Since You Went Away1944

Mrs. Anne Hilton:
By the way, how did you leave Jane?

Lieutenant Tony Willett:
With the mumps, and with tears, I'm afraid. I haven't much tact, I guess. I didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Anne Hilton:
I know. Poor dear. Then you are very attractive, Tony.

Lieutenant Tony Willett:
A bone from Mrs. Hilton?

Mrs. Anne Hilton:
No, I mean it. It won't be too easy for Jane, getting over it.

Lieutenant Tony Willett:
Nonsense. Older men. Every girl goes through it. Didn't you?

Mrs. Anne Hilton:
Still going through it.

Lieutenant Tony Willett:
Yeah. Older men named Hilton. Don't you ever worry about Jane.

Mrs. Anne Hilton:
I won't. As long as the older men are like you.

Lieutenant Tony Willett:
You know something, Anne? I'm chump enough to go on living on your compliments for the next six months. Like a camel and water, you know? How long can they go?

Mrs. Anne Hilton:
I can't tell you. I never knew one.
