Since You Went Away (1944)

Keenan Wynn: Lt. Solomon

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Solomon : It's a wonderful party, Mrs. Hilton.

  Anne Hilton : It's Tony. He brings life to any party.

  Lieutenant Solomon : Tony's doomed to go through life as everybody's darling.

  Anne Hilton : Even to his men?

  Lieutenant Solomon : Well, they don't think of him as darling, exactly. Hero worship's more like it. I'll bet he didn't tell you he's been recommended for the Navy Cross.

  Anne Hilton : No, really?

  Lieutenant Solomon : Uh-huh. Oh, he'll make jokes about it, but he's very proud of it.

  Anne Hilton : Well, where did...

  [Tony enters] 

  Anne Hilton : Oh, I want to talk to you, John Paul Jones.

  Lieutenant Tony Willett : What have I done now?

  Anne Hilton : The Navy Cross - that's what you've done.

  [Tony glares at Lt. Solomon] 

  Anne Hilton : Yes, he told me. Do they give you a ribbon?

  Lieutenant Tony Willett : Uh-huh.

  Anne Hilton : Well what does it look like? What are the colors?

  Lieutenant Tony Willett : [pointing at a ribbon on Lt. Solomon's chest]  As a matter of fact, it looks just like that.

  Lieutenant Solomon : Aw, stop it, Tony. This is an old one. It's last year's model.

  Lieutenant Tony Willett : Listen, Anne, he'll joke about it, but he's really very proud of it.

  Anne Hilton : Well, he said the same thing about you.

  Lieutenant Solomon : If you people will excuse me now.

  Lieutenant Tony Willett : Oh, he did, did he?
