How do you know?

You'll get well.

That is if you do

as the doctor says.

Some of these people just

make trouble for themselves.

There. Now you're all set

for the morning.

I'll be back later.

Don't pay any

attention to her.

We don't take ourselves

too seriously here,

not seriously at all.

I'm Celestine Miller.

I know who you are.

- I watched you

at dinner last night.

- Yes, I know.

- I heard you

last night, too.

- Heard me?

When Tony came in.

Tony? Oh, you mean

Dr. Stanton.

Yes, Dr. Stanton.

Don't you call him Tony yet?

No, not yet.

You're really quite

ill, aren't you?

So they say.

I'm not.

I'm just playing sick.

My husband thinks he's

in love with another woman,

And my being here

makes him feel guilty.

- Would you like a cigarette?

- No, thank you.

Tony has indoctrinated you,

hasn't he?

Yes, I suppose so.

- What do you think of him?

I think he's charming.

First day he's

always charming.

Mrs. Miller.

I'll see you after the gong.

- This is charming.

- It's mine. Like to see it?

Yes.

This is pleasant.

Well, it's quiet.

Just like a cool hand

on your forehead.

So removed and yet

just a few steps from the...

When you want to get away

from there, come over here.

The door's always open.

Careful. I might

take you up on that.

Your piano

looks very inviting.

You didn't tell me

you played.

I wouldn't dare

in front of you.

Looks as though you

haven't played

for a long time.

No, I haven't,

but if you're in the mood

for confession.

When I was about seven,

I did toy with the idea

of becoming a pianist myself.

What made you change

your mind?

When I was eight,

I met a small girl

who had a doll

That was always being sick.

No, this is true,

And I used to play the part

of the doctor, you see?

She was a singularly

beautiful little girl,

And I decided that

a doctor's life must

a singularly happy one.

- So here I am.

- What happened

to the little girl?

I think she married

a pianist.

I'm sorry. Not yet.

Don't tell me this

is forbidden, too.

- For the time being.

- Why?

It's asked too much

of you already.

You need a good rest.

But I must play.

Playing the piano is my life.

It was your life.

It will be again.

But for the moment,

you must try and think

of yourself

As being in a deep sleep

between today and tomorrow.

Before you know it,

the darkness will have gone

just the way it went last night.

Is there anything that

isn't forbidden around here?

Lots of things.

Among them, hope.

Hope?

Yes, you're right.

I'm sorry.

While I was lying down

this morning, I realized

There was no use of my

trying to fight you.

- I didn't know you were.

- It was only fear.
