Gunny: I guess. During a war. Punny : You never remarried? Gunny: I guess not. Punny : I'm sorry, Gunny. I can see you're not happy with my questions. Gunny: She's still twenty. Punny : Maybe we can reschedule. Gunny: She'll always be twenty. Punny : Thanks for your time, Gunny. I'll call. Gunny: I call her Dot. The columnist leaves stage left passing a woman by the window.
