She certainly has.
:04:02
And you look different, too.
:04:05
I think it's the uniform I miss.
:04:07
It made you look taller
and more distinguished.

:04:15
I got a regular welcome-home party here,
haven't I?

:04:19
Mr. Parker, it's nice of you to be here.
:04:22
You have a lot to thank Mr. Parker for.
:04:24
That's nothing.
:04:26
He feels after all you've been through,
we owe you something.

:04:28
Mr. Parker is going to take you back
into the factory.

:04:32
I've saved your old job for you.
:04:33
You've done your bit
and your boss isn't going to forget you.

:04:36
Well, I have...
:04:37
I'm so glad to have you back.
:04:41
I guess we'd better go home,
don't you think?

:04:45
All right, I'll take this.
:04:47
I'll see you later, Jim. Goodbye.
:04:52
The old place hasn't changed a bit.
:04:54
Well, let's sit down and have a talk.
:04:58
Tell us all about the war.
:05:02
I won't live that long.
:05:06
What did you think
of Mr. Parker being at the station?

:05:09
Say, Clint. Speaking of Mr. Parker,
will you do something for me?

:05:14
Sure. What is it?
:05:15
Well, will you talk to him for me
and tell him I'm not going to take that job?

:05:20
And why should I tell him that?
:05:23
It's kind of hard to explain.
:05:26
But you see, the Army changes a fellow.
:05:30
It kind of makes you think different.
:05:33
I don't want to spend the rest of my life...
:05:35
answering a factory whistle,
instead of a bugle call...

:05:38
or be cooped up
in a shipping room all day.

:05:41
I want to do something worthwhile.
:05:42
Jim, how can you talk like that?
:05:44
He's tired, Mother. Excited.
:05:47
You don't know what you are saying.
:05:49
But tomorrow morning,
after a good night's sleep...

:05:53
you'll be ready to take up
where you left off at the factory.

:05:56
A soldier of peace
instead of a soldier of war.

:05:59
I don't want to be a soldier of anything.
