Alma - I won't marry you because I don't want to be the wife of a soldier...Because nobody's gonna stop me from my plan. Nobody, nothing. Because I want to be proper...Yes, proper. In another year, I'll have enough money saved. Then, I'm gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I'm gonna build a house for my mother and myself, and join the country club and take up golf. And I'll meet the proper man with the proper position to make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I'll be happy because when you're proper, you're safe.
Prewitt - You got guts, honey. I hope you can pull it off.
Alma - I do mean it when I say I need you 'cause I'm lonely. You think I'm lying, don't you?
Prewitt - Nobody ever lies about being lonely.
