- In her compartment, Eve talks to Thornhill, who's hidden in the berth (the closable train bed) above her complaining that he can't breathe in there.
- Police enter Eve's compartment and ask her about Thornhill. They know she was seated across from him at dinner and "getting along pretty good."
- She lies and says that she didn't know his name and that they only engaged in small talk.
- Before leaving, the police tell her to keep an eye out for Thornhill.
- When the coast is clear, Eve opens the upper berth, and Thornhill comes tumbling out.
- "Why are you so good to me?" Thornhill asks, and Eve replies seductively: "Shall I climb up and tell you why?"
- A long, steamy exchange of kisses follows.
- Eve says what they're doing is ridiculous, since they're just "strangers on a train."
- Their kisses and conversation are interrupted by a porter, who comes to make Eve's bed.
- Thornhill hides in the bathroom while the porter does his thing.
- After the porter leaves, Thornhill asks what they're going to do about only having one bed, clearly thinking she'll offer to share it.
- Eve says he'll be sleeping on the floor.
