Why?

Because may is

the month of Mary.

Aren't they pretty?

It's still may for

a few more days.

Yes, it is, should

we pick a bouquet?

Let's get home.

Come on, sweetie.

Next stop, Elkhorn,

And then on to Chicago.

A letter came from bud today,

he was on the island of Saipan.

Loose lips sink ships.

He's not there anymore.

Good.

Is uncle Bud gonna

kill some japs?

Honey, don't say that.

He told me today he wants

to grow up to be a soldier.

So?

So?

Darling, all boys want

to grow up to be soldiers.

I'm going to buy some smokes.

You need anything?

No, thanks.

Anna, can I ask you something?

Of course.

How old were you when

you first kissed a boy?

I was 15.

Why?

Just asking.

But don't tell your

mom or my mom, OK?

Why not?

Hang them out the window to dry.

Things are just a little

different nowadays.

Our moms are a

little old fashioned.

Aah!

Aah!

Mamma!

Aah!

Don't make me shoot you.

We got him locked down.

What was he doing?

The japs keep

trying to run away.

Either to kill themselves,

or to get killed.

They want to die?

For them it's shameful

to return home alive.

They all want to be kamikazes.

Ruby?

Oh, honey.

I heard.

Evening, frank.

Sargent.

Well, I'll let you

folks get some sleep.

And not to worry, we've

added two extra guards

To the Japanese barracks.

So if there's anything you need.

Thank you, we'll be fine.

Thank you.

They're trying to die?

I never heard of such a thing.

I have to show you something.

What the hell is that?

I bought it, to be safe.

I wasn't even going

to tell you about it,

Because I don't think

we'll ever need it.

But I want to show

you how it works.

Put your hands like this.

Now, look at my nose

through the triangle.

Close one eye, then the other.

Now, whichever eye sees my

nose, that's your dominant one.

That's the one

that you aim with.

It's kind of neat.

Which eye is dominant?

My left.

Oh, southpaw.

My little southpaw

sharp shooter.

Now, you want to, to

hold it with both hands.

All right?

Hold it up.

OK.

And close your right eye.

Now look down the barrel at

this little thing at the end.

And you aim.

And then you pull the trigger.

It's not loaded.

Ugh, take it.

You're going to hide a gun

next to our sleeping children?

Now look, I'll take it down

to the table in the kitchen

Tomorrow morning, OK?

Don't worry, we'll keep

the bullets up here,

It will be safe.

Thank goodness.

All we need is a loaded

gun around Lester.

He thinks the war is a game.

What are we doing here?

Sweetheart.

There's prisoners wandering

around, tanks driving by,

Soldiers and guns in our home.

Shh.

Christ in a sidecar!

Psst!

Honey, can you

train the new guy?
