On a train from New York to San Francisco, Blaine sets out to prove Myra wrong...by romancing her. Is he sincere, or does he have a dark ulterior motive?

Fruits of what I saw,

people I have known.

It is here that I write.

- You want a drink?

- Yes.

Scotch, orange juice, milk?

- Like you.

- Milk.

What is it?

A guided missile?

No, my dictation machine.

I had never seen before.

I did it on purpose.

I love walking by dictating.

I'll show you ...

You see that?

It is a microphone.

There are four in the room.

The command is there.

I turn it on, the microphones are connected

automatically.

I mean, the record stores.

I stop, it stops.

Very ingenious.

Here, try it out.

Wander the room.

Say something.

Well?

"The early morning,

"I fell asleep in the evening,

I think of you.

"You're the air that surrounds me,

"The sky dominates me,

earth

"Under my feet.

"Listening to music,

contemplate the beauty,

"Breathe in the sun

make me think of you.

"You're the sister I missed

mother and I almost forgot,

"The woman I've always dreamed of.

"All the ties that bind

man and woman,

"I want to weave with you.

"Nothing with you."

It's very flattering

to hear mentioned.

I will revert.

Say something.

Well

"The early morning,

"falling asleep in the evening,

I think of you.

"You're the air that surrounds me,

"the sky dominates me,

the earth beneath my feet.

"Listening to music,

contemplate the beauty,

"breathe in the sun

make me think of you.

"You're the sister I missed

mother and I almost forgot,

"the woman I've always dreamed of.

"All the ties that bind

man and woman,

"I want to weave with you.

"Nothing with you."

It's very flattering

to hear mentioned.

Wonderful day.

Every moment.

We dine at seven o'clock.

I'll be there before.

- I listen

- Miss!

For two hours I try

obtain Prospect 17171.

The line is out?

- One moment, please.

- Thank you.

A delegation sends us

to find out where our hostess.

Must descend.

I arrive in a minute.

Dear Professor manners

since I was a kid:

everyone expects.

's phone number:

17171 ...

not responding.

He had to get him something.

He had the wrong day.

This reception

was in his honor.

Myra, I got it.

Join your guests.

It is the wrong time.

He would have called,

he calls every night.

He would not have two hours late,

something had happened to him.

I gotta go.

- I'll be driving, Myra?

- No, I must go alone.

And guests?

Tell them what you want.

Where were you?

I called constantly.

Forgive me.

Where are you going?

I do not have a place in your life.

Not my place.

And you were leaving?

Without even saying a word?

I am not of your world.

You so much.

I have nothing.

Without you I have nothing.

Honey?

- Hello!

- Hello.

Did you sleep well?

Wonderfully.

- Come on, get enough sleep.

- No, stop!
