When silence reigns next door, Paul consults the house directory, and dials the number of the room where Gina is.</div> <bR> <div> She is surprised to hear his voice, but tells him that she got none of his messages, and that it's with her own consent that calls are not passed on to her. So she wonders how he got her number. He asks, were he to make it past all the obstacles, whether she'd like to see him again.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 326 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="10ee902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Susan Strasberg and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul sweeps Gina into his arms</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Gina says that she'd love to as she's thought much of their moments in Paris, but it would be impossible, because they wouldn't let him in, so he mustn't even try.</div> <bR> <div> “You think so?” asks Paul smugly, “just hang up and wait.” Gina looks perplexed when Paul disconnects from his side. Then there is a knock on the adjoining door.

Gina says that she is only rehearsing, but Madame Tenati tells her to stop and take the doctor's orders to go to bed. Gina says that she feels better and will sleep now, then tells Paul that she's going to get dressed to go out with him. He tells her where the taxi is parked, and she says she'll be there in 15 minutes, then changes that to five and kisses him.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 328 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="10ec902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Frances Fong, Ben Gazzara and Susan Strasberg in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Thrilled to see Paul, Mitzi offers them home cooking</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Paul takes Gina on a tour of his city - to a motor race, the view from a skyscraper, the seals and a colorful parade in Chinatown where he brings her to the restaurant of his dear friend Mitzi Kuan.

Gina comments on how overjoyed Mitzi was to see Paul, and he admits that it's been quite a while since they'd seen one another.
