:44:02
I amuse you, Kelly?
:44:05
It's too early to tell.
:44:08
Well, we're getting older
by the minute.
:44:11
Would you like to drink that
where it's more comfortable?
:44:19
Whatever your friend's got,
he ought to market it, huh?
:44:24
Well, good night.
:44:26
Wherever did you get wine
at this time of night?
:44:29
Ask me no questions.
:44:33
Haven't tasted anything so good
since the war began.
:44:37
You should've seen that too, Kelly.
It was grand.
:44:41
That was the year Tom Rossiter
and I became engaged.
:44:44
The year the boys went off singing.
:44:46
I begged Tommy to marry me.
:44:48
It wasn't very ladylike,
but I begged him.
:44:51
I loved him so much.
:44:54
But he was noble, he had principal.
:44:57
Said he couldn't risk
leaving me a widow.
:45:00
The second and the third years...
:45:03
...the singing somehow stopped.
:45:06
I still wanted Tommy to marry me.
:45:08
He'd lost an eye by then,
but that didn't matter.
:45:12
But he was nobler than ever.
:45:14
Said it might be an arm next
or a leg.
:45:20
Those were the years of frustration.
:45:24
Then tonight...
:45:26
Tonight I realized
what he feared the most.
:45:30
Losing his sight.
:45:37
Tom Rossiter is right.
:45:40
I couldn't stand
to live with half a man.
:45:44
God, Kelly. It must be
some hideous failing in me.
:45:48
I'm so sick and tired to death
of all the fighting and killing...
:45:52
...and trying to be brave
and patient over a lost cause.
:45:59
So then we come to the fourth year.
