Shining and quiet.

Yes, Judy. It has.

Hasn't it?

Nothing can hurt us now.

What we have can't be destroyed.

That's our victory.

Our victory over the dark.

It is a victory

because we're not afraid.

Come on. I'm sorry,

it must be the going away.

Judy, you're marvelous.

Remember while you're away,

tie your tie properly and brush your hair.

- And for heaven's sakes, buy a new hat.

- That's a good hat.

I can't let you go

looking like a country farmer.

Come say goodbye to the old boy.

Ann, he's off.

Thanks, Lucy. Here's a list

of places you can reach me.

We won't need it. Run along.

- Drive like mad.

- Take care of everything, won't you?

- Yes.

- Goodbye, darling.

- Now, mind yourself in the big city.

- I'll be all right, but it's gonna be lonely.

Don't tempt me. Get going.

Bye.

Hurry home!

Have you planted the hyacinths yet?

Yes. No, I don't know.

Come on.

I must help you plant them.

See, they're his favorite flower.

You'll dig the holes, I'll put them in.

I want to very much.

Thank you.

- You didn't go, Miss Judith.

- No, Martha.

Come along, Ann.

You will water my flowers,

won't you, Ann? Take care of them.

And, Ann, you will take care

of my doctor, won't you?

He'll need someone. He mustn't be alone.

You see, it's so much worse for him

than it is for me.

Oh, really, that's true.

I'm the lucky one.

All I'll miss is growing old

and being tired and worn-out.

Never leave him, will you?

I promise.

Don't. Don't, Ann.

I'm happy, really I am.

Now, let me see...

if there's anything else.

Oh, yes, one more thing.

When Michael runs Challenger

in the National...

And he'll win, I'm sure he'll win.

have a party...

and invite all our friends.

Now, let me see. Silly old Alec,

if he's back from Europe.

Colonel Mantle and old Carrie and...

Oh, yes, and don't forget

dear old Dr. Parsons.

Give them champagne and be gay.

Be very, very gay.

I must go in now.

Ann, please understand.

No one must be here. No one.

See, I must show him I can do it alone.

Perhaps it will help him over

some bad moments to remember it.

Ann, be my best friend.

Go now.

Please!

- Martha?

- Miss Judith.

I'm going up to lie down now.

Oh, Miss Judith...

Daffy.

Daffy, Don.

Don, come here. Oh, darlings. Darlings.

Now... Now, go down now. Go on.

Go, darlings.

- Is that you, Martha?

- Yes, Miss Judith.

I don't want to be disturbed.
