Then there is something wrong.
:18:02
Me. I'm wrong.
:18:06
What do you mean? How?
:18:09
Every which way.
For Brad. For his friends.

:18:12
You, your husband,
the others I haven't met yet.

:18:14
The country club.
The town.

:18:17
I'm scared.
I'm so scared, I'm sick.

:18:27
Isn't there a nice baseball game or something
you children can listen to on the radio?

:18:31
- What's going on up there?
- I'm, uh...

:18:34
I'm having a little slip trouble.
:18:36
- Oh. Hurry it up!
- Uh-huh.

:18:45
Looks like somebody
had a lot of martinis.

:18:48
I did.
:18:52
What are you so scared of?
:18:54
It's worst than my first night
in the WAVES.

:18:56
And I'd never been away from home
before up until then.

:18:59
But we were all in the same spot.
:19:01
Everything was happening
to all of us for the first time.

:19:03
Mm. And here you're
the only new girl, is that it?

:19:08
Look. You're Brad's wife
and our friend.

:19:12
We want you here
and we've waited for you.

:19:14
Now, why shouldn't that make you feel
safe and secure instead of being scared?

:19:18
You can't be safe and secure
by just telling yourself to feel it.

:19:22
Unless, maybe, you've got twins
and a job of your own...

:19:25
and grown up with your husband
and friends.

:19:29
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.

:19:32
Blame it on the martinis.
:19:34
You know, counting ice water...
:19:36
we could squeeze two more
out of this shaker.

:19:38
Oh, no. No.
:19:42
I've had more tonight than all the rest
of my life put together.

:19:47
What was it like at home?
:19:49
Or should I mind my own business?
:19:54
Ever read in the picture magazines
about Farmer So-and-so...

:19:57
and his model farm,
kitchen and life?

:19:59
Well, it wasn't us
or anybody we knew.
