The Way We Were

Who is it?

It's Lieutenant Finley.

He's coming up the path.

It might be worth

listening to him, Edna.

So he can tell me about D-day?

I don't wanna hear about D-day.

Look what happened to my son.

Um, hold it, Peggy.

Cut from D-day to:

"Don't tell me about

the black market."

You're making me a bitch

to keep in your propaganda!

Peggy, I'll tell you...

Oh, Jesus!

Oh! Oh, Bill. Katie wants to keep in

the black market. Bill!

Glad you're back.

How did it go?

Ah, goddamn Pentagon, all they see

is red. Where's my coffee?

Get you some in a minute.

Don't cast that broad again.

Takes a reactionary to play one.

Where's my coffee? Can't the

chintzy OWI afford a gofer?

And where's Roxanne?

She called and she said that

she couldn't make it.

We'd like to get set up and

go from the top again, Mr. Verso.

What's the matter?

What is this?

Two lines I wrote.

No good, huh?

Morosky, let me do the writing,

will you? Huh?

Christ, I'm tired of being

a patriot for no money.

Mm...

She can't come?

Nope.

Okay, Katie, you're in luck.

I'm taking you to El Morocco, courtesy

of the Office of War Information.

All right, Americans,

let's take it from the top.

One, two. One, two, three.

Clear the way.

Please clear the way.

Sir, we have a reservation.

There are no more tables.

But we called

and you said...

Sorry, no tables.

I told you...

But we called...

I'd like to know your name and

also why you're not in uniform.

These boys have been in

combat, you fascist rope-holder.

Hi, Fred. Bill Verso. OWI.

Don't tip him.

Get his name!

We were with a whole bunch of people.

Hey, Verso! Merry old Bill Verso.

Hey, Tiny!

Captain, you can't do that!

They're with us.

Come on!

Thanks, Tiny.

Good to see you.

Listen, Katie... Hey, Jimbo!

Hey.

Can't you leave your soapbox

at home just once?

Coming through.

Oh, Christ.

Uh, what do you want to drink?

I know. Dubonnet over ice.

Dubonnet over ice

and a scotch, straight up.

Here's your Dubonnet,

Morosky.

Oh, to be in uniform!

Hubbell Gardiner.

What?

That's his name.

Swell. What's hers?

I suppose they learn that

balance onboard ship.

Absolutely. Let's dance.

What've you got to lose?

I'll probably go overseas soon.

It's pretty hush-hush.

Save Loyalist Spain!

Stop Franco for world peace now!

Write President Roosevelt!

Come on! Do something about it!

Save Spain! Stop Franco!

Stop the slaughter of innocent women

and children. Do something!

Write your congressman today.

Katie, what are you selling?

The ROTC.

You can have it cheap!

Ha-ha-ha.

Fascist.

Memories

Light the corners of my mind

Misty water-colour memories

Of the way we were

Row, Hubbell! Row!

Gardiner! Gardiner! Gardiner!

Scattered pictures

Of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another

For the way we were

Can it be

That it was all so simple then?

Or has time rewritten every line?

If we had the chance

To do it all again

Tell me, would we?

Could we?

Memories

May be beautiful, and yet

What's too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember

The way we were

The way we

Were

A true peace rally

Aah!

Should cover the entire spectrum

from extreme right

to extreme left.

As our next speaker proves.

The president of the Young Communist

League. She needs no introduction.

Miss Katie Morosky.

Guess I do need an introduction.

Back up, Katie.

Yeah, all the way to Moscow!

You can still take Communion

and like the Soviet Union!

What's cooking in the Kremlin, Katie?

The Kremlin's worried about
