Henry sees the love that is now obvious between Alice and Joe and suggests that they marry right away. Later that morning, Al brings Joe and Alice to his home, where Al's wife cooks breakfast for everyone. Because Al is injured and unable to continue his milk run, Joe and Alice complete his deliveries. As dawn approches, Al takes Joe and Alice to a diner for breakfast, where a drunk engages Al in an argument and punches him. The milk run extends into the early morning hours and by the end, the three have become fast friends. The milk truck driver, Al Henry, agrees to take Joe and Alice home but only if they first accompany him on his milk run. Joe later hails a milk truck, mistaking its lights for a taxi, and asks for a ride home. As the evening progresses, Alice and Joe become so absorbed in their romantic pursuits that they forget the time and accidentally miss the last bus. Alice, however, disregards Helen's advice, and meets Joe for dinner. When Alice tells her roommate and co-worker, Helen, about her new acquaintance, Helen advises her to stay away from soldiers and warns her that they only break hearts when they leave. Seeing his earnestness, Alice agrees to meet him later in the evening.
As Alice boards a bus for home, Joe is unable to bear the thought that he may never see her again and chases after the bus on foot. Joe and Alice spend the afternoon sightseeing around New York and become better acquainted, then, following their visit to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum, the two bid each other farewell. Soon after arriving in New York City to begin a two-day leave, Corporal Joe Allen meets Alice Maybery, an attractive secretary, and falls instantly in love with her.
