North by Northwest Scene 12 Summary

  • In the train station, Thornhill's wearing sunglasses to disguise himself.
  • Everyone's on the lookout for him, he explains to his mother on the phone. He tells her that he's decided to go in search of George Kaplan—by train, not plane since there's more room to hide. He tries to buy a ticket for Chicago on the 20th-Century Limited, but he senses that the agent selling tickets recognizes him and is about to notify police, so he disappears.
