A third story centers on a woman named Pauline who catches the eye of the famous actor Randy Willis at a dance; after he kisses her in Hollywood, she becomes swept up in the glamour, though he expresses concerns about the differences in their lives and suggests she shouldn't pursue a relationship with someone who cannot possibly fit into her world.
