Peggy and Millie hoist Fred back on his feet.

As they descend the front steps of the apartment house, Fred asks Millie, “Where are we all going now?”

“Don’t ask,” says Millie. “We want it to be a surprise!” They head for the car.

Fred rolls into the back seat and falls asleep against the groggy Al. Fred throws an arm around Al’s shoulder and Al holds Fred’s hand in his sleep.

Millie turns and looks at the two sleeping soldiers in the back seat. “They make a lovely couple, don’t they?” laughs Millie.

“Yeah,” agrees Peggy. “I think they’ll be very happy together.” She starts the car.

Al pats the hand around his shoulder and notices it’s wearing a large watch. He’s very confused.

The scene shifts to Peggy’s bedroom. Fred is laying flat on Peggy’s four-poster bed. Peggy is struggling to remove Fred’s shoes. She puts a quilt over Fred’s feet.
