:36:06
Why don't you tell me about it?
:36:08
Tell me the story.
:36:09
There's always a story.
:36:11
You don't leave a person anything, do you?
:36:31
Come back here, Sergeant.
I'll tell you the story.

:36:37
You can take it back
to the barracks with you.

:36:45
I'd only been married to Dana two years
when I found out he was cheating.

:36:50
But by that time, I was pregnant.
:36:52
I thought I had something to hope for.
:36:54
I was almost happy
the night the pains began.

:36:58
I remember
Dana was going to an officers' conference.

:37:01
I told him to get home early,
to bring the doctor.

:37:03
He might have, if his conference
hadn't been with a hatcheck girl.

:37:08
He was drunk when he came in at 5:00 a.m.
:37:10
I was lying on the floor.
:37:12
I begged him to go for the doctor,
but he fell on the couch and passed out.

:37:17
The baby was born about an hour later.
:37:20
Of course it was dead.
:37:22
It was a boy.
:37:24
But they worked over me at the hospital,
fixed me up fine.

:37:26
They even took my appendix out,
threw that in free.

:37:29
Karen.
:37:30
And one more thing: No more children.
:37:35
Sure, I went out with men after that.
And if I'd ever found one that--

:37:39
Karen, listen to me, listen.
:37:44
I know.
:37:47
Until I met you,
I didn't think it was possible either.
