In Name Only Page #8

No, no. I don't want to sleep.

I like it just the way it is.

If I sleep, I...

I'm afraid I'll miss...part of it.

KNOCK ON DOOR:

Hope I didn't disturb you.

What is it? It's about the bill.

It's two days now.

Your, eh, friend paid the

first day in advance,

but since he has

no luggage, the house rules are...

Just a moment, please.

Oh, I didn't mean you should pay.

I always hate to take money

from a woman,

especially one so, eh, good-looking.

Please. OK.

Afraid I haven't got the

change though.

Think you can trust me?

Just leave it at the desk.

You must get pretty lonesome up

here, don't you?

How about a little nightcap?

No, thank you.

He's married, isn't he?

Yes.

Are you an actress? No. Now, look...

Can't we be a little friendly?

I mean,

sometimes when you've got the blues,

as you probably have, it helps to

have a shoulder to cry on.

DOOR THUDS:

Get out. Now, don't excite yourself,

brother, I was just trying to...

Get out!

You'd think she

was your wife. Alec.

Oh, what a mess.

What an awful mess I got you into.

Alec, you've got to go back to bed.

I want you to get away from here,

Julie.

You don't have to stay here

and take things like that.

You're an awful fool to let

yourself in for it.

And I want you to get back in bed.

And I've got to get away too.

I want to get dressed.

Alec, please do as I tell you!

I've got to get out of here, Julie,

so that you'll get out.

Please, for my sake,

get back into bed.

Do it for me,

that's all I ask of you.

Then, if you want me to, I'll go.

It's time you did what's best for

yourself. Yes, I will, darling.

If you don't do it,

I'll do it for you. Yes, darling.

You shouldn't be here, Julie.

It's not good, your being here.

You've got things to do.

You've got to go to Paris.

You ought to be getting ready now,

and I'm keeping you from it.

I want you to go to Paris, Julie.

You and Ellen.

Ellen.

I want you to take Ellen

and go to Paris.

Get me Dr Hastings.

Oh. Well, then get me

Dr Edward Gateson.

He's in the book.

Tell him it's Mr Alec Walker.

And hurry. Please, hurry.

I can understand why you didn't want

to send for me, Miss Eden,

but you might have had some

thought for his condition.

The doctor didn't tell

me it was pneumonia.

They said it was only flu.

Well...

It's not too late.

He'll be all right, won't he?

I don't know.

It won't be necessary for

you to come.

I want to be with him.

I've called his family, Miss Eden.

Oh, please, let me go.

I'm sorry, there's been too much

time lost already.

SIREN WAILS:

MAN YAWNS:

What's the number of Mr Walker's

room, Mr Alec Walker?

Who's calling, please?

Miss Eden.

I'm sorry.

Dr Gateson left orders.

No visitors.

Mr Walker's room? I'm his father.

Has Dr Muller come in yet?

He's with Dr Gateson now.

Mr Walker.

Who's Dr Muller?

Consulting specialist.

Will he come down this way

on his way out?

Yes. May I wait for him?

Sure.

Sure, you can wait if you like.

But I don't know how long.

His mother was very upset over

his disappearance.

That's why I told her not

to come down

unless we thought it was

absolutely necessary.

But if we should find it

necessary...

Richard, this is Dr Muller.

Mr Walker. How do you do, Doctor?

How is he? Mr Walker, I always

believe in absolute honesty.

Your son is in a serious condition.

It's a bad case of pneumonia,

Richard.

What? What are his chances?

Physically...good, I should think.

I should say a little better than

a 50-50 chance.

Mentally...

by that I mean psychologically...

...not nearly so good.

What Dr Muller means, Richard,

is that Alec shows

no desire to get well. Exactly.

And it is our business to find

someone who should give him that

desire.

His mother is... I've explained to

Dr Muller about Grace.

His wife is on her way here now.

She should be here at any minute.

Good.

Is she the Julie

he keeps calling for?

Well, no... You see...

You see, Doctor,

it's rather a difficult situation.

Family complications.

Oh, I'm sorry to be blunt,

Mr Walker.

I'm not interested in family

complications.

As a physician, I'm interested only

in the patient's complications.

I don't say that this Julie

is our answer,

but she is the only clue with have.

Do you know where she can be

reached?

Well, I left her at that hotel.

She was downstairs when I came in.

I don't know if...

I see.

I imagine she will still be there.

Hello.

Yes, sir.

Miss.

They want you up in room 802.

YAWNING:
Oh, dear.

Come in, please.

Dr Muller, this is Miss Eden.

How do you do?

How is he, Doctor?

Our patient wants

to see you, Miss Eden.

I think all I need to tell you is

that his chances of recovery

depend upon your seeing him,

and upon what you say to him.

Dr Muller, you don't realise...

Oh, you don't need to worry.

We're not going to see each

other any more.

We both know it's hopeless.

Ah, does he think it is hopeless?

Then it is necessary that you get

rid of that thought for him.

You must tell him that

there is hope.

In fact, that there is certainty.

Tell him whatever you think

he wants to hear.

If you think he wants you to say

that you love him,

then say that you love him.

If you think he wants to hear that

an obstacle to that love

has been removed, then tell him that

it has been removed.

Tell him...

Well, I think you know what to tell

him better than I do.

Alec.

Alec, dear.

Can you hear me? It's Julie.

Julie?

Julie?

Go away, Julie.

Alec, darling,

everything is going to be all right.

Julie's all right.

Julie's gone to Paris.

You don't understand, darling.

This is Julie. Everything's going to

be all right for us.

Oh, do you hear me?

For you and me.

You're going away.

No, Alec, I... I don't have to.

I'm not going to Paris.

I've thought it all out and nothing

matters now except us.

She can do anything she likes,

but she can't keep us from

loving each other.

Only, you've got to get well.

Can you hear me?

You've got to get well.

You're only telling

me this because I'm sick.

Please, get well.

You've got to get well.

Tell him. Say something.

Alec...

Look, Alec, it's your father.

He'll tell you too.

Father?

Yes, son.

Is it all right?

Yes, son.

You wouldn't fool me, would you?

No, darling. And you will try, dear.

You will try to get well.

I'll get well.

Is that what you wanted?

I, eh...

I'm sorry it has to be this way.

Your house telephone, Mr Walker.

Your wife said she's coming

down anyway.

Oh. Where's Dr Gateson?

In his office. You can take the

stairs there. Room 706. Thank you.

802. The first door.

Thank you.

Wait.

Please, don't go in there.

How dare you!

Alec is very ill.

He may not live.

But if he does live,

it'll be because he believes

he'll never see you again.

And how did you manage that,

Miss Eden?

I've told him that you won't

fight us any more.

That we can be married.

What makes you think it's as

simple as that?

Oh, you needn't worry.

His father was there.
