But it's big enough for me
The population is scattered and small
You can't find the town on any map at all
But just the same
To be with Mother and my family
My hometown is a one-horse town
But it's big enough for
Big enough for
Big enough for me
That's a boy, Bill!
Hey, there's Miller's Pond.
We're almost home.
- Your girl meeting you at the station?
- No.
- Mine's gonna be there.
- We're all set to get married.
- Married?
- You know, I'm supposed to get married.
- Supposed to?
Well, I mean, she thinks
that we're gonna get married right away.
Oh.
But this hitch in the Army has given me
a more mature outlook on life.
I realize now
that there's more to marriage
than just two people being in love.
Why, there's responsibility.
A man should be established in a career,
secure,
prepared to meet his financial obligations.
Do you know how many marriages
have gone on the rocks
just because two impulsive people
have set out on the sea of matrimony
in nothing more than a leaky rowboat?
I know that Marjorie and her folks
will understand.
- Hey, what's going on?
- It's 5:
00.- Wesley, what are you doing?
- It's 5:
00.Well, you might have at least
finished the piece.
- Wesley, give me that candy...
- Marjorie said.
- Cream centers.
- I know.
- Bill!
- Wesley! How are you?
- Bill, are we glad to see you.
- Hello, Mr. Winfield, Mrs. Winfield.
- How ya been?
- Gee, it's good to be home.
Your picture was in the paper,
right on the front page.
- I want to surprise Marjorie.
- Oh, yeah, come on in.
You go on in the living room.
I'll call Marjorie.
- Marjorie!
- Yes, Mother?
Come on down!
We want you to hear Wesley
play his new piece.
In a minute, Mother.
William, this is Fester Chinley.
Chester Finley.
- I'm glad to meet you, Chester.
- How do you do?
Chester's been dating Marjorie
ever since you left.
Yes, I know.
Marjorie told me in her letters.
And you don't know what a comfort
it is to a man overseas, Chester,
not to have to worry about his girl.
- Aren't you gonna bump him one?
- Wesley...
- Candy?
- Thank you, Mrs. Winfield.
Boy, this is one thing we missed overseas.
- Have one? Cream centers.
- I know.
I guess he doesn't like cream centers.
Chester's been giving Wesley
piano lessons.
He's coming along, slow but sure.
We'd hoped by now he progressed
far enough to play at your wedding.
Well, he'll still have time to learn.
Oh, we wouldn't want to postpone
your happiness
just because Wesley happens to have
two left hands. Not by a long shot, son.
Oh, Mother, it's beautiful.
Bill!
- Marjorie.
- This is a surprise.
