Morgan was waiting in the observation car. She was enjoying the scenery rolling by as she looked out the window.
Paul: *Arrives*
Morgan: *Looks at Paul as he comes closer* Just in time.
Paul: For what?
Morgan: My favorite part of the trip. I rode on this train when it made it's very first eastbound run in 1912, and this is my favorite part of the scenery. Look at the boats on the water.
Paul: *Watching the boats as they cross a bridge* They do look nice.
Morgan: I love travelling. All I have to do now is go up in an airplane.
Paul: I don't have the stomach for that. I'd rather stay on the ground.
Fort Wayne, Indiana
A director for a play was not happy. One of his most popular actresses quit on him, and he needed someone for an upcoming play in Philadelphia. This director's name is Ivan Ivanski.
Ivan: *Pacing the floor as he waits in the train station* I need to find someone otherwise I'm doomed. My play is scheduled for next month, and I must find a replacement. That telegram I got from Ms. Schwartz was a phony. Perhaps I'll have more luck on the train. *Checks the clock* 5:30. The train should be here at 5:45. *Walks out onto the station platform*
There were a few women sitting on a bench to his right, but Ivan didn't seem pleased with their looks.
Ivan: Their hair is black. I need a blonde. *Sees a blonde on the other side of the tracks* Excuse me, miss!
Woman: *Looks at Ivan*
Ivan: Would you mind coming here for a second?
Woman: I can't cross the train tracks from here, that's illegal.
Ivan: It will just be a moment.
William: *Blowing the whistle as he approaches the station*
Woman: Goodbye sir. *Walks away*
Ivan: Drat. Why is the train always late when you need it to be early, or vice versa?
William: *Brings the train to a stop, and blows the whistle*
Ivan: *Gets on board the train*
Three passengers got off. Ivan looked at the conductor.
Ivan: Well, we're good to go, aren't we?
Bill: We're not supposed to leave until 5:49. We're waiting for more passengers.
Ivan: Well you're 15 minutes early. Surely if there were any other passengers who wanted to get on board, they would be waiting with me.
Bill: Rules are rules. *Walks out of the train*
Ivan: *Heads for his compartment*
Bill: *Walking on the platform, examining the station*
Paul: *Walking with Morgan*
Morgan: That was fun.
Paul: When they serve dinner, would you like to join me?
Morgan: Of course I would. *Kisses Paul*
Paul: See you again soon.
As the two headed into their compartments, Ivan noticed something.
Ivan: *Looks at Morgan* She's blonde, and has big bosoms. An attractive woman like that should be perfect for my play. I'll ask her later in the dining car. *Heads for his room*
Bill: *Checking his watch* Well, it's been ten minutes. *Heads back on the train* All aboard!!
Sid: Here we go.
William: *Blows the whistle twice, and pulls the train out of the station*
Next stop, Crestline Ohio.
