Doria orchestrates a meeting with Laddie Graham, a junior executive at the studio, and makes him feel bad for her and her situation. She asks him to her bungalow to look at a script. The security guard Finny Flood had been told by Kosta to keep an eye on what Doria does in the bungalow and with whom as he was angry that Doria has avoided sleeping with him. It was Flood who reported Doria’s fling with another actor and he was so well paid for the information that he hopes to catch her again. Seeing Laddie go into her house seems like another good opportunity.
Cliff is pleased to see that Fiedler is claiming his money in an obnoxious way at the racetrack so people recognize him. Cliff continues to place bets on one day and then give Fiedler tickets the next. He knows there are a lot of losing bets but hopes Fiedler will be the biggest loser.
Doria makes Laddie wait a long time in her living room while she changes into a bathing suit and puts her blouse back over it so she appears naked at first glance. She slowly makes a speech from the script for him and affectionately tousles his hair.
