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.
1:03:01
And women who might help,
like you, think you're doing your part

1:03:05
if you attend a canteen dance
for your own pleasure.

1:03:07
You're tired, honey.
Why don't you go upstairs?

1:03:10
Yes, Mother.
1:03:12
There are just one or two
more things I want to say.

1:03:15
She's not worth it.
1:03:16
We're not V-Girls! We're simply
helping with the wreckage.

1:03:21
Brig, let's go play
with our dolls.

1:03:23
Don't worry, Mrs. Hawkins.
1:03:25
Please don't worry
if our precious well-bred hands

1:03:27
come in contact
with those mangled bodies.

1:03:30
We'll survive!
Even when they don't!

1:03:33
What has happened that you
would permit a child of yours

1:03:36
to talk that way
without so much as a...

1:03:38
Without so much as what?
1:03:40
Thank heaven my child
had the courage to say to you

1:03:42
what should have
been said long ago.

1:03:44
And let me add
that I'm ashamed

1:03:46
that I've put up with you,
that I've even known you.

1:03:51
Well!
1:03:52
From now on,
you needn't know me.

1:03:54
Don't you think for a minute
you have me fooled.

1:03:57
I've not forgotten how you felt
about your husband joining up.
