[ Car Horns Honking ]
Buy 1 2 at market, unload four at 90, dump the rest on Friday.
Now don't burn me, Albert. I'm on the line here. Ten is break-even. I said 1 2.
Right. Nothing's impossible, Albert. Impossible just takes a couple extra phone calls.
- We're standing still here, Eliot. - Yes, Mr. Ireland.
I don't like to stand still.
*Let me take over *
*Listen, no need to put up a fight *
*I hope by now you know I'm right *

Morning, Mr. Ireland. Morning, Charlie.
[ Man ] Hello, Mr. Ireland. Hey.
Good morning, Mr. Ireland. Good morning, Nora.
Good morning. Morning.
Nice to see you, Mr. Ireland. I won't need that giraffe for about a half an hour.
Take it out for a walk. Very good, sir.
Gloria, they're for you. I hope you like them.
[ Gasps ] They're beautiful.
Oh, thank you so much. You like 'em, babe?
Oh, you're a doll. You're a great big lovable doll. Yeah? Yeah.
Mr. Salvatore has exquisite taste.
Here you go, Dougie. Listen, it rained all weekend, so make sure you give them a good workout.
I'll take care of it myself, sir. I have a way with animals.
Dougie, are you the guy to talk to about them t'ings?
Them t'ings, Mr. Salvatore?
Yeah, you know. Them things on the pillow. Uh, hair?
Genie, get some more of them things.! Yeah, all right
You know, them things on the pillow. Initials.
Them t'ings at night
On the pillow
Mints Pillow mints Yeah Yeah
Them things. We like 'em. Yes, of course. Why didn't I think?
Stupid. Yes. How many would you like? How many?
- A lot.! - A lot. - A lot it shall be.
- You're a beautiful kid. - Enjoy your stay at the Bradbury.
You're a doll. You're a doll.
No, you're a doll.
[ Barking ] Whoa, whoa. Easy, easy. Yo, yip. Come.
- Make sure they make - Right. Make.
[ Doug Grunts ]
So... you guys planning on seeing any shows while you're in town?
[ Whining ] [ Barking ]
All right. Okay.
This is steak Diane. You guys don't eat this, I will.
You eat all that up, you can have some of them t'ings when you're done.
Come on, man. I'm open, I'm open. Pass There it is
Jump Score Yes, yes
Carmen, Carmen. Ambulate the canines. What?
Take the dogs for a walk. Oh, of course, Mr. Ireland.
Ten dollars, Mr. Ireland?
Funny, I thought this was the Bradbury, but it must be Fat Harry's Motor Lodge.
Carmen, one day, you're gonna be a great concierge.
In the meantime, go get the biggest plastic bag you can find. And don't make fun...
ofher hair. [ Whines ]
Those things aren't candy, Douglas. I'm not gonna eat 'em all.
Can I get change for that? I'm in kind of a hurry. Now let's see.
Fifty-eight cents out of 1 00.
It's 99.42. A whiz kid. Let's just be sure.
Could you just-- Uh, 99.42.
Does that look right to you? You know, anywhere in that ballpark is gonna be fine.
I'm not fussy. 1 9.42.
99.42.
[ Laughs ] You know why I said 1 9.42?
You were tryin' to cheat me out of 80 bucks.
[ Laughing ] I was married in 1 942.
You know, I read that in the library.
[ Laughing ] [ Register Rings ]
I was a war bride.
- Those were horrible, frightening days. - The war.
No, living with Mr. Vigusian.
[ Coins Clattering ] Whoops
Just a minute. [ Groans ]
Yes, if he hadn't fallen off the Staten Island ferry...
Irving and I would now be married 50 years.
I said, ''Irving, get away from the rail''
Dougie?
Airport? Take the 59th Street Bridge definitely.
Look, Ahmed, I'm rather skeptical. It's just that the last belly dancer...
you sent me wasn't quite as slender as I would have hoped.
No, the word ''belly'' could have applied to any part of her anatomy.
It's not possible. [ Doug ] Ahmed. Ahmed,you're shrieking.
- [ Mumbling ] - I have an open mind, Ahmed.
It's just that a dancer should have legs. Duck.! Duck.!
[ Whispering ] Do something
Okay, Ahmed, I'll tell ya what. Bottom line here.
You don't start treating me right, I'm taking my business to Gemal.
Yeah, I'm aware of the blood feud, Ahmed. I don't care. Salaam alaikum. Milton.
Milton, the Ringos have been in their room for an hour. We want it done right.
Two trips if you have to. These people do not have time for you to build the pyramids.
Milton Glickman has never made two trips in his life and never will.
The Duchess of Windsor, 1 948, 41 pieces, one trip.
John Barrymore, 1 941 ...
38 pieces including Mr. Barrymore...
drunk as a lord, one trip. Drunk as a lord, one trip.
The Who, 1 97 5-- Just get the bags to the room before they check out.
1 67 pieces. One trip.
I spoke to the union. You were wrong. I am allowed...
to FIRe that senile old idiot.
Really? Did you speak to Miss Tantorelli at the Brooklyn office because--
I want him out. Look, Mr. Himmelman, you can't fire Milton.
He's been here forever. A hotel is more than just facilities and amenities.
- Are you trying to tell me how to run a hotel? - No, sir. Would never do that.
I'm just saying that the Bradbury's like a family.
It's a place where you have an eccentric old bellhop or a hotel manager that charges...
thousands of dollars in personal long-distance phone calls to the hotel.
Doesn't mean we want that family member FIRed... or in jail.
Because that would be upsetting to the family. You understand?
Yes, you might be right, Duck.
Happens.
Hey, Vincent, what's happening in your sordid little world today?
Divorce court. [ woman ]...to the most fabulous city in the world...
and your idea of a second honeymoon is sitting in a dark room eating a tuna sandwich.
[ Man ] I'm just about ready to go, honey.
Where? Back to the room to watch wheel of Fortune? I came here to fall in love again.
All you wanna do is fall asleep.
It was a very good sandwich. Thank you.
He's doomed, Dougie. The rube's marriage is doomed.
Yep. Them hicks have difficulties:
when to plant things, which shirt to put on the scarecrow; pressure builds up.
Well, there's nothin' we can do about it.
Dougie, I'm just a bartender. You're the concierge.
Hey, he seemed like a nice guy.
Yeah, well, that nice guy left you a half a buck tip.
You save his marriage. Dougie.! You kept me and the missus out of divorce court.!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[ Man ] Sixteen dollars for tuna FIsh?
[ woman ] Harry, will you stop talking about tuna FIsh?
- Not when it costs more than my shoes. - There you are, sir.
I have those tickets for you. Tickets?
The tickets you called about. Now I could only get fourth-row orchestra. I'm sorry.
Miss Saigon is very tough to get at the last second. I made reservations for dinner...
at the Rainbow Room; Gigi the maitre d' is expecting you.
And as per instructions, the hotel limo will pick you up at the theater.
Why, Sparky, you really had me going.
Oh, my God. I can't go to the Rainbow Room with my hair like this.
Ask for Kenneth. He does Ivana.
Thank you.
Well, you came through like a pro. How'd ya know?
I'm the concierge. I know everything.
You do your job very well. She hasn't called me Sparky in a real long time.
Look, I don't know exactly how to do this, but, uh--
Uh, look, don't confuse yourself with all these little denominations.
You wait until I'm the best friend you ever had. Then you give me a tip so big...
it feels like passing a kidney stone. Ow. That bad, huh?
If I'm worth it. [ Phone Ringing ]
Excuse me... Sparky.
- [ Ringing ] - Concierge.
Dougie, it's Jeanette Vigusian. Yes, Mrs. Vigusian?
- From the newsstand? - Yes, I know, Mrs. Vigusian.
Have you got a minute? No, I don't.
You don't have a minute? Yes, Mrs. Vigusian. I have a minute.
I thought so. Everybody has a minute.
- Uh, Mrs. Vigusian-- - what about settling down, Dougie?
Marriage, children-- Okay, I will. Thanks, Mrs. Vigusian.
- Over there by the fern. - Settle down over there by the fern.
with her... over there by the fern.
Oh, good idea, Mrs. Vigusian. I'll marry her. Good.
Thanks.
Some sweet? No?
Check this out. That's the new Julian Russell girl.
Hottest designer, hottest model. Not many guys have their fantasies...
come true, Doug, but today I get mine.
Look, you know how risky this is, right? I could get fired.
I really owe you. And I'm really gonna collect.
You speak to your boss yet? Sure, sure. He says he wants to meet with you.
You showed him the proposal? The guy gets 50 a week.
He's not gonna write a blank check because some bellhop thinks he has an idea.
I'm a concierge. Four years ago, Hanover found Julian Russell and he--
Schlepping suits in the garment district for 75 bucks.
Now Julian Russell is the fourth small business Hanover's turned to gold since 1985.
You did your homework. Yeah, well, I--
Now you be a good boy.
I need that room back by 2:00. No problem.
[ Clears Throat ]
Hey, Doug, look, I forgot something.
I was supposed to pick up some package at Barney's for Mr. Hanover.
It's a present for his wife. Jesus Christ.
- Come on, Doug. This could be your last day as a bellhop. - Concierge.
[ Sniffing ]
I can't tell a thing. It's all confused with the other scents.
Perhaps on your wrist. Perhaps not. Lend me an ear.
What?
[ Sniffing ]
Too woodsy.
Would you like a second opinion?
Could you? Sure. Miss?
[ Sniffing Deeply ]
[ Laughing ] [ Snorting ]
You're absolutely right. You might as well glue a pinecone back there.
Oh, woodsy, I'm not. No, no. Top of my head, I would say...
that you were, uh-- Ah, miss, a bottle of Joy deJean Patou, please.
My girlfriend wears this. Now she's about your age.
Well, actually, she's not your age. She'll be 38 in June. You're probably 34.
Anyway,Joy is what she wears, and I gotta tell you.
That heady musk, [ Inhales Deeply ]
spicy experience...
tempered by a sweet innocence...
has this boy rooting and foraging morning, noon and night.
[ Inhales, Sighs ]
You be careful.
She'll help you with that.
You are some piece of work. Hey, I got her out of your face, didn't I?
''Rooting and foraging''? Tell people what they want to hear, you can sell 'em anything.
What a lovely thought. Now here's a lovely thought: you, me, Friday night...
Miss Saigon, fourth row, on the aisle. Doug, don't start.
I'm not goin' through this again. Monster trucks at the Garden.
- I've got a boyfriend. - You know, you've used that excuse a number of times.
well, it's handy, and it's true. I hope this guy treats you okay.
Why? Does he?
On and off. Lately?
- We spent last weekend in Saint Bart's. - Don't look tan. Rained out?
''No, Doug, wejust never made it out of the room. ''
All right, I'm gonna come back when I'm older, richer and married.
That way,you won't be able to resist me. Never said he was married.
Listen, I've gotta go.
He's married.
Gary, you were suppose to be out of there an hour ago. I got newlyweds comin' in at 5:00.
Doug, I did it. Oh, spare me the details.
No, I made the call. The big man will be here tomorrow.
Yes
And I trust everything was satisfactory, miss?
Thanks.
[ Clearing Throat ]
[ Snorting ] Hey, Freddy, why don't you take the old girl home...
and give her a rest, huh? Old girl? This is--
GypsyJill. Ran at Belmont. Won at Belmont.
What were you smokin' that year? Let me see. Sixty-six, uh--
Great. [ Sighs ]
Good-bye. Thanks for coming.
I've fallen and I can't get up.
1 204, fresh peaches peeled and a Manchester Guardian every morning.
820, Mr. Mohammed needs a translator to go toJackie Mason.
Concierge. Christ [ Bird ] Jesus Christ, son of the Lord.
No,just Doug. Uh-huh. I'll tell you what. Let me put you through...
to our restaurant expert. Okay, need six at 8:30.
Sell him on II Monastero. Call II Monastero. Ask for Mort.
Milton, you're suppose to be in 302 getting their luggage.
These people have a plane. And I have an ashtray.
Mr. Bradbury was very specific about the sand. Mr. Bradbury has been dead...
since 1 968, these people have a 2:30 flight.
There ya go, Mr. B. Have a nice day.
You know, they cremated him, and when I did this to his ashes...
people wept.
I'm sure that's not all they did. Milton, 302.
**[ Piano ]
* Or on a crowded avenue *
* You are here *
*So am I *
*Maybe millions of people go by *
*But they all disappear *
*From view *
*And I only have eyes *
* For you **
Hmph Hmph That was great.
Really? What did you think?
Uh, well, I thought that that...
really... sucked.
[ Laughing ] [ Gary ] That's not true. You have a nice touch, sir. Really.
Shut up, Gary. Christian Hanover.
Douglas Ireland, sir. I really appreciate you meeting me.
Christian, please. You know, it's great to be back at the Bradbury.
I proposed to my wife in this very bar.
I think she only said yes to get me stop playing that song.
[ Laughing ] That's very funny. Gary, don't you have to go...
and seeJulian at the agency? That's, uh, next week.
Well, leave now.
Yes, sir. Uh, Doug, take good care of my boss.
So, uh, Christian, can I get you a coffee, somethin' to drink?
My room. Gary did mention it.
Uh, yes, absolutely. Please follow me.
I'll tell you what you're thinking.
''Why does a guy who makes that much money need me to comp him a room?''
No, sir. I mean, uh, that's none of my business. I'm making it your business.
Two reasons. I value discretion, Doug.
I didn't get where I am by letting everyone know my every move.
Two: I wanted you to be in the position of doing me a favor...
'cause I've done one for you by coming here today.
It's a small thing, but it's important between men.
We stand equal going in.
Shoot, Doug. Bang-bang.
What price can you put on a dream?
I hope it gets better than this.
well?
Uh, what price can you put on a dream? A hotel...
is more than a place where you eat and you sleep; it's a place where dreams come true.
I'll just skip ahead to the next section.
Okay, here it is without the poetry.
A hotel like none that has ever existed, and it's already built, in here.
Two years ago, I got a tip on an incredible property on Roosevelt Island.
Middle of the East River, best views of Manhattan. I got a two-year option for 40 grand.
Now that's every tip I've made in the last five years. I got one month to get this rollin'...
- or it's goin' back to the city, and I'm screwed. - How much to get it from here?
Three million dollars to start. Now before you say no, sir, I sketched out...
some start-up figures and it's foolproof; just read this.
Nothing is foolproof.
Zoning approval? Contingent upon a small public park in the southeast corner.
- Budget will reflect current building code requirements. - Handicap ramps, bathrooms.
The city signed off on G-1 1 1 minimums? Pending.
What's a G-1 1 1 minimum, Doug?
Well, that's the minimum G-1 , uh... It's made up, Doug.
- That's the G-1 1 1 ''no bullshit clause,'' sir. - Exactly.
[ Knock At Door ] That's probably the day maid.
Actually, I'm expecting someone. She's not my wife, partner. Enough said?
More than enough. we'll be an hour or so.
- I'll take the prospectus when I go. - Thank you, sir.
And may I once again-- Open the door.
Doug. Hi.
Honey, meet Doug. Hi, honey.
You look sensational.
Send up a liter of mineral water.
You got it, partner.
Doug, uh, could I get some advice? Don't want what you can't have.
I mean, I just want to buy some clothes.
Yeah, sorry, Mr. Wegman. Um, absolutely.
What do you have in mind? I don't know. I thought maybe a sports jacket...
some colorful shirts; Mrs. Wegman thinks I--
Women. Who knows what they want? Oh, I know what they want.
Money. That's what they want.
Here, try this. Xena on fifth. Ask for Rick.
Tell him I sent ya. Great. Thanks.
Doug? You okay?
Top of the world.
[ Elevator Dings ]
Thank you, Doug. Uh, not a problem, Mr. Hanover.
Christian. Please.
You'll see that she-- The hotel limo will take her wherever she needs to go.
Very good.
Uh, you will, uh--
I'll, uh, I'll look it over today.
Thank you.
She's a lovely girl, isn't she?
What girl?
Very good, Doug. So long, my friend.
[ Doug Knocking ] Miss Hart, I have a car waiting for you.
I need the room. My supervisor wants to know why I'm behind.
You want me to tell her?
Marie, Marie, Marie, what do you need? Basketball you hate.
- Man of La Mancha you saw, and the woman fainted. - MetslDodgers box seats.
Oh, get a life. I'll just tell my supervisor.
MetslDodgers box seats. What do you know?
Had 'em all the time. Amazing.
You'll enjoy that. It's blackmailer appreciation night.
[ Door Opening ]
Oh,Jesus. It's okay. He left ten minutes ago.
I'm looking for my lipstick.
Yeah, well, buy a new one. Ball's over, Cinderella. I need the room.
This isn't what it looks like. It never is.
- What's that suppose to mean? -Just forget about it, okay? Get your stuff together.
No, I won't forget about it. What did you mean?
It's not what it looks like? Let me guess why. He loves you. You love him.
His wife doesn't understand him. The marriage is over except for some paperwork.
The gifts, trips, the chardonnay during lunch; they're not what compel you.
It's the little boy inside of him that no one else sees. How am I doin'?
Boy, are you mean. But am I wrong?
Yes. We don't drink wine with lunch.
Well, there ya go.
[ Alarm Ringing ] Who the hell are you to judge me?
Excuse me? I know what you're thinking.
[ Shuts Off Alarm ] I'm not thinking anything.
Christian's marriage has been dead a long time. Sir, enjoyed your stay?
Fine, fine. He's been going through a difficult divorce. I'm staying out of the way.
You try the breakfast buffet? We're quite proud of that. Oh, excellent.
I didn't even know he was married when we met.
Country sausage is a real treat. You know the definition of''concierge''?
It's French for ''asshole.''
Eddie, what are you doing?
I thought I heard a bugle call. well, I, um--
[ Lily ] Now you just sit there and practice your dirges.
[ Knock At Door ] Someday you may want to enter your father's business...
and start a parlor of your own.
Hey, Leon. How ya doin'? Come on in. Douglas.
The Munsters, huh? Uh, which one is this?
The one where Lily gets pissed at Herman 'cause he's foolin' around with the ski instructors.
A classic. Anyway, thanks very much, and I'll see you later.
You wanna stay and have a beer, 'cause Grandpa's gonna turn Eddie into a housefly.
Well, my girl's waiting out on the moped. Oh, you should go.
Thanks, Leon.
[ Grandpa ]...Paderewski's hangnail, an E minor chord from the organ...
at westminster Abbey, a doorknob off the Grand Canyon suite...
and three-- three mind you-- sequins from Liberace's jacket.
[ Eddie ] what's this?
[ Sniffing ] **[ Bugle ]
[ Grandpa ] Oh, I just gotta stop reading the racing form...
while I'm mixing these magic pills. [ Laughing ]
Damn.
Let's deal before these shows close, huh? Two Tommy Tunes looking...
for six Mets; that'll be 28.
Four Mets lookin'for two Cats. Four times 1 2. Plus a Saigon. Eighteen bucks.
- Thanks very much. - Hold on to your watches. He's a real operator.
Some guys see the picture. Okay, Saigon wants Les Mis, lookin' for Yankee day games...
lookin'for Ice Capades. You still building your hotel? Boardwalk or Park Place?
Boardwalk. I need Pavarotti. Anybody got Pavarotti? Yeah, I got Pavarotti.
So all you need is $3 million. Just a couple hundred...
years'tips. Got it. Got a guy who's got it.
- What about my night games? - Gettin' to night games. Dougie needs six Grand Hotels.
Charlotte needs two Cats and a Phantom. Six times 50 is three, minus two times 60.
Minus 40, plus Secret Gardens and Charlotte's a happy camper.
Okay, Ruben needs night games. Ruben's got night games. How did this Donahue get in here?
All right, everybody happy? Okay, pleasure doin' business with you. Thanks very much.
Jusqu'a l'annee prochaine. Bonne chance. Thank you.
Merci. Ed Drinkwater, Internal Revenue Service.
Oh, members of the service are not allowed to accept...
gifts, donations, premiums or favors. Article 3 5, section B.
I can, however, make a note of your unsuccessful attempt at bribery.
Why don't you make a note that it was a joke? It was a joke.
Now, I've dropped by, Mr. Ireland, because we're reviewing selected cases...
of gratuity-intensive occupations.
It seems that some people don't report their full incomes.
Really? In this country? I know about you people.
I know about the 50-dollar handshakes. I was gonna report this.
No doubt. You interest me, Mr. Ireland. And is it my eyes, Ed?
You can laugh all you like, Mr. Ireland. Laugh away.
I can assure you, your government is not laughing.
We're not a bunch of simpering apes here for your amusement. I'm not going away.
Now how does a man with your salary take a 40,000-dollar option on real estate?
That's very easy to explain. Well, there will be a time for explanations.
Now, here is a notification of your field audit. I'll be back...
on the 1 5th at 4:00 P.M.; have your documentation ready.
I count the hours 'til we meet again. I got Leona. I'll get you.
Yeah, no cheese. I'm tellin' you, they're cheese intolerant, all right? Bye.
You's got a certain party registered here...
under the name of a real dickhead, name of Gene Salvatore?
He registered here? He here?
Uh, dickhead, dickhead.
Um, is there someone I should say is calling?
Yeah, we got a surprise for him. You could tell him Joey Pickles says hello.
Tell him that. No, you can't tell him that. It'll ruin the surprise.
- Yeah, you can't tell him that. - What are you, some kind of blabby rat bastard?
- ''Gene Salvatore. 1 950.'' - [ Gulps ]

Happy birthday, Gene. Happy birthday.
I'd just like to say that tonight's lodgings are complimentary.
Ahh. Thank you, kid.
I owe you one.
Hi, hon. Hi.
Good night. Good night.
Good luck.
**[''Happy Days Are Here Again'' In German ]
Duck Duck
I am enjoying positive humors this morning. Why? That new whip come in?
I spent some very pleasant time with a man from the tax bureau.
Drinkwasser? Well, I don't think there's any problem.
Correct. There's no problem. Mr. Drinkwasser assured us...
that the hotel is not a subject of inquiry; only you, Duck.
So I told him I would gaily cooperate. I'm glad you found a new friend.
Mmm, yes, Duck. What times we had.
But he seemed particularly interested in a deduction you've been claiming...
on a property on ''Roosenfeld'' Island.
Roosevelt. President, statesman, war hero.
Quite. He spoke of liens, attachments, disciplines.
You know, my attention wandered.
You know, Mr. Himmelman, I think this is the first time I've ever seen you smile.
Yes, Duck. I'm enjoying positive humor today. [ wheels Squeaking ]
Milton, guten morgen
**[''Happy Days Are Here Again'' Continues ]
You're on track. I am?
I'm having some very good people go over it. So far, no red flags.
Have you a lawyer by the way? Uh, not-- not yet.
Hmm. I'll lend you one of mine.
Ah, I got my trainer in two minutes. Listen, would you do me a favor?
Sure. Andy's singing in a little club.
Coogan's, I think it's called. I'm supposed to go, and I absolutely cannot.
Go along, clap loudly and see her home for me. What do you want me to tell her?
Just make me sound forlorn.
Forlorn?
*Every time I hear the classics *
* My pulse quickens *
* Ooh, I need a man who knows his * [ Gasps ]
* From his Dickens *
* I could love a man who uses his head *
* For more than findin' his shoes under the bed *
*Hey, Fido Try usin'your nose *
* You'll find where those toes goes *
* I could love a man who uses his head *
* In case you've already forgotten *
* What I just said *
*I could love a man who * [ Gasps ]
* Uses his head *
* Ooh, yeah **
Yeah
That was great.
Is someone sitting here? Yes.
You know, I think that's where you're mistaken. Why am I mistaken?
Christian said to tell you he was unavoidably detained. Oh.
Yeah, afraid so. And he sent you scurrying over to tell me?
Well, I didn't scurry. I don't scurry.
I take the subway like any other animal.
Christian and I have formed this friendship wherein we do each other favors.
For instance, right now, he's at the 7-Eleven getting me a Slurpee.
About the other day...
you kind of took me by surprise, you know.
I'm sorry. Where is he?
I told ya. I really wanted a Slurpee. No. Really.
He said he was very sorry that he couldn't make it, and he was absolutely... forlorn...
and he had to, uh-- Did he go to the country?
Yeah. He went directly from the office. His wife's in the country.
No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, he went to the country. His wife went to, uh, a different country.
- She went to France. - France?
Yeah. It's finally over between them, and she was really depressed...
and she felt she needed to go somewhere where she could, uh, speak French.
What? Yeah, you know how rich people are.
You or I get depressed, we sit alone in our rooms; they get depressed...
they get on the Concorde and go to Europe. He left her?
Yeah. He just wanted to pack up everything that might remind you of her...
so that when you went out there, you weren't... reminded of her.
He's alone out there. Yeah, and forlorn.
I mean, that's the word for it-- absolutely forlorn.
But there was somethin' he had to do, and he's bein' a real brick about it.
Aw, that's so sweet.
Yeah. Sweet guy.
They didn't like me. They did. They did.
In fact, the guys at the table next to me?
They were very specific about what they liked about you. You wanna hear?
Uh-uh. Thanks.

Guess this is a tough business, huh?
Last year, I auditioned to understudy in an off-off-Broadway show...
that, uh, closed as the audience was walking in.
Ouch. [ Laughs ]
Well, why don't you just marry Christian, and he'll buy you a show.
I wanna do it on my own. [ Chuckles ]
Sometimes I see myself at 40 still squirting perfume, waiting for the phone to ring.
Hustlin' some last-minute reservations for some out-of-town big shot.
Anyway--
well, where do you live? Uh, East Village.
I'm on the Upper West Side. I'll get the next one.
Are you sure? I could drop you. No, it's way out of the way.
You were great by the way. [ Laughs ] Thanks.
Night.
Yes, yes, Mr. Drinkwater. Of course I have all my receipts for '89 and '90.
Can you excuse me for a moment, please? Milton, Milton
Is there any way you can come back and get this some other time?
This area gets done at 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. It is now 3:00 P.M.
I'm due on ashtrays at 3:05. Now, please
All right. Hi. Wait. What? No, no, Mr. Drinkwater
No, I'm not prepared to give a statement of all my net assets at this time
[ Ringing ] [ Snapping Fingers ]
Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean, you're in touch...
with Christian Hanover's office? Bar. Yeah, hold on.
What business deal?
It's possible the guy may have come into the hotel, but I do not know Christian Hanover.
It's for you. It's the guy you don't know.
All right. Mr. Drinkwater, I'm gonna have to put you on hold
[ Beep ] Christian, good afternoon.
Not at this end, sport. Andy called here.
As we speak, she's on a bus on her way out here with the impression...
that I am all alone here pining away; that's a scenario she apparently got from you.
The problem is, Doug, I am not alone. Quite the contrary.
My wife and I have our annual Memorial Day picnic, thank you very much.
What in the hell am I suppose to do? Christian, I'll handle it.
What's your address?
91 3 Dune Road, Southampton.
Which means it will take you several days to get out here.
All right, Christian, I'm gonna have to put you on hold.
Look, go. Go
Okay, 91 3 Dune Road. Don't worry, sir. I'll be there.
- Mr. Drinkwater. - Mr. Hanover.
Uh, Christian, I can do this.
I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who can get--
[ Vacuum Stops ] Trust me, sir.
- How do you know Chuck? - I don't know Chuck.
I know Eddie Schacter. Eddie knows Jerry Levine. Jerry knows George Spitzer.
George knows Chuck. Small world.
Yeah.
[ Pilot ] Look at these homes, huh? Unbelievable.
Ten, 20 million dollars. Do you think these people are happy?

but a strange man just jumped out of a helicopter and attacked Priscilla Bailey.

But, Doug--
Doug. Doug. I just wanted to say good-bye.
We had a wonderful time. So long, old bean. What are you doing here?
I'm saving you from a very embarrassing mistake. Saving me?
You're the one that told me Christian was alone. You said Eleanor was in France.
It was French class. She's agreed to the divorce, and you're gonna ruin everything.
She has? Yeah, sure.
How can they have this party? To keep up appearances.
It's a pre-divorce party. They're very big in the Hamptons.
Anyway, this is a bad one 'cause he's over there, and she's over there.
- Yeah, I guess so. Hi. - Let's go.
Is that her? Yeah.
She's very pretty. She is, and he's leavin'her for you.
Come on, let's go. Well, this is really embarrassing.
She shouldn't have to find out that I'm having an affair with her husband.
What did you say? We gotta go.
Were you talking about me? Oh, God.
I'm so sorry. What a horrible way to find out.
Please forgive me.
I can't-- This is--
Excuse me. Thanks.
Randall.!
Yes, my angel on earth?
I guess it's time to go. Drinkwater. I'm not thirsty.
I thought we were leaving.
- Ever wonder how many bathrooms a place like this has? - Her
I don't know that woman. She seems to know you pretty well, Randall.
- Five on this floor already. - I wanna talk to her.!
Um, now is not a good time. That woman just told...
my wife she's having an affair with me. She had the wrong woman.
It was an honest mistake. She thought your wife was Mrs. Bailey.

I wanna save the Baileys from the kind of hell you and Mrs....

I hate Christian's bullshit.
Me too. I just hide in here until everybody goes.
You have everything you need right here: champagne, cigarettes, hors d'oeuvre.
I love hors d'oeuvre. Don't you just love hors d'oeuvre? [ Sniffing ]

How did my secretary get here? It's not your secretary.
Then who is it? I don't know who she is.
Well, whoever she is, don't let her out.
- Who is it this time? - Could somebody please get us another bottle of champagne?
My God,Josh, it's a man It's Julian Russell.
who's the woman? Maybe theJulian Russell girl.

You think you've got trouble? My husband's screwing Julian Russell.

No? I accidentally told his wife we were having an affair. You didn't tell her.
I did. She was-- That wasn't her.
You said it was.
I lied.
I guess that would be the word for it.
She doesn't know? Nope.
The amicable divorce, was that a lie too?
Yeah, well, sort of. what do you mean, sort of?.
- You were about to make a scene. I had to get you out of there. - So humiliating.
Yeah, well, you'll get over it. I meant you.
You lie for him,you clean up his messes for him. Is there anything you wouldn't do?

She wants to think. Jesus, what is it with women?
Uh, yeah, I was just saying that.
Tell that asshole I never want to see him again
Is that her? Yeah, that was her.
Did she call me an asshole? Gee, I don't know.
- Something about tell that rascal something. - I said asshole, asshole
Asshole. She said asshole. You were right. My mistake.
Put her on, Doug. I don't know if that's a good idea.
- I said put her on, Doug - Uh, Andy.
- Christian would like to speak to you. - Not in this lifetime.
He says he loves you, and it's really important. Twitty English scumbag.
Not the response we were looking for, Christian.
Okay, Doug, what does she need? What does she want to hear?
Okay, here's the drill. Convince her that she's the love of your life.
Do a big number on how Andy feels and what Andy needs.
Like that. Yeah, okay.
That's your edge. Got me? I got you.
He's crying. The man is weeping, Andy. You gotta talk to him.
He understands how you feel. He knows you never want to see him again, but he loves you...
and he just wants a chance to say good-bye.

This is Mr. Doug's favorite area.

and I'm happy to do him the favor. It's really not necessary.

We are going to Italy. I was gonna buy a camera. I got a guy for you to meet.

I don't buy anything. I don't do anything.

I don't know about The Doug. All right, all right.
How about The River House?

Where do I check in? Uh, right over there.
That's the lobby. Over here is the dining room, elevator banks and that's the bar.
Eight different kinds of wine by the glass, pistachio nuts out of the shell.
You really can see, can't you?
I've been that way most of my life.
I grew up in a hotel.

Yeah. Not for my old man.

You see it? Yes.
I'm not going to be a 59-year-old bellhop.

I'm not gonna be anything if I make you late for Christian.

You been to Italy?
Eaten the food. Worn the shoes. Never actually been.
Christian has a lot of friends there.
Ah.
Two minutes to spare.
How about that?
I got it.
I had a wonderful time today...
even if it was 'cause you had to.
I had a great time too.
[ Laughs ] Anyway--
Yeah, um...
good night.
Hey.
Now what? I don't know.
No fresh excuse from Christian? No, not that I know of.
So what are you doing here? Jack Daniels, rocks, please.
It's a free country. I took the car back to the hotel, and it occurred to me...
that Christian might be late. Above and beyond the call of duty.
He should be along any minute anyway. Of course, he will.
Do you want to just sit down and get an appetizer or something?
Sue Spatz on the green of the par four 1 7 th at Hurley's.

This is our 20th anniversary. well, did it ever occur to you...
that she actually likes you just the way you are?
- Hey, didn't you say you wanted to dance? - Uh, yeah.
why don't you two get out there and give Mrs. wegman a wake-up call?
- Come on, Harry. - Okay. Thanks.

Yeah. Which one's your wife?
She is that very beautiful woman right there.
[ Andy ] The incrediblyjealous one?
Yeah.
You got a great guy there. He's made a very big effort for me.
That's what Doug does. It's his job.
He makes a living out of being nice to people who might give him something in return.
That's funny. I never got that impression.
I guess you know him a lot better than I do. Not really.
Well, I may be naive-- I am naive, definitely.
But he's, he's gone way out of his way to help me with my little situation.
You don't do that for money. That comes from the heart.

Julian locked himself in the storage room with the entire collection.
It took me hours to coax him out again. Anyway, I'm out of here in half an hour.
I'll meet you at our suite at the Bradbury. Hmm?
Oh, right. I'll call Doug and get him to set it up.
Uh, he's here. Yeah?
Well, he saw you were going to be late, so he stayed to keep me company.
He's a terrific baby-sitter. Put him on.
Okay. Christian.
Hey, Christian. How's the man? The man is busy.
Listen, take Andy back to the Bradbury and put her in our usual suite.
I'll meet her there. Got it? Yeah, I got it. I'll take care of it.
And, Doug, I'm going to have some very good news about our little venture.
Great.
I'll get the check.
I'm sorry about what happened back there.
Nothing happened.
Well, no, I mean, nothing happened...
but, you know.
I don't know.
What happened was that you got your deal. Congratulations.
Thanks. You too.
I mean, you and Christian, it looks like that's gonna work out.
Uh-huh.
Look, all I was saying was I'm glad that he called when he called...
and nothing crazy happened, and we didn't--
Nothing crazy was going to happen.
I don't know what you think, but nothing was close to happening.
Okay.
Well. Well.
So I can open this champagne now...
or would you like to wait for Christian? I'll wait, thanks.
Music? No, I'll wait for Christian.
- Would you like me to turn down the bed? - Why not?
Will that be all then, miss?
That's it? That's all you have to say? What would you like me to say?
Oh, I forgot. You don't say a thing unless Christian tells you to
You're like his houseboy, for Christ's sake
Well, if I'm his houseboy, what's your job description?
Damn you.
What's up, Doug? Hey, how you doing?
Everything all right? You look a little upset.
Uh, yeah, I'm fine. It was just a long day.
Where's Andy? Resting.
Oh, my lawyers assure me they can work out our problems with the I.R.S.
Come toJulian's show Thursday, and I'll have the commitment papers.
We're in business, partner.
Uh, thank you, sir.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I have some fences to mend.

[ Christian Laughing ]
Come on What are you waiting for?
Come on, come on, let's go
Come on, come on, come on Beautiful Beautiful
**
Oh I'm sorry. Whoa.
[ Indistinct Shouting ]
[ Christian ] Doug.!
I'm sorry about the chaos, but I wanted to do this in person.
I'm fond of ceremony. My kind of ceremony.
- Rather like a candy store. - All right, one second, one second, one second.
Beautiful. Good-bye.
Commitment papers. Sign them and deliver them to my lawyer.
There's an extra form there transferring the lease option over to my corporation.
I'm not the one the I.R.S. is looking at.
If you prefer to spend the next 1 2 months in audit than construction--
No, no, this is good. Thanks.
Good. Congratulations. Amazing.
It's nice when everyone gets what they want.
It hardly ever happens. Well, almost everybody, I guess.
What do you mean? Huh? Well, your wife.
Eleanor. You left your wife, right? God, no.
No, Doug, she's my third wife. You never leave your third wife.
What about Andy? Eleanor and I have an arrangement.
She forgives me my Andys, and I agree never to divorce her.
Your ''Andys''?
Is that a problem, Doug?
No, I think that's a swell arrangement, Christian.
Exactly.
[Julian ] Christian, let's go.!
** * we can get it up *
* we have got the power ** * we can get it up **
The Doug?
Yeah, done deal.
That's great. So, when are you leaving?
Right from here. I can't wait. Yeah, Italy will be nice.
It'll be good for us. No more sneaking around.
Really? He promised.
Andy, uh--
[ Cheering, Applause ]
Thank you, Mr. Drinkwater. I'll be in touch.
Who was that? He looks familiar.
That's just a man who helps me out occasionally. No one you know.
Hey, taxi Yo
Duck.! Duck.! Oh, Duck.! ''Duck'' you.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. I'm coming.
what? Oh, please, please, please.
Oh, Doug. Look, kid, this is not a good time. Come back in two minutes.
I haven't got two minutes, Mr. Salvatore. Now, I've always been very good to you.
Yeah, so? The dogs, the jewelry. I got you those little ''t'ings.''
[ woman ] Gene, I'm getting cold. Look, Doug--
You own United Carting, right? So, what is it?
Your cousin, he wants to collect garbage? Fine.
No, no, no. I need a very big favor.
Taxi
Hope you brought a good book.
[ Indistinct Shouting, Horns Honking ]
Come on, Freddy, help me out here. I got Miss Saigon...
I got Cats, Les Mis, the Grateful Dead...
at Nassau Coliseum. The Dead? Why didn't you say so?
Giddyap Giddyap?
Giddyap. Yee-ha.
[ Horse whinnies, Doug Screaming ]
Oh, God Yippee-ki-yi-yay
[ Horns Honking ] [ Man ] Get that truck out ofhere.!
What's with this traffic?
The I.R.S. Where?
The guy you were talking to. I remembered where I saw him. He's an I.R.S. agent trailing Doug.
Oh, yeah, Drinkwater. He works for you?
No, he works for the I.R.S.
But sometimes when I need someone nudged a little--
What do you mean?
I needed the option on that property signed over to my name.
Drinkwater made it appear expedient to Doug.
You tricked him?
And here they come down the homestretch.
It's GypsyJill on the inside. A brilliant stretch run by the great filly.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Hey, listen, you want to trade? Trade?
Take the horse. You'll love the horse. Horse?
An opportunity came up, and I acted upon it.
It's not in anyone's best interest to let that property...
go to waste in the hands of a bellhop.
We're going to miss the flight It's his idea, it's his dream.
Yo, mister, what gives? I can't--
You got 30 seconds to get this truck out of here...
or you got a date with me in the two-two precinct tonight.
Let's go Move it out Yo, let's go Go
Move it out. Go, go, go
Look, you don't tell me how to run my business and I won't tell you how to--
How to what, Christian? Tell me how to what?
To sing?
You've never even heard me sing.
I'm a very busy man. Now, please spare me the tantrums.
Just grow up, will you?
Yes, I will, starting right now. Andy. Andy.
Andy.! Andy, come back. All right, I'm sorry. Please.
[ Horns Honking ] Andy Andy
- Andy - Doug
- He's not leaving his wife - Don't sign. It's a trick
I just thought you should know. He's a crook.
He wants to steal your property. He doesn't deserve you
I thought I should warn you.
[ Mr. wegman ] Hey, Doug. Hey, we got a little mix-up here.
I never got the watch box. Yeah,you remember thejewelry guy...
said I should mail myself the box and then I would-- Anyway, I never got the box.
But I got the plans. Boy, they are just spectacular.
[ Doug ] Who is this? Harold Wegman.
Harry Wegman. Don't you remember? Harry
Wow, this is a surprise. Yeah, look, who do I make the check out to?
I don't usually deal in loans this small, but, boy, a hotel like this on Roosevelt Island?
- It's too good to pass up. - How did you get those plans?
Welcome to the Bradbury.
Never mind, Harry. I figured it out.
- [ Applause ] - Ooh
