You are proper, you are safe

"-(Alma Burke): Because I want to be proper.

-(Private Prewitt): Proper?

-(A. B): Yes, proper. In another year, I’ll have enough money saved and I’ll go back to my hometown in Oregon and build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. I’ll be a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy because when you are proper, you are safe."

From here to Eternity, directed by Fred Zinnemann.
