Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler’s store, buys a twenty-carat _golden_ ring. Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door, and as he gives it to her she begins to sing. ---

The eastern world it’s exploding. There’s violence flaring and bullets loading. You’re old enough to kill but not for voting. You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re toting? And even the Jordan river has bodies floating but you tell me over and over and over again, my friend, that you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction. ---

And it’s One, Two, Three, what are we fightin’ for? Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn. Next stop is Vietnam. And it’s Five, Six, Seven, open up the Pearly Gates. Ain’t no time to wonder why, whoopee we’re all gonna die. ---
