And that's why I busted on
your lecture, so I could meet you...
What else do you do?
Come on, you can trust me.
Well...
...sometimes...
...I do get the feeling when
the phone's gonna ring.
Or when someone' s
gonna drop in.
So I wait.
And sometimes I can tell
when people
so I'll go to see them.
I mean, you know, if I like them.
And
that's about all.
No.
That's all. That's all.
I make flowers grow.
- You make flowers grow?
- Fast. I mean, fast.
And how do you do that?
I don't know.
Doctor, about these cigarettes...
Well, why don't you
just make them disappear.
I don't blame you.
I know it sounds...
It sounds so silly.
Well, never mind, doctor.
I'm really sorry I bothered you.
Thanks anyway.
Oh, answer your phone.
Yes?
Yes, Dr Chabot speaking.
Yes, Conrad. I'm coming.
Order me a...
Double whiskey.
And you thought she saw it
sticking out of the dictionary
on the other side of the room.
Remarkable, isn't it?
- And you think it was a trick?
- She couldn't have guessed it.
Marc, I know as a psychiatrist
I could have my couch taken away
from me for this, but you don't think
by any chance this could be a case
of extrasensory perception, ESP?
All right.
Find the girl, hypnotize her
and prove to yourself
whether or not it was a trick.
You're against scientific research?
How can ESP be called a science
when there is no scientific proof
- that ESP exists?
- What do you mean, exists?
Two people have
the same thought at the same time.
It's happened millions of times.
It exists,
but psychiatry calls it coincidence.
- That's what it is.
- Many people are not so certain,
- and for a very good scientific reason.
- Rubbish.
Pure, unadulterated rubbish.
Violet. Lily. Rose.
Mrs Hatch?
This is my address
for that lunch tomorrow.
- You can type it now.
- Oh, doctor, there's a...
When you've finished, telephone
every student in my 11:00 class
until you find someone who
remembers the name of the girl
I hypnotized by mistake
this morning and...
Oh, you mean Daisy Gamble?
Will you please tell me
how you knew that?
Well, she told me.
She's in the waiting room.
- Miss Gamble?
- Oh, hello, doctor.
Hello. This way, please.
- No calls, Mrs Hatch.
- I'll go to work on your address.
Did you lose another one?
No. Follow me.
- Now, Miss Gamble...
- I'll make it quick.
Do you know the name of a good
hypnotist I can go and talk to
and see if he could help me lay off
these cigarettes
before tomorrow night, or else
Warren won't get that job, see?
Then I won't bother you any more.
Do you understand? Understand.
You don't even know who Warren is.
Oh, he's my fianc.
Go on.
- Go on?
- Yes.
Well, you see, over here, you know,
in the United States, they have
these big companies that send out
these personnel directors
the bright students and their wives.
Well, Warren...
Remember? He's my fianc.
He's graduating in the top 2 percent
of the business school
and Chemical Foods, Inc.,
wanna give him a lifetime contract,
see, and I can ruin it. I mean,
you know, if they don't like me.
I mean, that's that.
And they're not gonna like me.
Because Warren told me, you know,
that they don't like addicts,
and I'm an addict.
And I'm an addicted addict.
I can't stop
unless somebody
like you can make me.
Is that possible?
It's possible, provided it's not
a symptom of neurosis, or...
No, no, I'm normal. I swear.
I'm just an addict, that's all.
Last year I took some of these
vocational-guidance tests, you know,
not for a job, but for Warren
to get to know me better,
and you know the results?
What?
Healthy, adjusted
and no character.
I mean, no character of any kind.
I mean, not even any characteristics.
You see, tomorrow night,
I've gotta have dinner with Warren
and one
So, what do I do about
these rotten, miserable...?
Do you want one?
No, no, thank you.
How old are you, Miss Gamble?
Twenty-two.
And how old were you
when you started smoking?
Twelve. See, I had
this cousin, Harvey,
who came to visit us,
and he was smoking.
You know, he dared me to try.
Well, he was only 9,
what could I do?
Of course.
Miss Gamble,
I will try to help you today.
But from tomorrow on,
you'll have to go to someone else.
And if you call me tomorrow, I'll give
you the name of another doctor.
Sit here, please.
- You mean now?
- Yes, now.
Oh, doctor. I don't know how I can
ever thank you. I mean, really, that is...
- I didn't expect, you know...
- Never mind that, just sit down.
Good.
Please.
That's it.
Just relax now.
Relax.
Now, Miss Gamble, I want you to try,
if you can, to imagine that you see...
I see it.
- What?
- A window.
That's right, a window.
Now, keep staring at that window
until slowly, very slowly,
the window begins...
It's open.
That's right.
And now the dark of night is...
Oh, well, you know the rest, go on.
- Can you hear me, Miss Gamble?
- Yes.
Miss Gamble, if you truly wish
to stop smoking,
I would like you
to raise your left hand.
Drop your hand.
When I awaken you, you will find
that your desire for cigarettes
will grow less and less,
and when you want a cigarette,
your ability to resist it will grow
stronger and stronger.
- Do you understand, Miss Gamble?
- Yes.
Good.
Now, open your eyes.
Miss Gamble, this morning
you were kind enough
to help me find an address I'd lost.
- Do you remember?
- Yes.
It was quite a trick.
Do you know how you did it?
Yes.
I thought so. How?
Well,
I saw you looking around
for something
and I wondered what it was.
And all of a sudden I knew.
- You knew what?
- Where it was.
- That's all?
- That's all.
I see.
- Do you really?
- Of course, a child can understand it.
Who taught it to you?
I don't know. I suppose I got it
from Winnie Wainwhisle.
Who is she?
- Nobody.
- Nobody?
I mean, nobody anymore.
She's dead.
But before she died
she taught it to you.
- No.
- No?
No.
- But you said you got it from her.
- Yeah.
Can you remember an incident
when you saw Winnie Wainwhisle
perform the same trick?
Oh, sure, lots of them.
- Just one.
- Okay.
Where did it happen?
In London.
- You know, in England?
- London?
- What were you doing in London?
- I was with Winnie Wainwhisle.
Was it lately?
Well, was it before you were 15?
Before you were 10?
- Yeah.
- Before you were 5?
- What was it she found?
- A gold locket.
I see.
- It was the one my husband gave me.
- Oh, really.
And how old was your little husband?
Three and a half? Four?
No. He was...
Let's see, 59. Yeah, that's right.
Because he was exactly
- What?
- Than me?
Thirty-five years older?
Well, I know it's a lot, but he was rich
and he had a title, so, what the hell.
That would make you 24.
How did you get to be 24?
Well, after 23.
But that makes you two years older
than when you sat down.
