Tom, try and keep everyone together and look after the luggage, all right? Got

it, Russ.

Good morning, sir. Can I help you? Morning.

American Service Organization.

I believe we have reservations for a dozen rooms.

Mark,

will you take care of your boy, please?

Ride to Dodge City, kid.

Don't want you hurting yourself before you get there.

Leave my child alone, please.

Well, Mr. McDermott, I was just on my way to see you. Oh?

What do I owe the honor? Mrs.

Kropatsky. Would you like to kick in for going away, President?

Okay.

I know it seems like only yesterday, but 40 years have whizzed by and Mrs. G's

ready to turn in her vacuum cleaner. 40 years of housekeeping.

A lot of dirty linen.

By the way, Mrs.

Cabot says she'll match whatever you come up with.

Fantastic.

Wait a second. How did Mrs. Cabot know that we were collecting for a present?

How does Mrs. Cabot know anything?

And everything.

So Friday's Bon Voyage Day for Mrs. Grabowski.

If you want to use my office to crack a bottle of champagne, be my guest.

Okay, champagne.

I'll alert the freeloaders.

Enjoy your steak.

Thank you, kind young lady.

Darling, how much is all this going to cost?

How long have we been married, honey? Long enough for you to know better.

Don't care.

Would you believe we've been putting up with each other for 35 years?

Come on, I can spot a pair of newlyweds a mile away.

What'd I tell you?

This one's been a long time coming, honey.

Andrea, please come along. Weather's becoming impatient.

I think trips really take it out of me. I'm just exhausted.

Mrs. Harlow, the Goldfield.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Goldfield, your suite has already been prepared.

And this came in for you last night.

I'm in San Francisco.

Mother's going to see to everything.

Thank you, Megan.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Slocum. I don't know how you were sure

changed one room.

Just as long as everything is straightened out.

They'll give you your new room assignment down at the desk.

Oh, we were just finishing.

Mr. Slocum, I'd like you to meet Mr. Griffin, hotel security.

Mr. Slocum's group is holding their regional convention.

If you have any problem at all, Mr. Griffin... Thanks, but we have

under control.

Nothing like a friendly face to start the day.

I mean...

Charming old hotel.

Reminds me of the Collingwood back in St. Louis.

We can unpack later, but I've got some things to do. In the meantime, would you

like a sandwich or a cold drink?

Tell you what, why don't you take a look through the guidebook while I'm gone

and pick out some place you'd like to see.

I studied her file very carefully.

It's an extremely difficult case.

It wouldn't have come this far if it hadn't been.

But I've had excellent reports about your institute.

Thank you.

Given her history, Mrs. Schofield, I'm recommending a very aggressive course of

therapy.

Drugs, intensive interaction with my staff, hypnotherapy, and possibly

electroshock treatments.

Shock treatments?

Isn't that a bit archaic?

Not at all. They are a drastic measure, I agree, but the way we do them now

isn't nearly as primitive as it once was.

How long do you think this course of treatment will take, Doctor?

Six months, a year, maybe longer.

Andrea's never been away from home before. I don't know how she'll cope

me.

Well, one day she's going to be on her own.

Perhaps it's time she started learning what it's like.

He doesn't like to play games.

Andrea!

Andrea!

Andrea!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was your private elevator.

Oh, I'm sorry. It was an accident.

That wasn't no accident.

Your boy looks upset, Russ.

Well, that's because the old boy doesn't hear so good. I got good ears.

Then you would have heard us say it was an accident.

You know, people like you should have insurance for this sort of thing.

accident at all.

Wasn't anything of the kind.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I had some difficulty with the booking.

My daughter's disappearance is more than a little difficulty.

Security is doing everything they can to locate your daughter, Mrs. Schofield.

It's just that she's never done anything like this before.

But I understand Andrea is, what, 20, 21 years old?

Age has nothing to do with it.

My daughter is not well.

No one seems to understand that.

I'm sorry I didn't realize she was ill.

But the more you can tell us about Andrea, the better our chances of

her.

My daughter suffers from hysterical aphasia.

You don't know what that means, do you?

No, not exactly.

My daughter can't talk.

The words get trapped in her head.

She's been like that for ten years now.

But she can take care of herself, can't she?

Do you think if she could, I'd be as upset as I am?

My daughter is helpless as a child.

Thank you.

Roger, please, we need you. You booked him in here, Miss Francis.

All right, all right, I don't understand. What is the problem? What's

I went in there once, Miss McDermott. That's enough.

Meaning what? You don't want to serve them?

Not when people treat you like they did.

Who's in there?

The American Service Organization.

Open bar?

Yeah. Maybe they had one too many before lunch.

steal our jobs and destroy our neighborhoods.

We've stood by long enough while our strengths have been diluted by the

of inferior races.

This country can no longer be a haven for the criminals of the world.

We've got to come to our senses and send them back to where they came from and

give this country back to the people it belongs to.

White!

Native!

Americans, like you and like me.

How the hell could we allow them in? That's what I want to know.

A group of bigots wants to book rooms.

We should have said thanks, but no thanks.

It wasn't that simple.

To say sorry we're all booked up?

They used another name, Peter.

The American Service Organization.

Yes, obviously a cover so the people in the booking office wouldn't pick up on

them.

Excuse me, boss.

Billy has his hands full.

What's the problem?

Downstairs. We have visitors, and I don't think he'll want to roll out the

carpet.

But you can't demonstrate in here. How can you defend them? It's you they're

after, man.

They're all getting it from both sides.

You can't really blame them. Well, they can do anything they want outside.

You don't need them.

Quiet!

Please! Quiet!

What the hell are the knights doing in here anyway?

Some kind of a regional convention.

And nobody told me?

Thanks. Come on, Billy.

We just found out ourselves. It isn't changing.

Wipe out hate before it's too late.

Wipe out hate before it's too late.

Do we hold it down, please?

The man said hold it down.

Down and out is the only way, mister.

Peter McDermott, manager of the St. Gregory.

I sympathize with your protest, but you're doing it in the wrong place.

no right place to stop racism.

You don't understand. We didn't invite this group in here.

We don't condone discrimination of any kind.

Then throw them out on the street where they belong.

Now! Now!

We do that, we'll be guilty of the same thing they are.

You want us to leave, you're going to have to drag us out. That's right. Drag

out.

That can be arranged.

But you'll be doing exactly what they want.

Giving them publicity.

They're anti -American.

Don't you think I know that?

Like I said, if you use their tactics, you'll be giving them what they want.

All right, let's move it out tonight.

Let's not give the Knights anything to write home about. We can be just as

effective on the street.

What's

going

on?

Apparently the Knights of the Flaming Sword are registered here in the hotel.

You've got to be kidding.

They passed themselves off as some charity group.

It's home charity begins at home.

How do you feel about it?

More things change, more things stay the same.

Some people like vinegar with their fries.

But I think ketchup makes a lot more sense.

Yeah.

I'm not much of a talker either.

Words can get in the way sometimes.

Do you live around here?

You're not lost, are you?

You should have said something.

You mean you had... And I thought

you were the shy, silent type.

Sorry, I never learned to sign.

My name's Michael.

All right, guys, now listen.

If another reporter calls, just say we have no comment to make at this time.

understand?

All right, thank you.

Hi.

That phone has been ringing nonstop since I came in.

The media's all over us like a tent already.

You know, the last thing I want is for the public to think we condone a group

like that.

Why not tell the Knights we need the rooms?

Everything's been paid for in advance.

Too bad the check didn't bounce.

We're a private hotel. We can throw them out if we want.

I'd like nothing better.

But there's also the First Amendment to be considered.

And even if it doesn't apply to my hotel, the spirit of the Constitution

to me.

We have a contract with these people.

Now, until the Knights break the law, they are our guests and must be treated

accordingly. And I'll have to protect them, right?

I know how difficult this must be for you, Billy.

But what choice do we have?

Playing nursemaid to a bunch of bigots. Who bait you as often as they can.

Don't you forget what they're really after.

I know.

They're going to be very disappointed.

Because if they're looking to make headlines, they're not going to find

here.

We haven't had a chance to meet, Peter McDermott.

I managed the St. Gregory.

Oh, are you the welcome wagon?

I just thought you should know what's going on. The streets are swarming with

demonstrators. Well, that's your problem, not mine.

After all, we're the paying customers around here, remember?

You took our money in good faith, didn't you?

Probably under false pretenses.

Now, you're not thinking of violating our fundamental rights, are you?

That wouldn't be very good publicity for your hotel, my friend.

You have no rights in this hotel. This is private property.

So even though I give you the right to peaceably assemble, I don't like what

stand for, Slocum.

So I'd be real careful.

The department's doing all they can, Mrs. Schofield.

I appreciate that.

We'll keep you posted.

Thank you.

You have Andrea's photograph, don't you?

Couple of dozen copies.

Don't worry. She'll turn up.

Probably just got lost.

Thank you, Inspector Nunez.

Thank you.

They find her.

And if they don't, I know Andrea can't talk.

But she's a grown woman.

That's what frightens me.

She's a grown woman with the mind of a child.

Maybe I'm overprotective, but... She's all I've got.

The Knights of the Flaming Souls are having a convention here.

Really? I haven't seen anyone.

Well, I have.

You think a couple of old folks like us could have a nightcap?

My Aunt Sarah warned me about you.

She said, Carrie, that man doesn't have anything to offer you but a bumpy ride.

Aunt Sarah's wrong.

I'm offering you a little smooth sailing.

Looks like real high steppers, don't they?

Why don't we just go upstairs and get some rest?

I'm plenty rested.

Waitress?

I don't think they said high enough.

I sure smell something.

Maybe we're downwind.

Get security down here right away.

Don't you want one of those whiskey sours that you like so well?

It's getting late. Why don't we just go upstairs?

Just a bit.

You look so beautiful tonight, Carrie.

You think I'll go pick her up on the street?

Wonder how much he's paying for the privilege.

I wouldn't give that old hooker two bits.

I'm sure your mammy taught you better manners than that.

After she pulled you out of the garbage.

I would have to teach this old Tom a little respect.

Don't look.

Easy, buddy.

Hotel security, remember?

Look, maybe you've had too much to drink, huh? Have a call me tonight.

Looks like we stumbled into a watermelon patch. I'm asking.

You're real nice.

Come on, Russ.

You're gonna be real sorry you mouthed off to me.

I was a theater major at Berkeley.

I still have another year.

But the folks didn't approve.

They wanted a doctorate, not a mine.

Told me it was on my own.

So, now, I pass the hat.

It's getting late. I guess you want to get back.

Won't they worry? We don't want the fuzz on our tail.

You want me to call for you?

Well, maybe it's time you start sticking up for yourself.

Well, tell him you got a hot date.

This Mongolian beef is to die for.

Not bad.

$186 .23.

Plus Mrs. Cabot's match, that's almost $400. Mrs. Grabowski will love it.

Ten dollars for every year spent at the St. Gregory plus a gold locket.

Is that what it's all about?

I don't think it's what you get when you leave.

I think it's what you get every day when you're here. Really?

Well, today the St. Gregory let me play Halloween with the creeps in the sheets.

I don't get much from that.

They snuck in.

You know that?

Is anybody helping to sneak them out?

I feel really badly about that.

You know something?

I don't really feel anything at all.

Check that.

I do feel something.

Guilty.

Guilty about what?

Christine, nothing like this has ever happened to me before.

No one's ever called me names. No one's ever made me wish I could wash off the

color.

It's never happened to me either.

You're not black.

I'm sorry.

I, uh...

I'm really angry with myself right now, and I'm just looking for some place to

dump it.

You've never had a nightmare so you can't have a dream?

Maybe I just don't want to get involved.

You know, if you don't feel anything, maybe you can pretend it's not

It is happening.

And I feel it.

It's very painful.

Hi, Ms. Schofield.

My name's Michael.

I'm a friend of Andrea's. She wants you to know she's okay.

What have you done with her?

Haven't done anything to her.

We've just had a very nice day together, that's all.

You tell me where she is, I'll come and get her immediately.

She wants to come and get you.

Who's this Dr. Tilstrom she's so afraid of?

Look, I want you to know the police are looking for her. You're going to be in

very big trouble if you don't bring her back here.

I'm sorry, Ms. Schofield, but Andrea wants to stay.

We'll call you in the morning, okay?

No, that's not okay.

You bring her back here where she belongs.

I can't do that.

Sorry.

I don't think I made a friend.

You all right, darling?

Nothing ever changes, does it?

You got to put it out of your head.

Let it go before it twists you up inside.

World keeps turning and everything stays the same.

Nice don't mean nothing, honey. Folks laugh at them.

I can't laugh no more, Carrie.

Oh, yes, you can.

That's your gift.

Don't you go losing it on me.

Tomorrow we'll pack up and check in somewhere else.

No, no, no.

I won't go shuffling off like a dog with his tail between his legs.

I did that 40 years ago.

No one's going to make me sit in the back of the bus no more.

That's history.

It's me, Michael.

Just a bad dream, that's all.

Nothing's going to happen to you.

You never did that before, did you?

Yeah. I drafted a statement for the press clarifying the hotel's position.

How's it look?

Well, it may satisfy them.

But I don't know what I'm going to do about the guests.

Why? Are you getting complaints?

Bad news travels fast.

Well, you can give me Billy outside the bank with him.

Listen, anything you might suggest we tell him about the Knights?

Tell him the Knights may fall soon.

Here you go, Mr. McKinnon.

Billy,

you better keep your eyes open.

What's up?

Well, things suddenly get very quiet outside. You may have company soon.

I'll get Peterson to check with the guy at the rear.

Okay.

Peterson, I think you better check out the back.

Gentlemen, everything is under control.

No problem. Look, I don't need no jungle bunny fighting my battles. All right,

no problem. Maybe you didn't hear what I just said. I heard what you said.

Well, aren't you a brave black buck? I suggest that you drop the lid on your

toilet mouth.

I'm going to get you, boy.

Right where it hurts.

Anyone ever tell you you're terrific?

Clarence is going to love this little table card we bought her. But I like the

-shirt better.

91 and ready for third.

Oh, Lord have mercy.

Magnificent.

I'm not letting no night riders run me out of town.

Hey!

You're the kid her mother talked to. Yeah?

Must be your lucky day. Anyone else a fresh charge?

Look, let me go along. Look, quit while you're ahead.

I won't let your mother put you away. I'll find a way to stop her.

Look, I know what you're thinking.

I'm sorry I lost my head.

You just got there before I did.

I went down to his level.

And it really bugs me.

Guest in 314, Mrs. Fisk. She's on the phone.

Something about her husband and the night. I'm on my way.

Peter.

Why can't we just... Yeah, go on.

Why can't we what?

I could use a good suggestion.

Believe me, Inspector Nunez, I'll be keeping a much closer watch on her from

on. Glad to help, Mrs. Schofield.

Thank you.

How could you put me...

Don't you know how much I love you?

No.

You're not my prisoner.

You never have been.

You're my daughter, and I just want to protect you.

You're all I care about.

You're my whole life.

No, I'm not lying to you.

I have never lied to you.

I just want to do what's best, and Dr.

Tillstrom thinks that he can help you.

Andrea, he's our last chance.

We've been to every other clinic in the country.

Look at me.

I've asked Dr.

Tillstrom to take you on as a patient.

He's going to be here later on this evening.

I know he can help you.

He just took some people up to their room.

Oh, wait. Glad you're here.

I owe you... Four dollars.

You do?

That's what you gave me for Mrs.

Grabowski's going away.

I don't get it.

You haven't heard?

She's not going.

Can't stand the thought of retiring.

Well, why don't we have the party anyway?

We can't do that.

Can we?

Why not?

It's the start of her second 40 years.

Listen, when Dave gets back, send him up to Mr. McD's office right away.

will make good on the damage, Miss Fisk.

Doesn't matter.

Things can be replaced.

People can.

Did Mr. Fisk say where he was going?

You don't know, my darling.

You keep pushing and pushing and something's bound to snap.

I don't know what he's going to do.

Well, I'll find him.

nothing's going to happen to your husband.

Promise you.

So that they know what white supremacy is all about.

Not

only

do you talk garbage, now you look like a fool.

Stop it!

We'll teach you a little respect. We'll teach you a little manners.

If you boys want to make any more trouble, you can do it out on the

You got it all wrong, my friend. Our bill is paid in full.

We're not going anywhere.

I hate to disappoint you, but you've overstayed your welcome.

The law is on our side.

What law is that?

The law of the jungle?

Two chambermaids saw you break into 314, and you were warned this is private

property. The law doesn't cover vandalism, Slocum.

This is not a big refund. That's because you did such a good job trashing that

room.

I don't like anything about you, Slocum.

I don't like that bed sheet you're wearing, and I don't like the ugly

say. Do something about it.

We already have.

Not only have we sent you packing, we even packed it for you.

gonna stop us we're getting bigger and stronger every day maybe so but most

people see you for what you really are scared little men with big mouths and

empty threats selling hate don't take much smart

damn fool sir

but i like your style

I didn't honestly think this was the best thing.

I wouldn't be doing it.

Is this the young man you were with?

Andre, it's going to be all right.

I'll make your mother understand.

Understand what?

That she can just run off whenever she feels like it?

Andre isn't sick.

Just because she doesn't talk doesn't mean she's sick.

Andrea has not uttered a word in ten years.

You meet her on the street and you think you know everything about her? I know

that putting her in institution isn't the answer. Andrea speaks to me, not

words, but she speaks.

Do you honestly think that you can take care of my daughter and solve all of her

problems by being a street actor?

You're a very naive young man, and you're certainly not thinking of Andrea.

thought I was.

What is it?

What are you trying to say?

A car.

She's in a car with... Who are you with?

Her father.

There was... Something coming?

Another car.

That's it. And then your father swerved, lost control of the wheel.

A crash.

He was... I don't understand.

He was... He was unconscious.

and you couldn't get him to come too that's what the police said

someone else rescuers

pulling you out of the car but before they could get to your father

oh god andrea

an explosion

Flames. You saw him.

You saw your father burned to death.

Set, Mr. and Mrs. Fisk.

Compliments of the St. Gregory.

This one's on the house.

Enjoy your stay.

Second honeymoon.

Here we come.

Yes?

Room service.

Don't answer, darling.

We didn't order anything.

Look, honey, we can't spend the rest of our life being afraid.

done a mistake.

I told you I liked your style.

It wouldn't be right if you didn't join us.

That's right.

Better? Lovely.

One should never stop believing in miracles.

Well, you waited ten years. I guess it was time.

You can say that.

Yes.

You come and see me.

No one's going to keep you away.

Got to earn my... Thank you.

Michael.

Thank you.

No, Mrs. Caulfield, thank you.

all of a sudden?

You know, people really talk too much.

You trying to tell me something?

No.

It's just that there's so much more you can learn by just watching people.

Turn off the sound?

Watch the pictures?

Yeah.

Would you like to...

I'd love to.
