:36:17,164 --> 01:36:17,730
Al, look.

1985
01:36:17,731 --> 01:36:20,833
In a war, somebody gets it,
and you're it.

1986
01:36:21,101 --> 01:36:22,168
Don't you think I'd crawl

1987
01:36:22,169 --> 01:36:23,102
on my hands and knees to a doctor

1988
01:36:23,103 --> 01:36:24,304
if he could take an
eye out of my head

1989
01:36:24,305 --> 01:36:25,105
and put it into yours?

1990
01:36:25,106 --> 01:36:26,440
But he can't, Al,
he can't.

1991
01:36:26,441 --> 01:36:28,607
Believe me,
you ain't been a sucker.

1992
01:36:28,608 --> 01:36:31,077
There ain't a guy
who's been killed or disabled

1993
01:36:31,078 --> 01:36:32,512
in this war who's been a sucker.

1994
01:36:32,513 --> 01:36:35,814
I know it's a stinkin' war,
but it has to be won.

1995
01:36:36,384 --> 01:36:37,250
And you're one of the guys

1996
01:36:37,251 --> 01:36:39,051
who lost some chips
in the winning.

1997
01:36:39,052 --> 01:36:41,121
Everybody's got problems.

1998
01:36:41,122 --> 01:36:42,089
I know you're in a tough spot,

1999
01:36:42,090 --> 01:36:44,392
but it ain't peaches and cream
for everybody else.

2000
01:36:44,393 --> 01:36:46,325
What problems have you got?
You're in one piece, ain't you?

2001
01:36:46,326 --> 01:36:49,630
Your wife don't have to turn
over in her insides when she sees you.

2002
01:36:49,631 --> 01:36:51,031
When you go for a job,
there ain't nobody gonna say,

2003
01:36:51,032 --> 01:36:53,933
"we got no use
for ex-heroes like you."

2004
01:36:54,703 --> 01:36:55,770
That's what you think.

2005
01:36:55,771 --> 01:36:57,438
Sure, there'll be
guys who won't hire you,

2006
01:36:57,439 --> 01:36:59,774
even when
they know you can handle a job.

2007
01:36:59,775 --> 01:37:01,575
But there's guys that won't hire me

2008
01:37:01,576 --> 01:37:03,811
because my name is Diamond
instead of Jones,

2009
01:37:03,812 --> 01:37:06,981
'cause I celebrate Passover
instead of Easter.

2010
01:37:07,616 --> 01:37:09,717
Do you see what I mean?

2011
01:37:09,718 --> 01:37:12,554
You and me,
we need the same kind of a world.

2012
01:37:12,555 --> 01:37:13,588
We need a country to live in

2013
01:37:13,589 --> 01:37:16,691
where nobody gets booted
around for any reason.

2014
01:37:18,261 --> 01:37:20,929
Aw, I'm all mixed up...

2015
01:37:21,064 --> 01:37:22,398
mixed up and scared.

2016
01:37:22,399 --> 01:37:24,298
Draggin' at the heels and yellow.

2017
01:37:24,299 --> 01:37:27,536
Oh, no, no, I...
I wasn't telling the truth before.

2018
01:37:27,871 --> 01:37:29,538
You're not yellow.

2019
01:37:29,539 --> 01:37:31,273
Aw, you're a swell guy.

2020
01:37:31,274 --> 01:37:34,443
You're a pure sort
of a guy if I ever saw one, but...

2021
01:37:34,444 --> 01:37:36,713
don't leave
all your guts back on the 'canal.

2022
01:37:36,714 --> 01:37:39,249
You need 'em now, too.

2023
01:37:39,250 --> 01:37:40,815
That girl loves you, Al.

2024
01:37:40,816 --> 01:37:42,351
You two can make out.

2025
01:37:42,352 --> 01:37:44,987
She's the real goods.

2026
01:37:44,989 --> 01:37:46,622
Ok, Lee.

2027
01:37:46,623 --> 01:37:49,324
But now we send that wire.

2028
01:37:51,696 --> 01:37:54,797
Didn't what I said
mean anything to you?

2029
01:37:55,534 --> 01:37:57,832
Yeah.

2030
01:37:58,235 --> 01:38:00,903
It means send that wire.

2031
01:38:05,677 --> 01:38:08,713
It's good we're late.
Ruth got that wire, then.

2032
01:38:08,714 --> 01:38:09,614
Yeah.

2033
01:38:09,615 --> 01:38:12,550
It's too bad we can't
get those navy crosses together.

2034
01:38:12,551 --> 01:38:15,886
We won 'em together;
we oughta collect 'em together.

2035
01:38:16,521 --> 01:38:17,221
Say, Al...

2036
01:38:17,222 --> 01:38:20,391
you hold any hard feelings
about what I said last night?

2037
01:38:20,392 --> 01:38:21,059
Nah, forget it.

2038
01:38:21,060 --> 01:38:22,727
Say, you don't have
to come to the hospital with me.

2039
01:38:22,728 --> 01:38:25,197
Your wife's sittin'
in New York, bitin' her fingernails.

2040
01:38:25,198 --> 01:38:26,030
We're late enough already.

2041
01:38:26,031 --> 01:38:27,599
It's all right.
The trains run pretty often.

2042
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:29,634
Well, maybe
there's a Navy car waitin' for me.

2043
01:38:29,635 --> 01:38:31,070
Or you can just
stick me in a cab.

2044
01:38:31,071 --> 01:38:33,572
Well, I'd like to get you settled.

2045
01:38:33,573 --> 01:38:35,939
Come in.

2046
01:38:36,609 --> 01:38:39,078
Your bags are
in the vestibule, gentlemen.

2047
01:38:39,079 --> 01:38:42,114
Mr. Schmid, I heard
that march of time broadcast

2048
01:38:42,115 --> 01:38:44,717
about what you done
on Guadalcanal,

2049
01:38:44,718 --> 01:38:47,287
and I saw
your picture in Life Magazine.

2050
01:38:47,288 --> 01:38:50,489
And I want to say
I feel honored you rode in my car.

2051
01:38:51,557 --> 01:38:53,492
Thanks.

2052
01:38:53,493 --> 01:38:55,361
And I read you were
there with him, sir.

2053
01:38:55,362 --> 01:38:57,998
Thanks for letting
us stay up so late last night.

2054
01:38:57,999 --> 01:39:00,966
No. Like I said,
it's been an honor.

2055
01:39:14,616 --> 01:39:17,017
I want to navigate
this on my own.

2056
01:39:17,018 --> 01:39:19,453
Your bags are
right there, gentlemen.

2057
01:39:19,454 --> 01:39:22,489
Boy. It sure smells
like Philly, all right.

2058
01:39:22,658 --> 01:39:25,661
You know, not so long ago,
I left from the same place.

2059
01:39:25,662 --> 01:39:27,329
Ain't it grand to be home?

2060
01:39:27,330 --> 01:39:30,530
Say, you don't
see Ruth around here, do you?

2061
01:39:31,299 --> 01:39:33,201
No.
That's fine.

2062
01:39:33,202 --> 01:39:34,602
Now that's off my mind.

2063
01:39:34,603 --> 01:39:35,537
Uh, do you wanna
wait here a second?

2064
01:39:35,538 --> 01:39:37,872
There's a conductor
over there I want to ask about trains.

2065
01:39:37,873 --> 01:39:39,774
I wanna gauge my time.
Sure, go ahead.

2066
01:39:39,775 --> 01:39:41,310
Stick here
with the bags a minute, will you?

2067
01:39:41,311 --> 01:39:44,379
I'll be all right.
All aboard!

2068
01:39:45,382 --> 01:39:48,283
I recognize you from Al's snapshot.

2069
01:39:48,284 --> 01:39:49,685
You're Ruth.
Yes.

2070
01:39:49,686 --> 01:39:52,721
I'm Lee Diamond.
Didn't you get the telegram?

2071
01:39:52,722 --> 01:39:55,457
Yes, but I decided to come anyway.

2072
01:39:55,458 --> 01:39:56,492
Lee, you've got to help me.

2073
01:39:56,493 --> 01:39:59,162
I have to get him
back among his friends, where he lived.

2074
01:39:59,163 --> 01:40:00,096
He's got to know that we...

2075
01:40:00,097 --> 01:40:01,831
he's pretty set on not going.

2076
01:40:01,832 --> 01:40:03,464
Where are you taking him now?

2077
01:40:03,465 --> 01:40:05,901
Navy hospital.

2078
01:40:06,203 --> 01:40:09,638
Well, he's got to come home first,
even if it's just for an hour.

2079
01:40:09,639 --> 01:40:11,273
It'd mean so much right now.

2080
01:40:11,274 --> 01:40:13,677
If he won't go with you, he won't.

2081
01:40:13,678 --> 01:40:15,145
You'll just have to try.

2082
01:40:15,146 --> 01:40:16,046
I've got Al's car with me.

2083
01:40:16,047 --> 01:40:19,548
Couldn't you lie to him
and tell him it's a Navy car, maybe?

2084
01:40:21,286 --> 01:40:23,687
I don't know. It...

2085
01:40:23,688 --> 01:40:26,456
I want one chance, Lee,
won't you give it to me?

2086
01:40:26,457 --> 01:40:29,226
It's his whole life
I'm fighting for.

2087
01:40:29,227 --> 01:40:31,661
Yeah. I know.

2088
01:40:32,864 --> 01:40:35,231
And yours.

2089
01:40:36,603 --> 01:40:37,268
Al, here's luck.

2090
01:40:37,269 --> 01:40:39,270
Number one,
there's a Navy car waitin' for you;

2091
01:40:39,271 --> 01:40:41,105
number two,
I can get a train to New York

2092
01:40:41,106 --> 01:40:41,739
in 15 minutes.

2093
01:40:41,740 --> 01:40:44,109
Do you mind if I take you up
on that proposition?

2094
01:40:44,110 --> 01:40:47,010
Sure, Lee.
Go right ahead. Thanks.

2095
01:40:47,679 --> 01:40:50,447
Your bag's on your right.

2096
01:41:33,295 --> 01:41:34,227
Here's the Navy car.

2097
01:41:34,228 --> 01:41:37,396
There's a good-looking wave
ready to take you.

2098
01:41:37,665 --> 01:41:38,765
A wave?
Say, that's class.

2099
01:41:38,766 --> 01:41:42,001
Don't step out of line.
She's a loo-ie. Ha ha.

2100
01:41:43,272 --> 01:41:45,606
I guess I won't
see you for a long time, huh, Lee?

2101
01:41:45,607 --> 01:41:46,573
Well, maybe after my furlough,

2102
01:41:46,574 --> 01:41:49,478
I can drop off and see you
on my way back to San Diego.

2103
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:51,412
Hey, that would be
great, if you could.

2104
01:41:51,413 --> 01:41:53,681
You'll probably see
a lot more action before this is over.

2105
01:41:53,682 --> 01:41:56,883
Looks that way,
my arm's coming along good now.

2106
01:41:57,019 --> 01:41:58,352
It'll be funny,
sittin' around,

2107
01:41:58,353 --> 01:42:01,322
thinking of you landing
on a beachhead again.

2108
01:42:01,323 --> 01:42:03,025
When I hit the beach,

2109
01:42:03,026 --> 01:42:04,659
I'll mark the first Nip
for you, Al.

2110
01:42:04,660 --> 01:42:06,361
Yeah. Get 'em
in the eyes.

2111
01:42:06,362 --> 01:42:08,862
Right in the eyes!

2112
01:42:10,199 --> 01:42:10,832
Gosh...

2113
01:42:10,833 --> 01:42:13,600
that kind of popped out of me

2114
01:42:13,836 --> 01:42:16,538
without me even thinking of it.

2115
01:42:16,539 --> 01:42:18,207
Ha ha.

2116
01:42:18,208 --> 01:42:20,175
Take care
of yourself, Al.

2117
01:42:20,176 --> 01:42:21,644
Likewise.

2118
01:42:21,645 --> 01:42:24,380
I'm gonna miss you, you old ball of fire.

2119
01:42:24,381 --> 01:42:26,683
Yeah. Likewise.

2120
01:42:26,684 --> 01:42:29,884
Say, uh, what were them
old Hebrew words you told me?

2121
01:42:30,620 --> 01:42:32,354
Sholem alechem?

2122
01:42:32,355 --> 01:42:34,623
Yeah. Well, uh...

2123
01:42:34,624 --> 01:42:36,727
Sholem alechem,
kid.

2124
01:42:36,728 --> 01:42:39,461
That goes double for you, Al.

2125
01:42:43,634 --> 01:42:46,501
Well, I'm off
to the beachhead.

2126
01:42:54,546 --> 01:42:57,046
Ok, lieutenant.

2127
01:42:58,116 --> 01:43:00,418
I'll write you, Al.
Thanks.

2128
01:43:00,419 --> 01:43:02,853
So long, Lee.

2129
01:43:07,458 --> 01:43:09,860
So long, Al.

2130
01:43:15,068 --> 01:43:16,534
I know where we are now...

2131
01:43:16,535 --> 01:43:18,336
passin' Independence Hall.

2132
01:43:18,337 --> 01:43:21,273
I used to remember
hearing the bell strike the hour.

2133
01:43:21,274 --> 01:43:24,109
Somehow, whenever
it struck 12 noon, I got hungry.

2134
01:43:24,110 --> 01:43:27,544
Out on Guadalcanal, I remembered
that bell whenever I was hungry.

2135
01:43:32,051 --> 01:43:35,019
Good day for huntin'.
Cold and crisp.

2136
01:43:36,089 --> 01:43:39,358
Had my huntin' coat
and boots on... be all right.

2137
01:43:39,526 --> 01:43:42,093
Ever go huntin'?

2138
01:43:42,529 --> 01:43:43,128
Mm-hmm.

2139
01:43:43,129 --> 01:43:46,032
Couldn't hit the broadside
of a barn right now.

2140
01:43:46,033 --> 01:43:47,333
Got eye trouble.

2141
01:43:47,334 --> 01:43:50,468
That's why I'm here...
get 'em fixed up.

2142
01:44:03,717 --> 01:44:05,652
Are we at the hospital?

2143
01:44:05,653 --> 01:44:08,019
Mm-hmm.

2144
01:44:22,971 --> 01:44:23,403
Steps.

2145
01:44:23,404 --> 01:44:25,140
I used to count steps
when I was a kid.

2146
01:44:25,141 --> 01:44:27,475
Now I'm back at it again.

2147
01:44:27,476 --> 01:44:29,977
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

2148
01:44:34,283 --> 01:44:36,884
Any more?
Uh-huh.

2149
01:44:39,655 --> 01:44:42,090
7, 8, 9...

2150
01:44:50,501 --> 01:44:52,066
Ruth...

2151
01:44:52,067 --> 01:44:53,435
you're home now.

2152
01:44:53,436 --> 01:44:56,439
Please forgive me
for doing it. I had to.

2153
01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:57,373
Why? It's no good.

2154
01:44:57,374 --> 01:45:00,142
Now, be
reasonable, Al, it's Christmas Eve.

2155
01:45:00,143 --> 01:45:01,243
I didn't have the heart

2156
01:45:01,244 --> 01:45:02,178
to tell Ella Mae about your wire.

2157
01:45:02,179 --> 01:45:04,580
She has dinner all ready for you,
in your honor, and...

2158
01:45:04,581 --> 01:45:06,917
Loretta has a present for you.

2159
01:45:06,918 --> 01:45:08,418
It won't work.
I'm not going in.

2160
01:45:08,419 --> 01:45:09,651
You can tell 'em
anything you want.

2161
01:45:09,652 --> 01:45:12,554
You're still the same stubborn...

2162
01:45:14,091 --> 01:45:15,392
look, if you and I are finished, ok.

2163
01:45:15,393 --> 01:45:18,793
But why can't you stay
to a Christmas party with your friends?

2164
01:45:20,199 --> 01:45:21,065
Al.

2165
01:45:21,066 --> 01:45:23,666
Oh, Al.
Hiya, kid.

2166
01:45:24,068 --> 01:45:25,503
I read all about you
in the newspapers.

2167
01:45:25,504 --> 01:45:28,438
You killed 200 Japs,
didn't you, Al?

2168
01:45:29,140 --> 01:45:29,840
So they tell me.

2169
01:45:29,841 --> 01:45:32,376
Come on inside.
I'll take your bag.

2170
01:45:32,377 --> 01:45:33,844
I'll show you the way.

2171
01:45:33,845 --> 01:45:36,515
You got hurt
in the eyes, didn't you?

2172
01:45:36,516 --> 01:45:37,849
Yes, I did.

2173
01:45:37,850 --> 01:45:40,484
Sometimes I need some help.

2174
01:45:40,485 --> 01:45:42,721
Ma? Al's home.

2175
01:45:42,722 --> 01:45:45,489
What's it like when you can't see good?

2176
01:45:45,490 --> 01:45:47,491
Is it like being in a dark room?

2177
01:45:47,492 --> 01:45:48,092
You got it.

2178
01:45:48,093 --> 01:45:51,028
Al! Oh, it's so good to see you.

2179
01:45:51,163 --> 01:45:53,198
I don't see why
I can't be sentimental, too,

2180
01:45:53,199 --> 01:45:55,200
especially under mistletoe.

2181
01:45:55,201 --> 01:45:56,701
Hi, Ella Mae.
How's Jim?

2182
01:45:56,702 --> 01:45:57,335
Oh, he's fine.

2183
01:45:57,336 --> 01:45:59,372
He'll be home from work
any minute now.

2184
01:45:59,373 --> 01:46:00,039
Give me your coat.

2185
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:02,275
Now, you just make yourself
right at home again.

2186
01:46:02,276 --> 01:46:04,108
Loretta, you come on
in the kitchen

2187
01:46:04,109 --> 01:46:05,043
and help me get the drinks ready.

2188
01:46:05,044 --> 01:46:08,112
Al and Ruth,
you go on in there and sit down.

2189
01:46:10,584 --> 01:46:12,084
Sofa still in the same place?

2190
01:46:12,085 --> 01:46:14,986
Yes, everything's just the same.

2191
01:46:20,427 --> 01:46:20,927
Smoke?

2192
01:46:20,928 --> 01:46:23,996
No, thanks.
I don't smoke, Al, remember?

2193
01:46:25,432 --> 01:46:27,500
Yeah. I remember.

2194
01:46:27,501 --> 01:46:28,601
Do you have a match?

2195
01:46:28,602 --> 01:46:30,937
Got one.

2196
01:46:41,216 --> 01:46:43,149
Things pretty much
the same, huh?

2197
01:46:43,150 --> 01:46:46,252
Yes. Everybody's working
a little harder, of course.

2198
01:46:46,253 --> 01:46:47,555
Things are rationed, too.

2199
01:46:47,556 --> 01:46:49,557
Yeah. I heard all about it.

2200
01:46:49,558 --> 01:46:51,292
As long as I'm
staying for dinner,

2201
01:46:51,293 --> 01:46:52,126
you might as well know

2202
01:46:52,127 --> 01:46:54,095
how they feed chow
at the hospital.

2203
01:46:54,096 --> 01:46:56,732
I mean, with people
with eye trouble.

2204
01:46:56,733 --> 01:46:58,666
They use the clock method.

2205
01:46:58,667 --> 01:47:01,068
Potatoes at 12:00 on the plate,

2206
01:47:01,069 --> 01:47:02,805
vegetables at 3:00.

2207
01:47:02,806 --> 01:47:05,373
Meat at 6:00.
You see?

2208
01:47:05,374 --> 01:47:07,175
Virginia wrote me, Al.

2209
01:47:07,176 --> 01:47:10,011
Oh. Great little
fixer, that girl.

2210
01:47:10,447 --> 01:47:12,981
She's wonderful.

2211
01:47:13,117 --> 01:47:14,783
Yes. She's ok.

2212
01:47:14,784 --> 01:47:17,185
You're looking fine, Al.

2213
01:47:17,186 --> 01:47:17,685
How about you?

2214
01:47:17,686 --> 01:47:20,188
You change your hairdo or anything?

2215
01:47:20,189 --> 01:47:22,858
No, I... I look
the same, I guess.

2216
01:47:22,859 --> 01:47:25,794
You still wear those
silly-lookin' hats?

2217
01:47:25,795 --> 01:47:28,464
I guess you'd think so.

2218
01:47:28,466 --> 01:47:31,333
We're awfully proud of you, Al.

2219
01:47:31,602 --> 01:47:32,468
Aw.

2220
01:47:32,469 --> 01:47:35,471
Cocktails, Al, we're being
very festive in your honor.

2221
01:47:35,472 --> 01:47:37,473
Cocktails? That's
class, all right.

2222
01:47:37,474 --> 01:47:38,808
Have some nuts?

2223
01:47:38,809 --> 01:47:41,276
Sure. Thanks.

2224
01:47:43,281 --> 01:47:45,982
Oh. Daddy,
Al's here!

2225
01:47:46,517 --> 01:47:48,218
Where?
Right there.

2226
01:47:48,219 --> 01:47:49,653
Al, you old no-good marine.

2227
01:47:49,654 --> 01:47:51,555
How are you?
Boy...

2228
01:47:51,556 --> 01:47:53,056
Gee, it's good to see you again.

2229
01:47:53,057 --> 01:47:54,023
Isn't it great
to have him back?

2230
01:47:54,024 --> 01:47:56,726
Am I glad you could make it
for Christmas with us.

2231
01:47:56,727 --> 01:47:57,494
Me, too.

2232
01:47:57,495 --> 01:47:59,330
Al? Here's your gun, Al.

2233
01:47:59,331 --> 01:48:01,165
Thought you might
like to see how clean I kept it.

2234
01:48:01,166 --> 01:48:03,767
Put it
down, dear, he doesn't want it right now.

2235
01:48:03,768 --> 01:48:06,337
Here's your drink, Al.
Oh, thanks.

2236
01:48:06,338 --> 01:48:07,573
Now, you go on upstairs
and get cleaned up.

2237
01:48:07,574 --> 01:48:09,507
I won't have my dinner spoiled.

2238
01:48:09,508 --> 01:48:09,973
No, dear.

2239
01:48:09,974 --> 01:48:12,542
There,
you see that, Al? I'm still henpecked.

2240
01:48:12,543 --> 01:48:13,411
Ha ha.
Sounds it.

2241
01:48:13,412 --> 01:48:16,814
I'm having a cocktail
too, Al... ginger ale and grape juice.

2242
01:48:17,683 --> 01:48:19,417
Same old stuff, huh?

2243
01:48:19,418 --> 01:48:20,718
You betcha.

2244
01:48:20,719 --> 01:48:22,855
There's some new
boys up the block.

2245
01:48:22,856 --> 01:48:25,856
Kinda rough,
but I found a smooth one.

2246
01:48:25,858 --> 01:48:27,259
Ha ha.
I bet you did.

2247
01:48:27,260 --> 01:48:29,661
We have a super tree
this year, Al.

2248
01:48:29,662 --> 01:48:31,663
Almost touches the ceiling. Swell.

2249
01:48:31,664 --> 01:48:33,699
You want me to tell
you what's on it? Never mind.

2250
01:48:33,700 --> 01:48:35,667
There's a great
big star on top, and underneath...

2251
01:48:35,668 --> 01:48:38,904
never mind, Loretta,
I don't wanna hear about it!

2252
01:48:42,509 --> 01:48:45,111
Oh, honey.
Excuse me.

2253
01:48:46,213 --> 01:48:48,180
Of course
I want to hear about your Christmas tree.

2254
01:48:48,181 --> 01:48:51,349
I'm just tired
from the train, that's all.

2255
01:48:51,652 --> 01:48:53,586
It's a nice tree.

2256
01:48:53,587 --> 01:48:55,355
Lots of colored lights.

2257
01:48:55,356 --> 01:48:57,890
Sure, honey, sure.

2258
01:48:58,159 --> 01:48:58,725
Forgive me.

2259
01:48:58,726 --> 01:49:01,827
In a minute,
you can tell me all about it, huh?

2260
01:49:02,264 --> 01:49:04,931
All right.
I forgive you.

2261
01:49:05,332 --> 01:49:07,467
Thanks.

2262
01:49:07,468 --> 01:49:08,736
How was your trip, Al?

2263
01:49:08,737 --> 01:49:11,305
Ok. Every state sounded alike.

2264
01:49:11,306 --> 01:49:12,373
Your old room's all ready.

2265
01:49:12,374 --> 01:49:15,375
It's got new wallpaper.
I did it myself.

2266
01:49:15,477 --> 01:49:17,545
It's a little lumpy,
but it's clean.

2267
01:49:17,546 --> 01:49:19,581
Sorry, Jim,
I've got other plans.

2268
01:49:19,582 --> 01:49:22,682
I'm going to Chicago,
to live with my brother.

2269
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:27,554
Oh, I, uh... didn't know that.

2270
01:49:27,555 --> 01:49:29,590
Well, I'll see you
in a minute, folks.

2271
01:49:29,591 --> 01:49:32,427
I gotta help Ella Mae
in the kitchen.

2272
01:49:32,428 --> 01:49:34,729
But, Al...
yeah?

2273
01:49:34,730 --> 01:49:37,632
I thought you were
going to stay here and marry Ruth.

2274
01:49:37,633 --> 01:49:40,734
Loretta and I have
talked everything over, Al.

2275
01:49:40,736 --> 01:49:43,870
She's quite
grown up now. I'll say I am.

2276
01:49:44,073 --> 01:49:45,373
Too big to give me a kiss?

2277
01:49:45,374 --> 01:49:47,309
Big girls kiss, too.

2278
01:49:47,310 --> 01:49:50,345
Mm, you've been
practicing. Uh-huh.

2279
01:49:50,447 --> 01:49:53,515
On Stevie,
the smooth boy I told you about.

2280
01:49:54,685 --> 01:49:56,019
Ha ha. It felt smooth, too.

2281
01:49:56,020 --> 01:49:58,953
Al? You're not different, are you?

2282
01:49:59,355 --> 01:50:01,423
Of course he's not.

2283
01:50:01,424 --> 01:50:03,559
Ma says all
soldiers come back different.

2284
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:06,095
She said you'd be different, too.

2285
01:50:06,096 --> 01:50:07,731
I'm a little different,
I suppose.

2286
01:50:07,732 --> 01:50:08,765
No, you're not.

2287
01:50:08,766 --> 01:50:11,234
Can't see Loretta's
Christmas tree, can I?

2288
01:50:11,235 --> 01:50:12,503
I can't see you.

2289
01:50:12,504 --> 01:50:13,470
Doesn't that make me
different?

2290
01:50:13,471 --> 01:50:16,172
No, I don't mean your eyes.
I mean you.

2291
01:50:16,173 --> 01:50:18,974
You're not different.
No?

2292
01:50:19,744 --> 01:50:20,610
No...

2293
01:50:20,611 --> 01:50:23,412
I think you're just the same.

2294
01:50:24,849 --> 01:50:27,250
I can tell.

2295
01:50:27,252 --> 01:50:29,221
Thanks.

2296
01:50:29,222 --> 01:50:31,988
Ok, kids, come and get it.

2297
01:50:34,492 --> 01:50:37,528
Dining room still in the same place?
Sure.

2298
01:50:39,565 --> 01:50:41,398
Am I sittin' where I always used to?

2299
01:50:41,399 --> 01:50:43,568
Yes, right next to Ella Mae.

2300
01:50:43,569 --> 01:50:46,336
Watch me make this on my own.

2301
01:50:48,407 --> 01:50:50,908
There. You see?

2302
01:50:51,077 --> 01:50:53,411
There have been 20 babies
born on this block

2303
01:50:53,412 --> 01:50:54,046
since you left, Al.

2304
01:50:54,047 --> 01:50:55,846
Guess that always
happens in wartime.

2305
01:50:55,847 --> 01:50:58,516
Train whistle
still go at night? Sure.

2306
01:50:58,517 --> 01:51:01,420
Bet you didn't remember
to light the candles, did you?

2307
01:51:01,421 --> 01:51:02,588
Oh, dear, no.

2308
01:51:02,589 --> 01:51:04,757
Here you are.
Remember me, Ella Mae?

2309
01:51:04,758 --> 01:51:07,859
The best little
candle-lighter in Philadelphia.

2310
01:51:17,037 --> 01:51:19,605
There.

2311
01:51:20,473 --> 01:51:23,610
Al, there's a blind fellow
working at our factory now.

2312
01:51:23,611 --> 01:51:25,212
Loretta, stop reaching for things.

2313
01:51:25,213 --> 01:51:26,080
Haven't you got a tongue?

2314
01:51:26,081 --> 01:51:28,180
Sure, Mom.
But my arm's longer.

2315
01:51:28,181 --> 01:51:30,717
It's time for you
to take your present to Stevie now.

2316
01:51:30,718 --> 01:51:31,585
Go upstairs
and get our coats.

2317
01:51:31,586 --> 01:51:34,054
This blind fellow
I was telling you about

2318
01:51:34,055 --> 01:51:35,089
went to a school.

2319
01:51:35,090 --> 01:51:37,424
You know, it's
a funny thing, Al, but...

2320
01:51:37,425 --> 01:51:40,595
he can feel those
small rises better than I can see 'em.

2321
01:51:40,596 --> 01:51:41,462
It's God's truth.

2322
01:51:41,463 --> 01:51:44,464
How does he get to the plant?
By bus.

2323
01:51:45,234 --> 01:51:46,334
Somebody takes him, huh?

2324
01:51:46,335 --> 01:51:47,802
Oh, no, he goes by himself.

2325
01:51:47,803 --> 01:51:50,203
Al, I went to see
Mr. Davidson last week,

2326
01:51:50,204 --> 01:51:52,506
and he said that if you'd go
to the same school

2327
01:51:52,507 --> 01:51:53,273
for a couple of months,

2328
01:51:53,274 --> 01:51:56,410
you could have
your old job back anytime you wanted.

2329
01:51:56,411 --> 01:51:58,946
He did, eh?
Yes.

2330
01:51:59,381 --> 01:52:02,450
Well, it just doesn't
fit in with my plans.

2331
01:52:03,485 --> 01:52:06,087
I lit the Christmas tree lights.

2332
01:52:06,088 --> 01:52:06,822
I'm all ready, Mom.

2333
01:52:06,823 --> 01:52:09,023
We promised to
drop in on these neighbors of ours.

2334
01:52:09,024 --> 01:52:12,227
Their youngster has a crush
on Loretta, and he's sick.

2335
01:52:12,228 --> 01:52:13,295
We won't be gone long.

2336
01:52:13,296 --> 01:52:16,398
I'll give you
my present tonight if you stay, Al.

2337
01:52:16,399 --> 01:52:16,731
Ok.

2338
01:52:16,732 --> 01:52:19,068
There's some beer
in the icebox. Help yourself.

2339
01:52:19,069 --> 01:52:20,337
Thanks.
We'll be right back.

2340
01:52:20,338 --> 01:52:22,471
Now, don't you dare touch those dishes.

2341
01:52:22,472 --> 01:52:23,138
All right.

2342
01:52:23,139 --> 01:52:25,974
You're gonna love my present.

2343
01:52:26,143 --> 01:52:28,444
It's just what you've always wanted.

2344
01:52:28,445 --> 01:52:30,112
Swell, Loretta.

2345
01:52:30,113 --> 01:52:32,548
Shall we go into the living room,
Al?

2346
01:52:32,549 --> 01:52:34,417
Sure. I don't need any help.

2347
01:52:34,418 --> 01:52:37,553
I can find my way
around this house blindfolded.

2348
01:52:41,826 --> 01:52:44,861
Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men

2349
01:52:46,563 --> 01:52:48,498
turn the radio off,
will you, Ruth?

2350
01:52:48,499 --> 01:52:50,001
It's some kids outside.

2351
01:52:50,002 --> 01:52:52,969
The world in solemn stillness lay

2352
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:57,241
to hear the angels sing

2353
01:52:58,476 --> 01:53:01,477
for lo, the days are hastening on

2354
01:53:03,114 --> 01:53:05,982
by prophets seen of old...

2355
01:53:12,625 --> 01:53:15,659
I want you to take me
to the hospital. Now.

2356
01:53:15,728 --> 01:53:16,360
But you said you...

2357
01:53:16,361 --> 01:53:18,362
I said I'd stay
because I didn't want any arguments.

2358
01:53:18,363 --> 01:53:19,663
Now I want to go.

2359
01:53:19,664 --> 01:53:20,832
Loretta will be awfully upset.

2360
01:53:20,833 --> 01:53:22,300
Am I going to have
my life run by Loretta?

2361
01:53:22,301 --> 01:53:24,069
I wouldn't have
been stuck here in the first place

2362
01:53:24,070 --> 01:53:25,037
if it hadn't been
for that kid.

2363
01:53:25,038 --> 01:53:27,105
Now, don't blame her.
I brought you here.

2364
01:53:27,106 --> 01:53:27,805
Then get me out.

2365
01:53:27,806 --> 01:53:30,109
Al, I want
one fair chance to talk to you,

2366
01:53:30,110 --> 01:53:31,177
and you've got to give it to me.

2367
01:53:31,178 --> 01:53:33,977
Ok, you can talk your head off.

2368
01:53:34,513 --> 01:53:35,747
There's nothing you can say

2369
01:53:35,748 --> 01:53:37,717
I ain't said to myself
a thousand times.

2370
01:53:37,718 --> 01:53:38,684
What's the use?

2371
01:53:38,685 --> 01:53:40,185
You don't know what I want to say.

2372
01:53:40,186 --> 01:53:41,754
You don't even think of me.

2373
01:53:41,755 --> 01:53:44,156
Always trying to run
the whole world by yourself.

2374
01:53:44,157 --> 01:53:44,991
Don't pull any tears on me.

2375
01:53:44,992 --> 01:53:46,526
That's why I didn't
want to see you in the first place.

2376
01:53:46,527 --> 01:53:48,528
I'm not pulling
any tears on you.

2377
01:53:48,529 --> 01:53:49,763
You didn't want to see me
because you love me.

2378
01:53:49,764 --> 01:53:52,998
Yet you're ready to let
some fool idea in your head

2379
01:53:53,033 --> 01:53:53,599
wreck both of us.

2380
01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:56,402
Ruth, I'm helpless.
I'd be a drag on you all your life.

2381
01:53:56,403 --> 01:53:58,137
Why don't you let
me decide that?

2382
01:53:58,138 --> 01:54:00,240
Because I'm nobody's lap dog,
that's why.

2383
01:54:00,241 --> 01:54:01,308
You think I want
to live out my life

2384
01:54:01,309 --> 01:54:02,409
knowing every day of the year

2385
01:54:02,410 --> 01:54:03,244
you married me out of pity?

2386
01:54:03,245 --> 01:54:05,312
I got too much pride
for that. I'd rather live alone.

2387
01:54:05,313 --> 01:54:07,681
Pride...
you haven't got any pride!

2388
01:54:07,682 --> 01:54:08,683
You just tell yourself that.

2389
01:54:08,684 --> 01:54:11,618
You haven't got
enough pride to face the truth.

2390
01:54:11,619 --> 01:54:12,652
Virginia told you
about the jobs.

2391
01:54:12,653 --> 01:54:14,154
You could get hundreds of them.

2392
01:54:14,155 --> 01:54:16,657
But you didn't want
to learn one.

2393
01:54:16,658 --> 01:54:17,525
You want to be lonely.

2394
01:54:17,526 --> 01:54:20,827
You want to feel sorry for yourself!
You wanna be helpless!

2395
01:54:21,162 --> 01:54:24,565
You haven't got the pride
to accept being blind like a man.

2396
01:54:25,101 --> 01:54:26,401
Get me out of here! I won't.

2397
01:54:26,402 --> 01:54:27,568
Get in that car
and drive me. I won't.

2398
01:54:27,569 --> 01:54:29,771
You're going to stay here
and listen to me. I won't drive you.

2399
01:54:29,772 --> 01:54:31,806
That's fine.
That's great. That ties it up.

2400
01:54:31,807 --> 01:54:33,341
I could beat
your ears off for saying that.

2401
01:54:33,342 --> 01:54:35,510
But you missed
one card... I may be blind,

2402
01:54:35,511 --> 01:54:37,378
but I know where
the phone is in this house.

2403
01:54:37,379 --> 01:54:39,414
I'm calling a cab!

2404
01:54:39,415 --> 01:54:41,917
Al!

2405
01:54:43,086 --> 01:54:46,087
I don't need any help.
Please leave me alone.

2406
01:54:46,088 --> 01:54:46,887
Oh, Al, don't be hurt.

2407
01:54:46,888 --> 01:54:48,457
I've gotta go get that cab.

2408
01:54:48,458 --> 01:54:50,226
If you go out
of this room now,

2409
01:54:50,227 --> 01:54:52,328
you'll leave me
to stumble all through my life

2410
01:54:52,329 --> 01:54:53,595
the way you just did.

2411
01:54:53,596 --> 01:54:56,466
I don't pity you, Al.
I love you.

2412
01:54:56,467 --> 01:54:58,200
Suppose there never was a war,
darling.

2413
01:54:58,201 --> 01:55:00,603
What if we were married and
one day I got hit by a car

2414
01:55:00,604 --> 01:55:01,604
and was left a cripple...

2415
01:55:01,605 --> 01:55:02,872
would you walk out on me?

2416
01:55:02,873 --> 01:55:04,607
No, you wouldn't.

2417
01:55:04,608 --> 01:55:07,909
Darling, my heart's
been falling over things all year

2418
01:55:08,111 --> 01:55:09,611
because you've been gone.

2419
01:55:09,612 --> 01:55:11,247
I need you, Al.

2420
01:55:11,248 --> 01:55:13,283
Sure you'll need me, too.

2421
01:55:13,284 --> 01:55:14,318
What's wrong with that?

2422
01:55:14,319 --> 01:55:17,386
Why shouldn't
two people need each other?

2423
01:55:17,488 --> 01:55:18,822
I know these last months

2424
01:55:18,823 --> 01:55:20,358
have been awful
for you, sweetheart.

2425
01:55:20,359 --> 01:55:22,792
And it's only
because you're fine and decent

2426
01:55:22,793 --> 01:55:25,195
that you're afraid of being
a burden to me.

2427
01:55:25,196 --> 01:55:28,031
But you won't be, not you, Al.

2428
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:28,899
You can work.

2429
01:55:28,900 --> 01:55:30,234
We can have a family.

2430
01:55:30,235 --> 01:55:32,135
Sure, we'll have a problem,

2431
01:55:32,136 --> 01:55:33,671
but everyone has problems.

2432
01:55:33,672 --> 01:55:34,705
All married couples do.

2433
01:55:34,706 --> 01:55:36,808
People can't let
each other down because of that.

2434
01:55:36,809 --> 01:55:40,043
I don't know what I'll do
if you leave me now.

2435
01:55:40,311 --> 01:55:42,179
I need you too much.

2436
01:55:42,180 --> 01:55:44,182
Ruthie, don't.

2437
01:55:44,183 --> 01:55:46,417
I don't want to make you cry.

2438
01:55:46,418 --> 01:55:49,519
It's just that I was
an ordinary guy before,

2439
01:55:49,689 --> 01:55:51,891
and I wasn't worth you then.

2440
01:55:51,892 --> 01:55:54,893
And now, I'm less than an ordinary guy.

2441
01:55:56,129 --> 01:55:57,396
I can't see.

2442
01:55:57,397 --> 01:56:00,065
Less than ordinary.
You?

2443
01:56:01,634 --> 01:56:03,602
Oh, sweetheart, don't you realize

2444
01:56:03,603 --> 01:56:05,337
that every single
man who's fought

2445
01:56:05,338 --> 01:56:06,606
is no longer ordinary?

2446
01:56:06,607 --> 01:56:09,609
Don't you realize
that millions and millions of people

2447
01:56:09,610 --> 01:56:11,578
were looking
to Guadalcanal every day

2448
01:56:11,579 --> 01:56:13,613
when you were fighting there?

2449
01:56:13,614 --> 01:56:15,281
They were, millions of them.

2450
01:56:15,282 --> 01:56:18,383
Every civilized
person in the world, I guess.

2451
01:56:18,452 --> 01:56:20,686
It wasn't any ordinary guy

2452
01:56:20,687 --> 01:56:22,623
who kept the Japs back that night.

2453
01:56:22,624 --> 01:56:25,925
It was one of the most extraordinary
fellows in the world.

2454
01:56:27,494 --> 01:56:29,962
You...
Al Schmid.

2455
01:57:04,567 --> 01:57:07,802
South Pacific Force
of the United States Pacific Fleet,

2456
01:57:08,571 --> 01:57:09,571
Headquarters of the Commander.

2457
01:57:09,572 --> 01:57:11,673
In the name of the president
of the United States,

2458
01:57:11,674 --> 01:57:14,842
the commander, South Pacific
Area and South Pacific Force,

2459

the Navy Cross to

2460

Private Albert A. Schmid.

2461

United States Marine Corps Reserve,

2462
01:57:22,419 --> 01:57:24,553
for service as set forth
in the following citation.

2463
01:57:24,554 --> 01:57:28,122
"For extraordinary heroism in the
line of his profession as machine-gunner

2464
01:57:29,426 --> 01:57:32,360
"in the action against
a strong Japanese landing force

2466

"Schmid's machine-gun squad
was attacked by the enemy.

2467

"Lacking the protection
of riflemen,

2468

intrepidity, and fortitude

2476
01:57:57,256 --> 01:58:00,056
W.F. Halsey.
Admiral, U.S. Navy.

2477
01:58:14,273 --> 01:58:15,841
I congratulate you, Schmid.

2478
01:58:15,842 --> 01:58:18,509
I'm mighty proud, sir.

2479
01:58:26,252 --> 01:58:28,887
That was wonderful, Al.

2480
01:58:29,523 --> 01:58:32,524
Let's get that cab
with the red top on.

2481
01:58:34,427 --> 01:58:36,796
How do you know it's red?

2482
01:58:36,797 --> 01:58:39,930
Its kind of fuzzy,
but it's red, ain't it?

2483
01:58:41,668 --> 01:58:43,402
Yes, darling, it is red.

2484
01:58:43,403 --> 01:58:46,239
Now, look, honey,
don't get your hopes up.

2485
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:48,140
That doesn't mean
I'm gonna see good again.

2486
01:58:48,141 --> 01:58:51,176
Whichever way it is,
we'll do it together.

2487
01:59:06,094 --> 01:59:08,296
Where to, folks?

2488
01:59:08,397 --> 01:59:10,730
Home.

2489
01:59:13,735 --> 01:59:16,469
America, America...
