Unexpected Family Reunion in the Army

Mom, Daddy?

Oh, sweetheart!

What happened, Judy? We did not hear from you since Yale's funeral. Then out of the blue we get a call from some man who tells us you joined the United States Army?!
Cpt. Lewis: [to her parents]
Just sign these papers and you are as good as home. It is a pity we are losing her. She was such a delight to have in our company.
Teddy Benjamin:
Well that is it. From now on we never let Judy out of our sight. We decide what to do.
Pvt. Benjamin:
I am sorry, but I must go back and graduate. Mom, Daddy, I will see you then. Captain Lewis.
