No. Nothing.

You seem to have made

a total recovery.

I'm all better?

Just like that?

From what I can see...

you're in complete remission.

There's not a trace

of it left.

That's great!

But let's not get ahead

of ourselves here.

I'd still like to do some

more tests just to make sure --

No. No more tests.

No more pills.

No more needles.

No more nothing.

This might seem like

a dumb question,

But...

do you feel alright?

Do I feel alright...

I feel better than alright.

I feel great.

Did you get laid

or something?

Nina!

Whatever you're doing,

keep it up.

It's six. I'm outta here.

Hello?

Hi. Miss Jordan.

Miss Jordan, are you

there?

Yeah. I'm here.

It's Raif Collins. I just wanted

to come by and get my items.

Now?

Yeah, if it's not a

problem.

Actually I wanted to show you my

appreciation and treat you to dinner.

Assuming everything went

well at the auction.

Dinner? You want dinner now?

You -- Dinner?

Yeah.

Are -- Are you okay?

I'm fine. I have

to do something.

Okay. I can be there in an

hour. Is that enough time?

Miss Jordan?

Yeah. That's fine.

Yeah. That'd be fine.

Okay. I'll see you then.

Bye.

Sh*t.

Oww!

Hello.

Hey, it's me.

I'm right outside.

Yeah. Okay, fine.

So... no problems?

No... none.

Great.

That's great.

What happened to

your finger?

My what?

Your -- Your finger.

I cut it.

Okay.

Uhh...

so...

Can I -- Can I have em?

My items...

Oh. Yeah yeah yeah.

There she is.

Wow.

What do you know.

Is something wrong?

No, no, no. It's just...

it's not really what I was...

hoping for.

Thanks though. Thanks for

everything you've done.

Thank you.

Sure.

No problem --

Where is it?

Where's what?

Don't -- Don't -- Don't...

"Where's what?"

You didn't open it, did you?

No.

You didn't open it, did you?

No.

C'mon.

No.

No. Yes, I --

Look, I --

I promise I will find

a way to pay you back.

I -- I have to go now.

Hello again.

Is there something I

can do for you?

Well we were just in

the neighborhood,

And decided to patronize

your humble establishment.

Very ecclectic.

That was quite the spirited

display you put on the other night.

Very dramatic. It was --

"Hold on, hold on!"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"Wait just a sec!"

"Stop right there."

"Stop. Right. There."

She reaches in her purse.

The suspense builds.

A collective shudder from

the crowd, and then...

edging me out.

By this much.

It was painful.

I have to say.

What is it you want, Mr. Poe?

That's what I like.

A woman who likes to get

right down to it.

The box and the book.

Not for sale.

I think you misunderstand me.

I'm not offering to buy them.

How about now? No?

You look different.

When we met at the
