I'll Be Seeing You1944

Barbara Marshall:
Dad. Dad, I want to ask you a question.

Mr. Marshall:
Fine. Fire away.

Barbara Marshall:
You know, you never told me anything about Mary. I mean, why she was sent to prison, and why she ...

Mr. Marshall:
You can find out about that some other time, when you're a little older.

Barbara Marshall:
But it can't be so secret. I don't see why I shouldn't know.

Mr. Marshall:
Barbara, you can find out about that some other time. It's just that Mary made a little mistake, and that's all there is to it.

Barbara Marshall:
But they don't send people to prison for just doing nothing.

Mr. Marshall:
Now, look, Barbara, I'm trying to listen to the radio and work this puzzle, and I can't take on any other jobs at the moment.

Barbara Marshall:
But, what if my friends ask me about her? What'll I tell them? They'll want to know why ...

Mr. Marshall:
Just tell them that Mary is your cousin. From that point on, they can mind their own business. And it seems to me that your business might be helping your mother out in the kitchen.

Barbara Marshall:
[laughing] Oh, Dad. Sometimes the way you talk to me, you make me feel like I'm an adopted daughter or something.
