00:00:00,534 --> 00:00:05,373
***
2
00:00:05,406 --> 00:00:08,442
(pamela) hey, lucas,
Stop it. Come on.
3
00:00:08,476 --> 00:00:10,811
(lucas) I want a turn.
Come on, you guys.
We're late.
4
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:13,514
All right, come on.
Sit down.
(woman) the concert's
About to start.
5
00:00:13,547 --> 00:00:16,384
And I'm sorry, but there aren't
Enough seats for parents.
6
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:18,819
Wait. We broke our necks
To get here,
7
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,788
And we can't even
Hear our kids sing?
8
00:00:20,821 --> 00:00:22,256
I'm sorry.
(whispers) come on.
9
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:24,425
Ugh.
Ugh.
10
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:26,760
Okay, it's my fault.
Oh, please.
11
00:00:26,794 --> 00:00:29,763
I've had to listen to katie
And lucas rehearse all week.
12
00:00:29,797 --> 00:00:32,433
I just don't like
That choral director. (scoffs)
13
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:35,403
Well, at least we don't have
Any more community service
14
00:00:35,436 --> 00:00:37,405
For a whole year.
15
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:39,707
Yeah. That is actually
Something to be thankful for.
16
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:41,409
(pamela laughing)
17
00:00:41,442 --> 00:00:43,411
(roxy speaks indistinctly)
18
00:00:43,444 --> 00:00:46,314
Um, ladies, I think
The concert's starting.
19
00:00:46,347 --> 00:00:48,316
Oh, yes, yes, we know.
20
00:00:48,349 --> 00:00:50,251
Escaped just in time.
21
00:00:50,284 --> 00:00:53,154
I swear, if it
Isn't singing children,
22
00:00:53,187 --> 00:00:56,324
It's puppies to pet
Or bingo cards to fill in.
23
00:00:56,357 --> 00:01:01,195
No, thank you.
But I'm sure your children
Are adorable.
24
00:01:01,229 --> 00:01:02,763
Yeah, most of the time.
25
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:05,166
Yeah, today I could have
Drop-kicked them
26
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:09,170
Across the parade ground.
Parade ground? You live
In fort marshall then?
27
00:01:09,203 --> 00:01:11,205
Yes, ma'am.
28
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:14,342
So did I, down in what
Used to be called "The marsh."
That's where I live.
29
00:01:14,375 --> 00:01:16,177
Yeah?
Yeah. I'm roxy.
30
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:19,313
Pamela.
Elsie.
This is virginia.
31
00:01:19,347 --> 00:01:20,648
Hello.
32
00:01:20,681 --> 00:01:22,683
You both lived
At fort marshall?
33
00:01:22,716 --> 00:01:25,186
Yes, 66 years ago.
Oh!
34
00:01:25,219 --> 00:01:27,155
Wow. Y'all have been
Friends that long?
35
00:01:27,188 --> 00:01:29,823
Well, not exactly.
36
00:01:29,857 --> 00:01:32,860
We hated each other
At first.
That--that--
That's not true.
37
00:01:32,893 --> 00:01:35,463
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
She hated me.
38
00:01:35,496 --> 00:01:37,465
No, I did not hate you.
39
00:01:37,498 --> 00:01:41,235
I-I-I just had my doubts
About you.
40
00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:43,637
Oh. I'm sorry.
We don't mean to argue.
41
00:01:43,671 --> 00:01:46,174
No, that's okay.
It's entertaining.
42
00:01:46,207 --> 00:01:47,074
(chuckles)
43
00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:50,644
So what was fort marshall
Like back then?
44
00:01:50,678 --> 00:01:53,614
Oh, well--
Don't ask her.
She can't remember anything.
45
00:01:53,647 --> 00:01:55,749
Would you just stop?
46
00:01:55,783 --> 00:02:01,289
Oh, it does feel like it's
Three or four lifetimes ago.
47
00:02:01,322 --> 00:02:03,291
That's because it was.
48
00:02:03,324 --> 00:02:04,658
Mm-hmm.
49
00:02:04,692 --> 00:02:09,330
It was the summer of 1943.
50
00:02:09,363 --> 00:02:14,368
Back then there was not a soul
Who wasn't doing something
51
00:02:14,402 --> 00:02:16,937
For the war effort,
To contribute--
52
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,240
Soldiers, factory workers,
Volunteers.
53
00:02:19,273 --> 00:02:21,242
Now I was
A newspaper reporter,
54
00:02:21,275 --> 00:02:23,644
And I helped out by doing
What I did best--
55
00:02:23,677 --> 00:02:26,647
I covered it all for
The charleston "Daily eagle."
56
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,749
Oh.
57
00:02:28,782 --> 00:02:30,551
(swing band playing
"In the mood")
58
00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:34,288
Perfect.
Ah! Okay, enough with
The pictures, elsie.
59
00:02:34,322 --> 00:02:36,290
Put the camera down.
Dance a little.
60
00:02:36,324 --> 00:02:38,259
I'm working.
61
00:02:38,292 --> 00:02:41,195
Ah, don't kid me.
You're prospecting.
62
00:02:41,229 --> 00:02:42,863
Okay, so maybe I am.
63
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:46,600
What happened to that sailor
You dug up last week?
64
00:02:46,634 --> 00:02:48,536
Oh, I gave him
The old heave-ho.
65
00:02:48,569 --> 00:02:50,571
So go find me
Someone handsome, loaded,
66
00:02:50,604 --> 00:02:52,573
And terrified
Of wedding bells.
67
00:02:52,606 --> 00:02:54,575
Always the romantic.
68
00:02:54,608 --> 00:02:56,577
Hey, it's a new day,
Lorraine.
69
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:58,912
Oh, brother.
70
00:02:58,946 --> 00:03:01,549
(elsie) the first time
I laid eyes on virginia,
71
00:03:01,582 --> 00:03:03,751
I swear she looked
Like a movie star
72
00:03:03,784 --> 00:03:05,986
Who got off
At the wrong bus stop.
73
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:08,489
Look at her--
Miss hotsy-totsy.
74
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:10,591
If she stuck that nose
Up any higher,
75
00:03:10,624 --> 00:03:13,627
We'd be scraping it
Off the ceiling.
76
00:03:13,661 --> 00:03:17,865
(music continues)
77
00:03:17,898 --> 00:03:19,267
Relax.
78
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,536
You know I'm not
Good at this, worth.
79
00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:24,572
Don't be shy.
80
00:03:24,605 --> 00:03:27,475
Here,
Let me take your wrap.
81
00:03:27,508 --> 00:03:30,478
Why don't you get some coffee?
I'll be right over.
82
00:03:30,511 --> 00:03:33,514
(music continues)
83
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,019
(song ends)
84
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,988
(cheers and applause)
85
00:03:41,021 --> 00:03:44,525
Two coffees, please.
One black, one with cream.
86
00:03:44,558 --> 00:03:48,796
This look like a waitress
Uniform to you, sister?
87
00:03:48,829 --> 00:03:50,531
S-sorry.
88
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:54,435
It's self-serve,
Like an automat.
89
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:58,706
Only I bet you've never been
To an automat before, have you?
90
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:00,774
Think you can figure it out?
91
00:04:00,808 --> 00:04:04,678
(playing
"Boogie woogie bugle boy")
92
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:10,484
Hey, sugar. You rationed?
93
00:04:10,518 --> 00:04:13,654
I haven't heard that one
In the last five minutes.
94
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:15,956
Let's give it a whirl.
Yeah?
95
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:17,991
(music continues)
96
00:04:18,025 --> 00:04:21,028
* he was a famous trumpet man
From out chicago way *
97
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:23,564
* he had a boogie style
That no one else could play *
98
00:04:23,597 --> 00:04:25,899
* he was the top man
At his craft *
99
00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:27,435
Hey, whoa!
100
00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:28,869
Oh! What the hell?
101
00:04:28,902 --> 00:04:30,971
Sorry. It was an...
102
00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:33,374
* blowin' reveille, he's
The boogie woogie bugle boy... *
103
00:04:33,407 --> 00:04:35,943
An accident.
104
00:04:35,976 --> 00:04:38,446
Don't worry about it, red.
105
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:41,515
But your--your uniform.
106
00:04:41,549 --> 00:04:43,617
I'll--I'll go--
I'll go get a rag.
107
00:04:43,651 --> 00:04:46,954
Hey, what about us?
You, take a powder.
108
00:04:46,987 --> 00:04:48,956
You...
109
00:04:48,989 --> 00:04:51,459
Don't go anywhere.
110
00:04:51,492 --> 00:04:53,561
* a-toot a-toot, a-toot
Diddle-ee-ada-toot *
111
00:04:53,594 --> 00:04:56,764
* he blows it eight to the bar
In boogie rhythm *
112
00:04:56,797 --> 00:04:58,632
* he can't blow a note
113
00:04:58,666 --> 00:05:01,502
* unless the bass and guitar
Is playin' with him *
114
00:05:01,535 --> 00:05:02,903
Could I borrow a rag?
115
00:05:02,936 --> 00:05:05,906
Here.
116
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:08,509
Thanks.
117
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:13,681
* he was our boogie woogie
Bugle boy of company b *
118
00:05:13,714 --> 00:05:15,549
Calvin.
119
00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:19,119
Hey. I got off early,
Thought we could go out.
120
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:21,789
Sure.
I get off in a half-hour.
121
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:23,391
* ...To the bar
122
00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:26,560
* he's the boogie woogie
Bugle boy of company b *
123
00:05:26,594 --> 00:05:30,431
(music continues)
124
00:05:30,464 --> 00:05:32,633
I'll be waiting
In the parking lot.
125
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:44,445
Evening, mr. D'angelo.
126
00:05:44,478 --> 00:05:46,414
Evening, lois.
Who was that?
127
00:05:46,447 --> 00:05:47,515
That's lois collins.
128
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:50,551
She's the new cleaning woman
I hired at the bar.
Oh.
129
00:05:50,584 --> 00:05:52,386
Dale! Hazel.
130
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:54,488
Hi!
How are you?
131
00:05:54,522 --> 00:05:56,657
How are you doing?
Hi.
132
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:59,493
Lieutenant,
This is dale d'angelo.
133
00:05:59,527 --> 00:06:02,396
Runs the best roadhouse
In all of charleston.
134
00:06:02,430 --> 00:06:04,832
I'll make a note of it.
Worth palmer. My wife virginia.
135
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:07,435
Pleasure, lieutenant.
My wife hazel.
136
00:06:07,468 --> 00:06:09,437
She's a w.A.S.P.
137
00:06:09,470 --> 00:06:10,738
Excuse me?
138
00:06:10,771 --> 00:06:13,106
A women air force
Service pilot.
139
00:06:13,140 --> 00:06:16,444
Hazel and dale were both
Pilots before the war.
140
00:06:16,477 --> 00:06:18,446
Yeah,
I'd be in uniform, too,
141
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:21,582
If I hadn't come down a little
Too hard in a jenny in '27.
So you're 4-f?
142
00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:24,585
Yeah. Yeah. Hazel's gonna
Have to carry the flag
143
00:06:24,618 --> 00:06:26,587
For the family now.
144
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:30,023
But I can still manage
A pretty decent box step.
145
00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:38,599
* I'll be seeing you
146
00:06:38,632 --> 00:06:46,707
* in all the old
Familiar places *
147
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:53,547
* that this heart
Of mine embraces *
148
00:06:53,581 --> 00:07:01,088
* all day through
149
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:08,629
* in that small café
150
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:15,435
* we'll park across the way
151
00:07:17,137 --> 00:07:23,243
* the children's carousel
152
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:26,947
* the chestnut trees
153
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:30,618
* the wishing well
154
00:07:30,651 --> 00:07:33,086
(indistinct conversations)
155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,722
Hi.
156
00:07:34,755 --> 00:07:36,757
Hey!
157
00:07:40,227 --> 00:07:43,163
(speaking indistinctly)
158
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,165
Understand?
159
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:47,635
(men laugh)
Excuse me.
160
00:07:47,668 --> 00:07:51,605
You lookin'
At something, boy?
161
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:55,976
That's my car.
162
00:07:56,009 --> 00:07:59,713
How's someone like you
Get a car like this?
163
00:07:59,747 --> 00:08:01,682
(men laugh)
164
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:04,985
Please.
165
00:08:05,018 --> 00:08:06,987
(chuckles)
166
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:09,056
Please what?
167
00:08:09,089 --> 00:08:12,960
Get off my car.
168
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:15,863
I'd watch your mouth, boy.
169
00:08:15,896 --> 00:08:19,266
He didn't mean nothing
By it, mister.
170
00:08:19,299 --> 00:08:21,602
Best you listen
To the woman, boy.
171
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:26,874
Now let me hear you
Say "Please" again.
172
00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:29,209
I said it once.
173
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,244
You leave him alone!
Virginia.
174
00:08:31,278 --> 00:08:33,547
This man is a member
Of our armed forces!
175
00:08:33,581 --> 00:08:36,249
You treat him with respect!
Really, mister,
We don't want no trouble.
176
00:08:36,283 --> 00:08:39,152
You ain't half bad, sweetheart.
Maybe you and me could...
177
00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:41,154
(grunts)
Hey!
178
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:44,592
(men murmuring)
179
00:08:50,631 --> 00:08:52,199
You're gonna pay for that.
180
00:08:52,232 --> 00:08:54,835
He didn't mean it.
He's sorry!
181
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:56,637
You all saw it.
He's gonna hang!
182
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:59,006
He sucker punched me!
183
00:09:01,008 --> 00:09:04,878
No. No, he didn't.
184
00:09:04,912 --> 00:09:08,115
(grunts)
I did.
185
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:13,153
(chuckles)
You two are dead!
186
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:18,626
You take them on,
You take us all on.
187
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,876
Come on. Forget it.
188
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:42,983
All right,
Let's all just go home
189
00:09:43,016 --> 00:09:45,986
And pretend this never happened.
190
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:48,055
(lowered voice)
You're a damn fool.
191
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:50,090
Yes, sergeant.
192
00:09:56,864 --> 00:09:58,331
(whispers) calvin...
193
00:09:58,365 --> 00:10:00,801
(sobs)
194
00:10:03,971 --> 00:10:06,774
(elsie) a week after
That awful incident,
195
00:10:06,807 --> 00:10:08,776
I ran into virginia again.
196
00:10:08,809 --> 00:10:11,178
Hey! Wait up.
197
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:16,817
Okay, listen.
I was a real jerk.
198
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:19,820
I figured you for one of those
Upper east side dames
199
00:10:19,853 --> 00:10:21,955
Who walk poodles in fur coats,
That kind of thing.
200
00:10:21,989 --> 00:10:25,158
I am an upper east side dame,
And my mom has a poodle.
201
00:10:25,192 --> 00:10:28,161
But she also led the women's
Suffrage movement in manhattan.
202
00:10:28,195 --> 00:10:29,763
Yeah?
203
00:10:29,797 --> 00:10:31,765
Yeah, and my dad
Fought in france.
204
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:35,302
So you got me all wrong,
Sister.
Look, what I'm tryin'
To say is,
205
00:10:35,335 --> 00:10:37,738
What you did the other night
Took real guts.
206
00:10:37,771 --> 00:10:40,808
My husband said it took
A lack of brains.
207
00:10:40,841 --> 00:10:43,110
Well, that, too. This isn't
Exactly fifth avenue.
208
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:45,178
So I'm discovering.
209
00:10:47,214 --> 00:10:48,982
Virginia.
210
00:10:49,016 --> 00:10:50,250
Elsie.
211
00:10:50,283 --> 00:10:53,754
So what do you say
We bury the hatchet
212
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,455
Over a cup of mud somewhere?
213
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,158
And I promise I won't
Point out which is the milk
214
00:10:58,191 --> 00:11:01,161
And which is the sugar.
Deal.
215
00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:03,864
And that's how it happened,
216
00:11:03,897 --> 00:11:06,700
And we became fast friends
From that day on.
217
00:11:06,734 --> 00:11:09,770
Wait, wait, wait.
What about you and paul?
218
00:11:09,803 --> 00:11:11,438
Yeah. You can't
Leave us hanging.
219
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:14,007
Yeah, it sounded like you
Were meant to be together.
220
00:11:14,041 --> 00:11:16,176
Did you get it on?
Hmm?
221
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:18,846
Roxy?
What? I want to know.
222
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:20,247
Look at you.
223
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,717
66 years later,
And you're still blushing.
224
00:11:23,751 --> 00:11:25,485
I'll--I'll tell you
What happened.
225
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:29,790
No, you won't.
It's my story. I'll tell.
226
00:11:29,823 --> 00:11:32,159
(laughing)
227
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:36,964
Paul and I continued
To see each other--
228
00:11:36,997 --> 00:11:38,966
"See each other"?
229
00:11:38,999 --> 00:11:41,501
You were gaga
From the moment you met.
230
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:44,004
Do you mind?
(laughs)
231
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:48,942
For the first few weeks,
It was hot and heavy.
232
00:11:48,976 --> 00:11:54,081
And then out of nowhere,
It--it... It cooled off.
233
00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:59,019
Paul seemed to drift away...
234
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:02,455
Like he was tired
Of me already.
235
00:12:02,489 --> 00:12:05,392
So what did you do?
236
00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:09,429
Well, I went to visit my cousin
Lorraine at the shipyards
237
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:12,065
To ask her about it.
238
00:12:16,937 --> 00:12:19,339
Oh!
239
00:12:19,372 --> 00:12:21,909
Hey, cuz. Feelin' better?
240
00:12:21,942 --> 00:12:24,978
No. He's avoiding me.
I don't know why, but he is.
241
00:12:25,012 --> 00:12:29,082
Oh, elsie, you're all wet.
Paul's crazy about you.
242
00:12:29,116 --> 00:12:31,384
They're in intensive training,
That's all.
243
00:12:31,418 --> 00:12:34,922
He could at least stop by.
Maybe I scared him off.
244
00:12:34,955 --> 00:12:37,925
What, you mean the way you,
Uh, put him in a headlock
245
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:40,360
Every time he shows up?
246
00:12:40,393 --> 00:12:43,530
That was a joke, cuz. Joke.
247
00:12:43,563 --> 00:12:47,134
Did you ever think maybe
He's just trying to spare you?
248
00:12:47,167 --> 00:12:49,803
Spare me what, happiness?
249
00:12:49,837 --> 00:12:53,506
Worrying, staying attached
To somebody who's not around.
250
00:12:53,540 --> 00:12:56,409
Warren says the boys could be
Gone more than two years.
251
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,812
Well, all right then.
Two can play that game.
252
00:12:58,846 --> 00:13:00,814
Yeah.
Plenty of fish in the sea.
253
00:13:00,848 --> 00:13:03,350
I can go back to the old elsie.
Yeah.
254
00:13:03,383 --> 00:13:05,352
It's been a nice
Couple of months, paul,
255
00:13:05,385 --> 00:13:08,822
But hit the road,
Toodle-oo and so long.
256
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:10,290
Elsie?
257
00:13:10,323 --> 00:13:11,558
How--
258
00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:13,326
How did you--
259
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,328
Virginia told me
You were here.
260
00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:17,264
Technically,
I'm a.W.O.L. Right now,
261
00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:20,934
So this has gotta be quick.
262
00:13:20,968 --> 00:13:25,305
I need to talk to you
In private.
263
00:13:25,338 --> 00:13:27,340
No.
264
00:13:27,374 --> 00:13:30,577
If this is the big kiss off,
You can do it right here.
265
00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:32,612
Elsie--
No, just say it.
266
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:35,849
(machines whirring)
267
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:46,026
Elsie...
268
00:13:46,059 --> 00:13:49,562
You'd make me the happiest guy
In the world if you'd marry me.
269
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:57,470
Well, go on! Say something!
270
00:13:57,504 --> 00:13:59,506
(cries) yeah.
271
00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:09,016
(virginia) as if you
Were going to say no?
272
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:13,253
Oh, hush.
It was very romantic.
273
00:14:13,286 --> 00:14:14,955
I'll say.
274
00:14:14,988 --> 00:14:18,358
Yeah, I'm gettin' all misty.
So what happened next?
275
00:14:18,391 --> 00:14:21,328
The boys were shipping out.
There was no time to wait.
276
00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:23,931
We planned the wedding
For that weekend.
277
00:14:23,964 --> 00:14:27,667
But first we gave you
A party on the beach,
278
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:31,138
Just we girls.
I forgot about that!
279
00:14:31,171 --> 00:14:34,207
And you brought your camera.
Yes! Yes!
Yes, I did!
280
00:14:34,241 --> 00:14:36,576
(virginia) pinup girls were
All the rage back then.
281
00:14:36,609 --> 00:14:38,912
We decided if our boys
Were going to be
282
00:14:38,946 --> 00:14:41,281
Pinning anybody
Up on their walls,
283
00:14:41,314 --> 00:14:43,550
It was going to be us,
Not betty grable.
284
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:44,952
Ready?
285
00:14:44,985 --> 00:14:46,519
Smile.
286
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:47,554
(camera shutter clicks)
287
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:50,190
Great. Perfect.
288
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:52,259
(woman) yay!
Hey, virginia.
289
00:14:52,292 --> 00:14:54,161
(elsie) perfect.
Show off those curves.
290
00:14:54,194 --> 00:14:56,329
(woman) ooh!
(woman) ooh!
291
00:14:56,363 --> 00:14:58,198
Nice.
(all laugh)
292
00:14:58,231 --> 00:14:59,499
All right, hazel, come on.
293
00:14:59,532 --> 00:15:01,134
(camera shutter clicks,
Women laugh)
294
00:15:01,168 --> 00:15:03,103
Ready?
(click)
295
00:15:03,136 --> 00:15:05,438
Okay.
Big salute.
296
00:15:05,472 --> 00:15:08,141
(click)
And there she is.
297
00:15:08,175 --> 00:15:11,211
Okay, almost married lady,
You're next.
Now you just press this button
Right here, all right?
298
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:14,181
Put a lid on it.
I know how to take a picture.
That button.
299
00:15:14,214 --> 00:15:15,882
Don't touch anything else.
Okay. Okay.
300
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:20,687
(camera shutter clicks)
We didn't know it till years
Later, but on that same day,
301
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,224
Another conversation was
Taking place on another beach.
302
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:26,193
***
303
00:15:26,226 --> 00:15:30,097
Come on, calvin,
What's the matter?
304
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:32,399
I heard from my cousin
In canada.
305
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:35,135
He got a tool and die factory
Up there,
306
00:15:35,168 --> 00:15:38,405
Said there's a job for me
If I want it after the war.
307
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:40,373
Canada?
Mm.
308
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:42,509
That's not our country.
What, like this is?
309
00:15:42,542 --> 00:15:44,177
Calvin washington,
310
00:15:44,211 --> 00:15:46,446
You wear the uniform of
The united states army.
311
00:15:46,479 --> 00:15:48,581
So I can drive boxes
Of paper clips
312
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:51,051
From one end of post
To another?
313
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:54,121
So I can walk with my girl
On a colored-only beach?
314
00:15:54,154 --> 00:15:56,356
They won't let us fight,
Lois.
315
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:59,192
Like our blood
Ain't as red as theirs.
316
00:15:59,226 --> 00:16:01,194
Things will get better.
Hmm.
317
00:16:01,228 --> 00:16:04,197
They will. President roosevelt's
Gonna make things better.
318
00:16:04,231 --> 00:16:07,100
(laughs) what can he do?
319
00:16:07,134 --> 00:16:08,201
Plenty.
320
00:16:08,235 --> 00:16:10,103
Wasn't all that long ago
321
00:16:10,137 --> 00:16:12,072
Colored folks were sold off
Like cattle
322
00:16:12,105 --> 00:16:15,408
Just a few miles
From where we're standing.
323
00:16:15,442 --> 00:16:17,410
I love you, calvin,
324
00:16:17,444 --> 00:16:19,612
But if you let this anger
Eat you up,
325
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:23,250
It is gonna destroy you...
And us.
326
00:16:23,283 --> 00:16:26,486
And I'm not gonna stand by
And watch that happen.
327
00:16:29,556 --> 00:16:32,259
Hey.
328
00:16:32,292 --> 00:16:35,528
Wait up.
329
00:16:35,562 --> 00:16:37,530
So blacks and whites
Couldn't even walk
330
00:16:37,564 --> 00:16:40,100
On the same beach together?
331
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:43,103
Yeah, we forget how different
Things really were back then.
332
00:16:43,136 --> 00:16:46,773
Oh, yes, they were.
333
00:16:46,806 --> 00:16:49,309
Okay.
334
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:52,179
So where did you get married?
335
00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:54,581
Little church in town.
336
00:16:54,614 --> 00:16:58,285
My cousin lorraine was
The only actual family there,
337
00:16:58,318 --> 00:17:01,421
But by that time, I felt like
I had a new family--
338
00:17:01,454 --> 00:17:05,825
Worth and virginia
And dale and hazel.
339
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:10,063
(virginia) we had the reception
At dale's roadhouse--
340
00:17:10,097 --> 00:17:13,133
Beer and boiled shrimp
341
00:17:13,166 --> 00:17:15,135
And lemon cake.
342
00:17:15,168 --> 00:17:17,137
(elsie laughs)
343
00:17:17,170 --> 00:17:20,573
(glenn miller's
"String of pearls" playing)
344
00:17:29,516 --> 00:17:33,120
Hey, come on. Cheer up.
345
00:17:33,153 --> 00:17:34,521
It's a wedding.
346
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:36,523
I can't help it.
347
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:39,859
We've never
Been apart before.
348
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:43,696
When this war is over,
We will never be apart again.
349
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:46,666
Promise me
You're coming home.
350
00:17:46,699 --> 00:17:50,170
We're all coming home.
351
00:17:50,203 --> 00:17:53,773
(warren) it's time. Toast!
(clinking bottle)
352
00:17:53,806 --> 00:17:56,243
Toast!
Toast!
353
00:17:56,276 --> 00:17:58,211
Come on. Come on.
354
00:17:58,245 --> 00:18:00,213
Well...
355
00:18:00,247 --> 00:18:03,183
I've never been
Much of a talker,
356
00:18:03,216 --> 00:18:05,352
But...
357
00:18:05,385 --> 00:18:08,288
I want to toast my wife.
358
00:18:10,157 --> 00:18:11,658
Wow. That sounds strange.
359
00:18:11,691 --> 00:18:14,661
And it only gets stranger,
So get used to it.
360
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:17,130
(all chuckling)
361
00:18:17,164 --> 00:18:21,634
We, um, we didn't ask
For this fight,
362
00:18:21,668 --> 00:18:25,772
But here it is.
363
00:18:25,805 --> 00:18:28,875
And we're gonna win it,
364
00:18:28,908 --> 00:18:31,711
Because we got to...
365
00:18:31,744 --> 00:18:35,715
Because we know
What we're fighting for.
366
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,690
To my wife...
367
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:49,329
To our friends...
368
00:18:49,362 --> 00:18:51,331
To the army,
369
00:18:51,364 --> 00:18:54,834
And to
The united states of america.
370
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:56,703
(warren) cheers.
Cheers.
371
00:18:56,736 --> 00:18:59,406
Cheers.
372
00:19:14,354 --> 00:19:17,724
Thank you, uh... Pamela?
373
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:19,259
Yes. You're welcome.
374
00:19:19,292 --> 00:19:21,328
(chuckles)
375
00:19:21,361 --> 00:19:23,830
They all shipped out
At the same time?
376
00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:25,598
Same day.
377
00:19:25,632 --> 00:19:27,867
I'd been a bride
For less than a week,
378
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:31,338
Saying good-bye to my husband
For who knows how long.
379
00:19:31,371 --> 00:19:32,539
(chuckles)
380
00:19:32,572 --> 00:19:36,276
The boys were
Going to england,
381
00:19:36,309 --> 00:19:39,912
Getting ready
To fight the germans.
382
00:19:39,946 --> 00:19:43,516
But there were
Still some battles
383
00:19:43,550 --> 00:19:45,918
To be won here at home.
384
00:19:51,324 --> 00:19:53,493
Almost done.
385
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:55,595
Mm-hmm.
386
00:19:58,798 --> 00:20:03,503
I'm sorry, mr. D'angelo.
I'm here to pick up lois.
387
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:07,240
Now you stay put, calvin.
I don't mind if you wait here.
388
00:20:15,782 --> 00:20:18,017
In our heyday.
389
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:21,521
A week later,
I set that baby nose-down
390
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:24,457
In a south dakota cornfield.
391
00:20:24,491 --> 00:20:27,694
'cause of that,
I gotta wait out the war.
392
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:31,431
You're not the only one
Who's gotta sit this war out.
What you talkin' about?
393
00:20:31,464 --> 00:20:33,600
Well, they may let me
Wear this uniform,
394
00:20:33,633 --> 00:20:37,437
But they won't let
Negroes see combat.
395
00:20:37,470 --> 00:20:39,406
That doesn't make any sense.
396
00:20:39,439 --> 00:20:41,874
No, sir.
397
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:45,445
We can cook and clean,
Drive trucks,
398
00:20:45,478 --> 00:20:50,016
But they won't let negroes fight
Or eat with white soldiers.
399
00:20:50,049 --> 00:20:53,753
Hell, I can't even
Get a beer here.
400
00:21:22,515 --> 00:21:24,484
That'll be a nickel.
401
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:30,523
Anybody saw you, they'd
Run you out of town on a rail.
402
00:21:30,557 --> 00:21:33,926
It's not getting any colder
Just sittin' there.
403
00:21:37,697 --> 00:21:40,667
(change jangles)
404
00:21:46,806 --> 00:21:49,742
(cash register dings,
Drawer opens and closes)
405
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:55,782
Here's to you, soldier.
406
00:22:02,755 --> 00:22:04,724
(virginia) lois told me later
407
00:22:04,757 --> 00:22:07,794
You could have knocked
Her over with a feather.
408
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:09,796
(elsie)
In the meantime,
409
00:22:09,829 --> 00:22:13,766
The months were dragging on,
And I was going crazy.
410
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,870
And then I hit on a scheme
Where I could see paul again
411
00:22:17,904 --> 00:22:19,806
And help the war effort.
412
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:21,808
I joined the red cross.
413
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:24,744
I wrangled myself
A transfer to london.
414
00:22:24,777 --> 00:22:27,747
Now paul couldn't get leave
Very often, but when he did,
415
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:29,749
We made the most of it.
416
00:22:29,782 --> 00:22:32,785
(glenn miller's
"Serenade in blue" playing)
417
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,038
(rainfall)
418
00:22:52,071 --> 00:22:55,174
This is gonna be
My last visit for a while.
419
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:57,844
(thunder rumbling)
420
00:22:57,877 --> 00:23:01,448
(rainfall)
421
00:23:01,481 --> 00:23:04,484
I sort of thought
You were gonna tell me that.
422
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:10,790
Paul didn't
Have to tell me why.
423
00:23:10,823 --> 00:23:15,094
I knew.
The whole world knew.
424
00:23:15,127 --> 00:23:17,630
(virginia) our boys
Were the first
425
00:23:17,664 --> 00:23:19,699
To parachute into normandy.
426
00:23:19,732 --> 00:23:23,503
We prayed for our loved ones,
But it was crazy to think
427
00:23:23,536 --> 00:23:28,407
We'd all get out of
That terrible war unscathed.
428
00:23:38,084 --> 00:23:40,019
Strike up the band.
429
00:23:40,052 --> 00:23:41,754
Stop it.
430
00:23:41,788 --> 00:23:43,990
(elsie) a nazi bullet
Severed warren's spine
431
00:23:44,023 --> 00:23:46,793
Before his parachute
Even hit the ground.
432
00:23:46,826 --> 00:23:49,796
He got a desk job
In the very same building
433
00:23:49,829 --> 00:23:54,000
Where we all first met
At that u.S.O. Dance.
434
00:23:54,033 --> 00:23:56,603
What are you doing?
You'll be late.
435
00:23:56,636 --> 00:23:59,472
I can't do this.
436
00:23:59,506 --> 00:24:01,741
What are you
Talking about?
437
00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:03,743
(voice breaking) I can't
438
00:24:03,776 --> 00:24:05,945
Come squeaking in
To work every morning,
439
00:24:05,978 --> 00:24:08,915
And have people make brave faces
At the cripple.
440
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:10,950
I...
441
00:24:10,983 --> 00:24:13,085
President roosevelt
Is in a wheelchair.
442
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,154
Is he a cripple?
443
00:24:15,187 --> 00:24:17,590
And what about the other boys
Who've been injured,
444
00:24:17,624 --> 00:24:20,927
Many of them
A lot worse than you?
Is that supposed
To make me feel better?
445
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,996
No. No, it's supposed
To remind you
446
00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:27,033
Of who you are,
Warren sullivan.
447
00:24:27,066 --> 00:24:29,235
The man I married
Would never let anybody
448
00:24:29,268 --> 00:24:31,003
Feel sorry for themselves.
449
00:24:31,037 --> 00:24:35,575
He'd give them a swift kick
And tell them to snap out of it.
450
00:24:35,608 --> 00:24:37,944
I...
451
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:41,013
How can you live
With me like this?
452
00:24:46,553 --> 00:24:51,257
The same way I lived
With you before...
453
00:24:51,290 --> 00:24:54,994
With love and laughter
454
00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:57,029
And music.
455
00:25:00,132 --> 00:25:02,935
I'm not leaving you, warren,
456
00:25:02,969 --> 00:25:05,572
And I'll never stop loving you.
457
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:22,922
(elsie) lorraine saved
Warren's life that day
458
00:25:22,955 --> 00:25:25,124
As sure as the medics
Did in normandy.
459
00:25:25,157 --> 00:25:27,226
(virginia)
He got out and about again,
460
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:29,829
Spent a lot of time
At dale's roadhouse.
461
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:31,898
I saw them all the time,
462
00:25:31,931 --> 00:25:34,266
Because with elsie
Gone to england,
463
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:36,235
Lorraine and hazel took me in.
464
00:25:36,268 --> 00:25:38,237
"It's been rough here,
Sweetheart.
465
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:41,140
"The nazis won't cooperate
With the spanking
466
00:25:41,173 --> 00:25:43,943
We're trying to give them."
Oh!
467
00:25:43,976 --> 00:25:46,813
He says he's being
Promoted to captain.
Oh!
468
00:25:46,846 --> 00:25:50,583
Oh! Oh, that's great.
Where is he? (laughs)
(laughs)
469
00:25:50,617 --> 00:25:52,819
Sorry, dale.
470
00:25:52,852 --> 00:25:53,953
(laughs)
471
00:25:53,986 --> 00:25:57,289
You know, I am gonna have to
Teach you how to play chess.
472
00:25:57,323 --> 00:25:59,291
Now there's a--
There's a real game.
473
00:25:59,325 --> 00:26:01,594
Don't flip your wig.
You just hate losin'.
Yeah.
474
00:26:01,628 --> 00:26:03,963
You know, I'm gettin' you
Another cold one.
475
00:26:03,996 --> 00:26:05,998
(clears throat)
476
00:26:06,032 --> 00:26:09,101
(man speaking indistinctly
On radio)
477
00:26:09,135 --> 00:26:12,371
(indistinct conversations)
478
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:15,007
(man) that's a dangerous pitch
To throw...
479
00:26:15,041 --> 00:26:17,009
(chuckles)
480
00:26:17,043 --> 00:26:19,178
Well, well, well.
481
00:26:19,211 --> 00:26:22,148
Looky here.
You remember me?
482
00:26:22,181 --> 00:26:24,984
I remember you.
483
00:26:25,017 --> 00:26:26,986
Nobody wants any trouble.
484
00:26:27,019 --> 00:26:29,255
Why don't you
Just get out of here?
485
00:26:29,288 --> 00:26:30,923
Yeah? Who's gonna make me,
Huh?
486
00:26:30,957 --> 00:26:32,925
A cripple?
487
00:26:32,959 --> 00:26:35,828
How's that? Is that better?
488
00:26:35,862 --> 00:26:38,297
Come on. Reach me now?
(laughs)
489
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:40,199
(gasps) warren!
490
00:26:40,232 --> 00:26:42,368
(grunts)
491
00:26:42,401 --> 00:26:44,904
Oh! Stop it!
(laughs)
492
00:26:44,937 --> 00:26:46,773
(lorraine) oh, honey!
493
00:26:52,879 --> 00:26:53,946
(clicks)
494
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:55,848
Ooh!
(gasps)
495
00:26:55,882 --> 00:26:58,851
No! No! Dale!
496
00:26:58,885 --> 00:27:01,754
(gasping)
Somebody call a doctor!
497
00:27:01,788 --> 00:27:03,723
You're gonna be okay, dale.
Just hang on.
Okay.
498
00:27:03,756 --> 00:27:06,793
Hang on, okay?
(voice breaks) baby.
499
00:27:06,826 --> 00:27:08,695
Oh.
Shh, shh, shh.
500
00:27:08,728 --> 00:27:10,863
(gasping)
501
00:27:10,897 --> 00:27:11,998
Dale!
502
00:27:12,031 --> 00:27:14,934
Dale! Dale!
503
00:27:14,967 --> 00:27:18,137
(crying)
504
00:27:18,170 --> 00:27:21,741
Dale!
505
00:27:25,277 --> 00:27:27,947
Dale died?
506
00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:31,183
It was terrible.
507
00:27:31,217 --> 00:27:33,152
I can't believe it.
508
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:35,187
That's so incredibly sad.
509
00:27:35,221 --> 00:27:37,156
What--what happened to hazel?
510
00:27:37,189 --> 00:27:41,761
Well, it just...
511
00:27:41,794 --> 00:27:44,096
Tore her up.
512
00:27:44,130 --> 00:27:48,067
I mean, the police
Found the killer,
513
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:52,171
But that was
Small consolation.
514
00:27:52,204 --> 00:27:56,042
Hazel just, um...
515
00:27:56,075 --> 00:27:58,410
Shut down.
516
00:27:58,444 --> 00:28:01,714
She--she left
The w.A.S.P. Service.
517
00:28:01,748 --> 00:28:04,150
We couldn't believe it.
518
00:28:09,989 --> 00:28:13,860
I'm not changing my mind,
So don't even start.
519
00:28:21,968 --> 00:28:24,136
Dale would hate
To see you like this--
520
00:28:24,170 --> 00:28:26,138
Throwing in the towel.
521
00:28:26,172 --> 00:28:28,908
I have a business to run.
522
00:28:28,941 --> 00:28:31,077
Yeah.
523
00:28:33,179 --> 00:28:35,147
Dale once told me
524
00:28:35,181 --> 00:28:38,150
About the, uh, mayor
You took for a ride
525
00:28:38,184 --> 00:28:40,519
Back in
Your barnstorming days.
526
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,188
What mayor?
527
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:45,057
When dale and hazel
First met,
528
00:28:45,091 --> 00:28:48,828
They went to a small town
In iowa--I forget the name--
529
00:28:48,861 --> 00:28:51,497
To do their
Flying exhibition.
530
00:28:51,530 --> 00:28:53,032
Ottumwa.
531
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:54,834
Right. Right, right.
532
00:28:54,867 --> 00:28:56,468
Anyway, um...
533
00:28:56,502 --> 00:28:58,805
The mayor of ottumwa
Didn't want them
534
00:28:58,838 --> 00:29:02,008
Flying their airplane
All over town.
535
00:29:02,041 --> 00:29:04,010
Gave them some
Cockamamy reason.
536
00:29:04,043 --> 00:29:06,979
Yeah, he said it was bad
For the cow's milk.
537
00:29:07,013 --> 00:29:08,981
(chuckles)
What he meant was,
538
00:29:09,015 --> 00:29:10,983
Women shouldn't do
That sort of thing.
539
00:29:11,017 --> 00:29:12,518
That happened all the time.
540
00:29:12,551 --> 00:29:13,953
So what did you do?
541
00:29:13,986 --> 00:29:15,922
(exhales)
542
00:29:15,955 --> 00:29:17,456
Tell her.
543
00:29:17,489 --> 00:29:19,859
Oh.
544
00:29:19,892 --> 00:29:22,829
I offered him
A free 5-minute ride...
545
00:29:22,862 --> 00:29:23,930
(chuckles)
546
00:29:23,963 --> 00:29:26,899
You know, just so he could see
He shouldn't worry.
547
00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:29,836
Took him up and put him through
Ten straight barrel rolls...
548
00:29:29,869 --> 00:29:31,037
Mm-hmm.
549
00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:32,872
A couple of loops
550
00:29:32,905 --> 00:29:36,308
And an immelman turn
Before we set down again.
551
00:29:36,342 --> 00:29:38,410
He let us have our show.
552
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:41,480
Mm. Dale told me
When he saw the mayor
553
00:29:41,513 --> 00:29:43,482
Stagger out of the plane
554
00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:47,854
And you in the cockpit
Trying not to laugh...
555
00:29:47,887 --> 00:29:51,790
That was the moment he fell
In love with you forever.
556
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:56,795
Yeah,
It was a good moment.
557
00:29:58,931 --> 00:30:05,371
Wouldn't dale want you
To keep after your dream?
558
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:07,940
You looked up
To amelia earhart.
559
00:30:07,974 --> 00:30:11,477
Someday, young women
Will be looking up to you.
560
00:30:13,545 --> 00:30:17,816
(sniffles) I just
Miss him so much.
561
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,924
(exhales)
562
00:30:24,957 --> 00:30:27,326
Oh. I know.
563
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:29,862
(virginia) after that...
564
00:30:29,896 --> 00:30:31,998
Hazel came around,
565
00:30:32,031 --> 00:30:37,003
And she decided to stay
A pilot and sell the bar.
566
00:30:37,036 --> 00:30:39,005
(elsie) a nice,
Young couple bought it,
567
00:30:39,038 --> 00:30:41,908
With the most adorable
Little girl, who helped out.
568
00:30:41,941 --> 00:30:44,510
(virginia) oh, yes.
Uh, everybody called her...
569
00:30:44,543 --> 00:30:46,578
Uh, "Dimples."
That's right.
570
00:30:46,612 --> 00:30:48,547
But--but what--
What was her real name?
571
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:50,549
Oh, let me think.
Um...
572
00:30:50,582 --> 00:30:53,385
Uh, uh, betty.
The girl's name was betty.
573
00:30:53,419 --> 00:30:55,354
Wait a minute.
Her name was betty?
574
00:30:55,387 --> 00:30:57,523
(elsie) uh-huh.
(virginia) yeah.
575
00:30:57,556 --> 00:31:00,459
What was the name of the bar?
That's a good story.
576
00:31:00,492 --> 00:31:02,561
Oh, the owner's cousin
Flew missions in burma
577
00:31:02,594 --> 00:31:04,931
Over something they used
To call "The hump,"
578
00:31:04,964 --> 00:31:07,433
And they called it that.
(chuckles)
The hump bar.
579
00:31:07,466 --> 00:31:10,502
Oh, my god. That's my bar.
We knew betty.
580
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:14,406
She was like a mother to me.
Imagine that!
581
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,443
(laughs) "Dimples."
She kept that one to herself.
582
00:31:17,476 --> 00:31:19,578
(virginia) oh!
(pamela and elsie laugh)
583
00:31:19,611 --> 00:31:24,516
Well, of course, all of this was
Before I got back from london.
584
00:31:24,550 --> 00:31:27,253
Why'd you come back?
585
00:31:27,286 --> 00:31:28,620
I had my reasons.
586
00:31:28,654 --> 00:31:32,358
Oh, those stolen nights
In london
587
00:31:32,391 --> 00:31:35,527
Had paid a very big dividend.
588
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:37,563
One that kicked.
589
00:31:37,596 --> 00:31:40,432
By the time I got stateside,
I was so pregnant,
590
00:31:40,466 --> 00:31:43,102
I'd forgotten there were
Feet attached to my legs.
591
00:31:43,135 --> 00:31:46,372
I couldn't see them.
Paul couldn't come with me.
592
00:31:46,405 --> 00:31:50,509
The boys were still
In the thick of it.
593
00:31:50,542 --> 00:31:54,546
We thought for sure they
Would be home at christmas,
594
00:31:54,580 --> 00:31:57,349
But hitler had other plans.
595
00:31:57,383 --> 00:32:01,653
(man) * I'll be home
For christmas *
596
00:32:01,687 --> 00:32:05,457
(virginia) there was still some
Good news to celebrate, though.
597
00:32:05,491 --> 00:32:09,628
Black soldiers were finally
Allowed to fight in combat.
598
00:32:09,661 --> 00:32:13,332
Calvin was going off
To war at last,
599
00:32:13,365 --> 00:32:17,403
And he and lois
Were getting married.
600
00:32:17,436 --> 00:32:19,405
I'm so proud of you.
601
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:22,374
I can't actually believe
It's really happening.
602
00:32:22,408 --> 00:32:25,411
It's like I told you.
Things are changing, calvin.
603
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:26,645
They really are.
604
00:32:26,678 --> 00:32:28,647
Okay, but we still
Have to hide out here
605
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,582
With the shades pulled.
606
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:33,119
One step at a time, mister.
607
00:32:33,152 --> 00:32:34,520
(chuckles)
608
00:32:34,553 --> 00:32:36,288
* ...Will find me
609
00:32:36,322 --> 00:32:39,425
Calvin, congratulations.
610
00:32:39,458 --> 00:32:41,293
Thank you, sergeant.
611
00:32:41,327 --> 00:32:43,295
Let me buy you a beer.
Oh, yes, sergeant.
612
00:32:43,329 --> 00:32:44,230
(laughs)
613
00:32:44,263 --> 00:32:46,432
(virginia) of course,
In those days,
614
00:32:46,465 --> 00:32:50,202
It reached the point where
You stopped trusting good news
615
00:32:50,236 --> 00:32:53,239
Because bad news was always
Right around the corner.
616
00:32:53,272 --> 00:32:55,541
(knock on door)
We're closed.
617
00:32:55,574 --> 00:33:00,079
(knocking)
618
00:33:00,112 --> 00:33:02,014
* if only in...
619
00:33:02,048 --> 00:33:04,216
(lorraine sighs)
I'll take care of it.
620
00:33:04,250 --> 00:33:06,252
* my
621
00:33:06,285 --> 00:33:12,024
* dreams
622
00:33:22,368 --> 00:33:25,071
(door closes)
Beg your pardon, ma'am,
623
00:33:25,104 --> 00:33:28,174
But neighbors
Told me you were here.
624
00:33:38,384 --> 00:33:41,820
Oh, no.
625
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:44,823
Virginia.
626
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:48,094
(crying)
627
00:34:03,209 --> 00:34:07,379
(sobs)
628
00:34:07,413 --> 00:34:10,116
It's not for me.
629
00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:12,218
You're not...
630
00:34:12,251 --> 00:34:14,853
(sobs)
631
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:18,190
No.
632
00:34:18,224 --> 00:34:20,092
(crying) no!
633
00:34:20,126 --> 00:34:21,793
No, that isn't true!
634
00:34:21,827 --> 00:34:23,262
Elsie.
635
00:34:23,295 --> 00:34:25,231
(crying) no, it can't be true!
636
00:34:25,264 --> 00:34:28,134
No! No!
(speaks indistinctly)
637
00:34:28,167 --> 00:34:30,836
(speaking indistinctly)
No! Aah! Aah!
638
00:34:30,869 --> 00:34:33,239
Elsie, it's okay.
639
00:34:33,272 --> 00:34:35,274
No!
She's gonna have the baby!
640
00:34:35,307 --> 00:34:38,310
Get her legs!
641
00:34:38,344 --> 00:34:40,846
(crying)
Shh. (whispers) it's okay.
It's okay.
642
00:34:40,879 --> 00:34:44,416
Paul. Paul.
643
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:46,852
We'll call the doctor.
644
00:34:46,885 --> 00:34:49,221
(cries)
645
00:34:55,661 --> 00:34:57,729
I had the baby
646
00:34:57,763 --> 00:35:00,799
Later that night
At the hospital.
647
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:04,136
Surrounded by everyone
Who loved you...
648
00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:06,838
And paul.
649
00:35:06,872 --> 00:35:09,775
So paul was...
650
00:35:09,808 --> 00:35:12,878
Killed at
The battle of the bulge.
651
00:35:15,214 --> 00:35:18,784
The war was over
A few months later.
652
00:35:20,319 --> 00:35:22,388
(man) all of us
Gathered here today...
653
00:35:22,421 --> 00:35:25,224
(elsie) I couldn't let paul
Go that easily,
654
00:35:25,257 --> 00:35:28,727
So virginia had an idea.
655
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,932
(virginia) it was
A simple memorial on post.
656
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:37,169
(man speaking indistinctly)
657
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:42,308
It was a lovely dedication
Out on perimeter road
658
00:35:42,341 --> 00:35:44,810
Near a beautiful gazebo.
659
00:35:44,843 --> 00:35:49,381
That was the last time we were
All together in one place.
660
00:35:52,384 --> 00:35:54,353
Calvin and lois
Moved to atlanta.
661
00:35:54,386 --> 00:35:56,322
He became
A high school teacher,
662
00:35:56,355 --> 00:35:58,957
A mentor
To hundreds of kids.
663
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:02,728
It took some years,
But eventually he and lois
664
00:36:02,761 --> 00:36:05,231
Were able to walk
Into the hump bar
665
00:36:05,264 --> 00:36:08,600
Like any other citizens.
666
00:36:08,634 --> 00:36:12,538
Lorraine and warren
Stayed as close as ever.
667
00:36:12,571 --> 00:36:14,540
Lorraine became
An advocate
668
00:36:14,573 --> 00:36:16,542
For disabled veterans,
669
00:36:16,575 --> 00:36:19,578
Set up all sorts of programs
In the area.
670
00:36:22,848 --> 00:36:27,919
As for hazel...
She fell in love with africa.
671
00:36:27,953 --> 00:36:30,922
Became a bush pilot.
Mm.
672
00:36:30,956 --> 00:36:34,660
It was the old
Barnstorming hazel again.
673
00:36:38,897 --> 00:36:41,500
My dear worth
Left the military,
674
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:45,637
But his wartime experience
Shaped the rest of his life...
675
00:36:45,671 --> 00:36:49,975
A great man, and a great father
To our three children.
676
00:37:00,786 --> 00:37:02,788
As for me,
677
00:37:02,821 --> 00:37:06,792
I never did remarry.
678
00:37:06,825 --> 00:37:09,895
I'd found the love
Of my life.
679
00:37:12,764 --> 00:37:15,834
No one else
Could ever measure up.
680
00:37:26,878 --> 00:37:29,848
So here I am...
681
00:37:29,881 --> 00:37:32,518
An old lady with her memories
682
00:37:32,551 --> 00:37:36,555
And... Hiding out
From kiddie concerts
683
00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:41,727
And... Bingo cards.
684
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,530
Well, I'm glad
You skipped the concert.
685
00:37:44,563 --> 00:37:45,831
Yeah.
686
00:37:45,864 --> 00:37:49,768
I... I-I-I don't know
What to say.
687
00:37:49,801 --> 00:37:53,739
Which for her
Is kind of unbelievable.
(roxy chuckles)
688
00:37:55,807 --> 00:37:58,477
Afternoon, ladies.
689
00:37:58,510 --> 00:37:59,611
Oh! Hello.
690
00:37:59,645 --> 00:38:02,748
Hi.
Oh, are these the ones
With extra chocolate?
691
00:38:02,781 --> 00:38:04,750
Have I ever failed you yet?
692
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:07,353
(chuckles) honey,
I would like you to meet
693
00:38:07,386 --> 00:38:09,355
Two very nice ladies.
694
00:38:09,388 --> 00:38:12,824
Roxy, pamela,
This is my son paul jr.
695
00:38:12,858 --> 00:38:16,762
It's an honor to meet you.
My pleasure.
696
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:18,730
Yeah, I sort of feel like
We already know you.
697
00:38:18,764 --> 00:38:20,732
Well, I hope these
Two lovely ladies
698
00:38:20,766 --> 00:38:24,636
Haven't been bending
Your ear all day.
Oh!
699
00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:28,540
Are you kidding? I could
Come back tomorrow for more.
(laughs)
700
00:38:28,574 --> 00:38:30,942
We're done!
Yeah, can we go now?
701
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:34,413
T.J., don't be rude.
Can we go get pizza tonight
Like you said?
702
00:38:34,446 --> 00:38:36,348
Yes, yes, I think we can.
Yes!
703
00:38:36,382 --> 00:38:39,618
(katie) yes!
704
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:42,621
Well, I guess we gotta go.
705
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:45,591
But, um, we'd like
To come visit you,
706
00:38:45,624 --> 00:38:47,526
If that's okay.
707
00:38:47,559 --> 00:38:49,628
Well, you know where
To find us.
708
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:52,831
Enjoy your children.
709
00:38:52,864 --> 00:38:55,401
They really are a comfort
In old age.
710
00:38:55,434 --> 00:38:57,703
(laughs)
711
00:38:57,736 --> 00:38:59,438
Bye.
712
00:38:59,471 --> 00:39:01,573
Bye.
Bye.
713
00:39:01,607 --> 00:39:02,841
(paul jr.) bye-bye.
Bye.
714
00:39:02,874 --> 00:39:04,610
All right, ladies.
715
00:39:04,643 --> 00:39:06,412
Coming, coming.
716
00:39:06,445 --> 00:39:08,614
I want this one.
(chuckles)
(chuckles)
717
00:39:08,647 --> 00:39:09,881
Mom.
718
00:39:09,915 --> 00:39:13,485
We're coming.
We're coming.
719
00:39:19,825 --> 00:39:22,494
(claudia joy) are you sure
They said near the gazebo?
720
00:39:22,528 --> 00:39:24,596
(roland) maybe they
Were confused.
721
00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:25,831
(pamela) trust me.
722
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:27,833
Those two ladies weren't
Confused about anything.
723
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:30,869
Unless somebody dug it up,
It's gotta be here.
724
00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:36,875
Hey, guys,
I think I found it.
725
00:39:40,579 --> 00:39:42,514
(roxy) ah.
726
00:39:42,548 --> 00:39:45,651
Oh, my god.
There it is.
727
00:39:48,587 --> 00:39:51,590
How many times have we brought
Our kids to this park,
728
00:39:51,623 --> 00:39:54,660
Walked past this very spot?
729
00:39:54,693 --> 00:39:57,663
"In loving memory
Of p.F.C. Paul thompson,
730
00:39:57,696 --> 00:40:01,500
"1918-1944.
731
00:40:01,533 --> 00:40:04,770
He knew what
We were fighting for."
732
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:09,575
So this is where they stood--
733
00:40:09,608 --> 00:40:12,010
All of 'em, right here.
734
00:40:12,043 --> 00:40:14,980
Makes you realize we're not
The first group of army wives
735
00:40:15,013 --> 00:40:17,716
To come together
In tough times.
Not by a long shot.
736
00:40:17,749 --> 00:40:20,552
Mm.
I feel like a bit
Of a jackass
737
00:40:20,586 --> 00:40:23,722
Complaining about laundry
And gas prices.
738
00:40:23,755 --> 00:40:27,693
And this must be
The tree they planted.
739
00:40:27,726 --> 00:40:29,027
(chuckles)
740
00:40:29,060 --> 00:40:31,597
(pamela) yeah.
Will you look at that?
741
00:40:35,233 --> 00:40:37,969
So how did they all meet?
742
00:40:38,003 --> 00:40:42,207
It's a great story.
743
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:44,476
Yeah.
744
00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:46,612
(pamela)
It was a u.S.O. Dance,
745
00:40:46,645 --> 00:40:50,115
And elsie was a photographer
At the local paper.
746
00:40:50,148 --> 00:40:52,250
(roxy) and she was there
With her cousin lorraine,
747
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:56,187
Who, uh, worked for
The shipbuilding factory.
748
00:40:56,221 --> 00:40:58,189
Yeah, and when
She met virginia,
749
00:40:58,223 --> 00:41:00,191
She thought she was gonna be
750
00:41:00,225 --> 00:41:04,530
One of those
Stuck-up new yorkers.
