Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: [starts to rain and Jane and Bill take refuge in an old barn] Oh boy, we certainly made it just in time! Ho, Ho!
Jane Deborah Hilton: How will we get home if this keeps up? It must be almost seven o'clock.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: [checks his watch] Well, what do you know? You guessed it! It's just exactly 18 minutes to seven.
Jane Deborah Hilton: Only five hours more.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh, I almost forgot for a little while.
Jane Deborah Hilton: I didn't forget. Not for a minute. I've thought about it all day long.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Well, gee, I never thought anybody would care about me... anybody like you.
Jane Deborah Hilton: Bill.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh, Jane! I don't want to leave you!
Jane Deborah Hilton: It won't be for long, darling.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: It might be for months, or for years, maybe.
Jane Deborah Hilton: It doesn't matter. I'll be thinking about you all the time. Someday the war will be over, and then we can be ...
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Then we can be married, Jane?

Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Do you mind if I smoke?
Jane Deborah Hilton: Of course not. Bill, why are you so... so timid about things?
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: What do you mean, Jane?
Jane Deborah Hilton: Oh, I mean about asking if you can smoke. Well, nobody else does that. And, well, I mean everything. Is it... I hope you won't think I'm being forward, but is it something to do with your grandfather?
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: No, it isn't that. Although I suppose I've always been sort of scared of Grandpa.

Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: You see, my father was a soldier. He was a colonel when he died. I guess all the Smolletts all the way back were soldiers. One of them was with Washington at Yorktown. Although sometimes I think Grandpa just made that one up.
Jane Deborah Hilton: I'm sure he didn't. You ought to be awfully proud.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh, I'm proud, all right. But something went wrong with me. Mother died when I was born, so I never knew her. Well, of course I never knew her.
Jane Deborah Hilton: That's a shame.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: She could paint pretty well, china and things. I hope I can show you her work sometime. That is, if Grandpa ...
Jane Deborah Hilton: If Grandpa what?
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Well, if I go home. You see, I haven't lived home since West Point.
Jane Deborah Hilton: West Point?
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh, Jane, you don't want to hear all about this, do you?
Jane Deborah Hilton: Not if you don't want me to, Bill.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh, but I do of course. There's no one in the whole world that I'd rather explain - that I'd rather tell.

Guy Haines: You crazy maniac! Would you please get out of here and leave me alone?
Bruno Anthony: But Guy... I like you.

Jane Deborah Hilton: How are things out at the field?
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh, they're fine, thank you. How's everything with you?
Jane Deborah Hilton: Oh, just fine. I want to get a war job, but Mother won't let me.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Well, I think she's right. You ought to stay home -
Jane Deborah Hilton: No, it isn't that at all. Mother wants me to go to college.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh. Oh, gee. That would take four years, wouldn't it?
Jane Deborah Hilton: If I go.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: You don't want to go?
Jane Deborah Hilton: No, it's so silly. If I were three or four years older, I could be a Wave.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Or a Wac.
Jane Deborah Hilton: Or a nurse. That's what I'd rather be most. A nurse.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: That would be swell if I was wounded.
Jane Deborah Hilton: You shouldn't say such things.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh. I won't be wounded. I'll be killed.
Jane Deborah Hilton: Bill!
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Oh, Jane would you care?
Jane Deborah Hilton: Well, of course I'd care, silly.
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Well, gee, that'd be fine.
Jane Deborah Hilton: What would be fine about it?
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Well, I thought that if - Well, what I mean is I would be glad if you were sorry if I were killed.
Jane Deborah Hilton: What good would that do if you were dead?
Corporal William G. 'Bill' Smollett II: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Jane Deborah Hilton: I don't ever want to hear
