David wakes up early, careful not to disturb Ann. Though he briefly considers leaving, he stays to secretly search for Jade’s contact information in Ann’s address book. Finding it, he feels a surge of excitement and copies her new address and several phone numbers. Despite his fatigue, he straightens up the apartment, torn between the thrill of having Jade’s contact information, the despair of his financial struggles, and the thought of leaving New York.

When Ann eventually wakes, she apologizes for her behavior the previous night and reveals that Jade still thinks about him. This brings David a small measure of comfort, and he awkwardly tries to express his gratitude. Ann tells him he should leave so she can get to work but agrees to let him call her later.

After leaving Ann’s place, David returns to his hotel and immediately tries to contact Jade. He calls three different numbers but is unable to speak to her directly. One call, answered by a young man at what seems to be a communal house, leaves David suspicious. Although disappointed, David remains determined and elated by his proximity to Jade’s world. He calls Ann, who tells him Hugh and Ingrid are in New York.
