Hawkeye: How is that possible?
Pete: Good instincts. Now, it's time for us to go home.

اگلے morning, when everypony arrived at the station, it was decorated in christmas lights, and a sign hung from the roof saying Merry Christmas.

Hawkeye: Oh, I get it. Those decorations were in the boxes that we brought over here.
Coffee Creme: They're so magnificent.
Pete: What do آپ think?
Hawkeye: It's beautiful sir. It really is.

January 1, 1953
