Ought to be there pretty
soon, shouldn't we?
What's your hurry, Kid?
We got all night.
You've covered a lot
of these homecomings,
Haven't you mr. Williams?
This is my 25th transport,
More than 200,000
homecoming soldiers.
Yeah. I'll bet you've
gotten some wonderful yarns.
Oh. I'll get one now and again.
As a rule, though, a man
who has a real story to tell
Won't tell it,
Not to a reporter anyhow.
Well, how can you tell
a man's got a story
If he won't give out with it?
Williams is psychic,
didn't you know?
Gets so you can see
it in their faces.
You can always pick out your man.
You mean the man who isn't
gonna give you a story.
Yeah.
There she is!
Ha ha ha!
Seems to me there are a lot
Of interesting faces here.
Haven't found your man
yet, mr. Williams?
Not yet. Nope.
I'll see you later, kid.
Light, colonel?
Thank you.
Great outfit, the 299th medical.
We've heard a lot about it back
here at home, colonel Johnson.
Yes. Great outfit.
Quite a job, fighting a war
with only a hypodermic needle.
Yes.
What's your specialty, colonel?
Specialty?
Oh. I'm a surgeon.
In '41, I expect, didn't you?
Yes, quite a practice.
That must seem like
A long time a go, '41.
A lot of water's gone
Yes.
With that background
And this war,
You ought to have a whale
Of a story to tell, colonel.
I'm sorry, mr. Williams. No story.
That makes it a bit rough on folks
Back here at home, doesn't it?
How so?
I mean, well, they're
The ones that have to live
With the men
Who are coming back.
It seems only fair
That they should know
What the men
Have been through,
How they've changed.
Perhaps.
I'm afraid I have
Nothing to say
That would be
Of any help.
I don't know. I think people
Can help each other a lot.
Didn't you ever run in
To someone
Who gave you
A new slant on things?
Yes. Yes, I did.
Maybe you have some
Personal experience
You could tell, colonel.
What?
No. I've had no personal
Experiences, mr. Williams.
I have nothing to say
Ok, colonel. Sorry.
Guess I'll be
Getting along.
Good luck, colonel.
Thank you.
Good luck to you.
Maybe you
Have some personal experience
You could tell, colonel.
No story.
In '41, I expect, didn't you?
Quite a practice.
Must seem like
A long time ago, '41.
Yes. 1941 was a long time ago.
How easy it all seemed
At lafayette hospital, '41.
Dr. Ulysses d. Johnson.
I kind of thought of it
As my hospital,
And everybody else
Seemed to think that way, too,
And why not?
I'd worked hard enough
To get there-
4 years harvard medical school,
Internship johns hopkins,
Surgical resident
At mayo clinic 5 years,
Yep. Quite a guy.
Dr. Johnson's office. Dr.
Johnson's secretary speaking.
Hello? Oh, yes,
Mrs. Nichols.
Yes. Tomorrow is
His birthday.
Yes, he does.
Very young.
Smoking jacket?
I'm sure he'd appreciate it
A great deal
Coming from you.
Well, his shoulders are
Quite broad of course.
Height? Oh, I should say
He's about 6 feet.
Perhaps a scarf
Would be better.
Yes, mrs. Nichols, blue would
Go beautifully with his hair.
Not at all, mrs. Nichols.
Good-bye, mrs. Nichols.
He's alone now.
Thanks.
How many more,
Miss Simpson?
How many more
Can you stand?
Penny.
Ha ha ha!
Hello, darling.
I didn't know
You were here.
I've been sitting out
There getting a lesson.
You certainly turn
On the charm
For your women
Patients, don't you?
Jealous?
Mm. Could be.
Oh. A doctor
Has to live,
