Homecoming Page #2

Synopsis: Self-absorbed Dr. Lee Johnson enlists with the Army medical corps during World War II, more out of a feeling that it's "the thing to do" rather than deep-seated patriotism. On his first day, he's put into place by 'Snapshot', a sassy and attractive nurse. Their initial antagonism blossoms into romance. Lee then finds himself torn with guilt over being unfaithful to his wife, Penny, who's waiting for him back home.

I- I intend to,

But, well, right now-

I happened to get

You at a busy time.

Well, sort of.

Ok. I'll be

Seeing you, Lee.

Sure. I hear things in

Chester village are pretty bad.

5 new cases

This week.

Terrible.

Yes, yes.

Well, I'll be

Getting back.

Happy birthday, Lee.

I hope you find the

Right clubs. Good-bye.

Bob.

Yes?

Why don't you leave

Those files?

I'll go over them the

First possible moment.

You won't go

Over them, Lee.

No, I will.

I promise I will.

All right.

I'll leave them

If you like.

So long, Lee.

Good-bye, Bob.

The first minute

I get.

Relax, darling.

Hmm?

You're leading me

Again.

Am I?

I'm sorry, darling.

Good morning, Sol.

Good morning,

Doctor.

Good morning, Sarah.

Good morning, doctor.

Those were the best

Popovers you ever made.

Those were for your

Birthday, doctor.

Many happy returns.

Well, thank you, Sarah.

Happy birthday,

Doctor.

Thank you, Sol.

Hello,

Doctor Johnson.

Good morning.

Doctor?

Yes?

Could I speak to you

For a minute?

Sure. What's on your mind?

Well, you see, it's this way, doctor.

I've got

A stiff knee.

Hurt it playing football

A couple of years ago.

Now I got a chance to

Join the canadian army,

But they turned me

Down cold.

I thought maybe you

Could fix it up.

Canadian army? What do

You want to join them for?

They're in there

Fighting already.

Oh. So you like

To scrap, huh?

Well, no. It isn't

That, doctor.

Well, that's your

Own business, I suppose.

Where do you live?

29 verrick street,

Chester village.

My name's monkevickz. They call me monk.

Ok. We'll have a look

At it, monk.

Check with miss Simpson

In my office,

And she'll make a date

For you at the clinic.

Thanks,

Doctor Johnson.

Good-bye, sweet.

Take care of yourself.

Don't make it a long day, will you, Lee?

No, I won't.

Penny, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Darling, don't let

Those headlines bother you.

Europe's

A long ways off

To be moving in on us.

Promise?

Promise.

All right then.

Bye.

Shouldn't you be

In there with the guests?

I guess... I should,

Shouldn't I?

I sort of wish

We were alone.

I'd much rather have my

Last cocktail with you.

Hello, mother. I didn't

Know you'd come yet.

Just came.

How are you, dear?

Fine.

How are you, Lee?

So glad you

Made it, mother.

Well, doctor-

Or I guess I'd better say major now-

When are you off?

Tomorrow morning.

Dr. Johnson.

Yes, Sarah?

Dr. Sunday's

In the library.

Bob sunday? Well, ask him to come in.

I told him, but he said he'd rather not.

Oh. Thanks, Sarah.

Excuse me a minute.

I'll be right back.

Hello, Bob.

Hello, Lee. I just heard

You were leaving tomorrow,

So I thought I'd

Drop in to say good-bye
