Alright.

Well, you look a little better.

- I don't feel better.

- Here.

Thanks.

Uh...

I... I don't even

know your name.

Holly macgregor.

What did you want to

talk to me about?

Uh, a number of things.

One is that, uh...

Jim said he was in love with

you and wanted to marry you.

He told me that, too.

Well, then why is it your

fault that Jim is dead and

why weren't you at the funeral?

Why don't we just drop it.

No, we won't just drop it. I'd like

to know. He was a friend of mine.

Can't you just let it go?

Alright, I'll tell you.

He's dead because

he was in love with me,

because I'm bad luck.

That's why it was my fault.

That's crazy.

Is it? Are you so sure?

Twice before, the same

thing happened.

And, each time, I wound up going

to a funeral instead of a wedding.

Do you want to hear how

the other two died?

Uh, no, no. Not necessarily.

Well, anyway, I met Jim.

And we had fun.

A lot of fun.

And, when he asked me to marry

him, I thought why not?

Then I remembered,

and I said no,

and I told him why...

Because I was a

hoodoo and a jinx,

but he wouldn't believe

in my kind of luck.

That's why he died and that's

why I didn't go to the funeral.

Oh, damn it.

Why did he have to die?

Why did he have to run into me?

That's a lot of

damn nonsense, Holly.

Oh, I knew you'd say that.

I could have bet you'd say that.

Oh, I'm making a fool of myself. Excuse me.

Come on in.

Morning.

Uh, coffee.

Help yourself.

No, no thanks.

I had mine.

How's the young lady

this morning?

That's a long St...

The young lady's making

a fool of herself again.

Oh? Well, maybe you

better tell me about it.

I'll, uh, tell you later, pat.

Pat kazarian, aren't you?

- Yes. Yes, I am.

- I'm Holly macgregor.

Holly.

Jim said the only reason

he'd leave California

is to drive one of your cars.

Yeah, well maybe he should've

stayed in California.

Yeah, maybe he should have.

Yeah.

Well, uh,

wh-what's going on?

Um, I was just going to ask Holly

what she's going to do now.

Get a job.

Save enough money to

go back to California.

Well, maybe we can help.

Thanks just the same.

I think it would be better

if I got some work to do.

Maybe we know somebody.

Um...

Uh, who do we know?

- Well, I know you.

- And I know you.

I can see you're going to be

just what I need.

Look I don't think you have

to worry, Holly, about a job just yet

because I just talked to bill France at the

race track just before I came over here.

It seems that Jim loomis turned over

his insurance to you

- just before the race.

- Oh no.

In a couple days

you should get $10,000.

I couldn't take it.

Well, he had no family. You're all he had.
