The Best Years of Our Lives1946

Homer:
I didn't see much of the war...I was stationed in a repair shop below decks. Oh, I was in plenty of battles, but I never saw a Jap or heard a shell coming at me. When we were sunk, all I know is there was a lot of fire and explosions. And I was on the topsides and overboard. And I was burned. When I came to, I was on a cruiser. My hands were off. After that, I had it easy...That's what I said. They took care of me fine. They trained me to use these things. I can dial telephones, I can drive a car, I can even put nickels in the jukebox. I'm all right, but...well, you see, I've got a girl.

Fred:
She knows what happened to ya, doesn't she?

Homer:
Sure, they all know. They don't know what these things look like.

Al:
What's your girl's name, Homer?

Homer:
Wilma. She and I went to high school together.

Al:
I'll bet Wilma's a swell girl.

Homer:
She is.

Fred:
Then it will be all right, sailor. You wait and see.

Homer:
Yeah, wait and see. Wilma's only a kid. She's never seen anything like these hooks.
