on the fourth floor
in the broom closet,
a bulb has been burning
for several days.
Find the man responsible.
Dock his pay.
Yes, Earl.
Table, miss?
No, thank you.
I'm looking for someone.
Oh, there they are.
Pardon me.
How about another?
I really shouldn't.
Bartender,
two more stingers.
Make it three.
Uh, no, just two,
please.
I have to go.
An appointment
with my psychiatrist.
Do you always drink
stingers, Mr. Stroud?
Mm-hmm.
What makes you think
my name is Stroud?
Oh, I'm psychic...
horoscopes,
crystal balls, astrology.
Perhaps I should've
brought a deck of cards.
Your hand will do.
Oh, I see a stranger
coming into your life,
a woman of mystery.
Does she know
I'm married?
Yes. And I saw
a recent quarrel
with a very unpleasant man,
a publisher,
and the words, "26 hours
a day, Christmases,
Fourth of Julys..."
Wait a minute.
You've been doing a lot more
than just reading palms.
You might add a pinch
of listening in Earl's
office this morning.
What were you doing
in his office?
We're old friends.
Perhaps I should say
we were.
Didn't think he had
any friends.
Thought all he was
crazy about was clocks.
Maybe I have
a clock.
What you said this morning
made me think we have
a great deal in common.
You know the inside Janoth.
I know the outside.
And together we...
Oh, oh, Georgette!
Say, you're late.
Oh, oh, this is Miss...
Pauline York.
She was
telling my fortune.
Oh. With tea leaves,
I see.
Don't let me disturb you.
I'm afraid the psychic
vibrations are unsympathetic.
Good-bye, George.
She is psychic.
I'm definitely
unsympathetic.
Let me explain.
It better be good.
Believe me, it is good,
because A:
She just sat down.
B:
I wouldn't makea pass at her on a bet.
C:
You knew I'd be along.And D:
This proves it...a reserved table,
champagne,
everything.
Now, did you
get the tickets?
Mm-hmm.
A drawing room
on the 722
from Penn Station.
Next stop:
Wheeling, West Virginia.
I still can't
believe we're going.
I get so worried sometimes.
Worried? That's no mood
for a honeymoon, darling.
I know,
but sometimes I think
you married that magazine.
We got a certificate
that says different.
But we're like two strangers.
Either you come
dragging home too tired
to talk to me,
or you're having fun
with some dancer
in San Francisco.
I told you.
That was an article.
"How to Look at a Wall
in Six Easy Lessons."
We should have stayed
in West Virginia.
We'd be a family now,
an honest-to-goodness,
full-time family.
George, the whole thing
is wrong.
Little George doesn't know you.
A boy needs his father,
someone to teach him
