00:07I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mary Henry.
00:10Yeah, I know.
00:12I heard you tell Mrs. Thomas you haven't eaten anything yet.
00:16I just thought, being able in all this, I haven't eaten anything either.
00:20I just thought we'd ask you out to dinner.
00:23That's very thoughtful of you, but I can't accept.
00:25I know, I know. We haven't met her or anything yet, but I just thought...
00:28I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me.
00:31Look, there's a really nice restaurant, you know, right down the street, and I just thought...
00:35I'm just kind of a guy who doesn't like to eat by himself.
00:38I've made arrangements to eat in my room tonight.
00:41Hey, if you change your mind, you just holler.
00:48Well, it's kind of lonesome in here.
00:51Good night, Mr. Linden.
01:14Good night, Mr. Linden.
01:44Oh, come on!
02:15Miss Henry, it's Miss Thomas.
02:38Who's the man in the hall?
02:42Oh, you must mean Mr. Linden.
02:48He has the room across the hall.
02:51No, I mean the other one.
02:54There is no other.
02:58Me and you and Mr. Linden.
03:01Us three is all there is in this house.
03:03But you must have passed him out there.
03:06You're needing this food.
03:09Going with that?
03:10Eating makes you jumpy sometimes.
03:13Maybe you heard the boards pop or something.
03:17These old houses creak worse than my knees.
03:19I didn't hear him, Mrs. Thomas.
03:21I saw him.
03:25Now, don't talk that way.
03:29I don't sleep so good as it is.
03:33It's these old houses.
03:35They're big enough so that you can hide a man in every corner.
03:42You just gotta not let your imagination run away with me.
03:46Are you going out there?
03:47Well, of course.
04:09There's nobody there.
04:13Now, you just go and eat that sandwich I made for you.
04:19Don't drink the coffee if coffee keeps you awake.
04:23It won't.
04:27Coffee never keeps me awake.
04:58What will you do?
05:02What's that?
05:13Oh, my God.
05:52Well, good morning.
05:55I heard your alarm. I knew you'd be up.
05:57Guess what I got.
05:58I can't imagine.
06:00Oh, just what it takes to start the day off right.
06:03I'll make it in my room.
06:04You know, it saves me having to go out and get dressed up.
06:07I guess I had to get dressed to come over here anyway.
06:10Oh, it looks just like what I need.
06:12Well, and two cups of coffee coming up.
06:19Hey, uh, I guess you took a wrong last night about me coming to your door and all that.
06:26I'm not a very sociable person ordinarily.
06:29How can I resist an inducement like this?
06:31What?
06:33Come on, I don't know all those big words.
06:35I'm just an ordinary guy who works in a warehouse, that's all.
06:38I make pretty good money, though.
06:41Hey, look, I got a couple of shots left over from last night.
06:44You want a little bit in yours?
06:45No, thanks.
06:46It's not the recommended breakfast for a church organist.
06:49Oh, is that what you do?
06:51Hey, you mean they pay somebody to play the organ in church?
06:54Some churches do.
06:56Hey, I hope you don't mind about this.
06:59I just didn't know you were a church woman.
07:01To me, a church is just a place of business.
07:04Well, that's a funny way to look at it.
07:06Why?
07:07People seem shocked because I took a job in a church,
07:10and I regard it simply as a job.
07:13I'm a professional organist, and I play for pay, that's all.
07:17Thinking like that, don't that give you nightmares?
07:21Strange you should say that.
07:23But as a matter of fact, not for that reason, mind you,
07:27but I had the strangest feeling last night.
07:31Yeah, I had kind of a lost night myself.
07:35It's funny.
07:37The world is so different in the daylight.
07:41But in the dark, your fantasies get so out of hand.
07:45But in the daylight, everything falls back into place again.
07:51Let's have no more nights.
07:54Or let's make them more interesting.
08:00Say, how'd you get to be a church organist?
08:02I studied in college.
08:04I could have gone to college.
08:06Yeah, I used to play pretty good football,
08:08but they wanted me to take a lot of classes and things, you know?
08:11Well, they're that way.
08:12Well, I'm just as smart as the next guy.
08:15Yeah, but I just didn't dig with the old teaching in school, you know?
08:18And the thing I hated most was principal products.
08:23Principal products?
08:24Yeah, you know, you know, like the principal products of Brazil.
08:27Uh, I don't know, jeez.
08:32Coffee, beans, a snake oil, you know, like that.
08:35Yeah.
08:35When I was at school, I couldn't care less.
08:38Now, you know, what I cared about was girls.
08:40Didn't they offer a course in that?
08:42If they would have done that, I would have graduated.
08:47What's the matter?
08:48Can you still taste the coffee?
08:50Come on, what do you think?
08:51I'm an alcoholic?
08:53Look, I just like to start the day off in a good mood, that's all.
08:56You must be hilarious by noon.
08:58Look, I'm just the kind of a guy employers want, you know, the happy worker.
09:03Come on, come on, naive.
09:04Make your morning happy?
09:06This morning, you're exactly what I needed.
09:09You're gonna need me in the evening, too.
09:11You just don't know what you're...
09:14I'll rinse off these cups.
09:15Oh, no, no, no, just spoils the flavor for tomorrow.
09:19Well, thank you for the coffee.
09:21It was unsanitary, but delicious.
09:23Well, uh, should have put some of the germ killer inside.
09:29Well, I, uh, hate to leave so early.
09:32I think you can get through the door.
09:35You know, you got the wrong impression of me.
09:37Well, I meant because you had so many things to carry.
09:40Oh.
09:41Well, like I said, I hate to leave.
09:43Well, it's been a pleasure, Mr. Linden, but I'm sure you have to get to work.
09:47Well, don't you?
09:48No, I have the whole day free for shopping.
10:03Does the hem hang right in back?
10:05We might change the hemline a little.
10:08The drape is just fine.
10:09Otherwise, it looks very nice.
10:12I'm sure it isn't very chic to take the second dress, but I like it.
10:16We altered a little here to make it straight all the way around.
10:20There, do you want to go back to your dressing room?
10:24What?
10:38I'm sure it dates back to life.
10:39I got her back to another one time...
10:40I got back to life a little poor partner.
10:43I got her first.
10:43I want her first to come back and have more time.
10:44I'm sorry for you for the first day.
10:45I'm sorry for you, my son.
11:44I believe I have you delivered the dress, if you don't mind.
11:48I did say I'd take it.
12:06What's the matter with her?
12:12What's the matter with everyone?
12:17Why don't they answer me?
12:21What's the matter with everyone?
14:01What is it?
14:02That man.
14:05I didn't mean any harm.
14:07I just stopped to get a drink.
14:08No.
14:10No.
14:12It was that man.
14:15That man.
14:18There was someone else there.
14:21That strange man was there.
14:22Now, look.
14:23Look.
14:24You've had a fright.
14:25Hysteria won't solve anything.
14:27Now, control yourself.
14:28Look, I'm Dr. Samuels.
14:31My office is right across the street there.
14:34You've had a shock.
14:36If you would like my assistance, I'd be glad to offer it.
14:41Could I come with you now?
14:42Certainly.
14:43I'll take her over to my office.
14:45We'll see that she's all right.
15:01It was more than just not being able to hear anything.
15:06or make contact with anyone it was as though
15:12as though for a time i didn't exist
15:16as though i had no place in the world no part of the life around me and then you saw
15:25this this man
15:31yes you'll excuse my back but i wanted to get some of that written down
15:36i must have been talking for an hour anything else anything you haven't told me
15:42that's all there is that's the whole story he's been following me that's all there is to it
15:48it isn't that simple though is it what do you mean he could hardly have been in the park this
15:54afternoon or one of us men would have seen him and that made in a hallway you said yourself the
15:59landlady came up a minute later and she didn't see him did she what are you driving at it's been
16:05less than a week since you were in a car that crashed into the river how you got out of
16:09that
16:09no one seems to know but that experience must have been a serious emotional shock you think i
16:15imagined all of it don't you you think i'm insane i didn't say that i don't mean that i'm a
16:20competent
16:20person if anything i'm a realist i'm not given to imagining anything hogwash all of us imagine
16:28things have you never heard two men talking behind your back and imagine they were talking about you
16:35have you never imagined you saw someone you knew and walked up to them and found they were a perfect
16:39stranger i don't see what this has to do with it the point is this our imaginations play tricks on
16:45us
16:46they often misinterpret what we see and hear do you agree i suppose so if that can happen in
16:53ordinary times go a step further look what can happen in a high fever or following a serious
16:58emotional shock doesn't seem possible that i could have imagined all of it does this man this figure
17:06resemble anyone you've ever known an acquaintance or your father no you have a boyfriend here or back
17:11home no and i have no desire for one never no i'm surprised to find myself saying that
17:20but it's true i have no desire for the close company of other people have you always felt this way
17:30i i don't know don't you want to join in the things that other people do share the experiences
17:35of other people i don't think capable of being very close to people i i do feel that perhaps i
17:42am
17:42trying to reach out for those other things do you feel guilty wanting them i i don't understand you
17:49i'm not a psychiatrist and and perhaps i'm being clumsy at all this but i am suggesting that perhaps
17:55this figure represents a guilt feeling oh that's ridiculous maybe frankly i don't know
18:03well i know one thing my imagination is playing tricks on me i'm going to put a stop to it
18:10you're a
18:10very strong-willed person aren't you i survive if that's what you mean that old pavilion out by the lake
18:19somehow you associate it with all this don't you i could go out there i could put an end to
18:26that too
18:28i could go out now don't be hasty if it is all my imagination i could put a stop to
18:35it maybe but
18:36at least someone should be with you now i can't as you say doctor i'm a person of strong will
18:42and the time to go out there is now and if i have to i can go alone
19:02so
19:08so
19:09so
19:09so
