Mrs. Graham,

may I present a business associate, Mr. Banat?

How do you do, Mr. Banat.

Oh...and Mr. Graham, Mr. Banat.

I hate to take your husband away from you, Mrs. Graham.

That's quite all right. I'm quite used to it.

Besides, tonight I have company.

A charming gentleman. He flew with me from Istanbul.

Perhaps you've heard of him...Colonel Haki.

Mrs. Graham, I wonder if you would do your husband a great favor and come with me.

- Why...

It will only be a moment.

But I don't understand.

Please, it will all be explained later.

Won't you please go down to the lobby and hold Colonel Haki there for a moment?

Of course, Mr. Ridgely, if you put it that way.

- Thank you.

Come in, come in!

Is this Mr. Graham's room?

- Yes.

Is this Mr. Graham?

- Yes.

That stupid clerk here asked me if I wanted to speak to Mr. or Mrs. Graham...

That would mean that you are married?

Yes.

Do not be embarrassed, chri, we can still be friends.

- Well...

You think I'm angry, you don't believe me. I will prove it.

Gogo is on his way up to settle matters with you. But I will stop him.

No!...No, don't do that.

The best way.

Goodbye, Mr. Graham. All men are not sincere.

All through already?

Have you seen Colonel Haki anywhere?

Colonel Haki? I saw him just a moment ago.

A crazy man just shot at me!

They're crazy!

- That's terrible!

- What happened?

He says a man has fallen in the street.

A crazy man just shot at me!

Mr. Ridgely!

Professor Haller!

Graham! Look out!

"Stephanie, I can't understand why you're mad at me.

"That girl didn't mean a thing to me, really. Won't you please..."

Good evening!

- Oh, hello.

You're writing a letter?

I'm trying to finish one I started on the boat.

He says he's got a message for you from Stephanie.

- Oh?

Mrs. Graham.

- All right.

No speaky!

"Could you please forgive me.

"I love you more than anyone in the whole world..."

He says she's waiting for you upstairs!

Tell her to hold her horses!

"Your devoted husband..."

I wonder why do you always finish the letters you're going to tear up?

"Howard."

My compliments, Graham!

Banat is a dangerous man, you had no gun.

I got mad.

I spent too much time running away.
