The Oscars are just over a week away. Between now and then we will be posting a movie quote from each decade that the Oscars have been handed out. Today’s quote is from 1946’s winner, The Best Years of Our Lives, screenplay by Robert E. Sherwood.

“Give ’em time, kid; they’ll catch on. You know your folks’ll get used to you, and you’ll get used to them. Then everything’ll settle down nicely. Unless we have another war. Then none of us have to worry because we’ll all be blown to bits the first day. So cheer up, huh?”
