:13:01
- I was gonna come back here.
- Sorry, Eddie. I haven't anything for you.

:13:05
What?
:13:06
Well, wait a minute.
Maybe I'm in the wrong garage.

:13:10
What was that line about my job
always waiting for me?

:13:13
Times have changed. That boy over there
has been working almost two years.

:13:16
What do you want me to do?
Can him just because you came back?

:13:21
No.
:13:23
No, I couldn't ask you
to do that, could I?

:13:26
All right. Thanks.
:13:29
Left, I had a good job
And I left, left

:13:33
Don't tell me you won't be with us.
:13:35
If you brought a band and a gun,
you might've got the job.

:13:38
I don't need any gun, you...
:13:42
Two for one.
:13:47
Back in this country,
the boys who had returned from overseas...

:13:51
...begin to find out that the world has moved
on during the time they spent in France.

:13:56
Sorry, buddy. Nothing doing.
:13:58
Everywhere things have changed,
but particularly in New York.

:14:01
The old Broadway is only a memory,
gone are many of the famous landmarks.

:14:06
For already, America is feeling
the effects of Prohibition.

:14:10
There's a concentrated effort at
readjustment to normal peacetime activity...

:14:14
...but unemployment, coming in the wake
of the wartime boom...

:14:17
...is beginning to grip the country.
:14:19
The soldiers find they've returned to face,
on a different front, the same old struggle:

:14:23
The struggle to survive.
:14:31
Yes, sir, where to?
:14:33
Where to?
:14:34
- How about a flat rate back to France?
- Oh, hi, Eddie.

:14:38
How are you?
:14:39
- You didn't land yourself no job, huh?
- Somebody must've told you.

:14:43
No. I figured that all out by myself.
:14:45
You know, on account of your face.
You look kind of tired.

:14:48
I am tired, Danny.
Tired of being pushed around.

:14:51
Tired of having doors slammed in my face.
Tired of being another guy back from France.

:14:55
Take it easy, Eddie. Take it easy.
:14:57
I can't, Danny. I can't.
:14:59
I can't go around shadowboxing anymore.
I gotta find something to do.
