1:01:02
You don't need
to labor the point further.
1:01:04
Tiresome, isn't it? Watch.
1:01:06
Presto, change-o.
1:01:11
- Marvelous!
- I'll get it.
1:01:13
I think I'd like
to learn that trick, Mr. Willett.
1:01:15
It might amuse the dodos
at the Army and Navy Club.
1:01:18
I'd be honored, sir.
1:01:19
Good evening, Brig.
Is your mother at home?
1:01:21
That sounds like
your favorite woman.
1:01:23
Mrs. Hawkins... that voice has
haunted me across the Atlantic.
1:01:27
Hello, Emily.
I haven't seen you in ages.
1:01:29
Good evening, Lieutenant Willett.
I didn't know you were back.
1:01:32
I've learned a new trick. The Navy
thought I ought to bring it home
1:01:36
for purposes of morale.
1:01:37
I thought you already
knew all the tricks, Lieutenant.
1:01:39
Touché, as we used to say
in Minneapolis.
1:01:42
And this, I presume,
is General Smollett.
1:01:44
- I've heard so much about you.
- I thought you'd met before.
1:01:48
No, but I envy you, having such
a distinguished man as your guest.
1:01:51
It is I who should be envied.
1:01:53
And it is Colonel Smollett, madam,
and Lieutenant Commander Willett.
1:01:56
I always get
those things mixed up.
1:01:58
It doesn't matter what a man's rank is.
It's his character that counts.
1:02:03
Hello, Jane. What's this I hear
about you working at the hospital?
1:02:07
- I'm a nurse's aide.
- A nurse's aide?
1:02:10
What a revolting idea
for an unmarried girl of your age.
1:02:15
Our whole code of living seems
to be completely ignored these days,
1:02:18
and possibly it's none
of my business.
1:02:20
You're quite right, Mrs. Hawkins.
It is none of your business.
1:02:23
I must say, Lieutenant
or Commander or whatever you are,
1:02:26
the Navy hasn't improved
your manners any.
1:02:28
Please, Tony.
Please, Emily.
1:02:30
It's the colonel's birthday,
and we're trying to have a party.
1:02:35
I'm sorry.
I meant no offense to you, Jane.
1:02:38
I simply feel that
well-brought-up young girls
1:02:40
shouldn't be permitted to have such
intimate contact with all sorts of...
1:02:42
All sorts of boys
who've lost their arms and legs?
1:02:45
They're young, too,
lots of them.
1:02:47
But they weren't too young
for that, Mrs. Hawkins.
1:02:49
And I don't think breeding
entered into it, either.
1:02:52
Bravo, Jane.
1:02:53
I don't care
to debate it with you, Jane.
1:02:56
But surely there are women
who are more suited...
1:02:59
There aren't women more suited.
