Bobby feels very lucky when a top notch theatrical agent, Nora, is in his cab. He makes a pitch to her, telling her about what a good actor he is. Initially she shuns him, but later agrees to watch him in the play he currently stars in.

Sure enough, Nora sees him and then agrees to work with him, but it soon becomes evident that she has more than a business interest in him. Nonetheless, he begins a relationship with her, and his career is suddenly really starting to take off.

Soon enough, Bobby is feeling as though he's prostituting himself and eventually gets up the courage to tell Nora he wishes to keep their relationship on a business level. This does not sit well with Nora. She not only stops seeing him, she representing him, and in their final argument, takes away Bobby's self respect and his shoes.
