Nearly thirty, Jack is still on the road. Lilly, wealthy, rapidly approaching middle age, is bored. A serendipitous meeting on a long, cross-country flight ...

Jack: During those past six years, I was confronted with a raft of unfamiliar situations -- sometimes hostile, sometimes ennobling, often wondrous, occasionally demeaning or inhuman, and not infrequently, simply lifeless or fatiguing ... I trusted a private credo back then that would spin itself round in the back of my mind: You endure what you must, learn what you can, and take your pleasures wherever you find them'. And I'd rely on whatever I could to get by. ''

Sometimes I felt like Franz Kafka's Joseph K. Other times, like Voltaire's Candide.

Lilly: I had my own 'credo' when it came to these kinds of overtures. There were two essentials. The man must show me respect and he must be rich.

I made it clear that I was not to be his intimate 'girl Friday, ' as long as he was married.
