THE INDIANA JONES MINUTE<\/h3>




Eve is hinting at Roger spending the night in her sleeper car.\u00a0<\/p>

“Yes, I know exactly what you mean,” says Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

Eve reaches for a cigarette. Roger pulls out his personalized matchbook, with the initials “R.O.T.” stamped on the front and back.<\/p>

Thornhill notices Eve looking at his matchbook cover. “That was my trademark,” explains Roger. “Rot!”<\/p>

“Roger O. Thornhill,” says Eve. “What does the O stand for?”<\/p>

“Nothing,” replies Roger, smiling.\u00a0<\/p>

Roger leans forward with a lit match. Eve steadies his hand with her own as she lights her cigarette, blowing a puff of smoke toward the ceiling. Thornhill starts to move his hand back, but Eve pulls the match toward her mouth, blowing it out in a long breath.\u00a0<\/p>

Roger looks extremely pleased with the gesture. Eve smiles.\u00a0<\/p>

“I’d invite you to my bedroom, if I had a bedroom,” says Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

“A roomette?” asks Eve.\u00a0<\/p>

“Nohing,” says Roger. “Not even a ticket. I’ve been playing hide-and-seek with the Pullman conductor ever since the train left New York.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
