or anyone that reminds me.

All right.

Good bye.

# We strolled the lane together #

# laughed at the rain together. #

# Sang love's refrain together #

# We'll always be together. #

# You were meant for me #

# I was meant for you. #

# Nature patterned you

and when she was done... #

# you were... #

- Here's your tickets.

Those cool songs kind of

take you back, don't they?

Yes, they do take you back.

Did you decide which ones

you're gonna keep

and which ones you're gonna

leave for him?

Funny, Applejack.

I can't seem to divide them.

They belong to both of us.

Guess I'll just leave them.

While I was listening downstairs there, I...

I could remember just as clear

the first time I ever saw you.

Roger brought you into the Bulletin...

and I was cussing and pounding

on that old machine.

Gee, he didn't know we was all

gonna get to know each other

so well then, did he?

Would you get the rest of the things

out of the bedroom for me, please?

I don't blame you, Julie.

I don't blame you at all.

You should leave me.

Why don't you say it, honey?

It's all true.

I haven't done any one of the big things

I planned to do for you.

We're right where we started.

Still struggling.

I've let you down all around, honey.

All I needed to make it 100%

was for you to leave me.

And I can't think of a reason

in the world for you not to.

I'm licked, Julie.

You're not licked, Roger.

It's just us.

We're licked as far as

our being together is concerned.

When something really came along

that hit us hard enough

we couldn't face it together.

I needed you an awful lot

these last few days...

but you've been miles away.

I've been entirely alone

right here in this room with you.

I know, dear.

I wish I could do something

to help you two.

It just hasn't worked out.

It did work out, Julie.

Things were wonderful

until this happened to us.

I don't know, I...

I just haven't been able to think

straight for the last few days.

She was never sick before and then

all of a sudden it was all over.

If there was only some way

that people could know

a few days ahead

what was going to happen.

Yes...

Then the day before

she was taken sick...

she asked me for a quarter

and I wouldn't let her have it.

When she asked me to take her

to the movies I said no

run along, I'm too busy.

I know, it was the same with me.

I was trying on her angel costume and...

she was so excited

she couldn't stand still.

I scolded her.

I said, I'll never try

another dress on you again.

I never did.

Yes?

Oh...

Hello?

Miss Oliver.

It's a very strange thing,

Mrs. Adams,

but we have a little boy

who is just two years old.

Well, it's the oddest thing.

He's the exact image of the youngster

you asked for

when you first wrote to me.

You remember?

I have that old letter

in front of me now.

Curly hair, blue eyes,

dimple...

This is strictly off the record.

But really, another couple

has the right to see him first.

But he's such a remarkable baby that...

I thought perhaps you and Mr. Adams

would like to take a look.

Yes.

Miss Oliver...

please don't let that other couple

see him until we do, will you?

I won't, my dear.

Good bye.

Well, if he's only two years old,

I'd better put up the gate again, hm?

Yes.

I wouldn't want the little fellow falling

down the stairs and breaking his arm.

I guess we'd better get out the crib.

As long as he's two years old,

he can sleep on this bed, can't he?

Sure, sure.

We won't have to put

the chairs around it.

And over in that corner

I could put a little electric train.
