The Mind Reader Page #5

[Deep voice] I don't know.

What is it?

Hotbox.

How long

will we be here?

Oh, about half-hour,

I guess.

Come on.

Let's get some air.

I've seen

pictures of places like this,

but I never believed it.

Oh, I wish we could... I wish

I could stay here forever.

Won't you

make it "we"?

Maybe.

Well, staying here forever

wouldn't be such a bad idea.

What about the train?

[Chuckles]

Well, after all,

I was only wishing.

Beautiful.

Yes, it is gorgeous,

isn't it?

Not it. You.

Do you

really mean that,

or are you just trying

to make me happy?

Both... I mean it, and I'd like

nothing better in the world

than to make you happy.

Oh, you're sweet.

What's on your mind?

You ought to know.

You're the mind reader.

[Chuckles]

One look from you

and my power of concentration

is scattered.

Really?

I haven't thought of

much else except you

for the last few weeks.

I think about you

all day.

I dream

about you at night.

Do you ever

think of me?

Of course.

What?

What do you see

in your crystal?

I see us

becoming good friends...

Close friends.

Closer... And closer.

Wouldn't that

be glorious?

I see us brought together

by that universal force...

The power

that makes these blossoms,

the urge that makes

all of life...

The force that makes

the world go 'round.

Love.

And I suppose all this

is very far in the future?

No.

Well, when?

Now.

I can see you

in my arms.

I hear you say,

"I love ..."

[Train whistle blows]

And I can hear

the train whistle!

Come on!

We'll have to run for it!

[Train whistle blows]

Frank:
"I have been

married 10 years."

"I love children.

Will I ever have a baby?

Signed, Mrs. b."

"I have saved up $900.

"Please advise me

what would be

a good investment, or ..."

So this is the way

he reads their minds.

I thought chan told you

to stay out of here

while he's working.

Sure, he did,

and now I know why.

Well, I told him

when he took you with the show

he was shaking hands

with trouble!

My good friends, this will

conclude the performance.

[Audience murmuring]

Chan's gonna be sore at you

if he finds you in here.

Lying and cheating

the public...

That's a fine way

to make a living.

Sylvia.

I am ashamed of you.

I admit that

this part of my act is a fake.

It's got to be.

The great chandra.

All these fairy tales

about your supernatural powers!

[Scoffs]

Sylvia,

I have supernatural power.

Yes,

this looks like it.

What did I tell you?

Dames is just bad news!

That's what they are!

Just bad news!

Go on. Get out of here.

Get out!

All right, all right.

Don't bawl me out.

I ain't the one sore at you.

It's your funeral.

Sylvia, this is

very simple to explain.
