OFFICIAL:

And where were you born, Miss

Mayfield?

BETTY:

New York, City.

The official is a little suspicious. He looks down at

Betty's hands which are clasped in her lap.

OFFICIAL:

I see you are wearing a wedding

ring.

BETTY:

I've been married. My Husband..

(she breaks off and

bites her lip)

INSPECTOR:

Then I take it Mayfield was not

your married name?

He is very polite, but is building up to asking for some

identification papers. One this cue, Mitchell comes out of

his roomette, crosses, enters Betty's roomette.

CAMERA MOVES IN:

MITCHELL:

I've wired ahead to--

He breaks off, turns to Inspector, recognizes him.

MITCHELL:

Inspector Gillette, Isn't it? I'm

Larry Mitchell. We've met before,

several times.

He takes out wallet and holds it out to Inspector.

MITCHELL:

I cross the border so often I carry

an identification card.

INSPECTOR:

(glancing at card)

Yes, I remember you, Mr. Mitchell.

(glancing at Betty)

You know this lady?

MITCHELL:

Very well. Since 1940, at least.

I met her--let me see--it was New

York City, wasn't it Betty?

Betty nods silently. Inspector turns back to her, handing

Mitchell's wallet back.

INSPECTOR:

(to Betty)

How long do you expect to be in

Canada, Miss Mayfield?

BETTY:

Oh.. a month.

INSPECTOR:

(making up his mind)

Thank you. I hope you have a

pleasant trip.
