:12:00
When they were healed,
and being sent back to the Front...
:12:02
they'd come looking for me to spend
their last nights of leave with them.
:12:06
Little hotel rooms.
:12:08
Bed and breakfast for a guinea.
:12:11
I paid the guinea myself,
more often than not.
:12:16
But I couldn't say no to them, could I?
:12:19
I'd just lost my husband at Tobruk.
:12:21
And I was overwhelmed with tenderness
for all dying men.
:12:30
As I say, I'm grotesquely sentimental.
:12:37
- What on earth are you doing to your hair?
- I'm turning it red.
:12:40
I'm going
to one of Charlie Madison's dos tonight.
:12:43
Yes. I was asked to that one.
:12:46
Does it require red hair?
:12:48
Do come, love.
Charlie lays on smashing food.
:12:52
All sorts of meats, fruit, real cream.
:12:55
Things we haven't seen
in England for years.
:12:57
You'll get a new dress out of it.
Have you been to Madison's room?
:13:01
- Nope.
- You've just got to see it.
:13:04
It's the swankiest shop in town.
:13:05
He's got everything up there
but the crown jewels.
:13:14
Here, look at this.
:13:17
You can't see this at Harrods.
:13:19
That's nylon, love. And this is pure silk.
:13:22
I'd show you my new dress,
but I don't want the others to see.
:13:25
It's Bonwit Tellers.
You've heard of that, I imagine.
:13:28
You mean he actually supplies you
with a wardrobe?
:13:30
Charlie dresses you proper.
:13:32
Americans don't like to see their women
in uniforms.
:13:36
But it all ends in someone's bed,
doesn't it?
:13:38
I mean, that's the point, isn't it?
:13:40
Look who's talking after
that lurid confession you've just made.
:13:45
Sorry. I am a prig, at that.
:13:49
I feel rather tender towards
the poor beggars myself.
:13:52
I don't want to feel tender
towards anyone.
:13:55
Especially soldiers.
:13:58
I've lost a husband, a father,
and a brother in this war.
