Three Strangers Page #2

No, no, he's quite

out of reach in Canada.

Oh.

One makes a mistake,

And suddenly one's

whole life is shattered.

But perhaps it isn't too late,

if our wish is granted.

I don't

understand.

A beautiful

woman like you,

It shouldn't

be necessary.

No, you misunderstand me.

It would be quite impossible

to buy him back,

Even if I were willing

to do such a thing.

Well, then...

I want enough money

to be independent,

Then there can be

no doubt in his mind.

Perhaps you've both heard

the Chinese proverb,

"You can trust love only when

there's nothing to be gained by it. "

And you?

What's yours?

Do you know the long bar at the royal?

Yes.

Well, I'd buy it

and move in.

How much time

have we left?

30 seconds.

Do you realize what you're

asking Kwan Yin to do?

We want her to

reshuffle a hand

That destiny has

already dealt us.

Why? Because, uh, we hope

to get higher cards.

A little presumptuous

on our part, isn't it?

I wouldn't worry about

it, if I were you.

I won't.

The lights! The matches!

The matches!

You just had them.

Where are they?

I think

I saw them over here.

I can't

find them!

I have the matches.

You know,

a moment ago,

I- I could have sworn

she was smiling at us.

No.

What more proof

do you want?

Can't you even

believe what you see?

But I can't say

I saw anything.

She opened her eyes.

Kwan Yin kept her promise.

Now the wish

- If one's come true, so will the other.

Yes, sir,

and then, uh,

even you

will believe.

Indeed I will.

If you'll excuse me,

I must be going along.

Wait, I'll come

with you.

You've both been

very kind.

It was a pleasure,

Missus-er...

Shackleford. Crystal Shackleford.

I go by the name of west.

Johnny West.

Arbutny is mine.

Jerome K. Arbutny.

We'll be back to share

in the sweepstakes.

I'll expect you.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, mister,

didn't you

forget something?

What?

My 3 shillings.

Oh, that.

If I may speak frankly, this has been

A most unsatisfactory evening.

Say, that couldn't

be-

Of course it is.

The photograph.

I never forget a face. It's Shackleford.

She certainly works fast,

that Kwan Yin.

As far as

I'm concerned,

I never want to see

this place again.

Unless of course

the ticket wins.

Hello, Crystal.

David!

I knew it.

I knew

you'd come back.

You expected me?

Oh, not tonight,

of course,

But sometime,

sometime soon.

Well, I, uh, my boat

just docked tonight.

I thought you might

still be up.

And you came to

see me right away.

Oh, David,

I'm so happy,

I'm so terribly

happy.

As a matter of fact, I-

I have something

rather important

I wanted to talk over

with you.

Yes? Well,
