because today is a big holiday!

Get going!

Maria! I love you now more than ever.

I had to tell you that.

No matter what they do,

it mustn't separate us.

John, Mom and Dad are worried.

Come on, darling, let's go.

- Hello everyone!

- Hello. - Hello John.

Surprised that the bridegroom

didn't run away?

You'd never do that John,

we are certain of it.

Things were so quiet...

We were here waiting.

In 10 minutes everything simply

fell apart with this war.

We heard the news, just now.

Your sister turned on the radio

just to hear a little music, and then...

It's not a surprise. That's certain.

The problems we faced

simply had to lead to a war.

Inevitably.

John, what are they saying in the city?

That no one should worry because

everything is going to be all right.

And before midnight

it's going to be all over.

And what is meant by "over"?

What? It means the war stops.

The war will stop at midnight.

It could already be over!

Possibly, yes.

Let's wait and see.

And anyway I have to leave now, John.

They expect me down at a factory

right now. I've got to go.

Soon everything is going to be all right.

The politicians have families,

The trouble is now no one knows anything,

the whole world has gone crazy.

Mama, must you bring up

such a terrible subject?

John, those bombs...

What do they do to you?

Now, listen, Jack, everything will be

all right, because it's got to be!

At worst, they will drop conventional

bombs that don't scare anybody.

They won't use the others.

You know why?

Because you know what would happen

if they did use the atomic kind?

It's crazy! You can't

imagine what it's like!

They don't dare drop it, it would

leave millions of dead!

And populations ground to powder as though they'd...

as though they'd gone through a coffee grinder.

- Water! Give him water, quick!

- Dear boy, he has a weak heart...

- Maria, turn that confounded radio off!

- Poor darling... Here, drink!

Thanks, Mom. I'm all right. I'm so sorry...

This always happens when we talk about...

- He always has been sensitive like that.

- I wanted to help you, Jack. - I know, I know.

I always have to have other people help me.

- Jack, it will be all right.

- Well, we'd better go to church now.
