so many children. are they all orphans?
oh, they're getting into the car.  watch your fingers!
you are?
here, blow.
blow! there, i bet that feels better.
candy. candy kendall.
two.
boy or girl?
i would like to have a baby, one day. i really would.
i'm okay--i can walk.
no--keep it down. i want to feel the air.
coming with us? it's always a good idea to have a doctor along for the ride.
wally thinks apples are boring.
you said, "apples aren't exactly flying."
there! you said it was boring.
no, but i work there--i like it. my dad's a lobsterman.
really?
i couldn't have a baby with someone who's leaving me--i didn't know what else to do!
he's going to be dropping bombs on mandalay! they're going to be shooting at him!
burma!
i can't have a baby alone. i don't even know if he's coming back!
you don't *know*, wally. you have no *idea*!
stay away from me!
i'm a little worried about the.  . about how much bleeding is okay.
i guess i'll see you around the orchards. thanks for everything.
i love you, wally.
i know what you've been doing.
you've been giving him a *flying* lesson!
he thinks people *like* to get whacked by branches.
i have a *ton* of things that would fit you.
so. not bored yet?
when i'm not thinking about wally. i'm not good at being alone. oh, goodness. you meant.  yes, i'm fine. i.  . i don't suppose you've seen a lobster yet.
you have to come to my dad's lobster pound and see one, then.
i don't think mr. rose would leave without you.
sorry!
come next week!
it's time somebody ate *them*.
daddy, it's a letter to *me*.
wally said to say, "hello."
yes. but it's closed all the time now, because of the blackout.
when they watched at all. do you like movies?
you've seen only one movie? which one?
i haven't seen "king kong" since i was a kid!
but you looked as if you liked it.
she *did* love him! how many women have you known?
she was torn apart! she died of a broken heart.
well, she was in a weakened condition.  i don't know! what about "king kong"?! is that medically possible?
you're a natural. you were born to drive a car like this.
yes.  and no. when you come here, you don't really care about the movie.
what are you so crazy about the movies for?
at least you were never lonely.
you don't miss it?
but you had so much *responsibility*.
just a little privacy.
privacy is exactly the point of drive- in movies.
sometimes.  movies mostly bore wally.
the *speaker*. for the movie sound.
scrunch down like this.
you just cuddle. you come to hug.  to kiss. you don't *come* here to watch the movie.
not with the right girl you wouldn't.
nobody will swim here until next summer. by then, the water will have rubbed the glass smooth against the sand--there won't be any sharp edges.
see? that's last year's glass, or from some year before. i put glass here every year. the ocean makes it beautiful.
give me your hand.
*nobody* volunteers for the burma run--he said so himself. and nobody knows *me* better than him! so how am i supposed to feel? he's a bomber pilot and i'm just selfish, i know. well, i'm *not* a brave little girl and i'm *not* sorry.
i *know* this was right. i told you. i'm not good at being alone. i told him, too.
i *know* this was right.
it will be okay.
we have to wait and see. i think that, for *everything* in life, you have to wait and see.
maybe we're doing the snails a favor, daddy.
good night, daddy.
we'll just have to wait and see.
so, you're staying.
olive told me. you might have told me yourself.
oh, he's fine! i just heard from him. he's bombing all these places.
do you think i'm having a good time? do you think i'm just *teasing* you? do you think i *know* whether i want you or wally?
i grew up with wally. i began my adult life with him.
no! that's not all there is to it! i love you, too--i *know* i do.
it's a good thing i didn't have that baby, isn't it?
we should take her to st. cloud's. that much is obvious, isn't it? let her make up her mind when she gets there.
well, we have to help her!
we have to do *something*. don't we? homer?
hi.
i've got some more clothes for you-- i just keep forgetting to bring them with me.
rose, i know what's going on. homer told me. i got pregnant, too--about a year ago. i've been through this.
yes, i *have*!
who's the father, rose?
you want to have the baby?
i know where you can go. homer and i can take you.
why?
is it the father? does he know?
you can trust me. is it jack? it's not jack, is it? it's *muddy*! is it muddy?
she won't go to st. cloud's!
you don't understand! it's her father.
he's the *father*! he's her baby's father!
we've got to keep her away from that bastard!
no! no!
who cares about their *gear*?
he was in burma for twenty days without a compass?
daddy, *please*.
good night, daddy.
nothing.
no. nothing is nothing. i want wally to come home. i'm afraid to see him, too.
no, don't--that's something. nothing is nothing. don't even look at me. i want.
to do nothing.
please don't move, don't go anywhere.
if you're trying to be funny, homer.
stop it! just cut it out!
for god's sake, homer, wally's been shot down!
he's *paralyzed*!
what do you want me to *do*?
the bleeding should taper off tomorrow, but it can come back again. the cramps will ease up, almost entirely. the bleeding is usually much lighter in two days. as long as the bleeding isn't heavy, it's normal.
please don't make me say it again.
please.  that's enough. i *loved* you, too--you know i did.
please don't.
you say that as though it's some awful thing! i never stopped loving wally!
do you think she'll be all right?
this came for you a couple of days ago. olive asked me to bring it. with everything happening, i guess she forgot.
i know you don't think much of being needed, or of me for that matter.
no, i'm the one who should be sorry. you have every right to be angry.
