Yeah.

- Marjorie, you look beautiful.

- Do I?

You know, the groom's not supposed

to see the bride like this

- until the day of the wedding.

- Yeah.

Well, I guess I better be getting home.

I haven't even seen the folks yet.

Will I see you tonight, Bill?

Well, there's a dance at the club.

Oh, fine. Fine.

And we've got a lot to talk about,

haven't we?

Yeah, lots.

Well...

Bill, you're all right, aren't you?

All right?

Well, you're acting so strange.

You weren't hurt or wounded or anything?

Oh, no. As a matter of fact,

the Germans surrendered

the day I landed in Paris.

I guess they knew you were coming.

- See you tonight.

- Yeah.

I saw your eyes

Your wonderful eyes

With love light and tenderness beaming

They thrilled me through

They filled me, too

With wonderful dreams I am dreaming

No need to speak

No more shall I seek

For my heart has taught me their meaning

And love has come at last, I know

- Your eyes have told me so

- Your eyes have told me so

Bill, would you like to go someplace

where we can talk?

- We haven't talked yet.

- Later.

It sure feels good dancing

with my girl like this.

Do you think you'll feel

the same way after?

- After?

- After we're married.

- You'll always be my girl.

- And you'll always be my husband.

No need to speak

No more shall I seek

For my heart has taught me their meaning

And love has come at last, I know

- Your eyes have told me so

- Your eyes have told me so

Bill and Marjorie are sure making up

for lost time.

Hey, Bill,

when are you two gonna get hitched?

- Yeah, when is it gonna be?

- You set the date yet?

Come on, Bill, tell us about it.

Well, now, folks, friends,

as you can tell by just looking at us,

we can hardly wait.

I'm a mighty lucky fellow

to be getting a girl like Marjorie.

Not only because she is beautiful

and wonderful,

but because she is, well,

so understanding,

so practical and so intelligent.

How would you know, Bill?

Well, the thing of it is,

that we've decided to wait a while.

What are you gonna wait for, Bill?

What's the matter?

Well, after all,

I'm just a soldier back from the war.

And we've decided to be a little patient,

so I can get a job

and maybe save a little nest egg and...

Well, as soon as we set the date,

why, you'll be the first to know.

- Marjorie, you're not angry, are you?

- I'm too intelligent to be angry.

- Marjorie, wait!

- We've decided to leave!

I understand. No leaky rowboat for us.

You know, once I get a job, why,

in no time at all we'll have that nest egg.

- Bill, how big an egg are you planning on?

- Just enough to give us a start.

A down payment on a house.

- Our own little home.
