The Other Side of Midnight Page #6

You've been here, what-

- Six weeks:

- Six weeks:
In six weeks.

You've taken the most respected

publicity firm in Washington.

- And you turned it into a crapshoot:

- Hasn't been easy:

All right:
I'm taking you

off all existing accounts.

And I'm putting you exclusively

on prospective accounts:

[Door Closes]

[Phone Rings]

- Is that a promotion or a demotion?

- I have no idea:

Well, do I get a raise?

No, but you don't get fired:

Now get out of here:

And then I think it important

to play down the industrial activity.

And to promote an image

of a vital commodity crossing a continent.

To service vital American needs:

Right:

Uh, you see that gets ready

for presentation first thing in the morning?

- Mm-hmm:

- Oh, Jesus:

It's after midnight: I had no idea:

I'm sorry, Cathy:

It's no problem:

I enjoyed it:

It's kind of glamorous:

Washington at night:

Last-minute nuttiness

and- and all of that:

It's kind of fun:

I think I'll give you a present:

Oh, God, I want one:

[Chuckles]

How would a salary of, uh, 40 a week strike you?

Right through the heart:

- Hmm:
Well, you're worth more:

- I know:

Come on:

I'll take you home:

[Sighs]

You better:

- Thank you:

- Good night, kid: Sleep tight:

Night:

[Sighs]

Sh*t:

- Wa-Waiter:

- Mademoiselle:

Please, if this gentleman

should arrive and ask for this lady.

- Have him telephone this number:

- Yes:
Of course:

Thank you:

- Good night:

- Good night:

[Noelles Voice]

He must be dead:

I know it:

He has been killed,

and-

and now he's dead:

It's over!

It's over!

- Now, child-

- No! Don't touch me!

Not even your wonderful aviator

can keep a promise like that:

It's impossible:

Three weeks to the day? To the hour?

No! You don't understand:

He would have been here: Even if he was

wounded, he would have been here:

- Noelle, listen:

- Leave me-

- Noelle!

- No!

Listen!

Noelle, you will

stay here with me tonight:

Do you hear?

Do you hear me?

- Yes:

- You will stay here and stop acting like a child:

Hmm?

Now, tomorrow is

a very important day for us:

We're showing a new collection.

And many people will be here:

Hmm?

Noelle, he will be back:

He will:

You'll see:

He will be back:

Of course he'll be back:

He'll be back:

You'll see:

Thank you, Noelle:

And Janice is wearing

a gray print chiffon dress.

Over a peach satin slip:

Thats very lovely:

Thank you:

There you are:

Just step out of it:

[Chattering]

[Woman]

I just wish I had my mirror: Where is my mirror?
