(0.00 / 0 votes)My name is-
You mustn't tell me.
Why mustn't I?
I mightn't like it.
Gay, wasn't it?
The crowd?
If you like crowds.
I don't.
Begging your pardon,
what were you doing
in it?
Looking for you.
Really?
I'm afraid I don't
quite understand.
Of course.
Delighted.
It's one flight up.
Sir.
I'm sorry I can't
introduce you.
You see, I don't know this
gentleman's name, either.
Won't you have
a chair?
It's only whiskey.
If you don't mind,
I think I'll go.
Oh, no,
you mustn't really.
After getting you
all the way up here?
I'm sorry,
it's rather late.
Oh, please don't,
please.
I ask you as a favor.
I played the same trick
on the other gentleman.
He doesn't seem to mind.
Oh, no.
On the contrary,
I'm having a very good time.
You don't know
each other?
No more than you and I.
I got him
off the street, too,
In much the same manner.
We're three strangers,
that's the point.
Point? What point?
Please sit down.
You can play.
Even the piano
must be astonished.
Please don't stop.
All right, I won't-
Unless it interferes with
more important things.
You're both being
very patient with me.
The reason that I
brought you up here
Was to meet Kwan yin.
She's a very ancient
personage.
The goddess of fortune
and destiny,
Of life and death.
She was given to me when my
husband and I were in the orient.
Very interesting. But what
has that to do with us?
There's a legend that
at midnight on Chinese new year,
Kwan Yin will open her eyes
and her heart to 3 strangers.
This happens to be
the night.
Yes?
Why to
three strangers?
That's perhaps because in the orient,
The 3 is the symbol
of the luck principle,
Like with us
the 7.
Indeed? How did you know that?
I've managed to collect here and there
Some useless bits of information.
Open its eyes?
How can it?
It's made of bronze.
You do not believe
in miracles, I see.
Hardly.
Pardon me, sir,
But then what do
you believe in?
Who, me?
I believe in what
I can see.
What I can get
my hands on.
And I believe that those
things are not at all real.
Who are we to
say that
The legend of
Kwan Yin
Is any less real
than the iron
You just tapped
with your ring?
What's
the matter?
Three
on a match?
you see?
Well, everyone has
some silly superstition.
Then you can afford
to humor mine,
Even if that's all
it is.
Very well.
I'll stay and witness
your miracle, as you call it.
If it's to happen at midnight,
we have only 5 minutes to go.
That gives us just time
to make our wish.
Wish?
Yes. I mentioned that Kwan Yin
would not only open her eyes,
But her heart as well.
Whatever we ask for
she will grant.
That's the kind
of lady I like.
The only difficulty is, it has to
be the same wish for all three of us.
What could that
possibly be?
I've been thinking
about it for several days.
You see, the wish that
I have my heart set on
Is one that I couldn't possibly
expect strangers to share.
But I found
the solution.
What one wish can make
all others come true?
It's very simple:
money.
Money? That's all right
with me.
Although I think that you
slightly overestimate its power.
No, I have no objections to money.
How much do you
suppose
The Chinese lady can be touched for?
A few thousand
pounds?
That's a very
trifling amount,
But, uh... I think
I can use it.
Look.
Do you think she would
answer a prayer like this?
A sweepstake
ticket.
Anything will do,
If we have
sufficient faith.
Well, now, that would
be a proper miracle.
You know where
I got it?
I bought it from
a girl in a cafe,
Paid my last
