we've got to eat.

Go and attend to the shop,

would you, please, love?

- There's thousands of them.

- Yeah. Just think of all them chips.

If we can get 2,000, tuppence a time,

we'll make a fortune.

- I'll do Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

- You won't.

I'll do Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

You'll do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Welcome to England. There's

a doughnut there and there's sugar.

Tim! Tim!

Tim, what has happened?

I'm not going back.

You... You won't make me, will you?

- I won't make you.

- I hate it so much.

- Oh, darling, I'm so sorry.

- I just couldn't take any more.

What happened? Tell me about it.

Second platoon, ready. Hit it!

Third platoon, stand by. Go!

Go get 'em!

Come on, you pussies. On your bellies!

Come on!

- It's great, isn't it?

- Move along!

Keep your goddamn ass down!

Keep down or you're dead!

Titchwell, you've got the biggest ass

I've ever seen! Move it!

Move it! Trip the light

fantastic! Move it!

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

Two ounces of cheese.

Now, jam, Mrs Shenton?

- You got any shoe polish? - Yes, but

you'll have to wait your turn.

- What sort do you fancy?

- Got any damson?

- Yes. What they call damson.

- Stockings? Brassieres?

- You've come to the wrong shop.

- I'll wait forever for you.

- Here's your damson.

- Got any picture postcards?

- Can't you see she's busy?

- Jean.

- Anything with the name of this place?

- What's the name of this place?

- Jean!

- All right, Dad!

See what he wants. I'll deal with this

lot. I'm in a right bloody mood for them.

- Thanks.

- You were next. What do you want?

- The soup's boiling over.

- Why didn't you turn it off?

Your mother

doesn't like me in the kitchen.

- My mother's in bed.

- Oh, no, she's not.

Oh, Clarrie. Look, love,

go back upstairs.

- I thought you were having a rest.

- With all that row going on?

What have you got in there, love?

A cattle market?

- The shop's full of new Yanks.

- Oh?

- Who's serving?

- Our Geoff and Mrs Shenton.

I was going to bring this up to you.

- Jean, where are the razor blades?

- Coming.

Take your pills.

Oh, yeah.

- Where you going?

- Newport News.

- Is that in America?

- Sure is!

- Take us!

- Can we come?

- Hey, kid, want an orange?

- Yeah!

Send me one first!

You got it! Hey, kids,

want a can of fruit?

- Yeah. Any peaches?

- You bet! Catch!

Here it comes!

Do you wish you were on that ship?

So long, kids!

I wish I was on it with you someday.

Take you home and meet Dad.

I think he'd like you.

Wouldn't know what to make of you,

but he'd like you.

- Hey!

- Hey!

I think we should go to New York City

first. What do you think?

Yeah, we'll do that. We'll stay

in a fancy hotel, see a Broadway show.

We'll take a train all the way

across the country. A sleeper.

Mm.

We'll go to... to Phoenix first.

Then we'll take another train

down to Tucson.

I'll show you the desert in spring.

Oh, Jeannie.

The flowers on the

cactus are so pretty.

I'd like to see that.

Good. We got a date.

It's a long way.

Yeah, it's a long way

around the corner sometimes.

I know that.

But this is different.

If only my mother weren't so ill.

I couldn't leave home now,

even if I wanted to.

I think you can do

anything you wanna do.

I know horses,

but I don't know about these bikes.

Mother, what's the matter?

What's happened?

It's Ken. He's... been killed.

His sister came round.

They had a telegram at tea time

to say he'd... been killed in action.

I hope you're proud

of what you've done to us.

- Excuse me, ma'am?

- That boy knew.

Knew about you and your dirty

little goings-on behind his back.

He lived for you, Jean.

Didn't want to come back.

You know that, don't you?

You as good as killed him,

the pair of you.

You'll have to live with that

for the rest of your life.

You're wrong.

I'm sorry, I really am,

but you're wrong.

Just go away, son.

The best thing you can do

right now is just... go.

- Jeannie? - I'll be all right.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, yes. You'll see him tomorrow

and the next day and the next.

It's what you both hoped for, isn't it?

Mother, you've no right to say that.

I'm sorry.

Jeannie, I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, Jean, I'm never going

to see your children now.

I'll never see them. I know that.

I'm never going to

set eyes on them, Jean. I'm not.

Jean.

Ken's dead. Did you know?

- They came and told us.

- Yes, I know.

But I think you should go back to bed.

It's very late.

United States troops

continue to pour into Great Britain.

While Germany speculates

on the time and places

chosen for

the second-front invasin of Europe,

troops continue to mass in these

islands in readiness for that invasin.

Sorry to keep you waiting, sir.

- Bags are in the boot.

- Have you booked accommodation, sir?

Yes, a room on the first floor.

- Is it the first time you've been

with us? - No, indeed.

I'm glad to be back.

- Have the car taken round.

- Yes, sir.

- Sir, have you booked a room?

- Yes, I have.

I'll be back for your luggage

in just a minute.

- How's the weather? Been keeping fine?

- Very good, sir. This way, please.

I was told by a good friend

that this was a secluded place.

- Would you like to stretch your legs?

- Mm.

It's an incredibly beautiful country,

England.

- This is Wales. England's over that way.

- This must be the Welsh Sea.

- Actually, it's the Irish Sea.

- The Irish Sea?

- That would put Ireland over

there, huh? - Mm-mm.

Well, nobody ever loved me

for my sense of direction.

- Do you remember Ireland?

- Mm.

I'll never forget it.

What a beautiful girl.

Beautiful country, beautiful giris.

- Do you think he's American or British?

- Does it matter?

Well, I like to think

that we get the pretty ones.

Hm.

- She might be a very nice girl.

- Well, I hope so.

- They might be terribly in love.

- Could be.

I'm feeling guilty.

- About Peter?

- About coming here in this way.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Perhaps I'm not a woman of the worid.

Well...

You'd think she'd have brought

another pair of stockings.

But he'll buy her another

pair, won't he?

I hope so.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Did you enjoy your lunch?

- The fish was off.

- The fish was off.

- We should have had the vegetable pie.

What is it?

I was thinking

what a terrific time we would have had

if that kid of yours

had been good at games.

- Thank you for coming.

- I was honoured.

It was something I wanted to do.

Matt, let's get away.

Please. Take me away.

OK.

Thank you, sir.

- What did you tell your mom?

- I'm at my Auntie Maud's.

Nice place she's got here.

Are you sure?
