They'll come round.

Get her back!

- Come on!

- Go, Marcy!

Come on!

Come on, Marcy!

- Throw her down!

- Hit her back!

- Hey!

- Hey get off her!

- Get off!

- Stop!

We have performed a more detailed

physical examination of the patient.

I see.

You do know that this will disqualify her.

You've not told the recruit?

- No.

- Don't.

I'll take care of it.

I don't get it.

I was just defending myself.

What was I supposed to do?

I know.

Believe me, it's not over yet.

I'll go to the Board of Appeals.

I'll do everything to get you reenlisted.

I promise.

Trust me, Jane.

And that was it.

Because of a stupid fight I was done.

I had to support myself.

I couldn't rely on Mr. Robertson's promise

to see me through.

- You're a witch?

- That's what I've been trying to tell you.

To earn money I worked

as a mother's helper.

This family simply wanted a cheap servant.

That was when

I first discovered confession stories.

I didn't care if they were real or fake.

It was a great way to pass the time.

I did housework during the day

and went to school at night.

When eating in formal situations,

rest your knife and your fork on the plate

between mouthfuls or to talk.

Charm class was a way

of proving to the Appeals Board

that I was working on my decorum.

If you're finished with your meal...

It was the first time

I wasn't good at something.

And when I wasn't expecting it,

I met him.

I'm so sorry.

There he was.

Are you lost?

He told me he was waiting for someone.

Well, you know what they say about

good things happening to those who wait.

"But only the things

left behind by those who hustle", he said.

I couldn't believe it.

It was a quote by Abraham Lincoln

- and I was thinking the exact same thing.

- I was thinking the exact same thing.

What are the odds?

He was handsome, rich.

He treated me with a kindness

that I'd never experienced before.

You know, he actually had wads

of $100 bills in his pocket.

More money than I'd seen in my whole life.

He told me he'd take care of me.

All show, right?

- Do you shoot pool?

- Yeah.

With the Fizzle Bomber

attacks becoming larger and larger,

many New Yorkers fear

a bombing of mass scale is inevitable.

Over 10,000 have already evacuated

upstate into surrounding counties...

He was different.

I liked him.

He was the first man

who was nice to me without playing games.

I was young and in love.

Famous last words.

Haven't you ever done

something stupid for love?

Once.

So you understand.

I do.

I never thought it would happen.

Falling for someone.

All my little rules

about being pure went out the window.

It was the happiest time
