The Captive Heart1946

Cpl. Ted Horsfall:
[offering beer] Anyone for any more?

Di Evans:
No, thank you.

Pvt. Don Evans:
[looks at clock] It's nearly twelve. We've got to be at the depot at seven. [motions to his wife] Come on home.

Flo Horsfall:
We'll have them both back before you can turn around. The war will be over by Christmas.

Cpl. Ted Horsfall:
The war will be over by Christmas. Where have I heard *that* before?

Pvt. Don Evans:
[indicates sign for their construction business] It's a shame we've got to close the business, Ted.

Cpl. Ted Horsfall:
Why, it's this habit we've gotten into; fighting the same war every twenty years.

Flo Horsfall:
Nasty habit too.
