On A Clear Day You Can See Forever Page #2

Here, come in.

You're doing that

on posthypnotic suggestion.

Oh, no.

Turn around.

I'm terribly sorry.

Is anything else coming off?

- Of course not. Here, your shoe.

- You're sure?

That's quite a weapon

you have got there.

Boy, you fellas must have

one glorious night after another.

I mean...

What's the matter?

- This just isn't my day.

- Come. Come sit down.

You'll feel better in a moment.

Sit down.

- Oh, God.

- Now, what did...?

Oh, rats.

Thank you.

Oh, God.

Don't you hate cigarettes?

Now, what did you

want to ask me?

What I wanted to ask you was this:

Doctor, do you think...?

I mean, can people really be

hypnotized out of something?

I mean, of something like smoking.

It's stuck in the dictionary. I mean, can

you see how yellow my fingers are?

I beg your pardon?

Aren't you looking for a piece

of paper with an address on it?

- Yes.

- Don't you have a dictionary?

Well, yes.

Well, just see if it's in there.

You see, the other night I heard

this discussion going on in the bathtub,

on the radio, and this man said...

It's under X.

He said you could be

hypnotized out of it

without getting something else

instead, you know,

like fat or nervous or acne.

- Miss...

- Gamble.

What about this address?

- Isn't that the one you're looking for?

- Yes, but how did you do it?

I don't know. I just saw you

looking around for something

and wondered what it was and...

You know, I knew.

Very well,

I won't pry into trade secrets.

Yeah.

About this yellow-finger problem...

Can you do any other tricks?

No. You see, I only have until

tomorrow night, and I was desperate.

And that's why I busted on

your lecture, so I could meet you...

What else do you do?

Come on, you can trust me.

Well...

...sometimes...

...I do get the feeling when

the phone's gonna ring.

Or when someone' s

gonna drop in.

So I wait.

And sometimes I can tell

when people

are thinking about me,

so I'll go to see them.

I mean, you know, if I like them.

And

that's about all.

No.

That's all. That's all.

I make flowers grow.

- You make flowers grow?

- Fast. I mean, fast.

And how do you do that?

I don't know.

Doctor, about these cigarettes...

Well, why don't you

just make them disappear.

I don't blame you.

I know it sounds...

It sounds so silly.

Well, never mind, doctor.

I'm really sorry I bothered you.

Thanks anyway.

Oh, answer your phone.

Yes?

Yes, Dr Chabot speaking.

Yes, Conrad. I'm coming.

Order me a...

Double whiskey.

And you thought she saw it

sticking out of the dictionary

on the other side of the room.

Remarkable, isn't it?

- And you think it was a trick?

- She couldn't have guessed it.

Marc, I know as a psychiatrist
