and how I'd finally left
with one of them
to wind up singing
in third-rate hotel ballrooms.
What a rotten break, vivi,
to have such a great start.
Oh, don't be sorry.
I didn't mean this to sound
like the memoirs
of a fallen angel.
You sure there are fish
down there?
That winter,
I knew there was no more reason
for me to doubt or to fear.
I knew he'd come
next January,
and I'd come with him.
For 46 weeks,
I could live somehow
because I knew
that when January came again,
I'd be there.
Good-bye, vivi.
Take good care of yourself.
You too.
Don't work too hard.
Keep your same phone number.
Don't make it hard for me
to find you next year.
I'll try not to.
Good-bye, vivi.
Good-bye,
Mr. Leslie, honey.
The note said, "you told me
you had pin money"
but not enough
for platinum pins."
There was something else too.
About that, the note said,
"hold this for an investment.
If a rainy day comes,
it's nice to have an umbrella."
My investment was a dress shop,
something steady.
That's what I needed,
and that's what I got.
Welcome, partner.
You won't find
the dress business
as exciting as show business.
Oh, I know what I'm doing.
Do I sign here?
Yeah.
How do I start?
Well, first off,
you better get yourself
some flat-heeled shoes.
Those things'll ruin you.
Oh, don't worry.
I will.
9:
00, miss Keeler.Closing time.
Oh, thanks.
Mr. pope, do you think
you could find
Robert e. Lee's autobiography
for me?
Well, no.
Nobody could.
Well, you mean
he didn't write one?
General Lee lived his life
so that he had no need
to explain or apologize.
That's nice.
That's really nice.
Will you charge this
to my account?
And when the jelinek book
comes in, you know,
will you let me know?
Of course.
You puzzle me, miss Keeler.
Are you writing a thesis
on the civil war?
That's the nicest compliment
I ever had.
That's all
you ever read about.
You know,
if you're not busy this evening,
maybe you'd like to drop in
to the newsreel theater
on the Avenue.
They're showing a very
well-done short on mathew Brady.
- The photographer?
- And artist.
Lots of his civil war pictures.
Maybe I will.
On a night like this,
an air-cooled movie
wouldn't be bad.
Good night, Mr. pope.
Good night.
The marines
are used to being ready,
and the zero hour
over the side
with their long-awaited chance
against the japs.
Marine paratroopers
renew the corps' watchword:
"The first to fight."
Amphibian tanks are part
of the amazing equipment
these sea soldiers
will carry with them.
The devil dog drive
of belleau woods,
the magnificent fight
and bravery of wake island.
America is on the attack.
Speed on, marines.
This united nation
hears your call.
Forward.
In Washington, the president
adds another agency
to the official family:
The committee for aeronautical
production coordination.
Chosen to head up
the vital c.A.P.C.,
upon which rests
the future of allied air power,
is one of the nation's
most brilliant air minds,
George l. Hendersall.
Hendersall,
a farm boy who wanted wings,
flew in world war I
and emerged to build the mighty
hendersall aircraft corporation,
originators of the new army
experimental jet.
His wife is the well-known
one-time flyer Evelyn Bronson,
famed for her books
on air exploration
and the daughter of the late
senator Jonas Bronson,
one of the earliest exponents
of air power.
Both sons, William and Jonathan,
are majoring in aeronautics
at Cornell university.
Mr. hendersall will move
the entire family to Washington
to fulfill his appointment,
including mcdermott here,
who is the son
of the famous pilot
and will be right back at home.
Not defensive war,
but offensive war.
Not since the night
mama died had I felt such panic,
such terrifying loneliness.
Now I've seen her.
"So what, Keeler?"
I kept asking myself.
So her name is Evelyn,
and she's a woman
of distinction.
So what?
I'll tell you what.
Evelyn's husband
said to another woman,
"you're the best companion
I've ever known."
You don't even know
that stuffed-shirt hendersall,
with his money and airplanes
and family.
You know a Mr. George Leslie,
a fellow
who lives in California
and goes fishing.
He did live in California,
but now he's got a big job,
a war to win.
He won't be back,
but you've got to go on living.
Survivors have to find a way
to survive,
and you always do.
Here we are, Mrs. stell.
Thank you.
And I hope you enjoy it.
Good night.
Good night, miss Keeler.
I'm running.
Have to catch my train.
You don't mind, vivien.
Before you close,
you've got Mrs. sims in there.
King and Keeler,
that's right.
Come on in.
When did this happen?
Almost a year ago.
Very attractive store.
You call them shops, don't you?
Is it paying?
We're making ends meet.
I don't like this blue,
miss Keeler.
Let me try
on that black lace, please.
Yes, yes, certainly.
What's wrong, vivi?
I've wired.
by phone.
I've written.
What's the matter?
Don't you want to go out west
this year?
Yes, me.
I'm a businesswoman now.
I can't afford to pick up
and take off
anytime I feel like it...
You feel like it.
please?
See, I have
responsibilities now.
Here you are, Mrs. sims.
Thanks.
I hope I'm not keeping you.
That's a very complicated
answer.
Now, what's happened?
I just don't know
what my plans are.
I may have to go to Europe,
a buying trip.
If that's what you want to do,
we can go to Europe this year.
the important thing?
Europe, California?
You see, you don't even know
what I'm talking about.
Will you help me
with this zipper?
I don't think
this does much for my figure.
I have such trouble
trying to... oh!
For heaven's sake,
what are you trying to do
to to me?
I'm sorry.
That was terribly clumsy of me.
It just isn't my day, I guess.
No, no,
I don't like this either.
I'm sorry.
Hand me my dress.
I'm glad you came by, though.
I have some business
to transact with you.
Business?
You would have had it
before this.
I just didn't know
where to get in touch with you.
Here.
Please take it.
And here's a check.
By this time next year,
I ought to be able
to return the balance.
Good night, miss Keeler.
Let me know
when you get some new things in.
Yes, I will.
Good night, Mrs. sims.
I didn't want diamond pins
from you or money.
I didn't want anything.
I'm ashamed to death
of the money I took from you
when I first went down there.
Now you're ashamed, you mean.
Do you think being in business
has given you respectability?
Respectability?
I like to think
I always had that.
You did.
Only then,
you didn't realize it.
You're in love me,
so you went to Santa hilda.
Has that changed?
Look, it's closing time.
