Oh, good evening.

I have always been deathly afraid of
painting myself into a corner, but my

precautions have been useless.

You see, I now remember that this door
I've been backing toward is a closet.

Of course, it's always comforting to
learn that others have made the same

mistake, but I wish he hadn't done that.

It's ruined my floor.

Now I shall have to spend the next few
minutes repainting and miss the first

commercial and the opening of the story.

I don't mind about the story. I've seen
that.

But the commercials come in sets of
three. And if you miss one, it might be

difficult to learn who the sponsor is.

You might have to open it.

No, I... I think I'm all right. I saw
the whole thing.

I was walking right toward him. Someone
should call the police. Or an ambulance.

Please, please.

I just had the wind knocked out of me.

Are you sure? That's a nasty crack on
the head. No, I'm all right. Really. My

sister chipped her rib once. Never even
felt it. Then she had an x -ray and

there... It was. Third rib down. You
okay, mister?

Are you responsible for this? Yeah, but
it was an accident. The board slipped

out of my hand.

Criminal things dropping out of the sky.

Listen, we're covered, mister. Let me
take you to see the foreman. Look, why

don't we forget it on five? Come on,
really.

Okay, but... If you want to get in touch
with the company later on, I'll give

you the address. Excuse me, please. I'm
expected somewhere.

Hiya, fella.

Huh?

Oh, hello.

What's the matter?

You look a little pale.

Well, I just had an accident.

Oh, that's too bad.

I hope it was nothing serious.

No, it was quite a shock.

Let me give you a light, sir.

There we are.

Could I borrow one of those? I kind of
misplaced my pack.

An accident, eh?

What do you do?

Walk into a lamppost?

Something like that.

You know, I know exactly

what you need. What's that?

A good stiff drink.

It's tonic for the nerves.

Besides, you look a little green around
the gills.

Come on, I know a swell place just
across the street.

Well, I don't know. I think I better be
running along.

Oh, come on, come on.

There's no problem in the world.

Never put on the veil, won't you?

Come on, fella.

You back again, Pop?

I still got the same two words for you.

No credit.

No, no, Jimmy.

That's not a very friendly attitude.

He always kids me like that when I come
in here.

What are you going to have to drink?
I'll take a whiskey.

What did you say?

Well, I'll have a second.

Oh, you don't happen to have another
cigarette on you, do you? I could use

Well, here's a look at that, you fella.

Yeah.

You know, we've never been properly
introduced, have we?

My name's Rutherford.

Cyrus Rutherford.

What's yours?

Oh, well, I'm a...

What's my name?

My name is... McCall.

You didn't have your drink.

What's the matter? You

sick or something?

No, no, no. It's just... This is
ridiculous.

What do you mean, ridiculous?

Well, I can't remember who I am.

What do you mean?

Well, a minute ago, when you introduced
yourself, I suddenly realized that I...

I don't know my own name.

Now, let me get this straight.

Are you trying to tell me that you've
forgotten who you are?

That's right.

In fact, I don't remember a thing before
that board fell and hit me on the head.

You don't remember anything?

Well, I remember getting up off the
sidewalk and meeting you and coming in

but... Wait a minute.

What? What is it?

I think I had an appointment somewhere.

Look, fella, try and concentrate.

No, I can't remember.

Well, I know it was something important,
something I had to do.

Well, you sure have a problem, all
right.

Unless... Unless what?

Well, you must have a wallet in your
pocket.

You know, with pictures and a social
security number and driver's license.

Well?

I must have fallen out when I had the
accident.

Oh, say, wait a minute, will you?

I was just wondering if anyone found a
wallet around here.

Wallet? Yeah.

No. How are you feeling?

Oh, I'm fine, fine.

I must have, you know, dropped out of my
coat when I fell.

You sure you didn't see it, huh?

A lot of people standing around. Anybody
could have grabbed it.

Yeah, I guess so.

Listen,

if it shows up, where can we get it? Oh,
that's all right.

Thanks. Thanks, Eddie.

I'm glad to see you.

Any luck? No, I guess somebody ran off
with it.

Why don't you try your pockets again?

Oh, Jimmy.

Let's see.

There's a handkerchief.

And a key.

Well, that proves I live somewhere.

The trouble is I have a key and no door.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What's that?

It's a thousand dollar bill.

Well, I see that.

That's what it is, all right.

It looks real, too.

Dr. Ralph Manick.

West 96th Street.

Where are we now?

West 83rd Street.

Hey, wait a minute.

Maybe that's where you were going.

You remember you said you had an
appointment.

You know something?

Maybe this Dr. Manick could even be you.

Well, if he's not, maybe he can tell me
who I am.

Hey, mister.

Yeah?

That'll be $3 .90.

Oh, uh... Yeah.

Hey, mister.

This is a $1 ,000 bill.

I know.

Can't you change it?

Change it?

What do you think I am, the Treasury
Department?

Now, come on, come on, friend. Cough up
the 390.

Sorry, that's all I have.

I... Well, I'm fresh out of fun.

I thought he was going to pay.

Hey, what is this?

Some kind of swindle or something?

You two walking around town bumming
drinks with a thousand dollar bill?

Of course not. I'm perfectly willing to
pay.

Well, then pay.

I did. Now let me have my change.

All right, that settles it. Ben!

What's the trouble?

Fella gave me a thousand bucks on a 390
tab and says he wants the change.

You mean this is all you got?

I'm afraid so.

Well, mister, we just run a little
neighborhood business here.

This ain't exactly the Star Club. Make
him pay, Ben.

Look, I'm perfectly willing to pay. He
won't take my money. I told you, Ben,

he's a real wines guy. All right, all
right. If he doesn't have it, he doesn't

have it.

Get me a pencil and paper.

I guess I'll have to trust you, mister.

Just give me a name and address. I don't
remember them.

What?

I said I don't remember them. I had a
little accident a while ago and I... Get

out of here.

May I help you?

Is Dr.

Manik in?

Yes, but he's ready to leave for the
day.

Do you have an appointment?

Look, will you buzz the doctor and tell
him I'm here? It's important.

I'm sorry, sir, but I'll have to have
your name.

Look, miss, if I knew my name, I
wouldn't be here now. Will you get the

Yes.

Well, if... Well, if the pain continues,
call me later.

That's right.

Goodbye.

Yes, Miss Sherman.

Doctor, there's a strange man outside
who says he doesn't know his name. He

wants to see you.

Something I can do for you?

Doctor, I... Well, I know this is going
to sound very stupid, but... Do you know

who I am?

I'm sorry.

I've never seen you before in my life.

Doctor, are you absolutely sure this is
important?

I'm afraid so. I have a very good memory
for faces. And if we had met before...

But we haven't. If you'll excuse me.

Wait a minute, Doctor.

Take another look at my face.

Well, maybe we met at a friend's house
at a party.

Or maybe we played golf together.

Or served on a jury.

Anything?

No, I'm quite positive.

It's the first time I've ever seen you.

I see. Well, I'm... I'm sorry I bothered
you.

Are you sure you're feeling all right?

Oh, yes. I just can't remember who I am.

Turn your head.

Hey, that's quite a cut you have there.

You better let me see to it.

Come on in here.

My nurse just left a few minutes ago.

We were closing up shop.

Sit down there.

That I'd bother you? No.

I'm going to clean that cut up.

Now, this may sting a little at first.

Does

that

hurt?

Well, no stitching is necessary.

You're lucky it wasn't any deeper.

I think I'll let the air get to that.

There.

You're as good as new.

If you were one of my child patients,
I'd give you a lollipop.

I guess I must have been hit harder than
I thought.

That's probably why it happened.

Why, what happened?

Why, I can't remember who I am.

Doctor, I know this sounds weird to you,
but about an hour ago, I was walking

along the street minding my own
business, and all of a sudden, a board

out of nowhere.

Next thing I knew, I was flat on my back
on the sidewalk.

A board?

Yes, it fell from one of the buildings.
They were doing some construction work.

Were you knocked unconscious?

Well, I don't know. I think so.

Next thing I remember, there was a crowd
around me.

Well, I didn't have any bones broken or
anything like that.

Anyway, I got to my feet and I assured
everyone I was all right.

But I wanted to get out of there. You
see, crowds bother me.

Excuse me, doctor, but I'm leaving now.
That is unless you need me.

No, I'll see you in the morning, Miss
Sherman.

Good night.

Good night.

Tell me, were you aware of striking your
head with any force?

It all happened so fast. I mean, one
minute you're walking along the street,

next minute you're flat on your back.

Sit down.

When did you realize you'd lost your
memory?

Oh, well, I went into a bar to have a
drink and all of a sudden it hit me.

No name, no address.

I didn't know who I was or where I was
going.

It all seems to fit the pattern.

What pattern?

I think you've temporary amnesia.

Temporary amnesia? Produced by shock or
a sharp blow, either physical or

emotional.

Have you had any headaches, dizziness,
nausea?

No, no, nothing like that.

Your pulse is normal.

Stand up for a minute.

Put your arms out in front of you with
the palms down.

That's fine.

Now close your eyes.

What's this supposed to prove? Oh,
nothing. It's just a test.

How's your balance?

Fine. Good.

Sit down again.

Now, it's possible you have a slight
concussion, but it's difficult to say

without a complete examination.

Oh, great.

One thing I don't understand is why did
you come to me?

Oh, well, uh...

I found this in my pocket. It was
wrapped around a $1 ,000 bill.

Well, that's peculiar.

Yes.

First, I thought I might be you. That
is, that I... I was Dr. Manning. Then I

figured if I wasn't, why, you could tell
me who I am.

Well, why else would I have your name
and address in my pocket?

Well, perhaps a patient of mine gave it
to you.

Well, it's true.

Which one?

Where do I find him?

I don't know.

Look, what am I supposed to do anyway?

Where do I go?

I got a picture of myself putting a big
fat X on a hotel register somewhere.

I don't even know if I belong in this
town. And who am I anyway?

Am I an accountant?

An executive? A doctor?

As far as I'm concerned, I could be an
unemployed bum just off a boxcar this

morning. Well, I doubt that. No one's
quite a bum with a thousand dollars.

You're right.

Now listen to me.

I know you're upset, and it's only
natural.

But I think the best thing for you to do
is to go to the police.

Police? Why?

Well, because they can put your picture
in the paper. That's the first step.

Then if you have any relatives, they'll
see it and they'll come for you.

I'll just call them and have them send a
car. No, no, no, no. Please, look.

I... I don't want to make a big thing
out of this. I... I just want to find

who I am. I thought you could help me.
I'm trying to. Just let me call. No.

This is ridiculous.

You know it is. The whole thing is
ridiculous. I mean, $1 ,000 bill and no

No name.

Doctor, can I go away?

Can I get my memory back?

It's possible.

How possible?

Well, sometimes the amnesia only lasts
for a couple of hours.

Once in a while, something makes a
connection and the mind returns to

But it's difficult to say. The only sure
way would be a complete examination.

Who's this?

My wife.

Wife.

I wonder if I have a wife.

Well, if you do, she's probably worried
by now.

That's why I think you should go to the
police. They can help you.

It's the weirdest thing. I'll even go to
the station with you. They have doctors

there who can give you a thorough
examination.

Besides, there may have been inquiries.

Perhaps your wife has already phoned
them.

It's the weirdest thing.

Look, Doctor, I'm sorry.

This is really my problem. I'm sorry I
dumped it in your lap.

I'd like to help you.

No, no, no, no. Look, I know you want to
go home. I'm sorry I bothered you. But

wait, you just can't leave like this.
Where will you go?

Well, I'll be all right. I'll be fine.

Wait.

I hear this is amazing.

Why, what happened?

I was standing waiting for the elevator
and all of a sudden something clicked.

It was just as if somebody turned on the
lights.

You mean your memory came back?

That's right.

Clear as day.

Well, that's wonderful.

I even know where I got the thousand
dollars.

Your wife gave it to me.

My wife?

That's what she paid me to kill you.

As you can see, I'm making an effort to
avoid a repetition of my recent

experience. As for the story you have
just seen... The state has put our young

hero away, so he won't be in any danger
from falling scaffolding. But neither he

nor anyone else can escape the
following. If you survive, you will find

There are times when a loss of memory
might be a good thing.

Until next week at this same time, good
night.
