she only hears the voice of The Cigolini.

She is in a trance.

Then tell her I beg her pardon.

Young man,

she is unaware of your presence...

...she can only see the invisible.

Could you make me invisible?

That you can do for yourself.

By sitting down!

Thank you.

And now, my friend,

what is your question?

I gave it to you.

Sure, Sure.

Tell me, my friend,

is this your handwriting?

That's it alright.

We get this question here

every night.

Miss Sylvia has unveiled

this part of the future.

I'm very sorry my friend

but you lose your bet.

William McKinley

is a very worthy man.

Sorry, Sorry...

...but the republican party

don't have no chance

The next President of United States

will be William Jennings Bryan.

Thank you, my friend.

That is all.

And now ladies and gentlemen,

at this time...

Just a minute, there's a seor here

who don't seem to agree with me.

Tell me, what are you

a republican?

Professor, I have a question.

It concerns a certain young lady.

And you want to know if she's going

to have the misfortune to marry you?

Is that it?

All I want to know is whether

she'll have lunch with me tomorrow.

Young seor wants to know...

if the girl he loves is going to

have lunch with him tomorrow.

- Yes, she will.

- Thank you.

But I'd like to know

where we'll meet.

My friend, that you have to arrange

with the lady yourself.

That I'd like to do, but

she can't hear me. She's in a trance.

Just a minute, my good friend...

...Cigolini has put the

young lady's mind to sleep...

...and Cigolini is not sure

just when she is going to awaken.

And that is why Miss Sylvia

will be unable to accept...

...any social engagements.

Hello. Remember me?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

But you answered my question.

I was asleep.

Besides, you were very rude

How do you know I was

if you were asleep?

May I take you home?

No, Thank you.

You mean, I can't come inside?

I always go home alone.

105 North Elm Street. Driver.

And take it easy.

Go slow.

No, go fast

I'm in a hurry.

I'm in no hurry.

Take your time.

Now, listen to me

Who hired this cab?

The gentleman did, Miss. He's kept me

here waiting for half an hour.

It's a pleasure. You don't mind my

riding with you in my own cab,do you?

I certainly do.

- Cabbie.

- I'm sorry, I've hired this cab.

You've hired it, huh?

Well, why don't you get into it?

Alright cabbie, take 'em away.

Twenty-three skidoo!

Thank you, Professor.

And don't try to see her again.

You'd better drive on.

My uncle might see you.

Goodnight.

I can look into the future myself.

You're going to see me again.

Very soon.

You see? My prediction was right.

I told you I'd see
