The Memorist (2008)
“Swinging 200 feet above the ground in the enclosed space of the Ferris wheel’s red cabin, Meer looked out over the city sprawl. “This is crazy.”
“It was our best chance. The way the two trains were sitting there, even if someone had followed us from the tram stop, there wouldn’t be any way they could have seen us get off the first train and onto the second one.”
“And now?”
“And now we’re waiting. Catching our breath. Letting the sun set.”
“And then?”
“A hotel.”
“You mean a different hotel?”
“Ye...s, not the Sacher where you’re registered. We’ll find someplace else.”
“When can we call Malachai? And my father? We have to let my dad know what’s going on.”
“Once we get to the hotel.”
The cabin swung in the wind and Meer felt her center of gravity shift.
“I remember this scene from The Third Man,” she said. “We studied that movie for its zither score in a film scoring class I took at Juilliard.”
“That’s what everyone remembers, the zither and this scene.”MoreLess
