Just for the summer.
I could be a nurse's aide maybe.

:12:12
- All right, Jane.
- Gee, Mother, that's swell.

:12:16
But remember now,
just for the summer.

:12:19
I embrace the code
of the Nurse's Aide.

:12:23
I will do everything in my power
:12:25
to bring comfort
to the ailing and the wounded

:12:27
of whatever color,
race, or creed.

:12:29
I will accept no compensation
and seek no reward,

:12:33
and I will hold as a sacred trust
:12:36
the symbol of mercy
which I wear... the Red Cross.

:12:40
"Tell Jane I'm proud
of my little Florence Nightingale,

:12:44
"and she must hold the thought
that next summer,

:12:47
or the summer after that,
we'll be boating again on the lake."

:12:51
The summer after that...
:12:59
"And tell Brig that her candy is
all the sweeter because she made it.

:13:03
"But I'm worried
about your ration points.

:13:05
You mustn't waste them on me."
:13:07
Waste them on Pop?
:13:10
He's thinking of us, darling.
:13:12
"We get everything
we could possibly want.

:13:15
"And don't tell Fidelia,
but the grub is wonderful.

:13:18
"I'm gaining a pound a week,
and if it doesn't stop soon,

:13:21
"they'll have to make me a general
just for appearance's sake.

:13:25
That's all for tonight, except..."
:13:28
- Except for what, Mother?
- The rest is to me.

:13:32
Mother, I want to hear it.
:13:34
Can't I have
any privacy at all?

:13:36
It's just for Mother, Brig.
Didn't you hear?

:13:39
All right.
:13:43
You can hear it.
It's not that secret, silly.

:13:48
"That's all for tonight,
except to say

:13:50
"that come war, come jungles,
come Japanese,

:13:54
"they're all so easy to take
:13:56
"because at the end of this,
my darling,

:13:59
I know there waits
for me your love."
