- It's no use telling me...

I've made up me mind...

...and all the powers on earth

won't make me change it.

Bridie... for heaven's sake, be sensible.

Now sit down, and take it easy.

They'll be here any minute!

And we'll met them together,

tell them the truth...

...and hope for the best.

There's nothing they can do

to you now...

There's no reason why you shouldn't feel

as happy as I feel...

...now that me mind's at peace

for a change.

- Bridie...

- Give me your hand, David...

Now, we'll sit here quietly and enjoy

the last few minutes we have together...

Just the two of us.

Alone.

Excuse me!

This is the BBC Home Service...

Here is the news, read by John Snaid...

D-Day has come...

Early this morning the Allies

began the assault

on the Northwest corner

of Hitler's European fortress.

It's started!

- Then there's no reason...

- No! Not now!

The border!

Up here!

- Mind how you go, Sugar!

- Oh there she goes!

Alright?

Yes.

Where is she?

She's in the saloon.

That's funny... she was here a minute ago.

Goodbye!

Goodbye David!

Could be in the lounge

or in the back parlour.

Go with him to the back parlour, Pat.

Easy now, gentlemen!

Open the door at once!

Come out!

- That was couple of swell dishes!

- I'll say!

I am glad we stopped here

instead of going on to Hereford.

Did you notice my hand trembling

when I wrote "Mr & Mrs Baynes."?

I'll slip down and put the car away.

Well!...of all the...!

Bridie!...

What the Devil are you up to?

How dare you do

a thing like this to me?

I won't stop in this place,

so I won't...

Not if the sky itself were to fall down

on the top of me head...

I won't stop in it!
