Oh, open this for me, will you, hon?
Of course,|there would be a police car there.
- Open it.|- Oh, okay.
Anyway, Martha tried to give him|an argument.
Of course she didn't have a leg|to stand on.
Still, the way they were talking to her,|I was getting so mad that I could've...
Oh, answer it, will you, hon?
Oh, let's let it ring, shall we?
Why are you so lazy all of a sudden?|It might be Mother, long-distance...
It couldn't be.|Your mother called last week.
She wouldn't call again so soon.
If you're gonna be stubborn about it...
...I'll get it myself.|- No, don't answer it.
- Frank, what's the matter?|- Nothing's the matter.
- What is it? Tell me.|- I don't wanna talk or listen to anybody.
I don't wanna see anybody. I wanna|spend a quiet evening in my own home.
Is that asking too much?
No.
No, of course not.
- More coffee?|- No, thanks.
- Can I give you a hand with the dishes?|- No, they won't take a minute.
- What in...?!|- Shh!
Frank, that's the man|that was here this afternoon.
Yes, I know.
- But who is he? Why do we have to hide?|- Somebody I don't want to see.
- Frank, this is our house. Our own house.|- Edith, don't talk so loud.
I was only whispering.
He followed me to the lake.|I didn't tell you.
- I thought he wouldn't come back.|- He asked where you were.
- Why did you tell him? What would...?|- I didn't know.
It's all right.
It doesn't matter.
- What does he want?|- Nothing.
He's a guy that I knew in the Army.
He's not right.|They've had him in the hospital.
- Does he want help or money? Is that it?|- No, no.
I was his CO|and he's got some crazy idea...
...that everything that ever happened to him|is my fault.
If I see him, there'll just be a scene.
I don't want to see him.
- What are we going to do? We can't hide.|- Just forget about it.
Baby, go on to bed, please.
He'll go away|if he thinks we're not home at home.
He's still there.
He'll go away after a while.
Frank, I still don't understand. Why...?
Edith, a lot of things happened in the war|that you wouldn't understand.
Why should you?|I don't understand them myself.
Come on, let's go on up.
It's all right, Georgie.
It was just a bad dream.
It's all right, honey.
Go to sleep now.
Go on to sleep.
There.
Is he still there?
Yeah.
He won't come back again.
Look, baby, go on back to bed.
It's all right now.|There's nothing to worry about.
Where are you going?
Just downstairs. I'll be up in a minute.
Frank.
I was just...
I want to ask you something.
When we packed up all of a sudden|and came out here from Syracuse...
...three thousand miles|across the country...
...was that on account of him?
