Quote context

[...]

- I didn't really come in to buy anything. Dad told me you were working here and I just dropped in to say hello.

- Oh, just a minute. I have... I have an hour off at 1:00. Are you doing anything for lunch?

- Why, no.

- Thank you, madam. I'll meet you outside in 20 minutes. Come in again.

- Thank you.

- The apple and pie, she's a homemade.

- Good.

- Thank you.

- It is a nice little place. I never heard of it before.

- I used to come here now and then in the old days, before the war.

- Sometimes I used to think of this place when I was overseas. I thought, When I get back home I'm never gonna eat in a dump like Lucia's.

- What else did you think you wouldn't do when you were overseas?

- I never had any clear ideas, but there were two things I was sure of. One, that I knew I'd never go back to that drugstore.

- What was the other thing?

- Mm, that was even sillier. I dreamed I was gonna have my own home. Just a nice little house for my wife and me out in the country in the suburbs, anyway.

- That's the cockeyed kind of dream you have when you're overseas.

- You don't have to be overseas to have dreams like that.

- Yeah. You can get crazy ideas right here at home.

- Didn't you say you had to be back at work at 2?

- Yeah.

- Well, hadn't you better...?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I know. You're the junkman. You get everything sooner or later.
Well, that's vanishing cream. This is a vanishing cream remover. I'll tell you how you can save money. If you don't put that on, then you don't need this to take that off.
