Say, I want to leave a call

for 7:
00 tomorrow morning.

Yeah. Good night.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

DIANA:
May I come in?

Yeah.

Do you happen to have

any sleeping pills?

'Cause I know

I'm not going to be

able to sleep.

I think I've got some

in my bag here.

We used to carry them

for passengers.

There you are.

Thanks.

There's only three left.

Mmm-hmm.

You won't be needing any,

will you?

Uh-uh.

Good night.

Good night.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Hi, Marv! I just came

on duty and I heard

you were registered.

Thought I'd come up

and have a chat with you.

Well, listen, Dick,

I'm paralyzed.

I'm practically

out on my feet.

I had a pretty rough trip.

I'll see you in the morning

before I leave, huh?

Okay, good night.

(MUMBLES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

DIANA:
Can I come in?

Can she come in,

she wants to know.

It's those sleeping pills.

They don't seem to work.

I'm in knots.

I can't even lie down.

Why don't you take two?

Well, I took all three,

but they must be awfully

weak ones. You...

Do you think

they'd have stronger ones

down at the desk?

I'll find out.

Let me speak to

Mr. Hebert, please.

Excuse me.

Hello, Dick?

Say, Dick,

I was wondering,

do you happen to have

a sleeping pill down there

you could send up to me?

I thought you said you were

out on your feet.

What do you want

with a pill?

Uh...

I guess I'm too sleepy.

You know, knots.

Yeah. Well,

thanks very much, Dick.

He'll send one right up.

Good.

Say, I don't think

you'd better be here.

They might not understand.

No, I guess

they wouldn't.

I wish I knew what I was

going to do about clothes

in the morning.

We'll figure out something

in the morning, shall we?

I'd better disappear.

(MUMBLING)

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

Here's the pill.

Oh, Dick, well,

you didn't have to

bring it up yourself.

No trouble.

I thought I'd come up

and keep you company,

since you can't sleep.

Say, I ran into

Johnny Matthews today.

You remember. He used

to be operations officer

with our outfit?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

He was telling me that...

Go ahead. Take the capsule.

I'll sit here

till you pass out.

Well, I don't think

you'd better do that, Dick.

With someone around,

I'm liable to stay awake

all night.

Okay, pal,

I'll run along.

Say, that stuff is

pretty strong.

If you want to wake up early,

you'd better take

only a half of it.

Stick a pin in the capsule and

take some of the powder out.

All right, I'll do that.

And thanks ever so much, Dick.

Well, good night.

Good night, Dick.

What's the idea

of sleeping in here?

There's a bedroom, you know.

Yes, I know.

But I didn't want to

muss it up, you know,

when I'm here

on a special rate.

Oh, that's silly, pal.
