The Night Walker Page #3

---

But it was after 12

when I went to bed.

When I'm with you,

time stands still.

Put on your shoes.

Where are we going?

You'll see.

Oh, come along.

The champagne is waiting.

- Champagne?

- Of course.

This is our night, darling.

I wish you'd tell me

where're we going.

Ah, I'll do better than that.

I'll show you.

Here we are.

Please tell me

where you're taking me.

Don't you remember?

You've been here before,

many times.

Wait.

What are you doing?

- Lighting the candles.

- Don't.

The champagne and candle light

always go together.

No, no.

You afraid of fire?

- I'm sorry.

- It's alright.

Now, let's not talk about it.

All that matters

is that we're together.

If only I could be sure.

Sure of what?

- I don't know what to believe.

- Oh, darling.

Did you believe that?

Time for champagne.

What are we celebrating?

Well, that's a big surprise.

Drink up.

Where are we going?

Someplace.

Somewhere.

Take me back,

please, take me back.

It's too late.

We can't turn back now.

Where are we?

Someplace

you'll never forget.

What is this place?

A chapel.

- There must be a wedding.

- Yes.

- Let's go back.

- We can't.

They're all waiting.

Who is being married?

We are.

- But we can't be married.

- Of course, we can.

You and I can do anything

we like.

And those people?

Well, every wedding

must have witnesses, darling.

You see...

I even have your wedding ring.

Come.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here

to unite this man and this woman

in the bonds of holy matrimony.

This is a solemn moment,

a moment in which two lives

become one.

We have gathered here

to celebrate

one of life's highest moments.

This is indeed a joyful occasion

when two people become as one.

And we all rejoice with you.

Remember this moment.

Treasure it

for all of its beauty.

Through the years,

it will become a happy memory.

And now it is time

to proceed with the ceremony.

We joined you both

in the joys of matrimony.

Do you have the ring?

The witnesses are assembled.

Do you take this women

to be your lawful wedded wife?

I do.

Do you, Irene Trent,

take this man to be

your lawful wedded husband.

I now pronounce you.

man and wife.

Let me out, let me out.

Let me out.

Oh. Oh God!

No!

No!

No!

No!

They're all waiting, darling.

We're getting married.

You and I can do anything

we like.

You see, darling, I even brought

your wedding ring.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here

to unite this man

and this woman

in the bonds of holy matrimony.

This is indeed

a joyful occasion

when two people become as one,

and we all rejoice with you.

And now, it is time

to proceed with the ceremony.

The witnesses are assembled.

Do you take this woman

to be your lawful wedded wife?

I do.

No!

No!

Do you, Irene Trent,

take this man

to be your lawful

wedded husband?

No!

No!

No.

No.

No, nah.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Irene, wake up.

Better hurry, it's past nine.

When I am with you,

time stands still.

Hurry up, darling,

this is our night.

This is our night.

This is our night.

- This is our night.

- I can't wake up.

- This is our night.

- I can't wake up.

- This is our night.

- I can't wake up.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Is there something

I can do for you?

Yes, is Mrs. Trent here?

I'll see.

Oh, Joyce.

On the way, start to build.

There's somebody here

for Mrs. Trent.

I'll see if she's in.

- May I have your name?

- Barry Morland.

Now, don't you go away, dear.

What do you want?

I came to apologize.

Well, I owe you one, too.

Come in, Barry.

- Coffee?

- Thanks, black please.

Have a rough night?

Another nightmare.

Barry, I need your help.

What do you want me to do?

Help me to find out

if my dream is real.

It may not be easy,

do you have any clues?

Well, I know

this sounds crazy, but...

after I left you last night,

the young man was here.

He took me to an apartment.

You didn't by any chance

dream the address?

No.

But I think I can remember

where we went.

We drove past the girl standing

on a huge silver dollar.

As she was going around...

and around...

and around.

That's it.

This is where he turned off,

up the street.

Irene, are you sure?

The apartment

is on the third floor.

There was a long corridor

just like this.

And the light fixtures...

and the little black candles.

And the number...

Uh, if I can remember correctly,

it was three four...

one.

Now I know it wasn't a dream.

Or was it?

There were paintings

on the wall last night, and...

The-- the furniture

wasn't covered.

It all looks so different,

so unlived in.

Of course, what did you expect?

But the apartment is real,

I didn't dream it.

No.

Irene,

didn't you know that Howard

owned this apartment building?

Yes, number 341

was always vacant.

Mr. Trent kept it that way.

Now you ought to know that,

Mr. Morland.

I always send rent checks

to your office every month.

That's right.

You're quite sure you've

never met this lady before?

Never had the pleasure.

But surely, you remember

the young man I told you about.

Sorry, I'm afraid not.

When I see a man,

I remember him.

Don't I, sweetie?

What did you say his name was?

Never mind.

Irene, did anyone see you

with this man last night?

No, no they were

all wax figures.

Wax figures?

What are you talking about?

The-- the place

where we were married.

Married?

Sounds like you were

dreaming, honey.

You say you were married,

what was the man's name?

I don't know.

Well, his name would be

on the marriage license,

surely you have a license.

I never saw the license,

my husband must have it.

You know I have dreams too,

almost every night.

This tall handsome man

takes me in his arms,

and we dance

to the most beautiful music.

And when I wake up

in the morning,

my feet hurt.

Wait a minute,

I think I remember something.

The wedding...

It was in a strange

sort of chapel.

And after it was over...

the young man disappeared,

I-- I tried to get out.

And suddenly Howard appeared.

My cousin used to have

the most horrible nightmares.

She'd wake up screaming.

It got so bad

they had to take her way.

Poor Claira,

she was still screaming.

I suppose,

you think I am like poor Claira.

Perhaps you'd better take me

away before I start screaming.

- Thanks for the information.

- Oh!

No trouble at all, huh.

Take it easy, Irene,

there just has to be an answer

- to all of this.

- But, what? What answer?

Well, you say

you went to a chapel

after you left here last night.

Do you remember, where it was?

After I drank the champagne,

I felt dazed as...

Well, so I had been drunk.

But I somehow have the feeling

that it wasn't

very far from here.

- Do you remember going in a car?

- Um-hum.

I suppose

we'll just drive around slowly.

Try and find a nightmare,

in the day time?

See anything familiar?

I positively came this way.

Turn here,

I think I see something.

I'm certain this is the place.

Alright, let's take a look.

Lady, you can't go in there.
