:13:11
I'm no raving beauty,
heaven knows...

:13:13
but I did so wanna look
my miserable best tonight.

:13:16
The very first time we've gone out together
all dressed up like civilians.

:13:22
And you would be
the one man in the worid...

:13:24
that looks even better out
of uniform than in.

:13:32
Got the jumps, kid?
:13:35
It's been quite a day, that's all.
Quite a change.

:13:38
Out of the navy, out of uniform.
New home, new town, new friends.

:13:42
Oh, I told that blasted girl
I wanted to comb it out soft!

:13:45
It's making me look even more
like a farmhand than I feel.

:13:48
- Easy does it.
- Meeting your friends for the first time.

:13:51
You wouldn't want them
to see me like this.

:13:53
I should hope not.
You be sure to put on a dress.

:13:59
- Hey! My tie.
- You can tie it again.

:14:04
There they are.
:14:09
- Brad, about my dress... you might not like it.
- If you're in it, I'll love it.

:14:14
It's my only one and years old. Remember
there wasn't time today to get a new one...

:14:17
and even years ago,
it wasn't exactly the last word.

:14:21
That was the last word.
Hurry up.

:14:24
Which ones are they?
I wanna have it right.

:14:26
Rita and George Phipps.
We all grew up together.

:14:29
He teaches at the high school,
they have twins...

:14:31
and she just got a job
writing for the radio.

:14:33
Did you like her very much...
when you grew up together, I mean.

:14:36
Rita and George were engaged
at the age of five by swapping beetles.

:14:39
- She was never my type.
- What is your type?

:14:41
Fat, squat, little brunettes
with mustaches.

:14:44
Get going... and take another whack
at that hair.
