:23:30
Her name's Janice.
:23:32
She was engaged
to a boy named Matt.
:23:36
She found out last week that he was
killed in the invasion of Sicily.
:23:43
She came down to Shelby
to get his stuff...
:23:46
and decided to kill herself.
:23:50
But she couldn't
work up the nerve.
:23:54
All she has now is a bus ticket
back home to Pittsburgh.
:24:08
Janice has only made love
to one boy, Matt, just before he left.
:24:14
Now she's volunteering herself
to all of us...
:24:17
insisting it's what
she wants to do.
:24:20
Of course
we're so guilty and scared...
:24:22
we end up subjecting
this simple, lovely idea...
:24:25
to every kind
of spurious rationale.
:24:32
We wind down before dawn
and sleep.
:24:36
Then just before the morning,
Janice comes quietly...
:24:41
privately to each of us.
