Synopsis: As Julie prepares to leave her husband Roger, she begins to play through a stack of recordings, each of which reminds her of events in their lives together. One of them is the song that was playing when she and Roger first met in a music store. Other songs remind her of their courtship, their marriage, their desire for a child, and the joys and sorrows that they have shared. A flood of memories comes back to her as she ponders their present problems and how they arose.

A lot has happened.

That's not a reason to leave from a party,

just before the midnight!

I'm sorry, but I have a million things to do.

I wanna tell you everything.

I've had a real break.

Flynn quit his job over in Tokyo.

He's our Japanese correspondent.

He got fed up with the assignment,

or the weather, or something.

Imagine the spot that left the paper in.

Only one man in the Orient

and he walked out on the job.

Darling, you're cold.

Here, put this around you.

I'm just so excited.

There you are.

You're going to take his place?

That's what they want me to do.

I've got a ticket here for a train

that leaves at 3:00 a.m.

Gets me to San Francisco just in time

to catch the next boat for Yokohama.

I can't believe it yet, Julie.

Imagine them picking me.

You're able, Roger.

You have ability.

Anybody can see that.

You're going, hm?

That's what I want

to talk to you about, honey.

It's a good salary.

Two-year contract.

And I'm more or less my own boss.

It's the kind of opportunity

I've always wanted.

So look, dear, I was wondering...

Listen, little boy.

Of course I want you to go.

If that's what's worrying you,

please don't think...

No, I wasn't worrying about that.

I knew you'd want me

to take the job, sure.

But, Julie...

let's get married.

Let's get married right away, tonight.

I'll be able to send for you in three months.

I'll have the money then.

Three months?

Why the rush to get married now?

Well, do you think I'm going to let

a funny little redhead

like you run around loose here?

Suppose some other fellow

came along...

Oh, Julie, I've got to have you.

Until death do us part?

Till death do us part.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I've got a cab waiting.

All we have to do is sign a license.

Happy New Year!

For richer or poorer...

For richer or poorer.

in sickness and in health,

In sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish,

to love and to cherish,

till death do us part.

till death do us part.

All aboard.

The ticket.

We made it.

- Well, good bye, Applejack.

- Good bye, boy.

- Keep an eye on Julie for me.

- I sure will, boy.

So long, Dot.

Take good care of her.

I will.

Good bye.

Good bye, darling.

Excuse me a minute.

-Wait for me.

-All right.

Oh, Roger, I can't say good bye.

Here you are, sir.

Thank you.

It's not good bye, darling.

It's just see you later.

-Is there anything I can do

for you, boss?

-How soon does the train pull out?

- In about three minutes, sir.

Thank you.

Well, Mrs. Adams.

Mrs. Adams!

Sounds strange.

Not strange.

It sounds great.

- Does sound great, doesn't it

- Yes, darling.

There's something about a train.
