Thank you.

And I just don't know if we'll be able to handle all of today's arrivals.

Everybody's showing up for this celebration.

Relax. St. Gregory's been getting ready for this shindig for 75 years.

75 years?

Do you think Teddy Roosevelt ever checked in here in the good old days?

These are the good old days.

The next generation's going to hear about us, too.

Oh, including you and me?

When I hear a question like that, I think it's time for another earthquake

hit.

Come, everyone's carrying bowling balls in their bags. Ah, hard work is the key

to success, Mr. Kendall.

Sometimes I'd rather just pick the lock.

Where's Meg? She should be out of the gym soon.

Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get to see my wife for a whole minute today.

To the right.

To the left.

And one more stretch.

Up and... Good class, everyone. I'll see you next time.

trouble with getting into shape as I'm wearing myself out staying that way.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother. So some guy can lie to me and tell me he

worships my body?

That's one thing Charlie never lied about.

How could I have been in love with that stinker? At least you didn't marry him.

Sure seemed like I did. He moved into my apartment, he wrecked my car, and he

ran up a thousand dollars on my credit card. You just have to be more selective

about guys, Angie.

Only a matter of time before some wonderful guy responds to that million

smile of yours.

I'm way ahead of you.

From now on, I only smile at guys with a million dollars.

Oh, Billy, have you seen Mr. Cabot? Oh, I don't think he's arrived yet.

Traffic's backed up from the airport.

Only he wouldn't fly on his own.

I'm sure he'll be here soon.

It's going to be a wonderful anniversary, Mrs. Cabot.

Your father -in -law's going to love being a part of it. Yes, I'm sure he

And the staff really appreciates you doing the rounds in person, Miss Ramsey.

Well, I just want everybody to know how pleased Mr. McDermott is with the

special effort Housekeeping's making.

Any problems so far?

Get out.

I don't want you messing with my room. I was trying only to help. I don't need

help. Stay down your own end of the hall.

Why do you be angry with me? The room was not ready.

Ida, Teresa.

She was in here changing the sheets, Mrs. Anaya.

It was late.

I see the room is not ready.

How about that, Ida?

This should have been ready by nine o 'clock.

I want to see both of you in my office after work.

I don't ever want to have you arguing where guests can hear you.

Go on, Teresa.

I'm sorry, Miss Francis.

This won't happen again.

I just hope Teresa isn't overdoing things.

She's a pretty sensible girl. You know how pregnant women get.

Some of us go crazy over pickles.

Teresa's just got her work button turned on.

Hi, Dolores.

But I thought you said you'd be working through the weekend.

I am, but not in the gym.

Oh, wait a minute. This is the Windsor suite. We're on the wrong floor.

When a woman goes wrong, men go right after her.

You took this?

But how?

Why?

Told you I was through with guys like Charlie.

I'm into fiscal fitness now.

What are you talking about?

This hotel's going to be swarming with rich guys over the anniversary.

With a few nice dresses.

And a man to have like this.

Even an aerobics instructor might be able to hook them. You're not serious.

You expect to hook a millionaire over a weekend?

I got a lot better shot here than hanging out at the beach.

Look, Megan.

I really envy what you've got with Dave.

Don't you think I'd love to find a wonderful guy like him?

It just hasn't worked out that way for me.

You're not a gold digger. You can't even afford this place.

Hunk every penny I've gotten to this campaign.

Angie, I don't know what to think.

Think me.

Now, that's a sight I can fall in love with all over again.

The lobby of a great...

Cabot in.

Well, St. Gregory will always be a cabot in, Jake. That'll never change.

Everything changes, Peter.

Not always for the better. Except your favorite suite. I had to move the king

Portugal to get you the Tilden.

But I always stay in the Imperial.

Hello, Jake.

Victoria, am I glad to see you. Peter wants to put me in the wrong suite.

What?

But I thought we said the Tilden.

What's wrong with both of you? The Imperial.

The Tilden is the Imperial. We renamed it ten years ago.

I was running this hotel ten years before you married my son. Don't you

know the sweets?

But you asked me to rename it in honor of John Tilden after he died.

I did?

Yes.

Sorry, Peter.

My mind is getting like a piece of...

Swiss cheese.

Oh, come on, Dick. Relax. We'll take care of everything.

Hello, Terese.

It's all right.

Don't worry about this morning.

Thank you.

Miss Francis, everyone in the St. Gregory is very kind.

Well, consider yourself a part of the family.

A family that's about to get a little larger.

You take care of that baby, you hear?

My baby will be born an American.

When I think of this, my heart beats so fast, it takes my breath away.

Excuse me?

No,

I'm sorry. No, no broken bones. It was just an accident.

I mean, accidents just kind of happen accidentally.

Haven't I seen you someplace?

What? Uh, no.

Here. Thanks. Are you sure we haven't met?

I'm sure.

Excuse me.

Now, that's a great -looking guy.

A delivery jock?

Sorry, not interested.

Even if he's tall, dark, and handsome?

Only if he's tall, dark, and handsome.

Fine lunch, Victoria.

My compliments to your chef.

She'll be delighted to hear the source of that compliment.

She?

A brilliant young protege.

This wine is older than she is. Good for you.

I tried to hire a woman chef here in 43.

Put her down by the rest of the family.

Becoming a habit.

You know, I was thinking, you might want to sit in on my next staff meeting.

I'd appreciate your input.

You're forgetting I've been retired, Victoria.

By a family that judges a man's usefulness not by his ability, but by

of years since he quit. Teething.

I didn't go along with that, Jake.

But when the doctor said... Damn it, the doctor said another year or two. Don't

go back to Philadelphia.

Stay here.

Here? To St. Gregory?

I'd love to have you.

Because you think I can't take care of myself for what little time I have?

I put in full working days all my life until six months ago.

I'm an innkeeper.

What I need is a hotel to run.

That's why I want to help.

Well, then spare me your pity.

All I need from you is a card on my birthday.

Hey.

I don't deserve that.

My own son's wife.

And you helped them throw me out.

I finally figured out where I've seen you.

Aren't you the aerobics instructor here?

What makes you think so?

I came to your class a couple times.

Sure, now I remember.

You handled yourself pretty well.

You look good.

So do you.

Well, nice talking to you. All that jumping around must give you quite an

appetite.

They serve a mean turkey sandwich here.

Maybe some other time. I'm busy right now.

Mr. Passmore, the rest of the computers just arrived and we took them up to your

corporate suite.

Thanks, Dave.

Well, thank you, Mr. Passmore.

Can I help you?

Could be.

Do you work here?

I'm the general manager, Peter McDermott. Who are you? Perfect timing.

Immigration and Naturalization Service.

My name's Nelson. This is Investigator Turner.

What's the problem?

We have a warrant and a deportation order for one of your people. For one of

people? You probably wouldn't know her.

Domestic. Name of Teresa Cruz.

You could be in a little trouble, Mr. McDermott. Seems you went and hired

yourself an illegal alien.

If you know where she is, I'd advise you to turn her in.

You wouldn't want the St. Gregory to be an accessory.

I'm sorry, Peter.

I couldn't find Teresa.

Mrs. Anaya thinks she probably went home early.

Thanks, Christine.

It looks like you just missed her.

Well, we'd like to look around for ourselves, if that's okay. Not okay.

You came here looking for one girl. That doesn't give you the right to go poking

around, disrupting the rest of my staff.

Well, there's no need for that.

We'll just try picking her up at home.

If she should come back here, you'll give us a call?

Look, this isn't the FBI.

Personnel does its best, but it doesn't have the manpower to go checking every

job applicant that might come in here with a forged green card.

We know that. We're just asking for a little cooperation.

We'd hate to subject the St. Gregory to a full -scale immigration raid.

You'd think the government had better things to do than to hunt down one

frightened pregnant girl.

They're just doing their job.

Can we at least help Teresa with a good lawyer?

Sure.

If we knew where she was.

What if she came to us for help?

I guess I'd call Joe Braddock.

But I couldn't let her hide at the St. Gregory.

I won't break the law.

You know that.

I know.

It's all right, Teresa.

You're gone.

You're safe.

You're safe now.

I promise I'll have the check -in figures sent down to you every hour.

They told

me

you were still down here.

I came to apologize.

Don't be angry with me.

I'm on your side.

I said some things I'm not proud of.

Forgive me? There's nothing to forgive.

And then tomorrow we'll go to Stephen's grave and put some flowers down and

we'll have a long talk.

Oh, here's that prized young chef I was telling you about, Fran.

Meet Mr. Cabot.

Not the author of those delicious veal chops with morels we had for lunch.

A pleasure, Mr. Cabot.

I'm grooming Fran to take over our new restaurant.

I insist on being the first served.

Would you like to see the kitchen?

Remember here?

The way to an innkeeper's heart is through his kitchen.

God, how I miss all this.

Oh, thank you, James.

You think Tarek may be in the hotel?

I don't know.

Immigration called back. They didn't find her at home.

Oh, you want me to check around?

Yeah, if she's still here, she'd be pretty scared.

Maybe we can at least find her a lawyer.

Isn't it a grand hotel?

Indeed it is.

All those wonderful cardinals.

I've got parties coming out of my ears this weekend.

You know, always the extra man.

Almost wish I'd gone back to London a day early.

London? I adore London.

I couldn't live anywhere else.

The only trouble is, when it's two o 'clock on Wall Street, it's still 1952

London. You're a businessman.

Just a little bit of national consulting. Miss, uh... Archer.

Angela Archer.

Garrett Hardy.

Jake.

Tomorrow night is the big anniversary banquet.

But first, I thought we deserved a little party of our own, just friends

family. You look wonderful, Victoria. Stephen would have been proud of you.

You know, I've been thinking about him so much lately.

Sometimes I tell myself that if I think really hard, somehow he's still alive.

Isn't that foolish?

No, not foolish.

A thousand miles from foolish.

The most open secret in the world. All the big hotels and restaurants in this

part of the country employ undocumented workers.

Not deliberately, but they do. Why doesn't immigration do something?

Well, they get over 50 ,000 tips a year from informants, but there's no way they

can go after everybody.

I still think it's unfair.

Teresa loves to think, Gregory.

How would you know that?

Talk to her a few times.

I'm sorry, Peter.

I've given you another crisis, haven't I?

Never get involved with a hotel man.

And no into it.

Present company, except... Maybe not all hotel men.

This is delightful.

You know, I was so fed up with this social whirl, I thought I'd stay in on

own tonight.

of room service.

Instead, here I am with a beautiful young woman.

Must be tough being such a long way from home.

Actually, San Francisco is my home away from home because of Nicole.

Nicole?

My daughter.

Married to a local banker. They're off to some dinner.

You know, Garrett, you're a very attractive and generous man.

You ought to get out more.

Join an aerobics class.

Aerobic? Good God, woman. At my age?

Vince Wendt is a smart man like you by stereotype.

A good workout would be positively therapeutic.

The only therapy for a middle -aged man is a good wife.

I don't suppose you'd know what I was talking about.

Maybe I do.

More than you know?

Excuse me.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

What? Billy found where you hid Teresa.

Do you know how much trouble you can get us all into?

Peter, I'm sorry. I just couldn't let them take her. So you decided to break

law all by yourself?

She's all by herself, and she's going to have a baby. So you felt sorry for her

and risked the reputation of the St. Gregory? Doesn't that mean anything to

It's everything to me.

Would it help if I offered my resignation?

If this thing gets out of hand, don't think Mrs. Cabot won't consider it.

Peter, you're right.

But at least talk to Teresa.

You promised you'd find her a lawyer.

I've had a wonderful evening.

You've been very kind.

Who's been kind?

You're a very nice and sensitive man.

Sensitive enough to know that it's time to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Will I see you again? I have an afternoon flight back to London.

You mean that's it?

Angela, I'm at least 30 years older than you are.

There's nothing wrong with being 55.

Unless I try to act 25.

No lawyer.

In my country, I work for a lawyer.

He was a vulture.

This one isn't.

Doesn't your baby deserve a chance?

It is for my baby that I must hide.

I don't get it. If the baby's born in this country, it automatically becomes

American citizen. That's what you want, isn't it?

Don't you have any family who can help? A husband?

The soldier said... come to our village, and they killed my husband.

Peter, do you know what else she told me?

They killed her father as well.

That must have been a nightmare.

Are you all right?

My baby.

It does not matter what happens to me.

My baby must be safe.

He must have a future in America.

Give us a minute, Teresa. We'll be right outside the door.

What are you going to do? I don't know.

Follow your head and you send her away.

Follow your heart and you're breaking the law.

Nothing like a simple choice.

I figured hotel keepers keep the same crazy hours we do.

I thought I'd stop by and see if Teresa Cruz ever showed up.

Excuse me.

From that gentleman right over there.

Hi. Remember me?

How about it again?

It's lovely, thanks.

Thought you needed cheering up.

You looked a little down.

Oh, just a friend.

Turned out to be just a friend.

Sounds like you could do with a sympathetic ear.

I don't think so. But thanks anyway.

You know, I don't think you're as tough as you pretend.

That's what I'm beginning to find out.

You're a pretty determined guy.

Well, especially now that we're such... old friends.

Sorry, I couldn't help.

How come I get the feeling that you're going to Bathurst?

She works in my hotel.

She's a human being.

What, you think I don't know that?

I think there's nothing personal in this.

My own grandfolks were dirt -poor immigrants.

Udart Parish.

Sweet. Maybe they met mine on the boat coming across.

McDermott. Scotch, right?

Irish.

You know Teresa's prank?

Look, I'm a federal officer.

My first responsibility is to the law.

I don't always feel good about what I do.

Sometimes I think the whole country would have been better off if the

would have had tougher immigration laws.

You've got to be putting me on.

You're trying to catch a millionaire?

I knew you wouldn't understand.

I'm just trying to be honest with you, Mike.

Would you seriously think a guy with money is going to make you happy?

He'll sure quiet my nerves.

Maybe I know other ways to quiet your nerves.

Nicer ways.

Look, Mike, you're a good guy.

But I've been poor all my life.

You and a couple of other people.

I'm not saying I deserve anything special.

My mom never had a day in her life when she didn't have to worry about paying

the bills.

Nobody helped her.

But the last guy in my life left me in hock up to my eyebrows.

What am I supposed to do? Throw myself at a delivery man?

Angie, I'm not... Sorry.

No offense.

Can I see you again?

Sorry.

This is our first and last date.

I know where there's a good party.

How about it?

I think I've changed my mind. I think you should talk me into coming to a...

my God.

I told you I knew of a good party.

Mrs. Cabot's?

You've crashed Mrs. Cabot's party.

Well, I thought you said you liked to dance.

I'm going to dance myself right out of a job if anyone catches me.

You'll let her stay?

Just until tomorrow.

I called Joel Braddock. He'll be here in the morning.

I feel terrible.

I should never have gotten you into this.

You didn't get me into anything.

Except out of Mrs. Cabot's party.

Better get back. Do our duty.

Peter.

Don't thank me yet.

Teresa's not the only one who may need a lawyer.

I told you that I am crazy about you.

Oh, it's so unfair.

Why can't you have a little silver mine or something?

I guess I don't fit the bill.

Well, see, Mike, it's just... You're not listening.

I know.

Are you going to tell Mrs. Cabot?

I should, but I won't.

Do you think she'd send Teresa away?

No. Then she'd be breaking the law. I'd have to protect her from that.

Spoiled the anniversary for you, haven't I?

Forget it.

As my dad used to say, the McDermots are like old steam kettles, up to their

ears in hot water and still singing.

You know, I'd like to think of this as our anniversary, too.

The two of us.

I remember every detail.

The Germans wore gray and you wore blue.

I'll never forget the expression on your face when you found out.

told all the applicants the job was filled and just moved right into my

like, like you belonged.

It's nice having the same memories, isn't it?

Well, it's late.

Got another party tomorrow night.

Great, we got Peter Dutcher.

Yeah.

Well, we better... Peter, I can't tell you how wonderful it's been.

past few years working with you.

Same for me.

Well, if I don't get a chance to say it tomorrow,

happy anniversary.

Sponsor her?

Peter, my client is the St. Gregory, not some undocumented alien whom we should

never have hired to begin with.

But we did hire her.

Now, that makes her part of the family.

Yes, but only real family relatives can sponsor immigrants.

I mean, if the St. Gregory tried to get American citizenship for this girl, we'd

appear to be condoning the hiring of illegals. Suppose she stayed hidden and

the baby.

The child becomes an American citizen automatically, yes. Then they couldn't

deported. Are you kidding?

The mother would be put on the first bus heading south on the border.

But you said... The child could stay.

It would be sent to an American orphanage.

Of course, the mother always has the choice of taking the child with her.

Tell me how to help her, legally.

My friend, I can't. I can only tell you to turn her over to immigration soon.

Or risk going to prison yourself.

Mr. McDermott's talking to a lawyer right now.

I make so much danger for everybody.

Better it go.

Don't talk like that. You just hang in there.

Your California kid's going to be here before you know it.

You're really going back to your apartment?

I'm the biggest failure in the history of womanhood.

Basically, a patcher got a snake.

No millionaire?

A delivery man.

And I'm not making that mistake again.

Garrett.

I got as far as the airport.

Uh, I'll see you later, Angie.

You came back.

I couldn't stop thinking about what you said.

About aerobics.

Aerobics. My dear Angie, you seem to need somebody.

I need somebody, too.

I came back to propose that we try working out together.

In London.

Thank God you're here. I was just going to call you.

Okay, okay, okay.

This is Mr. McDermott.

Now, get Dr. Kellen up to 314. We've got a young woman in labor.

Teresa, try to breathe easy.

We've got time.

Plenty of time.

Just enough time to get her to a hospital.

And for me to take her off your hands.

There's no way I'm going to let her go. They'd throw me in prison.

Who's to know? My partner, who's on her way.

Tell her it's a bum tip.

There was a minute last night when I actually thought you cared about these

people. I do.

But I also care about the law.

And we care about a young girl who's only trying to find a home for her baby.

Look, Miss, the whole world is beating against our doors trying to get in.

The law is the only thing between us and the jungle.

So one government kills her family, another hunts her down.

When does she find a home? When she dies?

And

the

whole staff's invited tonight.

A real honest -to -goodness formal black -and -white ball.

Oh, and did you know they got Peter Duchin's band?

I can't wait.

Okay, what's with the long face?

Second thoughts?

Are you kidding?

Garrett's a dream.

It's not just his money.

I really like him.

He's kind and generous.

So safe.

Maybe one day you'll like Garrett enough to fall in love with him.

I could fall in love with him.

I know I could.

Only...

You found her?

No.

It was a false alarm.

And the kid is probably halfway to Texas by now.

And, uh, I'm going to go to lunch.

So, when can we meet them? I recommend the Carlisle room.

Try the grilled salmon.

Swedish style.

You know, maybe I'll try some of that Irish beer.

My baby.

Don't let them find me.

It's okay.

Está bien.

Your baby's safe.

It's a wonderful, wonderful party. Oh, I can't believe it. The entire hotel is

like one giant dance floor.

We've never had this many people here at one time.

Oh, I think I just died and went to party heaven.

Honey, you look great.

Where'd you ever get that dress?

Credit card.

At least Therese is safe.

For how long?

There's still a deportation order out for her.

She'll always have to live in fear of being picked up again.

What is it, Victoria?

Uh, Jake.

I don't see Jake.

Go outside for a minute. I need some fresh air. Of course.

Something wrong?

No.

Yes.

I feel terrible.

We need to talk.

You don't have to say it, Angie.

You're not coming with me, are you?

I'm so sorry.

We had a lovely time together.

I know that I've hurt you.

Perhaps.

But you've also given me something.

I have?

Something wonderful.

You made me realize there are feelings inside me that I thought long dead.

You're a wonderful guy.

If only I could... If only I could leave you knowing that you're going to forget

about this millionaire nonsense and find yourself a good man.

That's my whole problem right there.

You mean there is someone?

I don't believe this.

Are you all right?

Let's go back to the party together.

You go ahead.

Jake.

I'm sorry they made you retire.

But life goes on.

If you want to work, work.

What are you talking about?

Find another hotel.

A small one.

you can throw yourself into and make the best of its kind.

For God's sake.

Leave me alone.

Jake, I know what you're going through.

I went through it after Stephen died.

That moment when you either climb back into the world or you fall.

I lost my world.

Then build another.

I can't.

There isn't.

Time enough left.

Oh, the more reason to grab what time you can and live it to the fullest.

I'm sorry, Victoria, but you haven't heard a word I've said.

You're the one who hasn't heard.

You haven't heard how important you are to me.

How much I love you.

How much of Stephen lives on in you.

I need you.

Well,

I see you found a little to take back to London.

I'm afraid San Francisco's proved a more alluring loveness, Mike.

The way that girl talks, the only loveness that she's interested in is a

feathered with cash down.

Now, don't be angry with her.

She's in love with you.

Bull.

You didn't tell her about me. She still thinks you're a delivery man.

Now, look, when you... What's going on?

You two know each other?

Well... You got some nerve.

You think you can just show up anywhere, don't you?

Will you shut up and dance with me?

So, you have been hiding this girl without informing me.

It's all my fault. I'll accept full responsibility.

You certainly will.

But we've come up with an idea.

Now, Joel says that St. Gregory can sponsor Teresa for residency.

If we can prove to an immigration judge that Teresa is a valuable business asset

to us.

Is she?

Well, she could be. In her own country, she worked as a domestic for a lawyer.

Her duties included babysitting. And since the St. Gregory hosts so many

American dignitaries and their families, we could offer her a job translating

and doing many of the same sort of things here.

We got a fighting chance.

If you'll agree to say that Teresa is special.

You both acted without authority.

But in accordance with my wishes.

Everyone who comes to the St. Gregory is special.

Especially young mother.

Great computers, Mike. Harold got the checks out in half the time this week.

Thanks a lot.

What's with Mark?

He acts like he's doing business with you.

Correction. The St.

Gregory's doing business with Passmore Computers of San Jose.

You wish.

Those computer jockeys are worth...

Shall we?

Thank you, Mrs. Cabot.

It's my dream come true. Thank you.

What on earth? I can't wait to get started.

Could I trouble you to have your people call the airline, Victoria?

When I come to Philadelphia next month, maybe we can... Unfortunately, I'll be

in Vermont.

In Vermont?

An old country, and I've had my eye on for 30 years.

Oh, Jake.

Wait a minute.

You're not...

I made Fran an offer she couldn't refuse.

You're stealing my chef.

That's the hotel business.

Figured Stephen and I taught you that much.

Everybody say hi to the California chef.

Do you have a name for him yet, Teresa?

Gregory.

I think I just learned something all over again.

That we love all this.

Running the hotel and everything that goes with it.

You've been a big success here, Christine.

Successful enough to get my own hotel someday? You'll get it.

I'd bet a bundle you'll get it.

Oh. Well, if you have any money to spare, how about coming in as a partner?

Thank you.

Thank you all for being here with me to celebrate the 75th birthday of the St.

Gregory.

There are no words for what I feel.

There's only love in my heart for all of you.

My dear friends, the St.

Gregory.

Happy anniversary, Peter.

Happy anniversary, Christine.
