Thank you.

We're both solid in all the banquet rooms.

What about the double booking? Well, the Asgore company took the marquee room

and put Manning Electronics right here.

Hiya, Paul.

Boy,

they make robots like people these days.

It's fine with me as long as they don't make people like robots.

Oh, and by the way, food service estimates that between the restaurants

room service, they expect to serve 2 ,000 turkey dinners.

Well, save me a drumstick.

Mr. McDermott?

You and Lisa will be with us until Tuesday, Mrs. Walker?

It'll be Christmas at the St. Gregory.

We're going to Grandma's with big tree presents and everything.

Oh, look.

Oh.

Now it's really Christmas.

Mother Tribe gave you a shrunken head?

It's a perfect gift for an anthropologist.

Where are you staying, Liz?

One second.

Okay, give me the number.

All right. Call you tomorrow, huh? Can't wait to see you. Bye.

When our Santa called in sick the last minute like this, I thought we'd never

find a replacement.

Fortunately, a Christmas spirit carried your call to the right ears.

You're so perfect.

Mr. Edmund, you can pick up your sanity.

I brought my own.

You are perfect.

Oh, just one small matter.

Would an advance be in order?

Say, ten dollars?

I hurried out this morning without breakfast.

Oh, payroll isn't open yet.

Oh, but I have petty cash.

Oh, cupboard spare.

Peter, can I borrow $10?

Thank you. Here you go. Thank you.

Kindness in words creates confidence.

Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. And kindness in giving

Who was that?

Santa Claus.

Oh, yeah, of course.

I like the St. Gregory.

And how much is half an order of toast?

Same as a full order.

My, my.

It's surprising how expensive breakfast can be.

I'm selling.

Excuse me.

Give the old guy anything he wants.

Put it on my tab.

That's very nice of you, Mr. Danny.

Tis the season.

Room service, ma 'am.

Then right on in.

What's your name, room service?

Ray. Open the champagne, will you, Ray?

You know, Ray, it is Christmas season, and I happen to feel that it's much

better to give than to receive.

Oh, miss, a check, please.

That's okay.

Taken care of.

Excuse me?

Santa Claus got here before you.

That is most unlikely.

Well, then you're about to receive a large gratuity.

Oh, I couldn't. That's too much.

My dear, this is not for you.

It isn't? It's for that gift you want for that very special person.

How'd you know?

One of Santa's little helpers told me.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas.

Miss Dean, that $10 you gave to Spanna, I don't suppose he still has it.

I don't know. Why?

Well, I wrote a friend's number on it, and it's the only way I can get a hold

her.

Oh, well, I'll ask Mr. Edmund.

Mr.

McDermott, you sent for me?

Ray, we need to talk.

from room 814.

Anything you want to tell me?

Mr. McDermott, she practically attacked me. I didn't come on to her. She was

drunk and I... It's okay. I believe you.

You do?

And we had the same trouble down in the bar. Seems she's the proverbial good

time who's had by all.

Besides, you've had some pretty good press since you've been here.

Thanks. It's nice to hear.

So I guess that's it, except that Hector needs a new waiter in the Carlisle

room. He wants you?

He wants me?

That's good money.

Well, it's not definite, but, uh, I thought you should know you're in the

running.

Thanks.

A dog, a big one, with fluffy white hair, in a video game called

It's really neat.

Periscope, and a baby brother, a real one.

Well, that's the best list I've ever heard.

It's just possible you may get everything you ask for.

Even a baby brother?

Well, for that, you'd better speak to your mother and father.

I don't think I have a father anymore.

He moved away to Paris.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's okay. Half the kids at school have one -parent families.

I'm not grubbing erotic or anything.

Very sensible of you.

I still wish I had a baby brother, though. I'd take real good care of him.

I can tell you're a girl who takes good care of everything she loves.

My mother's a lawyer at the phone company.

I don't think she'd be too crazy about giving me a baby brother.

Have faith.

Believe in Christmas.

Thanks, Santa.

I hope you get everything you want for Christmas, too.

Thank you.

He's a great Santa.

He knows what I'm getting for Christmas.

Oh? And what is that?

You'll find out.

Keep on the wood. The wind is chill.

But let it whistle as it will.

We'll keep our Christmas merry still.

Mr. Edmund, you are a happy man. I may have my faults, but being unhappy isn't

one of them.

And now, Miss Frances.

What would you like for Christmas?

Actually, I'd like to know if you still have the $10 bill I gave you in the

office. Alas, gone.

But to a good cause.

I was afraid of that.

Mr. McDermott needs it to find a very special friend.

Then it will come back to him.

Tell him to have faith.

Actually, I think he'd rather have the $10 bill.

Oh, would you put it over here, please?

Sure.

There we are. Now, don't go, young man.

You deserve a reward.

Oh, thank you.

They're homemade.

Good.

Well, have a nice day.

Oh, I'm sure I'll have a wonderful stay.

Nick, I want you to take this up to Mrs. Cabot.

Mrs. Cabot?

Who's this? Use this key to unlock the private elevator to her penthouse. Got

it. And remember, the best of service for Mrs. Cabot.

I bet. I got you, Mr. Willis. The best.

Room service.

Oh, come in.

You're new, aren't you? Yes, ma 'am.

What's your name? Ray.

Well, Ray, just put it down right over here.

Oh,

doesn't that look lovely?

Thanks. Yeah.

Maltese Falcon.

Did you know that Dashiell Hammett wrote about real places?

Yeah, Sam Spade's partner got shot on Burrett Street.

Oh, I don't believe I know it.

That's just an alley. You've got to be raised around a lot of alleys to know

Spade, San Francisco.

That must give you a lot of new insight into his story.

Know what I like about Hammett?

Every place his hero goes, it's mean and corrupt.

But at the end, he's still holding on to a kind of coat of honor.

It's like a... Like a modern knight?

Yeah.

Well, I didn't mean to get carried away.

Enjoy your lunch.

Uh, Ray, you know we have the Mystery Writers' Convention this year.

If you have any ideas for special events, come and see me.

You mean it? Of course.

As Mr. Bogart says, you're good, kid.

You're real good.

He's the electronics transistor integrated model 12K for office and home

But you can just call him Tim.

He's cute.

I think he's saying he wants to go Christmas shopping with me.

I think that is what he said. But then I'd have to do all of this by myself.

And Tim's my best salesman.

Lisa, time for lunch.

I hope she hasn't talked your ear off. Oh, no, no, no. She's welcome anytime.

I'll be back late and I'll bring you a surprise.

Bye.

Bye. He wants a bathing suit. Doesn't he know he'll rust if he goes in the

water?

I

know.

$20 is a lot.

He's just what my niece would love.

He's down with the virus.

Well... Has been in the window a long time.

Stress is faded.

Ten dollars worth of faith?

I think you called it just right.

Thanks. My little niece will be so happy.

I'm Sally. I work in the coffee shop. Frank.

Hi, Sally.

Stop by. I'll treat you to a coffee.

I'd like that.

Shall I wrap it for you?

Oh, yes, please.

What the hell are you doing here, Pike? You could blow everything.

Just a preliminary look -see, little brother.

What's the key?

Nothing. Try me.

It's just for the elevator to Mrs. Cabot.

The owner?

What, a horse kick you in the head?

Give me that thing.

Come on.

I want waxes for the rest of the suites by tonight.

You got that?

Okay, just get out of here.

We're not getting cold feet, are we? You're breaking my hand.

It's the St. Gregory I'm gonna break.

Okay.

Dave?

Another call.

Agnes Simpson, 622.

I've been up there twice already.

Tell him she can't work her TV.

Figures. An hour ago it was her air conditioner.

Air conditioner?

In December?

She heard a hot spell was moving up from L .A.

Move to the left.

That's right.

Now turn them around.

to the right.

There.

Now, turn him around.

I hope you don't mind, Lisa.

Oh, mind?

No. As a matter of fact, I'm going to cut her in on my next patent, a robot

children.

By the way, I'm Paul Manning.

Susan Walker.

How do you do?

I asked Tim if you were married, Mr. Manning. Lisa.

Ah, then I guess you heard Tim say that I was divorced, huh?

We're divorced, too.

Let's not bend Mr. Manning's ear.

Oh, my ear's pretty stiff. Doesn't bend easy.

Suppose we test that by my taking you both to dinner tonight.

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry. We have a tight schedule.

Come on, Lisa. It's time we went and changed. It's nice seeing you again.

same here.

Why can't we have dinner with Mr. Manning?

Oh, because he's a stranger, dear.

That's the trouble, Mommy. Everyone's a stranger to us.

Oh, it just needed to be plugged in.

How foolish. Not at all. It's a natural mistake.

Oh, you've noticed my girls.

My final graduation class at Holbrook School.

I taught there 20 years.

Best years of my life.

And now the school is gone, and in its place, a supermarket.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry, young man, to have you waste your time. I do appreciate your

coming. My pleasure, really.

And your cookies are terrific. Oh, thank you.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Not my job.

Will you find someone to take care of it? Here you go. Thank you, Ray.

Hey, Ray.

You're looking down.

Can I ask you something, Billy?

I won't get paid till Friday.

No, it's nothing like that.

I heard you did time.

Is that true?

It's true.

Now you're in security at the St. Gregory.

You did okay.

Listen, I won't tell anybody.

It's okay, Ray. They know.

What, Mr. McDermott, too?

And he gave you a job?

He didn't just give me a job, Ray.

He gave me a chance. That's all I needed.

Yeah, that's all anybody needs.

Look, is there something bothering you, man?

Something you want to let out?

Now, listen, I got to hustle. I'll see you around, okay?

is ten.

Thank you very much, sir.

Oh, wait a minute, sir. You gave me twenty, not ten. You're kidding.

Here's another ten dollars, sir.

And they say you gotta go to Tibet to find an honest banana.

Thanks, pal.

You're very welcome.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you.

Eight, please.

Hi, Si.

How did you get out of Vegas?

I am a very honorable guy. I give my old lady Christmas with the family.

Still rubbing elbows with the money, huh, Jimbo?

You still betting on anything that moves?

I don't do such things.

But I got ten bucks here that says this elevator stops twice before we get to

your floor.

I'll take it.

What can I tell you?

Excuse me.

I'm always lucky over the holidays.

See you around, pal.

Royal suite.

Wait a minute, pal. I think you got the wrong key.

I booked the room, not the Rockefeller bowling alley.

We overbooked in your category, sir, so we upgraded the room.

No extra charge.

Twice in one day, I'm lucky.

Oh.

Thank you.

And Merry Christmas to you, pal.

Merry Christmas to you, sir.

Thank you. Thank you.

Mom,

is it real hard for people to have a baby?

Sometimes.

All depends on a lot of things.

Do they have to get married?

It helps.

Mary Ellen's mom just had a baby with her living boyfriend.

They didn't get married.

It's a subject worth discussing.

Tell you what.

I'll be out of the shower in a few minutes.

Then we'll talk about it all you like.

Okay? Okay.

These will give you the rest of the keys.

Thank you.

Yeah. Don't get grease on those uniforms, okay?

You running this three -horse race, Junior?

Easy, huh?

My brother's concerned.

You listen to him, Stick.

Right.

This van will outrun anything on wheels, Ray.

Yeah. That's what you said on your last job.

Got two years for that one, didn't you?

So if you're walking down memory lane...

I have to remind you when you were six and I felt you were getting too much

family attention.

Yeah. You held my head underwater and nearly killed me.

But I didn't.

I've always believed in restraint, Ray.

I swear, Pike, you're not my brother.

You're some garbage the rats dragged in one night. I remember those rats. I

remember their eyes, Ray, glittering in the dark.

But I don't see rats' eyes no more. I see diamonds.

Glittering in hotel suites.

Yeah, well, I see a real sharp security guy instead.

Name of Billy Griffin.

Sounds like Ray's punking out on us. Stick.

Take off, all right?

What's your problem, man?

I'm telling you, it ain't gonna work.

How much you pulling down a week at the St. Gregory?

300. Did you ever fly to Mexico City, huh?

Did you ever bet... Ten grand in Vegas. Did you ever play the ponies in Miami?

That's what you want, isn't it?

Yeah, I used to think so.

But now, for the first time in my life, I got real prospects.

I like it at the hotel, Pike.

They treat me right.

Any of your prospects, Ray?

All six of them?

You didn't say anything about a gun.

You're soft, Ray.

You're too soft.

Liz used to wear long dresses and three -inch heels and was raised on cordon

bleu cooking.

And now she eats toasted grubs and monkey stew.

I guess you found it more fulfilling to help a tribe on the Amazon than play

society hostess.

Well, that takes a lot of guts.

I'd like to meet her sometime.

So would I.

Wish I could find that damn $10 bill.

Oh, Ray, that job in the Carlisle room?

Looks like it's going to happen. Congratulations.

Thanks.

Something wrong?

No.

I really got the job? A promotion?

Won't be the last one.

We'll see you at the Christmas party, huh?

No, Mommy. I've been thinking. If you got married again, you could have

baby.

Lisa, I am a working single mother.

Besides... I haven't met anybody I want to marry.

I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for that again.

Did you know when you met Daddy that you wanted to marry him?

No.

I guess I'd fallen in and out of love a couple of times before.

With other men?

Uh -huh.

Boy, what if he married one of them instead?

I wouldn't have been born.

Oh, baby.

If there's one thing I know I was put on this earth for, it was to have you.

My Lisa.

Give me a minute, then we'll go shopping, and you can buy Grandma

like.

But first, we go shopping for a baby brother.

And what would you like for Christmas?

I'm afraid I don't really believe in Santa Claus this year. Not believe in

Claus?

Might as well not believe in fairies or the Easter Bunny.

I do have a wish.

But I can't change things.

Can't you indeed?

Close your eyes.

See your wish as though it were coming true this very moment.

Now wish, wish, wish.

Did you sell all those scarves your sister knitted?

No. I saved the best for last.

Oh, Megan will love this.

She'll love this one, too. How much is it? Just make a contribution to the

family turkey.

Okay.

Ten dollars.

Perfect. You and Megan are going to have a warm Christmas.

I'm counting on it.

How about you?

It'll be Christmas as usual with the family and...

Good old Nate.

I thought you and Nate broke up. Yeah, well, we did. But you know how it is at

Christmas. You look around and everybody's having such a good time.

Start thinking it'd be really terrific to sit by the fire with someone you

really know.

Two is better than one.

Nate's not too good on commitment, but he's a tiger for warmth.

Merry Christmas, Julie.

When did you last check on Tim? Just 15 minutes ago.

Okay, we'll get a search started right away.

Okay. He doesn't drive, does he? He's worth over $100 ,000. He's my prototype.

Mr. Manning. Yes.

Have you seen Lisa?

No. She's usually here. I can't find her.

No, I haven't seen her. Someone stole Tim.

Think we just found partners in crime.

You're just going to love Grandma's turkey and cranberries.

Plenty of stuffing. She always makes extra.

No, Mr.

Manning's nice.

He'll know I didn't steal you.

Guess we'll have to run away.

Housekeeping still doesn't answer.

I'm going to have to light a few fires down there.

Probably in room 622 with Agnes Simpson.

Agnes Simpson?

Nice woman from Massachusetts, I think she said.

Oakdale, Massachusetts.

Yeah. Used to be a school teacher?

The Caldwell School for Girls.

You know her, Victoria?

Oh, she wasn't a teacher then.

It's a very pretty little girl with long red curls that I would have given

anything to have had.

Well, it seems that she's had half the staff in her room helping with imaginary

problems.

Sounds a little lonely to me.

Gentlemen, this is the St. Gregory.

The least we can offer Agnes is a little Christmas cheer.

I have a suggestion.

The maid says she hasn't seen them.

Where can they possibly be?

I blame myself.

I just haven't been able to spend enough time with her lately. Oh, you're being

too hard on yourself.

Divorce is rough on everyone.

Especially children.

I wonder if Lisa feels she just can't count on me anymore.

Oh, I'm sure you're a fine mother.

Thanks.

nice to hear someone say that well I

think we ought to check in with security see if they have anything

This is the way it works. I go to each door and I knock. If nobody answers, in

we go.

Brilliant if someone's in the shower.

Stick, I want you to look for cameras, watches, jewelry.

I go for the luggage.

Ray, you're the lookout.

Everybody comprende?

Let's go make a profit.

Ray.

Run away to where?

To my daddy.

He's too far away.

Of course I want to see him.

I know you want Mr. Manning, too.

That's true. We've got each other.

I wish my daddy hadn't gone away.

I still love him.

When he left, I was real unhappy.

I thought, what did I do wrong?

But you know what, Tim?

Was it anything I'd done?

People just change, I guess.

That's why I wanted a special friend, a brother.

We'd always be together.

I wish Mommy was here. I'm getting scared.

Don't cry, Tim.

I'll cry, too.

Mrs. Gunderson almost burned down the school making her banana champagne.

You know, she almost did it again two years before she retired. You're joking.

Oh, it's a great old place.

And next term, when you begin at your new school, you'll make new friends,

new memories.

I know.

Oh, I'm sorry, Vicki.

I've allowed myself to turn into a lonely old crank, bothering your staff

that. You didn't bother anyone.

And least of all me.

I've loved seeing you again.

Merry Christmas, Agnes.

Merry Christmas.

Cabbage has called. He's decided to relocate the Christmas party.

Impossible. There are so many floors.

Oh, poor Lisa.

Oh, I know how you must feel.

Tim's only a robot, but sometimes I feel like... Well, I guess I'm sort of

attached to him.

You don't have any children?

No, no, my wife didn't want any. That's partly the reason we split up.

I'm sorry.

I've worked my whole life to be a success, but it just doesn't seem to

when you don't have a family to share it.

Oh, Paul.

What am I going to do if anything happens to her? Oh, don't worry.

Tim's a very reliable guy.

Come

on,

you've hit every damn sweet. Let's get out of here.

I've already got enough for my ticket to Rio.

We're hitting the penthouse.

No way, Mrs. Cabot. It's off limits to you.

I am walking out of here with everything that ain't nailed down. That includes

the contents of the Cabot face.

He said no.

Move it.

We are hitting the Cabot suite. We're hitting it now.

Christine, glad I caught up with you. Here's the $10 I got from petty cash

yesterday. Oh, great.

Oh, except I already locked up the box for them. Eh, put it in there tomorrow.

Good enough.

We better hope someone didn't be late.

Don't you get fed up with car chases, Tim?

Well, you're just a baby.

Wait till you see Dynasty.

You should be sorry. You must scare her to death.

Who

is

it? Room service.

Room service?

But, um... But I didn't order anything.

This is the season for tearing.

We would like to share our dark Christmas party with you.

A party?

I can't believe it.

And I thought Santa was out of date.

Nothing is out of date when you believe.

Best wishes, Mrs. Simpson.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you all.

You, uh, you want one of your presents now?

No, I'd rather wait till tomorrow.

You're, you're sure?

Yeah.

I'm sure.

You're positive.

Well, not 100 % positive.

Great.

Then you want it.

Okay, we have it.

Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

There are people who tell you that

Christmas isn't... what it used to be.

Well, take a look around.

Some of us are a long way from our families.

I'd like to think that we have kind of a family here at St.

Gregory.

There are no strangers here, only friends that we have yet to meet.

So fill your glasses, have a Merry Christmas, and may we always be

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Peter.

Merry Christmas, Peter.

Hey,

no wonder you didn't want me up here.

What are you, a teacher's pet?

What are you talking about?

Mrs. Hyde decided he bought you a Christmas present.

Did anyone actually see me, sir? No, but the maid heard something in the closet.

out, come out wherever you are.

Oh, thank God. Mommy.

Come on.

I'm sorry, Mr. Manning. I didn't mean to steal Tim.

Well, there's no need to be sorry, Lisa. I know you didn't mean any harm.

Well, if the adventure's over, you'll excuse me. Thank you very much, Mr.

Griffin. All part of the job.

Uh -huh.

Tim. Uh -huh. You take care of your sister, you hear?

Uh -huh.

Mommy,

Tim wants to know if he and Mr. Manning can come with us to Grandma's tonight.

Oh, of course.

That is, if Mr. Manning has no other plans.

Oh, well, uh...

No.

Well, then, if you please, Paul.

I please. I do indeed.

Do you hear that, Tim? She called him Paul.

I suggest you stay real quiet.

What do you want from me?

First, you're going to open that safe.

Come on.

Come on!

Let's get out of here.

Now.

I'm sorry to see you here, Ray.

I'm sorry, too.

It's a sad world. Everybody's sorry, especially you, lady, if you don't open

that safe.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, yes.

Peter.

Security.

The security said the alarm went off in Mrs. Cabot's suite. I'll take the

stairway. You take the elevator. Right.

I'm not going to have to force you to open that safe, am I?

I'm not opening anything for you.

Stick, you get that stuff down into the van.

Now you're dealing.

Last call, Tiger Lady. Please, Mrs. Cabot, do it.

He'll kill you.

You won't kill me.

I won't scream bloody murder, and you won't kill me.

Sorry, lady, you just flunked basic psychology.

I know it's Christmas, sucker, but do you really want to sing with the angels

tonight?

See? The important thing is to stay alive.

Am I right? Leave her alone, Pike.

Am I right?

In your own psychotic way, I suppose you have a point.

You! Now!

You all right, Victoria?

I am, now that the cavalry has arrived.

This is McDermott.

Send Dr. Ziegler up to Miss Cabot's suite.

Emergency. Gunshot wound.

Ray, you tried to help me. Why?

He's my brother.

You people were more family to me than he ever was.

I blew it.

You did.

But there is such a thing as a second chance.

Yeah. But not for me.

Especially for you.

You know, that was my best Christmas Eve ever.

Just like being home with one's family.

I'm glad.

Mr. Manning, Tim says you have a wonderful Christmas tree at your house.

wants us to see it.

Lisa, are you sure Tim said that?

I think he did. He insists that we all spend Christmas together.

Mommy.

You know, Paul, it isn't good for Tim to let him have his way in everything.

Well. Well, I think what Tim really needs is a mother's influence.

I'm so looking forward to midnight service.

Some of us always go to the cathedral at Christmas.

I wouldn't miss it. Thank you.

Whatever for?

For showing me what a fool I've been and for giving me Christmas.

Listen to that Christmas spirit taking over.

Hi.

Oh, Peter, I forgot to give you back the ten dollars you lent to Mr. Edmund.

Thanks, Christine.

You're not going to believe this.

What?

It's mine, my ten.

It is Christmas.

I thought everybody knew that already.

We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New

Year. Good tidings to you and all of your kin.

Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

We won't go until we get some.

We won't go until we get some. We won't go until we get some. We'll bring it

right here.
