UNTIL THE END OF TIME
Form in the hall.
Here.
Form in the hall.
Right here.
I do not know what they did on the day of victory,
but for whatever it is, they are here.
They are discharged and will soon be at home.
What the corporal gives them is their program,
with your group and where they have to go.
In group one, introduce yourself.
McArnold, Marks, Harding, Ramsey,
Curren, Tabeshaw, Conti, Harper, Forrest...
- First name? - Tabeshaw, William J. 840067.
Guadalcanal, Kwajalein,
- Saipan e lwo Jima, right? - That's.
Silver Star, Purple Heart. Hospitalized in Pearl and Balboa.
With a silver plate on the skull.
They put it to me to grab my brain.
It's okay?
With that money I will not miss for a coffee.
- First name? - Harper, Clifford W.
976955.
The same history as him.
We have been together from the camp. Three years.
And 9 months. Four Combat Stars and the Silver Star.
We parted when he let himself be shot.
Admit it, I was a hero and you were a coward.
As soon as you have your file, it happened to Rehabilitation.
Will it return to the trucks?
With two years of military police? I'm going to be a policeman.
He has a rehabilitation officer.
Have your address, just in case.
You will see that things have changed.
I do not want help I will buy a farm.
The farms change little.
Then go to the Red Cross.
It is important, it is where the pension is requested.
The silver plate entitles you to one.
I'm not going to make anyone pay.
So many say, but request it anyway.
Did you sign this insurance when you entered?
You have a year and a half to change the policy.
Meanwhile, continue paying the premium.
Do not worry, I will.
He dropped out of college during the first year, huh?
- After Pearl Harbor. - He's coming back, I suppose.
Well, I had not thought about it.
We'll see...
He worked with his father in construction, right?
To get in shape for football.
I could study engineering.
I want to get home first.
Me too, partner.
- Tabeshaw. - Yes
Total: 455.97.
Delays of 387.42
plus the trip to Stinking Creek, New Mexico, 68.55.
You are given 100 dollars today.
The second part will be sent to you within a month.
- And the third one month later. - Not to spend it all at once.
- That's the idea, Corporal. - Tell him
Are you kidding?
Tabeshaw
Your certificate of discharge and your discharge with honors.
- Thank you. - Good luck, Tabeshaw.
LOS ANGELES STATION PROHIBITED THE STEP
Stay around
Hi, Cliff.
Hi. What is your name?
I'm Freddie Stewart.
Freddie Stewart?
The last time I saw you, you were that tall.
Now I'm that tall.
Of course.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Hello!
Your parents are not here
Your mother is shopping with mine.
It will make them angry when they know that you have returned
of the war and they were not.
Welcome home.
How do you want to be called? "Skin collar" or "devil"?
Marine would be fine. Only marine.
Okay, marine. I'm Helen Ingersoll. We're neighbors.
And the Crenshaw?
They went north three years ago.
We were lucky, when they moved Dad we did not have a house.
He is production manager at Lockheed and we had the right to...
But I'm bored, right?
No, follow.
I'm interested in people. And more neighbors.
We will be for a long time.
According to dad, the future is in California.
It says that 6 out of 10 veterans will come here
After the war.
Leave your father. Do not have your own ideas?
For a Marine, I have some great ones.
I'll lend you a hand?
No thanks. Bye.
Voucher. Goodbye.

DANGER DO NOT PASS
RENTAL IS PAYABLE IN ADVANCE
DEAR FOR AND MOM: I FEEL THAT MY SURPRISE WILL FASTIDIATE.
I'M GOING TO SEE FRIENDS. I'M BACK AT LAS 6. I WANT YOU, CLIFF.
- What do you want friend? - No friend,
Four-eyes float.
Cliff!
Cliff Harper!
Cliff, you're back. You have returned from there.
- Sure, Scuffy. - Go, go.
hears.
You have done well, friend. It has gone very well.
And you. When I left, you had a candy store
- And ice cream. - La guerre, friend.
It's war in French. War.
With rationing and alcohol licenses,
I would have been a fool not to take advantage of it.
Very good. Give me a rum with Coca-Cola.
Are you whole?
Yes sir. As well equipped as the day we won the title.
I will never forget.
No friend.
Your money here is not worth it. See you tomorrow.
Well thanks.
I'm glad to see you, friend.
Do you see your picture?
Where did you get it?
I asked your mother.
I'm with Pinky!
That he is not only a lieutenant,
distinguished as a pilot,
It is also there.
Pinky, look what the Marines have returned.
- Cliff! - Hello!
Are you at home! When have you arrived?
I just got off the train.
- This is Cliff Harper. - Hello.
Some friends, fed up with my stories.
Sit down.
Thank you.
How did it go, Cliff?
It has not gone badly for me. How has it been for you?
Up well, but when I got back to earth I almost went crazy.
- Insurance. - Watch out,
you get maudlin
- Pat Ruscomb. Cliff Harper. - Hello.
Do not be fooled by the uniform. It is civil.
- Definitive low? - Temporary
While the peace lasts. If another war starts, I resign.
I could quit now, but I like it.
I was thinking about the Navy
Before the war. It's mine.
- Where do they send you? - They put a freighter in service
where I want to be
I wear this because my clothes do not work for me.
Will you go back to school?
I do not know.
Maybe.
I'll miss that. But I will come more to see you
and take something. Of that I'm sure.
We Dance?
Voucher.
Are you with Pinky?
With nobody.
Did not Pinky bring you?
I have come alone.
But I will take you home.
You know, huh?
You told me.
When?
When you've sat next to me
Do you want to say goodbye to them?
I'll say goodbye tomorrow.
Here it is.
Very elegant, but it's my house.
My partner is an official.
Not bad.
I thought I would go well
to have someone always around here.
But he's been in Washington for three months.
That leaves you more space.
You are from here?
Yes.
Happy to have returned?
Being marine is hard, huh?
Yes.
Well OK.
Now what are we talking about?
I do not speak much.
Come here.
And if I do not want?
Yes, what do you want.
I liked it.
I have to tell you something.
It is true.
As soon as I saw you... It's curious,
I was looking forward to hug you.
Do not be afraid.
It is not love.
I don `t believe.
What is it?
Many things.
Become older
Six, eight or ten months in the Pacific.
A place with a jukebox.
And a room without many people.
All those things.
With half enough.
You are very mature
for your age.
Do not laugh at me.
Forgives.
Who is Flash Gordon?
His name is John Ruscomb,
first lieutenant of the Air Force.
Who?
My husband.
If you did not have the picture there,
I would not have minded if you were married.
But like that, I did not like myself and I do not like you.
Hurrah.
Where is?
You...
They buried in France.
They told me where three weeks ago.
The...
You feel it.
I'm sorry too.
Sit down.
I met John about three years ago.
She was a waitress in the canteen and he was a cadet.
It was instantaneous.
I accompanied him until he had his wings and his destiny abroad.
And there he went,
to the wild blue sky...
It's very corny, but it's true.
That's why it's corny, because it happens to many.
His last letter came after his second mission.
He was killed in the third.
He died about fourteen months ago.
They sent me a package with some of their stuff,
but I did not open it
I sent it to his family.
They live in Louisville.
They should decorate the widows.
You are a charm.
We will see each other again.
I want to give you a kiss,
but there are too many people.
Goodbye, Cliff.
Goodbye, Pat.
- Cliff! - Dad!
- How are you, son? - All right.
- Where were you? - I left you a note.
We called Scuffy's, but you were not.
We almost go crazy waiting for you. You should have told us.
I wanted to surprise you.
- You're fine. - And I'm fine.
Amy! Amy! Is here!
She's been crying since we got home.
- You imagine? - Cliff!
My son, my son.
- You're home, thank God. - Calm down, mom.
It's here to stay. Be good and for now.
- You are skinny. - Thin?
It weighs 14 kilos more than when it left.
I felt terrible seeing your note.
He would have killed me for having gone shopping,
but we have a barbecue tonight.
It was a bit anguishing not to find anyone at home.
What do you think, Cliff? Do you find it the same?
It's very good, mom.
- Are not you tired from the trip? - Do not.
You are old enough to be able with this.
I have saved it for your return. You tell me.
Clifford!
Do you want to get sick?
The women do not understand the soldiers.
I'm glad to have you back.
And I have returned.
I suppose you'll want to eat homemade food.
Sure, mom. But I have so much to tell you.
I do not know where to start. Where I was and...
Leave it alone. I know you do not want to talk about that.
How glad I am to have you here.
Go prepare to eat.
The guests will arrive.
- Is it the bag you wanted? - Yes
Clear.
That's. So that such?
- How are you, dad? - Good son. All right.
If you give me one of these and I have this one, I can close. You see?
Do you want to drink something, Clifford?
- No, thanks, mom. - You're welcome, dear.
The Marines do not play gin?
No, Mr. Ingersoll. Sometimes poker.
In the last war, one of the company,
his name was Scottie Blodgett,
lost $ 60,000 to the dice in Paris.
What's wrong with you in this war?
- Nobody plays? - A little yes, I suppose.
- I left a note. - To who?
To Tommy Hendricks. It's going to take me to the dance.
- He is her boyfriend. - Dad!
- Do you want to invite me to have a drink? - Yes ma'am.
- How about one? - You are safe.
- I have three. - You're fourteen.
Despite what your father says, this is how you play.
- I take it alone. - You do not lower it?
Alone.
- Hello. - Where were you?
I could not start the car. Well, the first time.
Cliff, Tommy Hendricks.
- Hi, Tommy. - How are you Sir?
Are we on time?
Easy, Tommy. I'm going to need a jacket.
Tommy, can you go get her?
- Clear. - Thank you.
We could be more comfortable.
Do you smoke?
I'm dying for one, but my father... You know.
Yes, I know.
Mine were equal to your age.
I'm not that young.
This needs oil.
What you need is to be used.
I've been waiting for it for three years, with or without oil.
Has it been hard?
The what?
The war, you know.
Yes, tomorrow I put oil.
Tomorrow is Sunday.
- Did you start today in the morning? - Sure, it started...
- We go to the beach? - Tomorrow I'll sleep.
I think I can not take this anymore.
I 'm getting dizzy.
Are not Marines worth to land and sea?
I am a former marine.
- Ten. - Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Me too, Tommy. Have a good time.
- Of course sir. - Yes sir.
See you tomorrow.
I'm a clumsy.
I will not tell anybody.
I've seen you with Helen in the rocking chair.
Yes.
- The Ingersoll are good people. - Yes
Helen knows how to cook and sew and is very good at studying...
- How do you do sock? - Start second
and it is a good brotherhood.
- Amy, honey. - Yes Dear?
- We made a rubber. - Fantastic.
We will continue talking, son.
We have so much to talk about.
- What's up, son? - I'm going to the cot.
Good son. It have been a long day.
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
- Goodbye everybody. - See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow mom. - See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow.
The boy is exhausted.
Do you remember when we came back? We celebrated it for three days.
What if I remember?
And we get to number one,
to hear the song that has risen to the top.
And it's good
Until the end of time,
as long as there are stars in the sky,
as long as there are springs and a bird that sings,
I will continue to love you.
Until the end of time,
while the roses bloom in May,
my love for you
it will be deeper
every day that passes.
Until the wells dry
and all the mountains disappear,
I will be by your side, to take care of you,
in laughter and in tears.
Accept the sweet surrender of my heart...
- Hello. - Hello, sailor.
What's up?
We had a barbecue. A welcome party
I had too. What a mess.
Some, quiet to not offend me, and others
afraid that I would offend them.
Friend, let's admit it.
Nobody is going to listen to us.
We have to stay and tell us what we did.
Clear.
Meanwhile, let's do something cheerful. We are going to skate?
I have not been a skater for four years.
I'm meeting Pat.
What Pat?
The girl you left without saying goodbye.
- Oh, that girl. - Find someone.
- I'll pick you up in an hour. - Someone will be there. Goodbye.
- How good-bye? I'll pick you up. - It's for yesterday.
Hey, can you skate?
Do you know how to skate?
Well of course.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello!
- Accompanied, as he said. - Shut up. It's cute
Hey, were not you going to the beach with me?
I'm sorry, Tommy.
Something very important has come up and I can not go.
And put on some clothes!
He is a kid.
- Helen Ingersoll, Pat Ruscomb. - Hello.
Sit down
- Let's go to Westwood? - Seem right.
- What about you? - Yes sir.
- Where are the skates taken? - Here.
- I'm coming. - For me size 3, for artistic.
You also like Sonja Heine?
I do not care. Size 6
I'm with you. Now we bring you the wings.
Some of the size 3, for artistic,
and others of girl size 6.
For me the 10, and the lord?
Of the 11, for artistic. I'm one of those.
The girls get along well.
Pat knows how to take care of herself.
Skip the details. Is it or is it not your girl?
Pat is Johnny's only.
that is, it is not yours.
I, for all the devils, do not count at all.
Have
It's fantastic.
This you will know how to do it.
Hi guys.
Do you skate a lot, Mrs. Ruscomb?
Yes and no.
Be careful when entering the ice, it can hurt yourself.
I'm fine.
May one help Mrs. Ruscomb.
That's me.
They laugh because I sit down to skate.
How nice.
Now I know why I feel old.
Come on, grandma.
- He does not need help. - Look at me.
A coffee?
Two coffees, please.
Where did you learn?
In a Wisconsin town you will not know.
Which? I'll look for it on the map.
- Ready? - Ready.
- Chipewwa Falls. - Chipewwa Falls.
- I will remember. - With so much to remember...
I'm forgetting things to make room. You should try.
Someday I will.
In a river or in a lake?
A river. Full of logs.
Someone who knows?
Of trunks that have remained soaked.
They are in the water without going anywhere.
Then I do know him.
Forgive me a moment.
Hello, sweet.
Cover me, marine. The tremors enter me.
Come on, tremble.
Thank you.
Is there someone watching?
And what if they look?
You are better?
The doctors say they will pass.
As soon as you get home, you'll be better.
I will not go home.
My parents would go crazy with me like that.
I could not stand it.
Where do you live, soldier?
Boise, Idaho.
I have a 21-day leave from the hospital.
I have already spent five.
I'd better return.
Your fear of returning home reminds me of my first dance.
My mother made me a dress and it seemed so horrible to me
that every time a boy came to get me to dance
I was afraid to leave.
I was afraid that people would laugh.
"Patricia," I told myself.
"It's your first dance and it's going to be the last
if you do not stop being so ridiculous
and you beat yourself, right now. "
While I have this discussion, a boy approaches
and take the one from my side.
Without knowing what I was doing, I grabbed him and started dancing.
From there it was easy.
Do you think I'll beat this dancing?
What I say is what else they see.
And if they do not like it, let them kill each other.
Clear.
Let them kill each other
Thank you.
You are good people.
That's how we are, attention with a smile.
- You're good? - Yes
All right.
I hope you go home.
- You've handled it very well. - It's nice.
- The coffee is cold. - I'm going to ask for others.
Does not matter. We are going to skate.
Come on son! Above! For them! On deck!
- Dad! - It's a lovely morning.
God is in heaven, everything is fine.
Leave it alone.
Are you going to spend the day with the pillow?
There is a world to conquer.
- It's very early. - You have to read the mail.
As usual.
We have your veteran's chalet ready for you today.
Sign up today around the world for veterans.
Everything has to be today. And the veterans associations!
Watch out. Some can be bad.
The American War Patriots?
I do not know them, but let me know
- If you want to join them. - I don `t believe...
Go suit.
How elegant.
You have loaded it to my account.
I still have money, dad. 920 turkeys
I do not need your money. But thanks.
But if you do not start with something, the money does not last
forever. Now you know.
And the University? Have you decided?
I have decided one thing, dad.
And it is not deciding anything.
At the moment
Clear. Sure, Cliff.
It was just to tell you.
Waffles!
Mom, good.
You always liked them.
I remember one night...
I do not know where it was, it was a trench.
You do not know what a trench is,
but imagine three types in a cabin.
It was raining and hot and...
Not because it was unpleasant, it stunk.
I tried to think of something
let me forget it.
And just like that, I thought about your waffles.
Son, do not talk about that. You eat.
Whoever wants another war is crazy.
The trenches did stink.
Clifford, do not live in the past.
I do not live in the past, mom. Alone...
- What is that? - My past!
And they say:
Are not you happy about being single?
And that song is not far away
- To err. - Bill!
- Hi partner. - The boy from Kwajalein.
- In the flesh. How are you? - All good.
- Come, I'll introduce you to my mother. - They know you here.
Much must be dug to have this trench.
Mom, my friend Bill Tabeshaw. Bill, my mother.
- Enchanted, Bill. - Thank you. Nice to meet you.
Cliff is having breakfast. Do you want a waffle?
No thanks. But a cup of coffee.
- Very good. - Keep eating.
Account. Where have you been and how is that metal
- From your skull? - I like it more than my head.
How about?
Too much for Stinking Creek.
Is nothing. Only a couple of months of pay.
Mom, come listen to the cabin boy.
Thank Mrs.
What happened to you in San Diego?
Remember I went to have a beer?
Yes.
When I came back I found some...
Some girls who went to Tijuana.
You already know me.
There some promoters take me to play poker.
They would see the badge and I have pasta, so I was attentive.
I took out 2,100 turkeys.
Do you still have them?
And I will not let them go. I'm going by train tonight.
If they leave you, with that look.
The next morning I bought a ranch to raise cattle.
Hey, what's your plan for today?
- You tell me. - I have to pay a visit.
Has a sister?
No, he was with me at the hospital.
When he left, he gave me a silver dollar to give me luck.
It's 10 percent.
Are you going to stay there boring my mother
or are we going to cheer up?
Mrs. If you go to Stinking Creek...
Thanks, Bill. I do not think I'll go.
I wish my mother had said the same.
- Hello. - Hey, you're great.
Without brass buttons.
You seem like a dream
The cowboy Bill Tabeshaw. Helen Ingersoll.
- Hello Bill. - Miss Ingersoll.
What do you do?
What every day. Wait.
Do not you have more to do?
Do you want a tour of the city with a first-class driver?
When the Marines decide, you decide.
Do you know South Orlando Street?
I can not do it. I can not, it hurts.
Come on, Perry. Try again.
- We take it? - You would not have much fun.
Sure, Bill. Go you
- Good girl. - Thank you Grandpa.
Ahead.
Son, you have a visit.
- Bill! - How are you, partner?
Well, cowboy.
Mom, it's my hospital partner. Of the next bed.
Charmed.
Gunny, the former Marine Bill Tabeshaw.
Hi.
- Gunny Watrous, from Rehabilitation. - Charmed.
Cliff Harper, Mrs. Kincheloe.
- Charmed. - Sargeant.
- Charmed. - Perry Kincheloe.
- Hi, Perry. - Hello.
Hello, sergeant. Hi, Perry.
- It's my little boy, James. - Hello.
Are we going to train?
First heat with the rope.
Clear. I'm going to crush her.
Come on, James. They are always welcome here.
Do not stop coming.
- Thank you. - We'll be back, ma'am.
I remember seeing his history in the office.
I wrote him a letter offering him help.
I did not get an answer.
The one of letters that arrive after the low one.
We all want to help.
I thought letters were a lost art.
Well, I'm leaving. I'll spend next week, Perry.
Bye.
If you need advice, Harper,
look for that letter in the trash
If I do not know anything about you, I will send you another one.
You are lined
- And this why? - It's your part.
I took out your silver dollar and rubbed it until 2,100 turkeys appeared.
Thanks, Bill, but I do not need it.
I have another amulet.
Well, to see it. I will put it to produce.
This one is for me
The boy is with the rope.
And it's pretty good
The young Perry.
This year we work the resistance.
The one that comes the rhythm.
You will have gained weight.
We will work until 16. I debuted at 16.
And it will be ready.
Your shoulders are like yours.
When I put some more meat,
If it's not crystal, it will be as good as me.
In this family there must be a boxer.
You will not try to live through it, right?
Why not? I have no life left.
Do not come with those.
Do as in the hospital. Put them on
First, they kill me. Second, and with them put what?
Cowboy, you do not know what I feel
by letting my mother see me like that.
I get sick when you have to sit down
or get in bed
I am 21 years old and I am dead.
Look, silly.
Today I'm going to Stinking Creek.
But when I come back, I want to see you with those legs
as if you were born with them.
Ya, Bill. It's what that man said.
Good trip.
Semper fidelis.
- Come whenever you want. - I'll come, Perry.
I'll be here.
I owe it to Perry. I asked for it at the hospital.
Are you sure?
Ma'am, it's 200 dollars. If not, I would not give them to you.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Mrs. Kincheloe. - Goodbye, Mr. Harper.
- What's up friends? - Hi, Scuffy.
Hi, Cliff. What are you going to drink?
Rum with Coca-Cola.
Well, tell him what you want.
The same for me, Scuffy.
Please, you already know the laws.
Come on, Scuffy, I turned 18 in March.
Well, come back in three years
with a birth certificate. Now there is no rum.
Burbon with ginger ale.
Burbon, rum with Coca-Cola and in three years.
You know, Bill.
That Perry, he's never going to put his legs.
And what he says makes sense.
When I left him in the hospital, he was fine.
It would be because there were others with the same problem.
The war was not over.
Like when you get to the beach.
We were a team, all together.
You trusted the one next door. You did not know where you were going,
but we were together, it did not matter.
Now we are civilians.
We are individuals. No one tells us what to do or when.
We're alone. Perry, you, me... Everyone.
We did not stop asking and now we have it.
What do you do?
I have taken you where you wanted. It's my turn.
What's your turn?
Who is the lucky one?
- No, I'm a stick. - Come on, Cliff.
Voucher.
Our best Coca-Cola without rum.
I need courage
Come on, I'll update you.
Cliff Harper, how quiet you were.
At your side the others are ducks.
- If you had seen me as a young man... - one more.
Do you have coins?
- It's not bad at all. - Yes sir. You are in the wave.
You're next, Bill.
He's old, leave him with his cup.
I have not put that one.
They will have overtaken you.
- Hello Pat. - Hello.
- You dance well. - With a girl I give the pego.
You're going to run out, all afternoon like this.
- I have not been there all afternoon. - Where were you?
Making a visit
Someone who knows?
- Better not. - You never know.
And today at night?
I can not tonight.
I like your new clothes.
- I'll get used to it. - Do you like my dress?
I can only see your eyes.
- Are you sure tonight? - Pretty sure.
- Hello Pat. - Very safe.
Hi. Captain Winthrop, the former Marine Harper.
- Charmed. - Captain.
Bye.
- Who is that sweetie? - My best friend.
Your best friend is your mother.
- Forgives. - Where are you going?
I had another commitment.
Thanks for being a driver.
Well, I have to go.
Why are you angry?
When it passes, write me a letter.
And when you get rid of your problem.
Pay attention to me and change that money in traveler's checks.
Nothing happens.
Will it reach the station?
Well, yesterday it arrived.
Do not give up, Bill.
Take care, Clifford. Be good.
Mom, come on!
The Carters can wait.
- Clifford, where were you? - Outside.
Do not you even say hello, son?
Forgives. Goodnight.
That's better. Call your mother if you do not come.
Do not make her worry so much.
I'm sorry, Mom. I did not think.
It's one of your problems, you do not think much.
Leave me alone, mom.
- Are you sick, Clifford? - I'm not well.
We want to talk to you for a moment.
Clear.
Start, honey.
Cliff,
Your mother and I do not see you much lately.
We wanted to ask you where you've been...
and if you are happy.
What your father means
- We're very disappointed. - Why?
Well, you come home, you eat something and you go.
And you'll be wandering around with guys
like Tabeshaw and...
- I think it's not the company... - Is my partner. Is...
Cliff!
Your mother means that since your return
we could not...
Well, it's not like in the old days.
It will be because that was three and a half years ago.
You are angry because I have not returned to study
and because I have not done anything, but I'm not ready yet.
But we have other plans. For your present and your future.
The plans for my future should be made by me.
I take something and go to bed.
You have a plate in the fridge, son.
If you feel like it, come to the Carter house.
Thank you.
- You're good? - If I am fine.
Sorry.
I must be like a Cuba.
You're good.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
I've had a great time.
Agent, a man follows me.
Smoke a cigar
Have a drink
Well, do something.
I told you I was going to be busy.
- And you're busy. - And I've been busy.
What do you want to see me for?
- I can tell you in a minute. - All right.
I'll stop you
You are a fulana.
You only have 40 seconds left.
Hot coffee.
If I wanted it, I would.
You still owe me 40 seconds.
I do not owe you anything.
Except the coffee.
Tell me how much it is and I pay you and you can leave.
Take it. I'll tell you how I won the medals.
I do not want to know anything about you.
Test it. Then I go.
I'm sorry I called you that.
You're very kind. Very generous.
I know I should not have done what I did,
but I thought of you as my girl.
Put yourself in my place. You're smart.
Of course I'm smart.
There are many like me.
We had to choose and we did it.
My John married me
because I wanted to be able to dream in war.
That's why I got married. So he had that dream.
I did not count on the end of the war
and John's return was my dream.
The war is over
and John is not going to come back.
And I keep my dream.
"Patricia, I told myself.
It's your first dance and it's going to be the last
if you stop being so ridiculous and you beat yourself, right now. "
The girl told the soldier.
It is exactly what he said.
Cliff?
Yes.
Could you give me a cigarette?
What did you want to see me for?
I feel alone.
Cliff, 2 million people live here
and you feel alone for me
What's the point?
Many things do not make sense.
Like, why did it bother me so much to see you with the captain?
The captain was John's co-pilot.
They have given him the definitive discharge and he goes home.
Y...?
Y...
we talk about John.
And from France.
He told me so many things about John that he wanted to know...
Somehow,
for a moment,
It almost seemed like it was John.
Do you think it's OK?
Seem right.
Pat, I'm alone. No one.
No one?
My friend is gone.
Helen does not speak my language.
And my parents...
What's wrong with your parents?
I do not know.
And I do not know what's happening with me either.
It is that we do not understand each other.
Do you know why you're like this?
You have nothing that interests you.
And you, what are you? Nothing?
No, I mean a job.
- What kind of job? - I dont know. What have you done?
Going to college. Go to the war.
Have you ever worked?
Do you know how to keep secrets?
"Guard-secrets" Ruscomb, they call me.
I have tried it.
Half a day at a gas station.
Half day in a clothing store.
You were too good.
No, they were good jobs.
Someone will be doing them.
It's me who's wrong.
I do not think I fit anywhere.
And your father's office?
Too easy.
What are you doing, Pat?
Since August 14,
radios, recorders, phonographs...
Would they catch me?
Every day we hire veterans.
You are. You will have work.
It would be good to have you always close.
Yes?
You know what I want to say.
Do you know what I'm thinking?
I'll get to work.
Monday.
That is a good decision.
Try to make it last.
All day.
I do not. I will not associate. What are you offering?
I do not know. Some organizations have done good things.
I suppose. But there are so many that one does not know which one is good anymore.
They have called me the American War Patriots.
- Do you sound? - Not yet.
But you will call me.
Why do not they put the transformers together?
another to throw.
Dan Hartman, go to Personal.
You are throwing a lot of good material.
It's how I see them.
- Try now. - What was happening?
- You were deviated two degrees. - Well, go! Voucher.
Take ten minutes. The heat affects us all.
- I've been in worse places. - I know.
If not, I would be sitting here working
three years and I would do it like you.
Better, I think.
- Do not push me. - I'm trying not to do it.
I do not need your help.
If fighting would help, I would.
Hi. Just coffee.
Put me another one
Why do you drink, Cliff?
For the needles of the verifiers.
They were deviated two degrees.
Oh, Cliff.
I have been ridiculous.
The manager helped me and I bounced with him.
Well, it's over. He will forget it.
I've been thinking.
- Tell me. - Voucher.
All right. I have returned from the war.
I'm lucky. I have two arms and two legs, right?
- Yes - Yes
Nine out of ten come back the same.
- Normal. - Normal.
So, what is it?
I'm tense.
I feel oblivious to everything. You know why?
Tell me. We'll know both.
They have taken advantage of me.
Three and a half years have been stolen.
Cliff, you can not obsess about lost time.
I know.
But if I had continued studying
maybe he would be an engineer.
And of a fraternity.
You are from a fraternity. Of 14 million.
Well, something I have to do. I'm close to you
With that you do not make a career.
What if we go to the beach at the end?
- Sounds good. - Voucher.
- Anything else? - I've been long enough.
I'm glad you can stop.
Gerald Jensen, call Purchases.
Hey, Hal.
Yes, Harper?
I should have noticed the verifier.
I can not help you with your problem.
It is a matter of time.
Do not be discouraged.
When you know the radios, we change your site.
- You have to start by something. - You're doing well.
Cliff Harper, go to Address.
- Bye. - Voucher.
Hi, Harper. Do you remember me?
Sure, sergeant. He kept his promise. I received your second letter.
I have not answered it because...
- I've been busy. - Yes, you're doing well.
For real?
Clear.
You left the marines.
It's hard to reorganize, to work.
But you will go ahead.
Here they know who they deal with.
80% are veterans.
They are good people.
With you there are no problems.
But I would like us to talk about my problem.
- Which? - Do you remember Perry?
Yes. Without legs, I would also be a problem.
- It's one minute. - As if there are two.
Hi, Cliff.
Hi, how are you?
- Hi, Mr. Harper. - Mrs. Kincheloe.
I prepare an ice tea?
It's pretty hot
- Jimmy, help her. - I do not want to interrupt.
- Have you tried any punching? - Do not.
- What do you know about Tabeshaw? - Nothing.
- Is rare. - If you're going to do it, do it right.
Do not stop.
Keep your eyes fixed and hit the center.
When it comes to you.
Come on, try.
Hey, it works.
You should teach, Perry. To more people.
Does Gunny send you?
Yes.
He has sent me some books, to be a monitor.
- Have you read them? - I teaching children?
- And Jimmy? - I do not teach him to move.
You could, if you put your legs.
They hurt me.
Look, Perry...
You do not do yourself any good by refusing to face it.
Maybe.
Why does not Gunny tell me?
It would seem official.
I would not mind that.
But give me a book that teaches
to win a championship without legs and I will read it.
It's been useless, huh?
I think I've done it even worse.
- How are you? - It's still wet.
- You wet me. - Water does not hurt.
You like?
It's what I'll do for the rest of my life.
That I rub your back?
That...
and live on the beach and swim
and lie down in the sand.
Yes, that's what I'm going to do.
Pat.
I'm having a good time. We have to do it more.
This will be emptied.
People have things to do.
I will not feel alone.
I will be with you.
You are my girl
I am your girl
Well, it's decided.
While the money lasts.
And then?
Then we will be relaxed
and we will work again.
The manager will remain there
and Perry will continue without his legs.
That has nothing to do with it.
I feel good here, like that. I want it to last.
Pat.
- What if we get married? - With whom?
I with you and you with me.
Pat,
I tell you seriously.
You think that is what you want.
- I know. - Are you sure?
Totally.
Well, because it's the only thing you're sure of.
I know what I want.
You got lucky.
I do not know what I want.
Any idea you will have.
My idea of heaven is not to marry someone
who wants to lie on the beach.
Voucher.
If you do not like it, how is yours?
I do not know.
Sometimes I think that if I get married again,
it will be with whoever makes me easy,
give me a house with twenty rooms and a car
to take the purchase home.
Someone who hires a babysitter for each child.
You make me feel a cheap liaison.
I'm not talking about you, Cliff.
I'm talking about me.
You wanted to know what I think, sometimes it's security.
It does not have to be that man.
But,
If I get married again,
I think he would want something more than a Golden Star.
And until then?
I'm in the seventh heaven.
And where do I enter?
You are the seventh heaven.
- Sweetie. - Let's move on.
Cliff.
Yes?
Are not you going to kiss me?
See you tomorrow.
Helen, I did not know that you...
How dare you?
Hi, Cliff.
Hello Bill. What are you doing here?
I was passing by here and I came to see you.
- Why did not you pass? - You, not your parents.
Be careful with your hands.
I need 20 turkeys.
Are you in a mess?
Do you want me to tell you my life?
You look bad
You're great
Come in and have a beer.
I'm not going to drink and get out.
Where do you go?
Too many questions, Cliff.
Bill, tell me the truth. What's wrong?
Bill.
Head. It will explode me.
It's been hurting for weeks. Sometimes like now.
Always this pressure, like a trap.
You must go to the hospital.
My parents do not know anything, they would worry.
- Come, I'll call a doctor. - Do not.
I have 20 turkeys, I invite you to a drink.
I'm going to get the keys and go to the hospital.
Stop with the hospital!
Come on, let me invite you.
Voucher. A glass will be good for us. or a couple of them.
For me, good.
Now it hurts?
I had never found myself better.
Me neither, Bill.
But listen to me.
Tomorrow we go to the hospital.
I have better plans.
Find another ranch.
And the $ 2,000 you had?
- Have you heard of Las Vegas? - Yes
Brother, it annoyed me but good.
Tell me everything, cowboy.
Good,
I arrived with the pasta.
I thought it better to have a ranch of 5,000 than one of 2,000.
- or not? - Yes
I got into a game, I played and I lost.
I am left with nothing.
I ordered a goodbye cup.
And three guys come to kick me out of the place.
I fell with my head. And it started hurting me.
Did you get to Stinking Creek?
Clear. I worked as a cowboy.
But my head was driving me crazy,
so I turned my finger to the west.
Now I will get money and somewhere else.
I have some money at home, 700 dollars.
What do they have to do with me?
Look, as soon as they look at your head,
Maybe I'll get into the ranch with you.
- If you have not ridden a horse. - I will learn.
Hey, that would be fine.
I would work with a former partner.
Maybe we can get Perry into this.
- Good idea. - But I will not go to the hospital.
This will happen alone.
You are not a doctor.
Well, there is no deal.
I already understand it.
All this is for me to go to the hospital.
You do not know what you say.
Let's see if Perry is coming.
I call him and I tell him.
Let me do it.
I will be here, in the machine.
Say
Hi, Mr. Harper.
Cliff. Yes, it is here. Just a moment.
Thanks Mom. How are you, partner?
Hi, Perry. Hey, Tabeshaw is here and it's not right.
The skull plate gives you problems.
And he does not want to go to the hospital.
Can you call Sergeant Gunny Watrous and tell him to come?
Clear. Give me the address.
It's in the Swan club.
Tell him to hurry. It hurts really.
It is understood.
Bye.
Whats going on Son?
He is one of my companions.
Well, you must help him.
Yes.
It will take better from me than from Gunny.
- I can not help you. - Yes you can, son.
I can not, mom.
Perry,
I've seen you fight twenty fights.
If they hurt you, they did it to me.
But it did not matter, you were a good boxer
and you fought, you won or you lost.
I'm tired of fighting.
There are many combats.
- And you're losing one. - What can be done without legs?
There was a man who lost them at 39.
He did not give up.
He became president.
I love seeing you with your combat clothes.
Hey, it's gone up.
I've been thinking.
- You're going to break something. - You know what?
- The ranch is very good. - Of course.
It used to be a joke, now it's serious.
I'll tell my girl.
That knows everything what I know. No secrets.
You can only be happy without secrets.
- Increase my score. - Voucher.
- Say. - Hello.
Hello, grumpy. How are you?
- I'm fine. - Where are you?
With my friends, talking about something that concerns you.
And what have I done to deserve it?
- Patricia, I mean it. - Let me do it.
Patricia, do you want to live on a ranch?
And who are you?
I'm many things, but what matters is that I'm Cliff's friend.
Patricia, what do you think about the ranch?
- What kind of ranch? - Outdoor.
The outdoors is good for everyone.
- Do you like chickens? - Mostly fried.
Voucher. We will have chickens and cows.
And horses. And maybe also pigs.
No rabbits?
Rabbits are not reliable.
And I'm going to tell you the best.
- Where's Cliff? - He's here, by my side.
We are in a very exclusive place, the Swan club.
To enter the door is pushed.
Let me talk to Cliff.
- Hi Patricia. - Cliff, you're drunk. Get out of there.
I've called you to find out if you'd like to come to the ranch.
I want a yes or a no. Nothing else.
You can come here and we talk, if you want.
Are you telling me no?
- Cliff, please... - It's what I wanted to know.
We can not count on my girl.
forget it Put in the worst, we will raise women.
- You've reached 35,000! - Yes
- A free game. - For you, you earned it.
Thank you.
Check it out.
- Let's help him. - Do not dismiss it.
- Look at him. - Go, go.
What happens?
A lot. We're going to buy a ranch, Cliff, you and me.
We'll only hire veterans and... Well, that's it.
- I thought... - Will you be there without a drink?
Right away. A drink for him.
- I do not get it. - You did not have to come, Perry.
- Did not have problems? - The plaque is killing him.
I want to take you to the hospital. Have you talked to Gunny?
- Do not. - Well, it does not matter. Us...
The size of the ranch depends on our money.
For old Jerry Ginslow.
- I put something? - A whiskey with water.
And that blonde who is with the marine.
OK, Madam...
The blonde next to the marine.
This ranch is not bad.
What are you doing here?
- Take something with you. - You have asked?
And they bring it to me already.
Thank you.
Health, as they say.
Let's go baby.
Why did you come?
Why...
if you drink you can do nonsense.
What could I do?
You had not clarified everything with the manager?
It will happen again.
And I'll hit him in the jaw and it'll be over.
And goodbye to work.
And I'm left.
- Go packing. - Where are we going?
- To buy that ranch. - This is a prosperous city.
- Pat... - That way you will not escape from your problems.
It will be fun. New sites, new people.
I see new people and it drives me crazy.
We would be happy.
- You can not complain. - And who can?
Only those who never return.
again with Johnny Ruscomb.
Have you put your picture back?
I'm going. With or without you.
With you or without you, Pat.
Without me.
Pay my cup.
- How are you doing? - Greatly.
We are all from the same club.
Where did you defend our freedoms?
They kicked him out of the Navy unfairly.
Let's see if you do it.
A sniper.
Mr. Prager and Mr. Lawson.
- Hello. - Hi guys.
- You will have talked about us. - Not yet.
Do you know the American War Patriots?
We are. In this district.
We are 1,700 throughout the country.
I know other associations, but not this one.
We start where those lousy guys leave it.
Do you know what we will do?
How about a bonus of 200 a month
- Forever? - Without unions.
15% of your salaries goes to those foreign mobsters.
For a country like that we fight free.
That if you fulfill the requirements.
We have restrictions.
What do you mean?
Neither Catholics nor Jews nor blacks.
We had a friend, Maxie Klein.
If he were here, he would spit on you.
Yes?
Yes. But he died in Guadalcanal.
So, for him, I'm going to spit on you.
I'm with you
Throw them to me!
- This is mine. Help Perry. - Bill!
- Let's move on. - The car is in front.
You go, Perry, I cover you.
- Can you, Perry? - Yes
Police! Come on, for the back.
Bill, behind you!
Come on, stand back.
Alright, who speaks?
We'll talk to the hospital.
- Call an ambulance. - Voucher.
I do not know what's wrong with you
Once you are heroes, you want to be always.
With that plaque on his skull, I would not look for a fight.
They did not look for it. He came to them.
Good, sergeant. Prepare the patient.
Cliff,
I'm not going to leave.
Me neither.
If I get out of this one, I'm going to Cowboy Stinking Creek.
It will take longer to have the ranch, but you will be at home.
Received.
- Hi, Cliff. - Hello Dad.
- I'm glad to see you. - And the other boy?
We'll see after the operation. I call him.
We're going to stop those men. Thanks for your help.
All right.
I'm going to take Tabeshaw's papers.
- Bye. - I'm going with you.
See you later, Perry.
I'm standing again.
- Anything else I can do? - I think not.
Thanks for picking me up and clarifying this.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
I'm glad it happened.
Now I know that you have to fight for what you believe.
Many things have happened to me since I came back.
I have a good job.
Although it will not be for life.
Yes, I want my girl to be,
if she leaves me.
Right now, with nothing decided,
I'm better than Perry.
And I'm luckier than Tabeshaw.
It is a matter of time.
Clear.
You did not become a soldier in a day
and you can not be civil in one day.
I'm going to stay until he comes out.
You can go
I'll stay with you, son.
It's what I did waiting for you once,
It will be 23 years old on May 18.
Mom.
- And your partner? - It will come out well.
I'm glad. Are you okay, son?
I'm fine, mom. And I will continue well.
I know, Clifford.
Amy, you should not have come at this time.
I had to accompany Pat.
To Pat?
Cliff!
Pat!
