"4-f, that's all." "It's not like they called you a dirty name, lucky." "Hmm." "It isn't?" "Skip it." "Believe me, if it hadn't been for the war, nobody would have said a thing about my bad heart." "Besides, it doesn't bother me." "It doesn't bother me." "Yeah, I can see that." "It bothers me a little, mainly of making girls nervous." "Making girls nervous how?" "If you knew and you saw me do something strenuous..." "You wouldn't want me to worry." "That's very considerate." "Thanks." "I just want you to enjoy yourself." "Yeah, and you were just so sure that you could get me into bed that you didn't want me to be nervous about your bad heart." "I don't have a bad heart." "I'm telling you I don't care." "Boy, I don't know how you let me get into this." "Get you into what?" "I don't have to spell it out." "I'd like to think we made love to each other." "Are you trying to tell me that I'm responsible for all this, when you've been asking me out forever, and I keep saying no?" "You meant yes." "I meant no." "Well, somebody around here said yes." "I said yes because I felt sorry for you." "Just get out of here." "What the hell does it look like I'm doing?" "I won't even put on my shoes." "I never want to see you again." "Never." "Who is it?" "Me." "I don't know what the hell we're talking about, kay." "We've got to go back to work in 12 hours." "What I don't understand is why it had to happen in the first place." "World war ii?" "No." "Why did we have to end up working together?" "Kay, are you all right?" "I'm fine." "Just wondering." "I'll never see you again except Monday through Friday from 4:00 till midnight every swing shift." "I swear, if you were any kind of a gentleman..." "I'd what, work graveyard?" "What?"

"Hey, lucky, you seen kay?" "She got called into personnel before the shift ended." "I think they're going to give her a medal." "She saved Violet's life." "Hey, guess what!" "Guess what!" "They're making me a leadman." "Yes, yes!" "They said I was fast on my feet." "Macbride shook my hand." "I told him the line was moving too fast." "They just smiled and handed you a promotion, right?" "I thought you'd be proud of me." "So we're still going to get together later on?" "Sure." "And, kay, I am proud, really." "Thanks." "Good night, lucky." "Lucky:" "Ha ha!" "Here it is, girls!" "Kay:" "Oh, look!" "We're here." "Oh!" "Oh, it's wonderful." "¶ Take me, brother ¶" "¶ LA-da-da LA-da-da LA-di da-da ¶" "¶ LA-da-da LA-da-da LA-di da-da ¶" "Oh, this is better than anything... this place, the music, dancing with you." "It's pretty damn good." "Oh..." "Oh, I wish it could be like this forever." "Why not?" "Isn't it unusual for somebody with your amazing looks to be a riveter?" "No." "It's amazing for someone with my unusual looks to be a riveter." "Touché." "That means you wounded me slightly." "You got quite a line, o'Connor... the come on, the French lesson." "You're quite a dancer." "What's your room number?" "There you go beating around the bush again." "O'Connor:" "In a few months," "I don't know if I'm going to be alive." "So if I came on a little bit strong," "I apologize." "Biscuits." "Biscuits?" "Biscuits!" "Hi, hazel." "Surprised, huh?" "Yeah." "Who's this guy?" "Pardon me." "Pardon me, sir." "Pardon me, sir." "Beat it, buddy." "Go peddle your French elsewhere, sir." "Au revoir... that means scram, all right?" "Good evening, Mrs. Zanussi." "See ya." "Beat it, all right?" "Same old light touch, hazel." "I don't know why I did that." "Man:" "Seaman toohey!" "Seaman toohey?" "What... something in life keeps bringing you and me together." "I'm shipping out tonight." "Tonight?" "Yeah." "I'm glad, though." "Now I can tell you I'm sorry for Frankie, the broads, the promises, everything." "I messed up real bad with you, hazel." "You talk like you're going to die or something." "Come on, toohey." "Let's go." "Take care of yourself, hazel." "Oh, happy new year, doll." "It's almost midnight, you know." "Oh!" "Out of uniform, buddy." "I don't have a uniform, buddy." "Don't push me!" "Take a hike, leatherneck!" "You want it?" "You want a piece of me, asshole?" "Come get it!" "Wait a minute!" "No!" "Crowd: 10...9...8... 7...6...5... 4...3...2...1!" "Happy new year!" "Man:" "June 6, 1944... d-day." "American, British, and Canadian troops landed in northern France this morning." "Stand by for general eisenhower's broadcast as the allies launch this great invasion." "Eisenhower:" "Soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied expeditionary force, you are about to embark upon the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months." "In company with our brave allies and brothers in arms on other fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world." "Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessing of almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." "Associates, back to work!" "Happy Birthday!" "The shirt's from hazel." "Oh, really?" "Yep." "Just a minute." "I'll be right back." "I forgot something." "Thanks." "You're welcome, lucky." "Oh, great." "¶ Da-dun ¶ all right, what is it?" "My contribution to your musical career." "You like it?" "Jesus, kay." "Oh, baby, thanks." "You're welcome." "Kay!" "It's me!" "Kay, I'm home!" "Who wants a beer?" "I do." "Hi." "Hi." "Is my wife here?" "Is kay here?" "Kay?" "Kay, look who's here." "Hey, watch this." "Jack:" "Kay!" "Jack!" "Jack!" "Jack!" "I don't believe it." "I'm on liberty." "I brought you a rose." "Thanks." "Um, this is lucky." "Hi." "Lucky, nice to meet you." "And hazel, and, well, we all work together." "Come on, let's..." "let's... excuse us." "We're shipping out again in 48 hours." "Couldn't tell anybody we were coming in." "Couldn't breathe a word about it." "How about that?" "That's something." "Kay..." "Where... kay." "What is it, honey?" "Who's the leadman?" "Anybody I know?" "Yeah, it's somebody you know." "Well, who is it?" "It's me." "I'm the leadman." "You?" "See?" "See?" "I got a promotion." "That's great." "Thanks." "I came in to try on my civvies to see what they felt like, but they didn't seem to be here." "I'm sorry, honey." "Oh, this closet is full of equipment and stuff, and it's like fibber McGee's closet, but they're in boxes." "No, no, don't bother with it, kay." "I can't wear them anyway." "I can just wear them in the house." "Well, all right." "My gosh." "What a mess." "Congratulations." "Thanks." "Oh, you got it." "Yeah, I got it..." "All over everything." "Good job." "Thanks." "Did you have a good rest?" "Mm-hmm." "Sure did." "Well, welcome home, honey." "Thanks." "Are you going to change that?" "Sure, honey." "So like I said, congratulations." "Congrats." "For what?" "You know." "What did you say you were making?" "$1.35 an hour." "What did you say about overtime?" "I didn't." "Beats me anyway." "Beats me all to hell." "Here's to you, kiddo, and that guy you work with." "What's his name?" "Lucky." "There's no question about that." "What do you mean?" "He's stateside, not in uniform." "How lucky can you get?" "I don't think he'd call it lucky." "Well, the next time you go to work, ask him what he'd call it and where I might stand in line to get it." "What would you call it, Jack?" "I'd call it cheating, kay." "I went to war!" "I know." "So who else got lucky besides lucky?" "Didn't it mean anything..." "That..." "That you're my wife?" "Of course it meant something." "I tried to wait, but everything in this house reminded me of you." "Sure, baby." "Blame it on the war." "It's everybody's excuse." "I'm not the same, and neither are you." "I'm sorry." "I was wrong." "I'm sorry." "Do you love this guy?" "Do you?" "Oh, Jack..." "Oh, Jack, please forgive me." "Yeah, moon told me about that." "Woman:" "See you tomorrow." "What the hell are you doing here, luck?" "Thought you were sick." "Can I talk to you a minute, hazel?" "Sure." "Come on, Violet." "Let's go pick up Peggy." "Woman:" "Good night, hazel." "Listen, I'm playing at Kelly's later on tonight." "Want to come?" "I don't think so." "All right." "Ha ha ha." "Suit yourself." "You going to be all right?" "Mmm." "Never better." "Is this taken?" "Thank you." "One scotch." "Kay:" "Jack!" "Jack!" "You're leaving so early." "You weren't supposed to go..." "I couldn't sleep." "I got to get out of here." "Did you read my note?" "No." "What's the note say, Jack?" "What's it say?" "I can't..." "Believe what you've done." "Oh, honey," "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "All right." "All right, let's get out of here." ""Dear kay," ""I don't understand what you've done," ""but I guess you're right." ""Everything changes." ""I'm different, you're different," ""the whole world is different." ""I don't know what's right anymore." ""I guess we both have a lot of thinking to do." ""I'll try and write when I'm not so confused." ""They say the war will be over soon." ""I hope so." ""It's sure taken its toll on all of us." "All the best." "Jack."" "What did you think of the guys" "I played with last night?" "They were okay." "You were better." "They're heading back east in a couple of weeks." "I could probably work it out to go with them." "What's the matter, hazel?" "It's not going to be so hot telling kay about this." "What's the big hurry in telling her?" "Besides, I'm the one with the broken heart, remember?" "I don't think I can look her in the eye until I do." "Wait!" "Wait a minute!" "Kay!" "Kay:" "Come in." "God, I don't even recognize the place." "Would you like some tea?" "Some tea?" "I'll take some tea." "Jack's mother gave me this tea set when we were married." "Really?" "It's lovely." "Thank you." "Cream?" "Yes, please." "Sugar?" "You got sugar?" "How many sugars?" "No sugar, thanks." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Sandwich?" "Kay..." "Seeing you with Jack made lucky nuts." "I was lonely." "It's not going to happen again." "Well, who'd have thought this would happen to us?" "So..." "What are we going to do about this?" "Oh..." "We'll all be friends." "What else?" "¶ You had plenty money..." "1922 ¶" "¶ you let other women make a fool of you ¶" "¶ why don't you do right ¶" "¶ like some other men do?" "¶" "¶ get out of here ¶" "¶ and give me some money, too ¶" "¶ why don't you do right ¶" "¶ like some other men do?" "¶" "¶ like some other men do?" "¶ man:" "All right." "Thank you." "Waiter." "Kay, honey, don't you think you'd better take it easy?" "Why?" "We're celebrating, aren't we?" "What are we celebrating?" "Everything." "Friendship." "So..." "Here we are." "Mmm." "You still blow a mean horn, lucky." "Glad you liked it, kay." "Hazel liked it, too, didn't you, haze?" "Haze?" "Ha ha ha." "First circle." "First circle?" "Another round." "To lucky and hazel." "To kay and Jack." "Here's mud in your eye." "Kay, why don't you slow down?" "Come on." "Oh, don't tell me what to do." "Isn't it funny?" "Isn't it funny how things happen so fast?" "Kay, you've had a little too much to drink." "Isn't it?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it's funny." "All the time that lucky and I were together and all the time that hazel and I were best friends," "I never knew." "It wasn't like that." "I told you." "It just happened all of a sudden." "Come on, I thought you said we were going to be friends." "Friends?" "Friends are the most important thing, right?" "Here's to good music." "Right, hazel?" "Lots of things are important, kay." "But friends are the most important thing, good friends, friends you can trust." "You mean like the way husbands are supposed to be able to trust their wives?" "Tone it, hazel." "The way your love life was going," "I don't blame you for taking what you could get." "Thanks, kay." "What about you, Jack, and lucky?" "That made a real pretty picture, kay." "That was me, Jack, and lucky!" "This is me, you, and lucky!" "You two don't need me." "Nope, I'm going." "You're on your own, sweetheart." "There's a word for you." "Stay away from me." "Only I can't say it." "Oh, yes, I can." "Whore!" "Did you call me a whore?" "Did you see anybody else I could be speaking to?" "You're the whore, sweetheart." "I may have slept with someone's boyfriend, but I didn't spend two years of my life putting a knife in my husband's back." "Kay:" "You never had a husband." "You never had a boyfriend." "I don't care what happens to you, and I don't care what happens to him." "So why don't you just go away, okay?" "Ride." "Man:" "Where to, sweetie?" "Hazel:" "Leave me alone." "Get your hands off me." "Get away from me!" "Hazel:" "Let's just go." "I was in love!" "Shut up!" "Come on, kay, I'll get you home." "No, don't touch me." "How are you going to get home?" "If I can build a goddamn airplane," "I can get myself home." "How do you feel?" "I feel sick." "I called macbride's this morning and quit." "I'm leaving." "You want this back?" "No." "I'd really like you to keep that." "Me, too." "Thanks." "Come with me, kay." "I can't." "Goodbye, kay." "Wait, lucky." "Mabel stoddard's husband is in the pacific." "She took this job for the duration." "Mrs. Stoddard, how do you like your job?" "I love it." "After the war, do you plan to keep on working?" "As I was saying, when my husband comes back," "I'm going to be busy... home." "Good for you." "Each returning serviceman will get his job back when the war is won, and you girls and women, you'll be going home, back to being housewives and mothers as you promised to do when you came to work with us." "Your lives will return to normal." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Man:" "Attention, please." "The ceremony commemorating the last sbd dive bomber produced by macbride's will start in a few moments." "Associates..." "We share a great moment in history." "Japan has surrendered." "The war is over!" "Associates, associates." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Can we have some quiet, please, for Mr. Macbride?" "Associates, I want to thank each and every one of you for a job well done." "They dropped us just like that." "I knew it." "Knowing that you have done your part to bring peace to a strife-torn world, and especially you girls..." "Good luck to you." "Now you can become housewives and mothers again, to make homes and families for all our returning heroes." "Last hired..." "Both:" "First fired." "Taking away the best job I ever had." "A year of welding school." "Shirt." ""Dear lucky, I was cleaning house yesterday" ""when I came across these pictures" ""of our going-away party at macbride's." ""I thought you might like them." ""Haven't heard from Jack in a while," ""but I've been notified of his fleet's arrival next week." ""I'm hoping..." "well, I hoping for the best." ""I know things got muddled in the end," ""but I just want to say thanks for so many things." ""I sure hope things are finally going your way." "Good luck." "Kay."" "Please forgive me." "You're forgiven." "How'd you get here?" "I borrowed spike and Ethel's car." "Come on." "Let's go home." "Can I help you with this or anything?" "No, I got it." "Put your bag down." "I went to the store and got something special for dinner, unless you'd rather go out." "Where is he?" "It's over." "That's good news." "I know I hurt you, honey." "I love you." "Still working?" "They let us go when it was all over." "That makes two of us." "Now we're both out of a job." "Yeah." "I just love you so goddamn much." "I love you, too." "Hey, Jeannie, what's this?" "It's called a dip." "Yeah?" "Yeah, you stick the potato chips in it." "Clarence:" "Hi, how are you?" "Man:" "How are you?" "Everybody, I'd like to introduce to all of you, this is my new husband Archibald toohey." "How do you do?" "Clarence:" "Hi." "This is fantastic." "A washer... all electric." "Clarence:" "Oh, fabulous!" "It tore a shirt the other day." "Hi, everybody." "Kay!" "Kay, hey!" "Well, this is Jack, my husband, and he just got back." "I'm Clarence." "Welcome home, boy, welcome home." "And this is Annie." "The government's promised us a new ranch house in the valley." "Ranch house?" "Yeah, they're building a whole bunch of them." "They're all alike, too." "With all these servicemen coming back, there's going to be a large need for housing." "Hazel, hazel." "Hi." "I just wanted to say congratulations." "Thank you." "This is my husband Archibald toohey." "Biscuits toohey." "Pleasure to meet you." "Excuse me." "I see you were in the pacific, huh?" "You bet." "Yep." "I just want to forget the past and start all over again." "With another little one on the way," "I'm sure glad Deacon has a job." "Woman:" "Remember that first day, standing in line?" "I was so scared." "I thought they were going to laugh at us." "They did laugh at us." "Well, we showed them." "Woman:" "We sure did." "Yeah!" "We showed them." "Here's to kay and Jack, Jeannie and Bobby," "Clarence and Annie, Violet and Deacon, and hazel and me, and all of us... to no more war and one hell of a future."
