And now the window opens.
It gently, gently opens,

and the night steals softly in.

Your eyelids now are heavy.

Your arms are numb and heavy.

Your legs are dull and heavy

and you give yourself to sleep.

A deep sleep.

He's under. Lights, please.

I'll begin with
post-hypnotic suggestion,

and after, if Preston here is
a good subject, regression.

- When does this class meet again?
- On Wednesday, sir.

On Wednesday.

Mr Preston, after I waken you,
the first time I say the word

"Wednesday," you will
take off your left

shoe and sock and
put them on again.

Remember, the first time I
say the word "Wednesday."

Now for regression.

I will try and take Preston back
through his life to the age of 5.

Stand up and turn around, please.

I want you to go back in
time to your 20th birthday.

- Dr Chabot.
- No questions now.

Now, five years more
to your 15th birthday.

Now, five years more to your 10th.

Now, another five
years, and when I

count to three and
snap my fingers,

you will be 5 years old.

Five years old, at your
first day of school.

One,

two...

Give me back my chalk, Henry.
Come on, Henry Tillsbury.

You give me back my chalk, or
I'll throw the glue at you

and you'll get all gooey.

- Sit down, Preston.
- Oh, Henry, I am not sitting

- on your turtle. Honest.
- What's her name?

Miss Hildebrand, you gotta make...

Doesn't anybody know who she is?

Sleep.

To be hypnotised
indirectly is very common,

but to be regressed indirectly
is not only unusual

but a little nerve-wracking.

Listen to me. You are
no longer 5 years old.

You are as you are today.

And when I count to three
and snap my fingers,

you will awaken feeling fine.

One, two, three.

How do you feel?

Fine.

What happened? I mean,
how did I get over here?

You were hypnotised by mistake.

- Your mistake or mine?
- I suppose it was a bit of both.

I opened the window,
but you fell out.

- What's your name?
- Daisy Gamble.

You're not a medical
student, are you?

No.

Did everybody, I mean,
you know, fall out?

No. No, just you.

Just me?

I'm awfully sorry, doctor.

I didn't mean to butt in, I... Oh,
I'm awfully sorry, everybody.

I mean, I didn't mean to butt in.
Please, go on with your act.

It won't happen to me again.

Boy, you can swing open
that window all you want,

and when the night starts crawling
in, my eyelids won't get heavy

and my arms get numb and heavy and
my legs get dull and heavy and...

When I count to three and
press your forehead,

you will awaken and stay awake.

- One, two, three.
- Oh, God.

Why don't you step outside
and get a little air.

Sure. I mean, sure. Have you
got a cigarette, please?

I'm awfully sorry, doctor.
Really. Do you have a match?

Oh, thank you very...

Doctor, I'm awfully
sorry, kids, really.

Push.

Sorry.

Preston, you are no
longer 5, 10, 15 or 20.

You are as you are now.

And when I count to three and
snap my fingers, you will awaken.

One, two, three.

Do you feel all right?

- Yes, sir.
- What is it?

Sir, nothing happened to
me. I didn't go under.

Most people don't believe
they do the first time.

- Well, I know that, sir...
- But that is not your case.

Oh, no, sir. No. Is that all?

On Wednesday, when we meet
again, I want to discuss...

- What are you doing there?
- Taking off my shoe and...

sock.

Any particular reason,
or just bored?

See you all Wednesday.

Out like a light.

If you don't remember,
he was telling you

to take off your shoes and socks.

Oh, Marc, did you
receive one of these?

Oh, just routine meeting,
nothing important.

Doctor, could I see you for
just one minute, please?

- Don't you feel well?
- Yeah, sure, sure.

But I gotta talk to you
about something important.

If you call my secretary...
I'll see you this afternoon.

She'll make an appointment.

But it's just one
question, that's all.

Couldn't you ask me at
a Wednesday lecture?

If you come a little early,
I'm sure it's possible...

Oh, my God.

Come in. Come here, hey.

Come, come. This way,
please. This way.

Come in. Here. Yes.
Come in, come in.

This way, this way, please.

Here, come in.

You're doing that on
post-hypnotic suggestion.

Oh, no.

Turn around.

I'm terribly sorry.

Is anything else coming off?

- Of course not. Here, your shoe.
- You're sure?

That's quite a weapon
you have got there.

Boy, you fellas must have one
glorious night after another.

I mean...

What's the matter?

- This just isn't my day.
- Come. Come sit down.

You'll feel better in a moment.

Sit down.

- Oh, God.
- Now, what did...?

Oh, rats.

Thank you.

Oh, God. Don't you
hate cigarettes?

Now, what did you want to ask me?

What I wanted to ask you was this:

Doctor, do you think...?

I mean, can people really be
hypnotised out of something?

I mean, of something like smoking.

It's stuck in the
dictionary. I mean,

can you see how yellow
my fingers are?

I beg your pardon?

Aren't you looking for a piece
of paper with an address on it?

- Yes.
- Don't you have a dictionary?

Well, yes.

Well, just see if it's in there.

You see, the other
night I heard this

discussion going
on in the bathtub,

on the radio, and this man said...

It's under X.

He said you could be
hypnotised out of it

without getting something
else instead, you know,

like fat or nervous or acne.

- Miss...
- Gamble.

What about this address?

Isn't that the one
you're looking for?

Yes, but how did you do it?

I don't know. I just saw you
looking around for something

and wondered what it was and...

You know, I knew.

Very well, I won't pry
into trade secrets.

Yeah. About this
yellow-finger problem...

Can you do any other tricks?

No. You see, I only have until

tomorrow night, and
I was desperate.

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

are thinking about me,
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 extra-sensory perception, ESP?

All right.

Find the girl, hypnotise
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 hypnotised 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 fiancé.

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

to these colleges to sign up the
bright students and their wives.

Well, Warren... Remember?
He's my fiancé.

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 of these
personnel directors.

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
35 years older than I.

- 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.

Miss Gamble, how can you go back
to a time before you were 5

and say you are 24? Explain
that to me further.

Miss Gamble.

Yes?

What year are you remembering?

1814.

Now, listen carefully. You're

saying that you
were alive in 1814.

Very well. I want you to tell me
everything you can about yourself,

beginning with your name.

You do remember your name?

My name?

Gee, I don't know
if I can do that.

I mean, boy, that's tough.

- I'm Daisy Gamble.
- Take your time.

Maybe I was called
something else once...

but the only name I...

I mean, my name has always...

My name is...

My name is Melinda.

Melinda Winifred Waine Tentrees.

And I am appalled and stunned
at this outrageous inquisition.

- Inquisition, Lady Tentrees?
- From the day this trial began,

you have been coiled like
a cobra ready to strike.

Trying to make me crawl
and cower and cringe

and admit to your monstrous lies.

But you shall not succeed.

I shall speak only the truth.

I hope so.

Now you say your name
is Melinda Tentrees?

Would you tell the court
what knowledge you have

of the tragic voyage of
the frigate Westerly.

I know nothing about
that unfortunate

vessel except that it sailed.

Yet you advised your husband
not to insure the Westerly.

How did you know it
would never return?

You have asked me that question

again and again. I have
answered it again and again.

The Caroline sailed two
days after the Westerly,

also never to return,

insurance also rejected by Pelham
of London, upon your advice.

How did you know it
would never return?

I do not know.

I do not know.

You don't know if your
name is Melinda Tentrees?

Of course I know my name is
Melinda Tentrees, dunce.

And I also know my
husband's name and

how old we are and where we live,

the street, the
number and the city.

I have a breathtaking
grasp of things.

How long have you been married?

Robert and I have been
married for three

tumultuous, passionate,
Scheherazadian years.

Your husband must be
remarkable for his age.

He's remarkable for any age.

- But still, at 59.
- Fifty-nine? Ass.

That was my first
husband. Robert is 31.

What was your first
husband's name?

Lord Percy Moorepark.

Poor, fumbling, old, rich thing.

But you heard a witness testify to

having seen you on
the London docks

on the night of November
14th, consorting in secret

with a known enemy of the crown.

- He lies.
- Wait, wait, wait.

I'm so glad you
interrupted. I cannot

bear this trial another minute.

- What are you on trial for?
- Oh, please.

Very well, never mind.

You were going to tell
me about an incident

when Winnie Wainwhisle
finds something for you.

Yes.

It was the day I first met Robert.

What a glorious day it was.

- Where are you?
- Where we met.

At the Royal Pavilion at
Brighton three years ago.

Percy. Percy, put on
your spectacles at once.

Hurry.

Now look directly across the lawn.

Do you see Diana Smallwood?

- Unmistakably Diana Smallwood.
- Who is that with her?

Robert Tentrees.

- What does he do?
- As little as possible.

Joseph Pelham was complaining
about him the other day.

He knows Tentrees' father and
gave the boy a position.

Maritime insurance. You
know, old ships at sea.

- Is he married?
- No.

But he should have
been, many times.

And he will be soon.

I can't wait to hear
how you arrange that.

Gentlemen. His Highness.

Chef, my good fellow.

Your Royal Highness.

Never in history
have taste buds been

so delectably treated
as they were tonight

with your extraordinary
salmon mousse.

Served with cream and
vin rouge sauce.

Garnished with truffles
and exotic herbs.

You seem to know this
woman. Who is she?

Winnie Wainwhisle.

Do you have a name for this, if
I may be allowed a Gallic pun,

this chef-d'oeuvre?

Yes, with pleasure. Come this way.

I humbly christen it
Salmon Beurre Brigette.

- To my chef.
- To the chef.

- Melinda.
- Mum.

- Is that your mother?
- Yes.

How are you, Melinda?

Mum, did you ever hear
of Robert Tentrees?

Robert Tentrees? He's
not your kind, Melinda.

Hasn't got a halfpenny
to his name.

- Here, I got something for you.
- What?

- Your locket.
- Where'd you find it?

Under the ambassador's
night table.

- Well, that's a bit of luck.
- What about this Robert Tentrees?

- Is he here tonight?
- Mum.

Mum, he's here, and
I met him. And I

love him and I'm gonna marry him.

- Marry him?
- But you've got a husband.

I'll divorce him.

And don't you worry about
us not having any money.

In two years' time,

I'll make Robert Tentrees one
of the richest men in England.

That good-for-nothing.
How in the world

do you expect to make
the likes of...?

No.

No, Melinda. Don't misuse
your talents. Please.

Or God knows in how many lifetimes
you'll be paying for it.

What talents? What is
she talking about?

Well.

- There you are, milady.

Here.

Oh, Percy.

Percy, I knew you'd leave your
spectacles at home. Here.

Here is your other pair.

Oh, thank you very much.

And is it not true,
Lady Moorepark,

that in the pursuit
of illicit passion,

you and Robert Tentrees
met regularly?

Yes. We met frequently, in secret.

Lady Tentrees, I suggest that you

have committed perjury
to this court

and that you have consorted
with those involved

in the treasonous plot
against king and country

to destroy 38 British
ships at sea.

No. You are trying to make
a criminal out of me.

What? One moment, now.

You admit to these indiscretions?

I am under oath.

I cannot lie. Yes.

Not one written message.

I am under oath. I cannot lie.

- No.
- Wait a moment, now.

I beg you to consider that
she has cheated her...

- Confess a lie.
- Treason...

- Never...
- Stop.

Oh, thank you. I'm exhausted.

- So am I.
- I can't go on with this.

I can't.

I just can't.

Neither can I. No more questions.

You may sleep until
I count to three.

Then you will awaken
completely refreshed

and you'll remember nothing.

Except to smoke less. Now, sleep.

- Mrs Hatch.
- Yes, doctor?

I've recorded this session.

After I leave, would you make
three copies of it, please.

And send one to Dr Conrad Fuller.

One, two, three.

How do you feel?

Fine. How'd I do?

Beyond my wildest expectations.

Do you think I'll smoke
less tomorrow night?

I mean, you know, more normal?

Yes, I think so.

Oh, Dr Chabot,

if there's anything I
can ever do for you,

I mean, really, just,
you know, anything.

Pronounce my name "Chabot."

Isn't it C-H-A-B-O-T?

Yes, Chabot.

Oh, well, anything you say.

Thank you.

Well.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

The...

Thank you.

Tad.

Tad.

- Hi.
- Well, well. How are you?

- What are you doing here?
- Well, you know.

Same old thing.

Looking for myself.

Yeah, but what are you doing here?

Well, I thought I might
take a course in anatomy.

Maybe I'll find out how you do
all those wonderful things.

No. Oh, for Pete's sake, don't say
anything about that around here.

I mean, will you? I
mean, for Pete's sake.

Why? It's not un-American.

I mean, you've got some kind
of psychic power, that's all.

- I think it's beautiful.
- Yeah, to you, maybe.

That's because you're a nut.

Daisy, a lot of
people are psychic.

Fine. I'm sure they're
all very nice,

but that is not the group
I'd like to be known as in.

I mean, if Warren ever found
out, he'd never forgive me.

He thinks I'm, you know, normal.

Normal? Nobody even
knows what normal is.

Warren does.

I did write to you

about Warren and me, didn't I?

What are you looking at?

I think you're sexier.

You think sexier? I thought you

were noticing that
I'm not smoking.

- Oh, here, excuse me...
- No, no, no. I'm trying to quit.

Where are they? No, no, thanks.

Darn.

Two hours and seven
minutes without a weed.

I gotta tell the doctor.

Doctor? What doctor?

I went to this doctor, you
know, to help me stop smoking.

You went to a doctor
for that? Why?

Because five packs a
day is just un-normal.

- Oh, Warren.
- Yeah.

That's him. The one in the
chair. Isn't he dynamic?

Hey, you wanna see
the job I'm really

interested in? I mean,
this is terrific.

They've got the finest
retirement plan I've ever seen,

and the pension starts 15
years before retirement.

- Fifteen years?
- Can you imagine?

You see, compensation
when you're sick doubles.

They pay for any operation,
including surgery,

and in the event of
mental breakdown,

they pick up the tab
for the sanatorium

for you or your wife, in
the event that she passes.

Boy, when I stop to
think I almost settled

for that job in Paris, I could...

What the hell is she growing
here, Yosemite National Park?

I don't know how she does it.

I planted mine the very same day.

Where are yours?

There.

Oh, boy, this is embarrassing.
She's gotta cut that out.

I'm so worried about
my nicotine stains.

Daisy, Daisy, I've
gotta talk to you.

Warren, this is Tad Pringle.

Hi, fella. Daisy, I've
gotta talk to you...

He used to be my brother.

Really? Your what?

Well, not actually. I mean, his

father was married
to my mother once.

Eight years ago. Daisy and I were
very happy. Our parents weren't.

The judge stopped the
fight in the third year.

That's very interesting.
Daisy... You'll... Daisy.

Daisy, I've gotta talk to
you about tomorrow night.

Now, how do you feel? You nervous?

- Well, I...
- Swell. Just a couple of points

to integrate into the image. Now,
tomorrow night, before dinner,

no whiskey and no Martinis.

Sherry. It's more
feminine. Got it?

Sherry? But I throw up when I...

Swell. Remember about the dress?
Not too low and not too high.

You see, Unkstadder's
wife is coming.

And if she catches him looking up

anything or down
anything, that's it.

So tomorrow night, you're a boy.

Oh, and, Daisy, for God's
sake, no opinions.

I mean, talk all you want if you
need anything, but no opinions.

See, they don't like
women to have opinions.

In fact, they don't really like

women. They like
wives and mothers.

Let me see your fingers. Come
on, Daisy. Let me see...

Can't you get that nicotine off?

From the knuckles down, you
look like Ho Chi Minh.

Warren, don't worry. You'll
never guess what I...

Come here, Daisy, I
want you to see this.

This is our whole future.
Security unlimited.

Just a few years' work and we can
relax for the rest of our lives.

Yes? Oh, hello, Conrad.

Did you read the transcript?

What you think?

It's amazing, isn't it?

The names? Well, like
all these cases,

she must have gotten them from
friends or books or movies.

Look them up?

In what?

Books about England.

Conrad, if you're
implying that this

could be a case of reincarnation,

you are sicker than she is.

No, no, I can't see her anymore. I

have no time for
all that nonsense.

See you tomorrow.

And from now on, you will find the
third puff of every cigarette

will have a bitter, bitter taste.

Remember, the third puff.

Open your eyes.

Now, Miss Gamble,

yesterday you claimed to
recall a previous life

when your name was Melinda
Waine Moorepark Tentrees.

There's a Winifred in there.

Yes, I know. Now, where did
you get the name Melinda?

From my aunt.

She was the fattest
woman in London.

- In London?
- Yeah.

They used to say that
the duke of Westminster

owned everything in London
except one acre, my aunt.

That's very funny.

Then you definitely
have been to London?

Oh, yeah.

How many times?

- Once.
- For how long?

Twenty-eight years.

Twenty-eight years?

How old were you when you left?

Twenty-eight years.

Are you saying that you
left because you...

died?

Yeah.

What's the matter?

I just hated to die at 28.

I just hope I don't
have to do it again.

It's better than 22.

But tell me, how
did you ever climb

from the kitchen maid's
daughter to Lady Moorepark?

How?

Because of a lesson I
learned at the orphanage

where my impoverished mother
placed me as a child.

Where was your father?

Don't be rude.

Our postman, Mr Pimpleton.

And this is Mrs
Brickstone himself.

I scrubbed, oh.

And scrubbed, oh.

And scrubbed, oh.

And I ate.

For recreation, I
plotted my escape.

I knew the exact location
of the hitching post

on the other side of the wall.

And I had practised with this
rope for almost two years.

Up and up I went toward freedom.

My new quarters.

I looked around and
thought, "Oh, dear."

Thirty days in this dungeon
with nothing to do.

I found something to do.

Every night, I heard voices on
the other side of the wall,

which aroused my curiosity.

Cor blimey, a secret room.

Just the sort of place you expect
to find a buried treasure.

And what did I find?
A buried treasure.

Next to the name of every
child in the school

was the name of the
real, unknown father.

Except mine, of course.

It was lord this and the duke of
that and the earl of whatnot.

And as I turned the pages,

suddenly, through the dank
mustiness of the room,

I realised that I had in my hands

the sort of stuff

that sent the flower
of English manhood

out into the world
to create an empire

and might very well create
a little empire for me.

My letters were simple and honest:

"Dear lord so-and-so,
if you do not

wish your child to
know who you are,

please send 1 pound a month.

Sincerely..."

He sent 1, and he sent 1.

And so did lots of others.

In fact, business was marvellous.

Until one day,

a nasty, dishonest child
stole my letters.

To my joy and happiness,

I was expelled.

When I saw the glow those
pound notes brought

to my dear mother's eyes,

I made a firm resolution.

"Melinda," I said,

"let this be a lesson to you.

Never, never do anything
except for money."

But what about Robert Tentrees?

He had no money and you
married him, didn't you?

True, he had not a
penny to his name.

But love is the exception
to every rule, is it not?

You're crying.

Why?

I should have known that one
day he would desert me.

Desert you?

He was too weak to be faithful.

Why didn't I see that?

Is love so blind?

No.

But mistrust is so exhausting.

It's not easy to be a
strong woman, Melinda.

A man must be strong for
you to respect him,

but weak for you to love him.

And love makes the choice.

That's very clever of you.

Very clever.

Who are you, exactly?

I could ask the same of you.

But you seem to know me
better than I know myself.

That's because I may
have invented you.

Now, what does that mean?

Or don't you know either?

Oh, dear.

I'm suddenly a little...

A little...

Oh, boy, am I beat.

You must be.

What's the matter with me?

There was never Melinda.

Robert never existed.

How could someone
who never existed

desert someone who never lived?

And when I heard it,

why did it make me so sad?

No.

None of this is true.
None of it happened.

It's nothing but shadows and
echoes of things that never were.

If I'm not on guard
every moment, you

steal across the
border into reality.

There have been thousands
of cases like yours.

And every one, without exception,

has been traced to something
in the person's life.

This life.

Daisy Gamble, somewhere in
some closet of your mind

is the key to all this.
And I intend to find it.

If I have to squeeze
out of you every

moment of your whole
boring little life.

So en garde.

One, two, three.

Hi.

How do you feel?

Fine. Did I do all right?

I think so.

How was the smoking
last night and today?

Oh, much better. If the phone
hadn't rung this morning,

I wouldn't have smoked
until breakfast.

Do you always smoke
on the telephone?

Well, you've got to. I
mean, you just got to.

I mean, you got this hand
left over doing nothing.

Of course, I usually
hear it before

it rings and light
up ahead of time.

Of course.

Where are you meeting Warren?

At the Americana.

Can I give you a lift?

- Oh, thanks.
- Good.

You know?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You sure I'm not gonna
take you out of your way?

No, you're not. Not at all. I'm
going to the Metropolitan Museum.

It's open tonight and
there's an exhibition

of English painters
that I want to see.

Oh, that's nice.

England's had some
very good painters.

I don't know much about it,
really. I mean, anything.

Don't you like painting?

I don't know. I've gotten
so used to wallpaper.

But it's still much easier driving
over here than in England.

In England, they
drive on the left.

Boy, those English sure
have a lot of guts.

No, it's the law.

Haven't you ever been to England?

Oh, no.

The sea makes me seasick
and I'm afraid of flying.

I mean, not really flying, I'm
afraid of the "no smoking" sign.

- But maybe I can do it now, huh?
- I'm sure.

Wouldn't you like a quick
drink? You have time.

Oh, no, no. Thank you.
I don't think so.

I'm supposed to be at
the Americana at...

- A short one.
- Fine.

And what are you studying?

Well, let's see.

Oh, I'm taking domestic science
at Laura Bates Greeley

and budget-making
at Mary Hope Curtis

and child care at the Sarah
Plaut Gromberg Clinic,

you know, here at
the medical school.

And 20 lectures on planned
parenthood, ten on how to

and ten on how not to.

What size family do you come from?

Well, my father's pretty fat,
but the rest of us is...

Oh, you mean how many
brothers and sisters.

None.

I had this great stepbrother for a

while, but it didn't
last very long.

I mean, there was, you know,
trouble in the front office.

You lived with your mother?

Yeah. In Mahwah, New Jersey.

- Where?
- Mahwah. M-A-H-W-A-H.

That's where... That's
where she lives.

- Fascinating.
- It is?

Another drink?

Oh, no, no, no. Thank you, really.

- I've gotta run.
- A short one.

Oh, fine.

- Muriel, have you seen Daisy?
- I thought she was with you.

Oh, I goofed.
Chemical Foods called

this afternoon and postponed

and I forgot to call and tell her.

- Warren.
- Daisy, Daisy, I'm sorry.

It was called off and
I forgot to tell you.

- Did you wait too long?
- Oh, no.

- But you got something to eat?
- Yeah.

- Will you forgive me?
- Sure.

- Thattagirl.
- I forgot too.

- What?
- I didn't go,

you know, to the
Americana. I forgot too.

- You didn't go?
- No.

Isn't that a funny coincidence?

Yes, it certainly is. It's
amazing. You didn't go either.

You... Didn't you really?

No, I didn't. And I'm not just
saying that to make you feel good.

Oh, I believe you. I believe
you. It's just that, well,

Daisy, this was an
important night,

and what the hell were you doing?

What's the matter, Warren?
Everything worked out fine.

- Aren't you happy?
- Yeah, I'm very happy.

- Why don't you smile?
- I am.

I like your smile, Warren.
Super. See you tomorrow.

Look...

- Daisy...
- Good night, Warren.

Now, that's what I call a man.

What are you gonna
do about Warren?

That's the first time in my life
I felt like the opposite sex.

What are you gonna
do about Warren?

I wonder if he'll ask
me out tomorrow night.

What are you gonna
do about Warren?

What am I gonna do about Warren?
Oh, Warren doesn't care.

- Warren cares.
- Warren cares.

But I don't care.

You have to care because
you're engaged to him.

You don't have to care about
him because how do you know

he cares about you? Then
what are you gonna do?

What'd you say?

How do you happen to be in command
of all this useless knowledge?

Because I'm interested in
extrasensory perception, ESP.

What does it have to do with ESP?

Because if a case such as this

is not the memory of a past life,

then somehow...

knowledge is being
acquired by a sense

other than the five that we
know about. Ergo, extrasensory.

And, my boy, that's the
solution we'd better root for.

Because if reincarnation
is ever proven,

do you know who will
be the hardest hit?

The sweethearts of Sigmund Freud.

Did you ever look up Pelham and
Company or any of those ships?

This is a fantasy, Conrad.

To 600 million Muhammadans,
so is Christmas.

- Yes?
- Daisy Gamble is here, doctor.

May I meet her?

Ask her to come in.

Did you ever try to
hypnotise her by telepathy?

Oh, for God's sake,
Conrad. Telepathy.

- Hello, doctor.
- Hello.

I brought you these.

Miss Gamble, may I
present Dr Fuller.

Oh, hello.

How do you do, Miss Gamble?
I was just leaving.

They're geraniums.

Any minute now.

Miss Gamble says that she can
make flowers grow faster.

Faster than what, Miss Gamble?

Well, you know, faster.

What I mean, my
friend Muriel and I,

we plant our seeds
on the same day,

and, I don't know, my flowers
come charging out of the pot

as if the police were after
them, and poor Muriel...

Do you ever talk to your
flowers, Miss Gamble?

Talk to them? What do
you think I am, crazy?

Do you?

- You don't think I should?
- Yes, I do,

and don't let anyone
stop you, either.

Well, goodbye, Miss Gamble.

Oh, Marc, I advise you
to check those names.

I brought these for your window.

- You know, sill?
- Thank you.

Let's put them over here.

Doctor,

were you thinking about me
around 4:00 this morning?

I was asleep then,
Miss Gamble. Why?

So was I, but something woke me
up. I could've sworn it was you.

Really?

Those look just great there.
Gotta bring you some more.

Miss Gamble.

I wonder if I could
hypnotise you by...

telepathy.

What would I have to do?

Just sit here...

perfectly still, and empty
your mind of all thought.

And I'll stand over here,
and at a certain moment,

I'll begin hypnotising
you in my mind.

Do you understand?

Sure, I understand. It's
such a ridiculous...

Very good, Miss Gamble.
And very irritating.

About Melinda
Tentrees, you told me

that your husband
Robert deserted you.

Please. Not when I'm about
to make an entrance.

Number four.

Black.

Melinda, my dear. What a
questionable surprise.

Do sit down, if you insist.

Thank you.

It's quite fascinating.
I cannot lose.

If I win, I win.

If I lose, you'll be
in agony, and I win.

Number ten. Black.

Well, you have lost.

And I am hardly
writhing on the floor.

Ladies and gentlemen,
place your bets.

And unlike you,

I know what it is to be poor.

All you have ever been
is without funds.

You're so smug about your humble

beginnings, aren't
you? You bore me.

Rien Ne va plus.

That is not true.

You may resent me, Robert.

But you are not bored.

Number 19.

Red.

Play 24.

I've lost everything, what?

- Everything.
- Splendid.

I don't wish to be rich, I
don't wish to be knighted

and I don't wish to be married.

You lie.

Number 24. Black.

Yes. I lie.

Do you enjoy lying?

To you and with you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
place your bets.

Play 36.

Rien Ne va plus.

Must you have everything?

Man cannot live by bed alone.

Number 36. Red.

Good Lord, what does
she see in him?

That gigolo.

What a strange creature woman is.

Does kindness,
generosity and devotion

fill her with kindness,
generosity and devotion?

But give her a good-for-nothing
rat who pinches her money

and every girl in town, and she'll
turn into an angel of love.

Oh, God, why didn't you make woman
first, when you were fresh?

"Robert: Must you have everything?

Melinda: Man cannot
live by bed alone."

"Doctor: Now may we go on?

Patient: I am quite tired.

Doctor: I can see you are.

You may sleep until..." Et
cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

This is the case to date.

Now I want to see
by a show of hands

how many of you think it's
a psychological fantasy?

Everybody.

There's no question
about it. No argument.

And no evidence.

Only prejudice.

In my opinion, this case
merits further investigation.

And I intend to go
on searching the

patient's life and
mind for a clue.

In addition, the information about
England must also be checked.

If any of you have the time or

interest, I would
welcome your help.

And the expected high for
today will be 72 degrees.

The time is now 16 minutes past 8.

On the local front, a
nasty case of mysticism

has struck the Stuyvesant
Medical School.

Yesterday Dr Marc Chabot,
professor of psychiatry,

let it be known that
he was investigating

a possible case of reincarnation.

And by dawn, the
school was surrounded.

Countless students, seeking a
fresh cause for rebellion,

congregated in front
of the medical

school demanding academic freedom.

An emergency meeting of the
Stuyvesant board of directors

was called for this morning.

I want those junkies
out of the yard.

We'll get them out, Brad.

Marc, we were told that
yesterday in your lecture hall,

you read aloud a case history of
one of your current patients,

and in the discussions
that followed,

you indicated that one
possible explanation...

You'll have to forgive me, Marc,
but this is what we heard.

One possible explanation
could be reincarnation.

Now, what actually happened, Marc?

That's what happened.

What the hell did
you say that for?

- Because it could be.
- It could be.

But the point is it isn't.

The stink's coming right
through the walls.

We know, Brad.

Get them out of here before they
start setting themselves on fire.

We will, Brad.

This medical school is a
damn sick little guy.

The only way you're
gonna be able to

get rid of the poison is surgery.

We've gotta go deep
with that scalpel.

I'm presiding here, Crock.

You might try to remember
how difficult it is

to get good college
presidents these days.

Gentlemen, I think we can
cut through all of this.

Marc, in a privately sponsored
school, such as Stuyvesant,

academic freedom means that if you
disagree with the administration,

you're free to go
to another academy.

That's a choice that you're
going to have to make.

At 10:00 tomorrow morning, I
want you to bring into my office

either a letter
denying emphatically

that your remarks had
any mystic implications

or a letter of resignation.

Is that clear?

Mason, I don't see how you could
ask me to do anything else.

We have got to stop
this kind of publicity.

Good day, gentlemen.

And it was never my intention

to suggest reincarnation

as a possible solution

to this case.

I only wanted my students

to learn that all possibilities

must always...

Are you all right, doctor?

Yes, come in, come in.

All those things
they said about you

in the paper, I was so worried.

- Come in.
- I mean, how is

- your mental health, doctor?
- It's fine, thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

Boy, what a layout.

Gee, this is really something.

Who's that?

The woman who lives here.

- Oh, I thought you lived here.
- I do.

Where is she now?

Away with her husband.

- Are they French too?
- No. No.

They gave me their
apartment for the summer.

You sure you're all right?

Yes.

Doctor, how long has this
stuff been going on?

Quite a while.

Does anybody besides you know
who the thing is happening to?

I mean, you know, who the nut is?

No.

And no one ever will.

Do most people think it
was a man or a woman?

Yes, most people think
it was a man or a woman.

Daisy, would you mind if we
skipped your session tonight?

That's all right.

But we can still have
dinner if you like.

Oh, great. And will you
let me pick out where?

Of course.

Nobody ever asks me where
I wanna go except you.

I mean, everybody usually,
you know, always tells me.

I'm kind of a... You
know, a go-alonger.

I mean, people say "Come
along," and I go along.

Downstairs where I
live, they've got

this restaurant called
Enrico and Bernardi's.

But, well, I mean,
does anybody ever say:

"Daisy, do you wanna go to
Enrico and Bernardi's?"

No. No, they say:

"Daisy, we are going to
Enrico and Bernardi's.

You want to come
along?" So I go along.

I don't even like
Enrico and Bernardi's.

They've got absolutely
rotten food.

And the pizza, well, I have
lost more temporary fillings...

Hello.

Oh, it's you.

How are you tonight?

I am accused of treason.

And tomorrow I shall be
ordered to stand trial.

Does Robert know?

I sent him a message
two hours ago.

Where is he?

He should be home soon.

Could this be the
moment he deserted you?

Deserted me?

Robert has not deserted
me, and he never will.

You ought to know.

Why?

Do you think I can
see into the future?

Yes.

I can about certain things.

But never, never about myself.

Oh, I am pleased you came tonight.

An hour ago I was ready
to leap from the bridge.

What's the matter?

Melinda, I came to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

We shan't be together ever again?

No.

That's dreadful.

I shall miss you.

I shall miss you too.

You have brought something into
my life I never knew existed.

What's that?

Mystery.

How odd.

You have brought
clarity into mine.

What will I ever do without you?

- You have Robert.
- I know.

Whom you love.

I know.

But he isn't you.

♪ How could I be this
at ease with him? ♪

♪ Pour out my heart as
I please with him? ♪

♪ He isn't you ♪

♪ He isn't you ♪

♪ When will I feel
so in bloom again? ♪

♪ When will a voice
warm the room again? ♪

♪ He isn't you ♪

♪ He isn't you ♪

♪ Memories may fade ♪

♪ In the shadows behind me ♪

♪ But there'll be the dream ♪

♪ That will always remind me ♪

♪ A dream that I'll be forever ♪

♪ Comparing him to ♪

♪ So love me, he may
even die for me ♪

♪ Sweep every cloud
from the sky for me ♪

♪ He may be king ♪

♪ But he'll never ♪

♪ Be you ♪

But why must you turn back
into a caterpillar, Melinda?

How did you ever become this
little nothing of a creature?

Oh, sometimes I think if
I hear another "I mean,"

I will tighten my tie
until I strangle.

Marc, sit down.

Mason, you asked me yesterday
to prepare a statement.

Forgive me, Marc. Could we
table that for a moment?

- Why?
- Just bear with me.

Marc, you know this building
is called Stratton Hall.

Do you know who Cleo Stratton is?

The man who owns that
enormous yacht in the river?

He lives on it. He's now 80.

During the past 25 years he's
had diabetes, tuberculosis,

cataracts, half dozen
assorted tumours,

ulcers, gallstones and
water on the knee,

all of which the doctors here
at Stuyvesant have cured.

Coincidentally, during
this same period,

he has given the school
over $20 million,

including his Social Security
and Medicare checks.

Mr Stratton heard about our
conversation yesterday

and called me early this
morning to inform me

he was definitely in favour
of your being allowed

to continue with your case.

With the four of us against it,

it made the final vote ten
for you and none opposed.

He not only wants you to
continue with your case,

but he wants me to organise
a permanent department

for research into reincarnation.

Good Lord.

Yes, I believe he is.

But Mr Stratton wants proof.

It occurred to him
that if it's possible

to identify one's
previous incarnations,

it might also be possible to
determine one's future ones,

in which case Mr Stratton could
leave his money to himself.

You mean, if he can't take it with
him, he'll come back and get it?

Yes.

Well, what do you think, Marc?

Well, what do you expect? It's
the chance of a lifetime,

of all my lifetimes.

Thank you.

I will so inform him.

You're...

You're not happy about
it, are you, Mason?

No, I'm not happy. I think
reincarnation is appalling.

It kills ambition,
perpetuates human misery

and propagates false hopes.

And is obviously a pack of lies.

Then how can you accept
his proposition?

I may be wrong.

Dr Chabot's office.

Oh, yes. Yes, doctor, she's here.

One moment, please.

The doctor will be a
little late. Can you wait?

Yes, she can.

Oh, then I can go home now?
Thank you, doctor. Good night.

You don't mind being alone,
do you? He won't be long.

Oh, no, don't worry about me.

I wanna listen to the news, you
know, about him, if there is any.

- Good night.
- Good night.

I'm Daisy Gamble.

Maybe I was called
something else once,

but the only name I...

Take your time.

I mean, my name has always...

My name is...

My name is Melinda.

Melinda Winifred Waine Tentrees.

And I am appalled and stunned
at this outrageous inquisition.

You may sleep until I count
to three and snap my fingers,

and then you will awake and
remember nothing about Melinda.

Now, sleep.

But why must you turn back
into a caterpillar, Melinda?

How did you ever become this
little nothing of a creature?

Oh, sometimes I think if
I hear another "I mean,"

I will tighten my tie
until I strangle.

Daisy Gamble, somewhere
in your mind

is the key to all this,
and I intend to find it,

if I have to squeeze
out of you every

moment of your whole
boring little...

I mean, what is so special

Yes, she gave me

Oh, nothing. Nothing is wrong.

Daisy.

What did you mean,
"the next life"?

What were you talking about?

I've been trying to
find you since 6:00.

- Where did you go?
- To Max's Hardware Store.

- Where?
- Max's Hardware Store.

My watering can fell off the roof.

But...? But where have
you been since then?

You knew we were supposed
to work. I had...

Oh, you wanted to do some
researching tonight?

- You know, with me?
- Of course.

Casually glance at some old
English stuff together?

- We might. It's possible.
- And maybe top off the evening

with a little hypnotism?

Sort of one little trance
before nighty-night?

- It's for your good, Daisy.
- Get off my roof.

- What?
- I said, get off my roof.

- What's the matter?
- Get this straight, Chabot.

Your courting days are over.

I am through being a go-between
for you and your dream girl.

You're not gonna go on
using my head for a motel.

Oh, my God. This is disastrous.

Oh, no.

Now that you know who you are,
you can influence every memory.

You're no longer reliable.

How did you find
out? Who told you?

I played a tape, and
all I can say...

Which tape?

How do I know? All I can say is...

What was it about?

It was in a foreign language.
All I can say is...

- Did you tell anyone?
- And get put in a circus? No.

All I can say is... Oh, rats, I
don't even remember anymore.

Oh, yeah, yeah. All I can say is,

if you tell anybody it's me, I'll
sue. Do you hear me? I'll sue.

There may still be
a chance. Daisy...

The first finger that
touches me, I cut off.

Daisy, I insist you stop this
neurotic behaviour at once.

Neurotic? You get the
hots over somebody

you're not even sure was
anybody, you call me neurotic?

Physician, heal thyself.

Daisy. Daisy, Daisy, because I
didn't tell you what I was doing,

you may feel betrayed and hurt.

But a case like yours happens
once in a million years.

And, Daisy, we have a breathtaking
adventure in front of us.

By the time we
finish, you may find

yourself not only not
an abnormal girl,

but one of the few genuinely
normal people on Earth.

Get off my roof.

I will not get off your roof until
I bring you to your senses.

Any other girl would be proud
to be part of this adventure.

Great. If you want to experiment,
go pick on someone else.

I can't, Daisy. I can't.
Daisy, I need you.

You bet your Aunt
Susie you need me.

And not for the noble
cause of science, either.

- You wanna see Melinda.
- Melinda's beside the point.

- You got the hots for Melinda.
- I am not your business.

That's right, doctor.

You're not.

And I'm not yours either.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I
got a lot of things to do.

I gotta... I gotta spend
more time with Warren.

I gotta plan my life
with Chemical Foods.

And I need my roof.

So if you don't mind,
one, two, three, beat it.

Your roof?

Very well, keep your roof.

It's as close to heaven
as you'll ever get.

Melinda's soul inside of you?

God, what a housing shortage.

Damn you, Daisy, I can't
let you free. I can't.

Not with all the buried
treasure inside you.

- Help.
- You'll see me again.

You can count on that.
Again and again.

You have an appointment
tomorrow at 6. Be there.

Clip, clip.

Rats.

Oh, no, you don't, Dr Marc Chabot.

You are not going to hypnotise
me into coming back.

Fourscore and seven years ago, our
forefathers brought forth upon

this continent a new nation
conceived in liberty

and dedicated to
the proposition...

Mary had a little lamb, its
fleece was white as snow.

Everywhere that Mary went,
her lamb was sure to...

Hey, what in the name of...?

What the hell do you mean, "shh"?

Jerk.

Fourscore and seven years ago, our
forefathers brought forth upon...

- Daisy.
- A new nation...

- Daisy, what are you doing?
- Liberty and dedicated to...

Daisy, what's happened
to you? I left

you a while ago, you were quiet.

Daisy, pay attention.
What are you doing?

Daisy, what in
heaven...? That's rude.

That is very rude,
and I'm shocked.

That, Daisy, is not necessary.

I like you the way you
are. Daisy. Listen to me.

Oh, Warren.

This is not behaving
in a company way.

Daisy, will you... For
Pete's sake, look out.

Marc.

Yes, Conrad.

Marc, get out the champagne.

Shake out the confetti.

- What's the matter with you?
- I solved your case, that's all.

Will you ever forgive me?

The place to look for
spooks, my dear doctor,

is not in a medical library
or in Burke's Peerage,

but in a spook book.

This is an encyclopaedia
of 19th-century psychics.

- May I read aloud?
- Yes, go on.

"Tentrees, Melinda. Clairvoyant.

Dates, 1787-1815.

Married to Sir Robert Tentrees.

In celebrated case, Melinda
Tentrees found guilty

of conspiring with
enemies of the crown

and was executed one
year after sentencing."

How does that grab you?

What about her husband?

Oh, yeah, well, that's
here. That's here.

"Melinda Tentrees claimed all
her information resulted

from psychic powers,
but her husband

failed to appear at her trial.

His evidence might
have saved her."

Well,

there it is.

And may I add that I find your

gratitude absolutely
underwhelming.

Then she is not an
illusion. She lived.

Conrad, I have the feeling
I've known that girl before.

I've got to find out if it's true.

Hi, fella.

- Hi.
- You seen Daisy?

- No.
- That's good.

Is something the matter?

No, no, no, it's
just that we have a

date tonight with the
personnel director

of Chemical Foods at 6:00 at
the Americana and his wife.

I just wanna make sure she
doesn't forget it again.

I wouldn't worry about that now.

Yeah, well, you wouldn't worry
about it now because it's me.

- Wait till you have to get a job.
- I'm not going to.

Oh, really?

Oh, how you gonna arrange that?

I'm rich.

Oh, boy.

Oh, that's depressing.

You know, it's funny you
never know where Daisy is.

Why?

Well, you're engaged to her. Don't
you ever ask her what she does?

No.

- You're incredible.
- Top 2 percent.

Listen, how come I never see
you with any medical books?

I mean, are you really going to

school, or did you
buy the teacher?

I haven't started yet.

Then why are you
hanging around here?

- Actually, I came to see Daisy.
- Why?

She wrote me that she
was gonna be married

and I wanted to see
if she was happy.

Too bad.

Why, you got a better idea?

Yes.

Me.

You?

That's incest.

- We're only related by marriage.
- Well, what other way is there?

- Morning.
- Morning.

Honey, you look kind of tired.
You ought to go back to bed.

I mean, you gotta be
in top form tonight.

Daisy, do you remember
everything we talked about?

- Yeah.
- All right, now, listen, Daisy,

for God's sake, don't let on that
you know that screwball hypnotist.

Sweet mother India, if they
ever found out about that...

Oh, hey, Daisy, I got a great
piece of news for you. You ready?

You don't have to worry
about the cigarettes.

I found out Mrs Unkstadder
is a chain-smoker.

Isn't that a hot one, huh?

Oh, that is...

That... That is really a hot one.

Oh, Warren, that...

That is really a riot.

Isn't that a hot riot, Tad?

Well...

I've really got a hot one
for you too, Warren.

I'm that patient of Dr Chabot's.

I'm Melinda.

I'm not hearing this.

And do you know why my
flowers get so tall?

Because I talk to them.

Every morning I come up here and
I read them Walter Lippmann.

You talk to them?

And do you know what else?

I can tell when the
phone's gonna ring.

Walter Lippmann?

Watch.

Tell him I'm out.

Hello? She's out.

Now, Warren, what time do we
meet tonight, huh? Six o'clock?

Oh, great. I just can't wait
for you to see my new dress.

Oh, it is not too low,
it is not too short.

It is transparent.

- But, Daisy, what...?
- I can't, Warren.

- I just can't.
- But, Daisy...

Oh, Warren.

Get off my roof.

I've been calling for eight
days, and for eight days

I've been told Miss Gamble is
out. When has she been in?

If she's not been in, then
she's not out. She's away.

Now, which is it? Is she
out or is she away?

And if she's away, when did...?

Hello. Hello.

If you don't mind my
saying so, doctor,

why are you so interested
in coming back?

You don't seem to be
having that good a time.

Thank you, Mrs Hatch.

You've done the impossible.

You've given my depression

a depression.

You're out there
somewhere, Daisy Gamble.

And you can hear me.

Daisy.

Will you stop bothering me.

Daisy, I...

Day after day, night after night,

in the bathtub, on the
roof, awake or asleep.

What is this,
extrasensory torture?

I'd go to the police, but
with a story like this,

they'd have locked me up.
What do you want out of me?

Never mind, I know what you want,

and you can't have it
because I haven't got it.

Even if I did, you
wouldn't get it.

What are you talking about?

What you're thinking
about, Melinda.

My name never was Melinda
Tentrees. Now, is that clear?

- How do you know?
- Because I know.

- How?
- Well, well, how could it be?

- I'm not like Melinda Tentrees.
- How do you know what she's like?

I don't, but you do, and
you like what she's like.

You don't like what I'm like,
so I know we're not alike.

I know what I'm like, and
I don't like it either.

Because I'm like nothing
and like nobody,

and nothing or nobody can
change me. I'm stuck as I am.

Weak, a go-alonger, no character.

You have character
to stop smoking.

That's a dirty lie.

I didn't stop smoking,

you made my subconscious
stop wanting to.

And I went along, just
like I always do.

Now, will you please
leave me alone.

Will you please sit down.

Now, you listen to me.

As little as you
know about Melinda,

it's gigantic compared to what
you know about Daisy Gamble.

You think you're nothing and
you walk around looking out

over the world like
Jupiter on Mount Olympus.

Imagine having eyes that can see
the lost article of a friend

or someone about to phone you

or to be filled
with a kind of love

that pulls flowers
from the ground.

And if that were not enough,

you either have a heart
so deep it spans the ages

or a mind that's filled with
the total memory of life.

Why, Daisy, you're
a bloody miracle.

Could anyone among us
have an inkling or a clue

what magic feats of wizardry
and voodoo you can do?

Gee.

Gee.

Daisy, I must hypnotise
you one more time.

No.

Not to see Melinda, I swear it.

Now that you know, it would
probably be distorted.

It's for another reason.
I ask you as a favour.

One last time.

Just hope I haven't
forgotten how...

- Daisy, can you hear me?
- Yes.

Open your eyes.

I want you to concentrate
very, very hard.

You have told me about
your life as Melinda.

Do you remember any other
previous lifetimes?

Oh, sure.

How many?

Let's see.

One, two, three, four.

Five.

Six.

Seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12.

Thirteen.

- Fourteen...
- That's enough, Daisy.

In all those lifetimes,

do you ever remember...

meeting me?

Yes.

Did we know each other well?

We were married.

Happily married?

It was...

beyond anything.

What were our names?

Laura and John Caswell.

Laura and John Caswell.

Where did we live?

It's funny.

We lived in Virginia.

I can...

I can see us, but I...

I can't see all around us.

What year was it?

2038.

- I think I see...
- You don't have to go further.

No more questions.

Sleep until I count to
three and snap my fingers.

Then you will awaken and you
won't remember what you told me.

One, two, three.

Fine.

Thank you, Daisy.

When are you getting married?

Warren and I have severed
our relationship.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I thought I'd go up on
the roof for a while

and sit around with Tad.

You know, my ex-stepbrother.

I think that's a good idea.

- What about you?
- Well, you know, I'm married.

Oh, really?

Yes, but we're separated.

Oh, really?

I spoke to her and somehow I
think it will be all right now.

Oh, really.

She says I've changed.

Have you?

Yes. Thanks to you.

I used to be in love with answers,

but since I have known you, I'm
just as fond of the questions.

I think the answers make you wise,
but the questions make you human.

You got that from me?

Yes, I did.

Well,

I'm glad you got
something. It's only fair.

I don't smoke anymore.

Well...

Goodbye, doctor.

Goodbye, Daisy.

Bye.

Daisy, have you...?

Have you ever been to Virginia?

No.

Have you?

No.

Daisy.
