:08:00
- What's the matter, Jeffy?
- It won't go down.
:08:02
Oh, my goodness, I told you.
The doctors are right.
:08:13
My, you're so clever.
:08:16
Little me is feeling mighty blue
tonight, Jeff.
:08:19
What's the matter?
:08:20
I heard that you're getting discharged
from the hospital in a week.
:08:23
Yeah.
:08:25
Maybe if I could get away,
you and I might be... I mean...
:08:29
...I could cook for you.
:08:30
Yeah?
:08:32
Jeff, marriage and domesticity,
they frighten you, don't they?
:08:37
- Well, to tell the truth, I...
- No, I know it, I could tell.
:08:40
You're afraid of being tied down.
After the war, I mean.
:08:43
Well, you see, Mary,
I've always been sort of a rolling stone.
:08:47
I was an artist and a painter.
I've never had a home.
:08:49
I guess I am a little afraid
of the idea of...
:08:52
Oh, but, Jeffy boy,
a home is so wonderful.
:08:54
Oh, I know it is, but the thing to do,
Mary, is to wait.
:08:57
After all, who knows?
You may change your mind too.
:09:00
Silly boy. If you only knew
what a difference...
:09:03
...a real home would make.
:09:05
Just to feel you had it
to come back to.
:09:07
Yeah.
:09:08
But you've never known a real home.
:09:10
If you had, you'd feel differently.
:09:13
You know, I was just thinking,
honey boy, that...
:09:17
Oh, dear.
:09:23
Not now. He's asleep.
:09:25
- When are you two getting married?
- Oh, I don't know.
:09:28
I'm afraid he's backing out.
It's because he's never had a home.
:09:31
- He doesn't realize.
- Why don't you do something about it?
:09:34
Well, do what?
:09:35
Well, if he spent Christmas
in a real homey home, he might...
:09:40
That's how Sally Jackson
hooked a Marine last year.
:09:42
Yeah, but whose home?
:09:44
Everybody I know lives
in a hotel or one room.
:09:47
You have a problem.
:09:57
"Alexander Yardley."
:09:59
Why, of course.
