Minute 050: You’re Roger Thornhill of Madison Avenue

HOSTS: BRETT STILLO AND JOSH HOROWITZ FROM 5 MINUTES OF BANZAI Roger and the mysterious woman are seated at dinner, as the 20th Century Limited heads north along the Hudson River. “Don’t you think it’s time we were introduced?” asks Roger. “I’m Eve Kendall. I’m twenty-six and unmarried,” says the woman. “Now you know everything.” “Tell me,” says Roger, “What do you do, besides lure men to their doom on the Twentieth Century Limited?” “I’m an industrial designer,” says Eve.  “Jack Phillips,” says Roger. “Western Sales Manager for Kingby Electronics.” “No, you’re not,” says Eve, smiling. “You’re Roger Thornhill of Madison Avenue, and you’re wanted for murder on every front page in America.” Roger looks at her, shocked. “Don’t be so modest,” continues Eve.  “Oops,” says Roger. “Oh, don’t worry,” says Eve. “I won’t say a word.” “How come?” asks Roger. “I told you,” says Eve. “It’s a nice face.” “Is that the only reason?” asks Roger. “It’s going to be a long night,” says Eve. “True,” says Roger, nodding his head.  “I don’t particularly like the book I’ve started,” continues Eve. “Ahh,” says Roger. “You know what I mean?” asks Eve. “Well, let me think,” says Roger.
