1:06:03
You didn't expect to find another
front here at home, did you?

1:06:06
But our side won...
victory over gas power.

1:06:10
- How's Jane?
- She's fine.

1:06:13
Her thinking is as clear as a bell.
How am I, why don't you ask?

1:06:17
Trying to figure out
what sacrifices you can make?

1:06:20
Don't, Tony.
1:06:21
After all you've been through,
to have to listen to you berate yourself.

1:06:26
You wouldn't sit down and let me
talk for a minute, would you?

1:06:30
All right.
1:06:32
But I won't promise to listen.
1:06:35
What's your guess
as to why I joined the Navy?

1:06:37
'Cause you want to do
your part, just the way Tim did.

1:06:41
Don't kid yourself.
I'm no Tim.

1:06:42
I joined up because Top Hat
suddenly seemed a little silly

1:06:47
and I wanted to have
some fun and excitement.

1:06:50
I laughed up my sleeve
at all the fellows

1:06:52
who were giving out
with noble motives,

1:06:54
the Four Freedoms,
and all the rest of it,

1:06:56
but I found out that
it all added up

1:06:59
to a simple corny phrase
that I couldn't laugh off...

1:07:04
"Home sweet home."
1:07:06
- I know.
- You do know?

1:07:11
You're doing a swell job here
at home holding things together.

1:07:15
Those daughters of yours,
they're pretty wonderful.

1:07:18
I know Tim's going to be
mighty pleased with them.

1:07:21
I imagine he'll be a bit surprised
to see how Jane grew up

1:07:24
without so much
as a by-your-leave.

1:07:26
Yes, she grew up
while Mother knitted.

1:07:28
Or worse still,
while Mother didn't even knit.

1:07:31
That's the point, Tony.
Can't you see it?

1:07:35
Boy, I see what you mean now
about not listening.

1:07:38
- I guess I was pretty dull.
- All right, laugh at me.

1:07:41
But it's settled in my mind
once and for all.

1:07:44
I have a husband who went off
to fight for this home and for me...

1:07:47
that's what you said.
1:07:48
And I have children who had
courage and intelligence

1:07:51
while their mother
lived in a dream world.

1:07:52
I've come out of it.
1:07:54
I buy your
"Home sweet home" idea,

1:07:56
but I want
to do something about it.

1:07:59
Well, say something.
