Back at the apartment, Beierle is worried about the whereabouts of his mistress. She tells him that she has just returned from work, and that she will be arriving back in time for the rehearsal for tomorrow's concert. He tells her that he has plans to go to the rehearsal, but he can't because he has some important business to attend to. He asks her if she will trust him, and she says she will not, because she doesn't trust her own designs. Beirle says that both of them graduated from the university together, and they are a "perfect couple". He says that if he had ordered more magazines, there would be more, but no one had seen his design. He says this is because people in the industry don't reveal their designs.
