Episode notes
In a small but well furnished apartment in New York's Greenwich Village, an attractive woman in her early 30s named Cybil Kent and a good-looking young man named Roger Dalton are having cocktails before the fireplace. Roger says "This is the moment I've been waiting for, Cybil. I've got terrific news for you". Cybil says "News, Roger?" He says "I've finally landed it. That job as an artist with the advertising agency!" Cybil says "Roger, oh darling!" He says "That agency is one of the most important advertising firms in town. I'm to start with work the beginning of the week, and it's all thanks to you, Cybil". She says "Oh, Roger, that's wonderful, because it means that now at last we can go ahead with our plans". Roger says "What do you mean, Cybil?" She says "Oh, Roger darling, do I have to say it? Our understanding was that as soon as you graduated from Art School and got a job we we'd be married". Roger says "Great Scott! You ... you mean you took that seriously?" Cybil says "What? Roger you know that was our agreement". Roger says "But, Cybil, I never dreamt you were really serious. In fact, I've made plans of my own. I'm going to marry Vera Langdon". Cybil says "Vera Langdon? After all I've done for you! All the sacrifices I've made for you!" Roger says "Cybil, you've been a wonderful friend and I mean to pay you back someday". Cybil says "Pay me back? Roger Dalton, you're not throwing me over for that society girl, Vera Langdon! Not when I've spent every penny I have to put you through Art School! If you leave me, I'll go to your new job, and to Vera and her wealthy father, and fix things up for you so that you'll be through for good! I'll even go farther! I'll kill you before I give you up to anyone else! Do you hear me, Roger?"
