The Best Years of Our Lives1946

Fred:
Do you remember what it felt like when we went overseas?

Al:
As well as I remember my own name.

Fred:
I feel the same way now - only more so.

Al:
I know what you mean.

Fred:
Just nervous out of the service, I guess.

Al:
The thing that scares me most is that everybody is gonna try to rehabilitate me.

Fred:
All I want's a good job, a mild future, a little house big enough for me and my wife. Give me that much and I'm rehabilitated [he clicks his fingers] like that.

Al:
Well, I'd say that's not too much to ask.

Fred:
Are you married, Al?

Al:
Yup.

Fred:
How long?

Al:
Twenty years.

Fred:
Twenty years?! Holy smoke! We didn't even have twenty days before I went over. I married a girl I met when I was in training in Texas.

Al:
Well, now you and your wife will have a chance to get acquainted.
