:06:01
Why?
Are things that tough at the Pentagon?
:06:03
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
:06:06
Thank you.
:06:08
I'd hate to tell you how long it's been
since anybody did that for me.
:06:11
There was a captain I knew in the army
used to do it for his wife all the time.
:06:14
How about some eggs?
:06:15
Yes, ma'am. Just any style at all. Thank you.
:06:19
- What's your name, soldier?
- Walter Gulick.
:06:22
You know, as nice and homey
as this place is...
:06:24
I thought maybe you were a...
:06:27
- Mrs. Grogan?
- That's what I was getting at.
:06:30
Well, not yet, Walter.
:06:31
You see, actually, I'm Mr. Grogan's fiancée.
:06:42
You haven't told me
why you wanted to see Mr. Grogan.
:06:46
Well, for one reason,
I could use a job for a few days.
:06:50
Fresh out of the army and dead broke?
:06:52
I'm afraid that's about the size of it.
:06:54
You see, I got in a crap game
with my separation pay...
:06:56
and it got separated from me, you know.
:06:58
- How do you happen to know Mr. Grogan?
- Well, I don't really.
:07:01
It's a funny thing, though,
all my life I've always wanted to come here.
:07:05
Here?
:07:07
- To Cream Valley?
- Oh, yes.
:07:09
- I've thought about it quite a lot.
- I see.
:07:12
Well, I don't want to sound cynical
or anything, Walter, but why?
:07:17
- Well, I was born here in Cream Valley.
- You're kidding.
:07:20
Nobody was born in Cream Valley,
except Rip Van Winkle.
:07:24
And occasionally you see a robin's egg.
:07:27
My mother and father are buried here.
:07:30
- I'm sorry.
- That's me and my folks there.
:07:34
I was only 14 months old
when they passed away.
:07:37
I was raised in Lowbridge, Kentucky,
with an aunt.
:07:39
Oh, Kentucky, well.
:07:41
Of course, my stopping off here
doesn't mean...
:07:43
that I don't have plans for what I want to do.
:07:44
All the time I was working in that motor pool
in Okinawa...
:07:47
I was just looking forward
to the time when I could...
:07:49
own my own garage in someplace
where I really belonged, you know?
:07:51
I was just thinking, if Mr. Grogan
could use a mechanic around here...
:07:55
it would be like coming home.
:07:57
- You think there's a chance that...
- I wouldn't count on it, Walter.
