The Sentinel Page #2

been stared at before.

Yes, but...

That's Father Halliran in 5A.

He's been here for years.

He's a priest. He's kind of senile.

Hejust sits by the window.

He's blind.

Blind?

Well, then what does he look at?

Quick. Give me the other camera.

I'm not going to get it like this again.

Alison, move to the left.

For Christ's sake, hold 'em still.!

- Jack, help me.

- Here, birdie! Here, birdie!

Oh, my God!

- Get them on the cement!

- Come back! Come on!

- Oh, Christ!

- Oh!

Let's get it together again, fellas.

Is there a Miss Parker here?

- Alison!

- Jack, may I?

Why not? The ship's sinking.

Hello? Michael, hi!

Oh, it's going just terrific.

Two Afghans are eating six peacocks.

I'll see you at 8:00.

Okay. Bye-bye.

It was at the base of my skull,

and then there was a tingling sensation

in my arms and my legs...

and then everything just went numb.

Anything now?

Not a thing now.

I mean, they put an ice pack on my head

and five minutes later I was just fine.

Is that clock right?

Yeah, it's five to 8:00.

I'd best be off.

Aren't you going to stay

and say hello to Michael?

Never destroy a tender moment.

Oh, we've only been apart for two weeks.

Well, here.

Thanks a lot for the vase.

Hey, listen, be happy here.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, you're welcome.

Oh, my love to Michael.

Okay. Bye.

Bye-bye.

Chazen is the name.

Charles Chazen.

I'm your neighbor in 4B.

Oh.

And this is Mortimer.

He's from Brazil.

And this, on the other hand,

so to speak... this is Jezebel.

Say hello

to that nice lady, Jezebel.

That's it, darling.

He's got indigestion.

Well, hi, I'm Alison.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

May we, uh...

Oh, what a lovely apartment.

Absolutely lovely!

I was wondering when I was

going to meet my new neighbors.

My, and you're so pretty.

Haven't I seen you before

on television?

Now, don't tell me.

I know. You were in, uh...

I've done some TV commercials.

Oh, really? I thought

you were an actress.

Let me see.

Herbert Hoover!

A noble president.

Oh, dear, he's my favorite.

Isn't he lovely?

That doesn't look like him.

Of course it does, darling.

L... I admired him so.

"I shall go to Korea," he said.

And got him elected.

That was Eisenhower.

Really? Well, Hoover must have

said something, didn't he?

"Give me liberty or give me death."

That's it. That's it.

Oh, a great man!

Oh, my dear,

your taste is impeccable!

I wish you'd help me redecorate

my poor place someday.

Would you, hmm?

Were you waiting to go out?

I'm sorry.

I'm waiting for a friend.

Ah, well!

Friendships often blossom

into bliss, as they say.

And speaking of bliss,

Mortimer loves to have

his stomach rubbed. Would you?
