- Hey, Al.

- Yeah?

- You remember what it felt like when you went overseas?

- As well as I remember my own name.

- I feel the same way now. Only more so.

- I know what you mean.

- Just nervous out of the service, I guess, heh.

- The thing that scares me most is that everybody's gonna try to rehabilitate me. 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 like that.

- You married, Al?

- Yep.

- How long?

- Twenty years.

- 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.

- You and your wife will have a chance to get acquainted, huh?

- Yeah.

- I wonder how Homer will make out with that girl of his.

- Wilma.

- I hope Wilma is a swell girl.

- No.
