Phone Call from a Stranger Page #3

Will you let me hold your hand?

Hey.

Hey, Doc...

the counselor's quite

a fast operator, huh?

Well?

Okay so far.

Do you go through life like this?

- Worrying, you mean?

- Worrying unnecessarily...

about things that you

can't do anything about.

Well, I don't know

how necessary it is...

but airplanes get a very high priority

on my worrying list.

You know, I doubt if there's anything

more consistently uncomfortable...

than a fine, modern

luxury airliner...

but the New York subway

scares me more.

There's one very important thing

you forget about the subway.

In case anything happens,

the most you can fall is up.

- You ever meet a stripper?

- No, never.

Well, I go to burlesque now and then,

you know, just to kinda keep up on the technique.

But I never thought I'd meet one socially.

Hey, you know, you never can tell.

I was reading in one of these movie

magazines the other day about the big star-

I forget her name, but you always

see her picture sitting beside a pool...

or in a bathing suit saying hello

to Santa Claus at Christmastime.

- You know.

- Yeah.

It turns out that she

teaches a Sunday school class.

You're wearing out

your nerves for nothing.

Why don't you try and relax

a little while? Aren't you sleepy?

Are you kiddin'?

Well, I'm afraid I am.

You don't mind if I take a nap, do you?

No. Go ahead.

You sleep. I'll watch.

Mr. Trask?

- Hmm?

- My name is Carr.

My stage name's Binky Gay, but my

real name is Carr- Mrs. Bianca Carr.

Mrs. Carr?

As long as we're spending the night together,

we might as well know each other's names.

- Yes?

- Salt Lake's closed in. We're going into Vega.

- When?

- Now.

Adjust your seat belts, please.

We're going to land

in a few minutes.

Are we gonna land at Salt Lake City?

Salt Lake Airport's closed in.

We're going to land at Vega...

until the weather

conditions improve.

# Oh, he flies through the air

with the greatest of ease #

# He's the daring young man

on the flying trapeze #

# His actions are graceful

The girls he does please #

# He's stolen

my true love away ##

Oh, brother. They just lost me.

From now on I walk.

- What's she look like?

- We can get out of here, all right-

anytime they say

we can get in there.

I'll tell Salt Lake.

How many more days

we gonna be here, Skipper?

- Not much longer.

- Don't do me any favors, chum.

Hey, you know what?

I just got an idea.

Here we never even heard

of each other four hours ago...

and now we're just like

a regular Four Musketeers-

talking together, chewing the fat.

Talking about our families and everything

just like we was old friends.

Well, that's the way it always is.
