He lies down on the bed, drifts off to sleep. He dreams: Carrie calls in to Gerard--there's the nicest man to see you--he says you expect him. Gerard answers the door to a bearded man portrayed by none other than Humbert Allen Astredo. Carrie leaves. I wasn't expecting you, says Gerard--what do you want?

What do you want from me? asks Gerard. I don't want anything from you--I was sent to give you something--THIS! He holds up the Judah-in-the-box. Disgusted, Gerard closes the door on him. The man knocks and knocks.Gerard awakens from the dream to real knocking-- Carrie, who says, there's the nicest man to see you--he says you're expecting him.
