I'll Be Seeing You (1944)

Zachary Morgan: [meeting her at the women's prison gate] Mary, I didn't want to make you cry.
Mary Marshall: There's nothing wrong with crying at a time like this.
Zachary Morgan: The minute I got on the train, I knew why you didn't tell me.
Mary Marshall: Nothing matters, except that you're here.
Zachary Morgan: I'm terribly ashamed of walking out like that. I need you, Mary. I want to feel that you need me.
Mary Marshall: Oh, I do. I do.
Zachary Morgan: I'll be right here. I'll be right here waiting. I'll be all well by then. Ready to make a new start, too.

Mrs. Marshall: [Mary picks up an evening dress in a dress shop] You like this one, don't you, Mary?
Mary Marshall: It's lovely.
Mrs. Marshall: Then you're going to have it.
Mary Marshall: Oh, no. Uh-uh.
Mrs. Marshall: Now, you listen to me, Mary. You can't wear the same clothes day after day, your soldier boy's going to get tired of them.
Mary Marshall: Well, I've been fooling him well enough so far. I've been wearing one blouse after another. I don't need a dress, dear.
Mrs. Marshall: Now, Zach's made a big thing of inviting us all to this New Year's Eve party. You can't wear a suit.
Mary Marshall: Uh-uh. I'll manage.
Mrs. Marshall: Henry and I have talked it over. We want you to have a dress.
[Mary shakes her head]
Mrs. Marshall: Oh, Henry will be so disappointed if you don't accept it.
Mary Marshall: Darling, I'll only be able to wear it once. It'll be out of style in three years.
Mrs. Marshall: Then we'll burn it. Miss?
Saleslady: Yes?
Mrs. Marshall: My niece would like to try on this dress.
Saleslady: Oh, it'll be fine on you.
Mrs. Marshall: Go on, dear. Try it on.
Mary Marshall: Well, all right. I'll try it on.

Mary Marshall: [meeting for the first time on the train] Are you going home on furlough?
Zachary Morgan: Yeah. Yeah, I'm on furlough. They gave me a furlough.
Mary Marshall: Is this your first time home since...
Zachary Morgan: Well, I haven't got any regular home or family. I'm just going to visit. You traveling on business, or...
Mary Marshall: No, I'm on vacation. Christmas vacation.
Zachary Morgan: What kind of business are you in? I mean, what sort of work do you do?
Mary Marshall: Well, I, uh... I travel. I'm a traveling saleswom - uh, saleslady.
Zachary Morgan: I never heard any jokes about traveling salesladies. I guess there aren't many. I never would have guessed that's what you did.
Mary Marshall: Well, what - what would you have guessed?
Zachary Morgan: Oh, that you were, uh, I don't know... a secretary or a model maybe, a schoolteacher.
Mary Marshall: Well, I once was a secretary, and I wanted to be a model. So that would have been pretty good guessing.
Zachary Morgan: You going all the way to L.A.?
Mary Marshall: No. No, I haven't much farther to go, as a matter of fact. I'm getting off at Pinehill.
Zachary Morgan: Oh. Oh, well... Is Pinehill your home?
Mary Marshall: No. I'm just visting my uncle.
Zachary Morgan: That's funny. I'm going to Pinehill, too.
Mary Marshall: Oh, really?
Zachary Morgan: Uh-huh. Yeah. I'm visiting there. My sister lives in Pinehill.
Mary Marshall: I bet she'll be very glad to see you.
Zachary Morgan: I hope so. Maybe we'll run into each other there.
Mary Marshall: Yes.
