1:17:03
What do you mean, Jane?
1:17:05
I mean about asking
if you can smoke.

1:17:08
Nobody else does that.
1:17:10
And, well, I mean everything.
1:17:13
Is it...
1:17:15
I hope you won't think
I'm being forward,

1:17:19
but is it something
to do with your grandfather?

1:17:22
No, it isn't that.
1:17:24
Although I suppose I've always
been sort of scared of Grandpa.

1:17:27
But why?
1:17:29
I dug up a scoop
of vanilla ice cream for you.

1:17:32
Please pay the cashier and buy
war stamps with your change.

1:17:35
I will.
1:17:41
You see, my father
was a soldier.

1:17:44
He was a colonel
when he died.

1:17:46
I guess all the Smolletts
all the way back were soldiers.

1:17:50
One of them was
with Washington at Yorktown.

1:17:52
Although sometimes I think
Grandpa just made that one up.

1:17:56
I'm sure he didn't.
You ought to be awfully proud.

1:17:59
I'm proud, all right.
1:18:02
But something
went wrong with me.

1:18:07
Mother died when I was born,
so I never knew her.

1:18:12
Of course I never knew her.
1:18:14
That's a shame.
1:18:16
She could paint pretty well...
china and things.

1:18:20
I hope I can show you
her work sometime.

1:18:22
That is, if Grandpa...
1:18:24
If Grandpa what?
1:18:26
Well, if I go home.
1:18:28
You see, I haven't
lived home since West Point.

1:18:30
West Point?
1:18:33
You don't want to hear
all about this, do you?

1:18:35
Not if you don't want me to, Bill.
1:18:38
But I do, of course.
1:18:40
There's no one in the whole world
that I'd rather tell.

1:18:55
Isn't your soda all right?
1:18:57
Yeah. I just don't
feel much like it.
