Sudden Fear Page #5

Synopsis: Actor Lester Blaine has all but landed the lead in Myra Hudson's new play when Myra vetoes him because, to her, he doesn't look like a "romantic leading man." On a train from New York to San Francisco, Blaine sets out to prove Myra wrong...by romancing her. Is he sincere, or does he have a dark ulterior motive? The answer brings on a game of cat and mouse; but who's the cat and who's the mouse?

Go ahead, answer.

Hello?

Agree.

The owner.

Radio discomfort.

Lester must act tonight.

You run the risk of losing everything!

It could be an accident.

A little accident.

What kind of accident?

What kind?

Keep your voice down, will you?

What kind of accident?

Lester!

Do you remember this woman

who tried to kill himself in Fire Island?

Well?

I got him!

Do you remember?

What?

The trick with which

she tried to kill herself!

What does it get us?

I! I kept it!

You'll see.

- I put it?

- Yes.

A glass is a bit tight.

Junior, of course!

I did not know

you would be white.

I can change

it will be done quickly.

No, the white looks good on you.

Thank you.

Delicious, Martini.

I'll get the biscuits.

If we stay here? It's more fun

than playing bridge.

The bridge takes you mind

it protects you from unwelcome

and your monthly rounds.

Hopefully Myra play with me.

What do you say, partner?

Myra head elsewhere tonight.

Hello, my dear?

I'm sorry.

We expect in Ralston.

I'll get my coat.

There is a year in Ralston,

it was against seven spades.

Are you ready?

Myra!

Okay?

- I think so.

- Water, quickly.

- How did this happen?

- I tripped over my coat.

- You're pale as a ghost!

- I'm alive!

Come sit.

- My ankle.

- Which one? Let's see.

One.

Gently.

Taking away the shoe.

It is not pretty.

Call a physician.

No, it's not so bad.

Tomorrow, I will make a radio.

Here, drink this.

Oh, dear.

Thank you.

Try to stand up.

I advise against it.

If a little exercise.

You think so?

It's good for the circulation.

Well, Irene,

I'll try.

Lester, you wanna help me?

Course.

Useless to insist.

You should go to bed.

Yeah, you're probably right.

If you're resting a bit ...

No, it will not do anything.

It goes without saying,

go ahead without me.

With a husband like yours?

No way to leave you alone.

Go ahead. Tell Ralston

we are sorry.

I take your coat, Irene.

The sooner we leave,

faster you will be in bed.

Sorry, Myra.

I want to be dropped.

I'm clumsy!

If you only cared,

ice, no kettle.

I know

thank you, Steve.

I'll take care of it.

I'm sure Lester.

I put my scarf

before the mirror.

Excuse me.

- I will not spoil your party?

- Do you. Healed quickly.

Thank you, Junior.

1,000

Come find me

the garage just at midnight.

1,001

I insist, you should

bring a doctor.

1,002

Tell Eve I'm sorry.

I know she'll understand.

1,003

- She'll understand.

- Yes, of course.

1,004

I'll call you after dinner

to see how you go.

1,005

Good evening.

1,006

Hi ...

1,007

I hope

you get better soon, Myra.

1,008

Thank you, Irene.

1,009

Save yourself.

I wear Myra there ...

1,010

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye, Lester, Myra.

1,011

Sorry to spoil the evening.

1,012

But you do not like the bridge,

anyway.

1,013

Bring me an ice pack.

1,014

And a cigarette, please.

1,015

I'll see

in the bathroom.

1,016

There is none.

I go down.

1,017

Can you bring me my coat?

1,018

Agree.

1,019

Ice pack, coat.

And your shoes too.

1,020

A book, perhaps?

If I was reading?

1,021

Yes ...

1,022

I would like ...

1,023

I'd love that.

1,024

something new

1,036

"The protection afforded oblivion.

1,037

"Let the peace

Closing serve him.

1,038

"Do not deprive him of his darkness.

1,039

"Let him take shape

let it grow.

1,040

to anyone. "
