All language subtitles for Hotel (1967)

Harry! Harry, we forgot
to turn in the key!

I wanna drop it in a mailbox. Wait.

Give it to me!

Oh you shouldn't have done
that. They were very nice to us.

Floors, please.

4, please.

What's the matter with this thing, Cy?

Just old, Pete. Like me.

Did you report it?

I haven't had time.

I better talk to the
engineer about it.

Word's around Curis
O'Keefe's coming in.

Mean anything? His coming in?

Not if we can help it, Cy.

Don't worry about it, Cy.
- If you say so, Pete.

Come in.

How do you feel tonight, sir?

Hrmmmmmm...

You got a good suite for O'Keefe?

The Audobon.

Too damn good for that vulture.

But... He might make me a good offer.

Yes, he might.

Well? - And how
would it look to you?

The O'Keefe's St. Gregory.

Hrmmmmm... The O'Keefe's St. Gregory.

There's another way
out of this, you know.

That's worse than O'Keefe.

Joe Laswell's union telling
me how to run my hotel.

How we'd run the house, that's
not the business of the union.

Well I'm an old fashioned inn keeper.

I take care of my employees,
and they take care of my guests.

That's the way I want it to
be. I don't want it to change.

There wouldn't be that much
change in the operation.

Well maybe you're right.

But I won't talk to
Laswell, I hate him.

He tried to crack me too many times.

Listen, I'll talk to him.

I can call Washington tonight and
I can arrange a telephone interview

with Laswell for tomorrow
morning, now how's that?

That damn skyscraper!

Pretty soon I won't be able to see
the ships come up the river anymore.

Mr. Trent?

What do you think?

Ok, alright, talk to him.

Ok.

Goodnight, Pete.

Goodnight, Mr. Trent.

14 flights, I don't think I can...
- 14 or 40, we walk.

God, what a stupid thing we've done!

It wasn't stupid at all. It was
the only sensible thing to do.

Yes, Madam. I'll send
a boy up right away.

That's right, yes. Right away.

Isn't this the wrong floor?

Honey, we always get
off at the wrong floor.

Hi. You boys waiting for us?

Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Come in, come in, come in, come in.

What are you doing?

I'm going to call the police. - Are
you insane? - I will be if I don't.

Wait. Will you do as I ask and wait?
We've got to be very clear about this.

Geoffrey give me the phone.

Will you please give me the phone!

Operator.
- Room service please.

� This day and age we're living in,

� gives pause for apprehension,

� like speed and new invention
and things like third dimension.

� But I get a trifle weary

Mr. McDermott, the O'Keefe
party is just arriving.

Oh, ok Ted, I'll be right there.

Mr. O'Keefe? Peter McDermott,
general manager of the house.

Well I was expecting Warren.

Mr. Trent will pay his respects in the
morning, if that's alright with you sir.

Madame Rochefort, Mr...
- McDermott.

Nice to
meet you Madame, welcome.

Merci, monsieur.

My secretary, Elliott.

How do you do?
- How do you do?

May I show you your suite,
sir? Madame? This way.

Audobon Suite.

Speak English, McDermott.
I don't understand French.

I said Mr. McDermott was young
to hold such an important job.

And what did Mr. McDermott say?

That I was lucky, Mr. O'Keefe.

Slow elevator. Antique.

Very antique, sir.
- This way, sir.

This place hasn't changed in 30 years.

Did I hear music from the Delta Queen.

Yes Madame. The Jazz Hot.

Thank you.

Telephone messages and telegrams
are on the desk there, sir.

Mr. O'Keefe, the south wing.
Madame is straight through.

Umm, the tan bags are mine.
- Oh yes, Mr. Elliott is 10-03.

Is this suitable, Madame?

Is it a good city?

It's a wonderful city, Madame.

What is the water?

Big Muddy. The Mississippi River.

And the bridge? Where does it go?

It crosses over to Algiers.

And that's the new Trademark Building.

And over here's the
old French quarter.

You might find that amusing.

If I'm here long enough
I will try to see it.

Just stopping over to buy
the St. Gregory, Madame?

Can it be bought?

I doubt it, Madame.

McDermott.

Excuse me, is there anything else?

No. Thank you.

Goodnight Madame.
- Night.

May I help you unpack, m'am?

If you're finished, Mr.
McDermott, I think that'll be all.

Alright, goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Get Morgan up there.

Operator.
- Mr. Lawrence Morgan's room, please.

Mr. Morgan's room is 402?
Shall I ring? Thank you.

Yes, Your Grace. I
understand, Your Grace.

Thank you, Your Grace.

I can't find Dupere,
I can't find him anywhere.

Well see if you can find Art, or Sam.

Pete, the Duchess is raising hell.

Something went wrong
with room service

and we're getting complaints
on a party in 1216.

Well send Dupere up there.
- We can't find him.

You what? - We can't
find him! - Alright, I'll see to it.

Herbie, check out a complaint on 1216.

Well ask the House Manager
now, Pete, I'm pretty busy here.

Listen, you're not too
busy. Now check it out.

Ok.

Operator.
- 1216 please.

Yeah? Hello? Hello?

14 Please, Jack.

Hello, Mr. Dickson? Look,
you gotta cool it up there.

I accommodated you, you
gotta accommodate me.

Yeah sure, Herbie. Yeah.
Alright, I'll cool it! Ok.

Somebody turn the
radio down out there.

I could swear she bumped
my arm, Mr. McDermott.

I was just about to serve the
sauce and she tipped my arm.

I didn't do anything, Mr.
McDermott, I swear I didn't.

You never get complaints on me...
- I know, I know, don't worry about it Saul.

Talk to service and say I said to take
you off the 14th floor for a while

and keep you out of sight.
- Thank you, sir.

Yes?
- Good evening, may I see Her Grace, please?

I'm her secretary, what
is it you want please?

Let him come in.

Thank you.

Oh good evening, Your Grace.
- Good evening.

Good evening, sir.

I understand you had some
trouble with our service.

Well, not trouble
really, Mr. McDermott.

You see, my husband's had a very tiring
day at the Trade Council meeting and

we wanted to spend a
quiet evening in our suite.

And... And the waiter spilled
some food on his jacket.

Such a clumsy thing to do, really.

I'm really terribly sorry, sir.

I'll let the waiter go and the
hotel will pay for the damage.

Oh... I wouldn't want
you to let the waiter go.

We didn't want to make
quite that much of it.

That's very kind. May I have the
jacket? I'll see that it's cleaned.

It won't happen again, Your Grace.

Goodnight, sir.

Thank you.

Grant us, if it be thy will,
success in what we are about to do.

We ask thy blessing and thine act
of support in acquiring this hotel,

named after thy own St. Gregory.

Moreover, if it be thy will, we
plead that it be done expeditiously

and with economy.

Such treasures as we, thy servants,
possess not being depleted unduly,

but added and husbanded
to thy further use.

We invoke thy blessing also, oh God,
on those who will negotiate against us,

asking that they shall be governed
solely according to thy spirit

and thou shalt cause
them to be reasonable

and use discretion in all
that they shall do toward us.

Amen.
- Amen.

And now, Larry, how much am I
going to have to pay for this hotel?

I won't suggest a price, Mr.
O'Keefe. That's for you to decide.

But... May I?

But there's no question that the 2
million dollar mortgage coming in view

is going to make the bargain easier.

No change in that?

No, Trent can't raise the money.

But he's had an offer from a real
estate company that'll get him

out of half a million plus
some stock in a corporation.

They want to tear down the hotel
and put up an office building.

They'll tear down the St. Gregory
over Trent's dead body. Not until.

Then I'd say there's not much
stopping you, Mr. O'Keefe.

Well I've arranged a contact
with an auditing firm

that's handled the hotel's
business for the past 20 years.

What did it cost us?

2000 dollars. Do you drink scotch?

I don't drink.
- Oh that's right, I forgot.

Was it worth it?

Yes sir. This man McDermott's
increased the net income of the hotel

by almost 30% in the last 4 years.

While it's not enough,

still it shows what could be done
under the O'Keefe management.

McDermott struck me as being an affable
young man but, uh, not much else.

You sure this increase is his work?

No doubt about it.

Coincides with his taking
over as General Manager

when Trent had the
stroke 4 years ago.

What's his background?

According to the hotel's chief bell
captain, man named Herbert Chandler,

McDermott came in here as
a bell hop 15 years ago.

Trent took a liking to him
and put him on the front desk.

Then he sent him to the school of
hotel management at Cornell university.

When he came back, Trent
used him as Assistant Manager.

He's been very clever about
getting convention business.

and filling the ballrooms and
banquet rooms with private parties.

You'll have to give a lot
of thought to McDermott.

Why?

He's a hard case business man and
he has a lot of influence with Trent.

When you start to bargain,
in my opinion,

it'll be McDermott that
you'll butt heads with.

Not Trent.

What's his salary?

400 a week.

Well! I don't think
McDermott will butt very hard.

No... not very hard at all.

Hi.

Hey there.
- Hi Mike.

Dupere.

Listen pal, we got a full house
and a full house means trouble.

Just be here when you're needed,
alright?

I was over at police headquarters.
Reporting on a suitcase that got stolen.

Oh come on how much did
you win in the poker game?

Well if that's how you feel about
it maybe you'll do some checking.

Maybe I will.

I'm sorry. I'll stick on the job.

Ok.

Can I have 1415 please.

Clerk. Please. 1415. Please.

Exuse me sir. 1415, that's
the presidential suite sir.

What?
- The presidential suite.

Oh I asked for 1451,
oh that's not mine.

Oh excuse me.

There you go.
- Thank you, no harm done.

Hello? Yes, put them through.

Jeff! Geoffrey, it's London!

I don't want to talk to them.

But you must, it's the foreign office.

Tell them I'm not in.

Tell them I'm drunk!
Tell them anything.

No David, it's Caroline.

Jeff. Jeff! The post to Washington's
narrowed down to you and John Elsbeth.

You can see what
that means, can't you?

There'll be resistance
to Elsbeth in Washington.

It's yours, Jeff! The post is yours!

You must realise we can't
do anything foolish now.

I detest you.

Hi Dick.

Hello Pete.

Listen, Dick. Number
3 elevator's acting up.

Well, let's take a look
at the stamp brakes.

Relays are slow, Pete.
That's all, I reckon.

I'll see if I can tighten it up
tonight when we don't need 'em.

Were you asleep?

No.

Don't get too bored, baby. We'll
have this wrapped up in 24 hours.

Curtis?
- Hmm?

Why do you want this Hotel?

Buying hotels is my business.

This one is different.

Is it?

The excitement in you...
It's more than just business.

Mhm. Yep.

Tell me.

You might think me petty or
vindictive and I wouldn't want that.

I've already decided what
I think of you, Curtis.

I can't ever take you
for granted, can I?

Alright. Long time
ago I sat downstairs

waiting for an interview
with Warren Trent

for a job as sub-clerk
on the front desk.

Sub-clerk.

I used my savings to get to
New Orleans for that interview.

I was night clerk and
porter at a small hotel

about 100 miles up
the river from here.

The St. Gregory was the great
hotel of the south in those days.

I waited... I waited. For hours.

Finally, Trent came out
to take a look at me.

"He won't do" he said, "sorry".

That's really about
all there is to it.

Except that I, uh, I didn't have
enough money to get back to my job.

I was so sure he'd hire me.
I walked that hundred miles.

Does he remember this?

No. No.

But you'll remind him
when the hotel is yours.

Mhm... Yeah it's sort of
like coming full circle.

You understand?

But it's more than that too.

I want to save the hotel.

How sentimental of you.

Well, I've got a couple more
calls to make but I won't be long.

Will you be awake?

Of course.

Feature conventions, accomodate it
more strongly and I'll send it out.

Make it bolder.
- Alright.

Oh and here's the ad we're getting
out of the Vista travel magazine.

What about the 85th birthday of the
hotel? Are they gonna give us a write up?

With pictures.

Oh look at that.

Mr. O'Keefe's travelling companion.

The only way to travel.

Excuse me Mr. Mason, there's
a call for you in my office.

Ok. I'll get it.

Bonjour, Madame.

Bounjour, Monsieur McDermott.

You have fish! How pleasant.

Did you find the beauty
salon satisfactory, Madame?

What is your opinion?

Charming.

Then, it was satisfactory.

Come in, Pete.

Morning.
- Good morning.

Washington.

Yeah, thank you dear.

How do you feel?

Like a man trying to hold up
his britches with one hand

and climb up a tree with the other.

Hello.

Mr. Laswell?

Yes.
- I'm here with Warren Trent, Mr. Laswell.

My stopwatch is running,
you've got 3 minutes.

You don't have a stopwatch
and I don't need 3 minutes.

I'm speaking for Mr. Trent.
We'd like to make a deal, sir.

I make deals. Others accept them.

If your time's so important, don't
waste it splitting hairs, Mr. Laswell.

Go on.

Alright. You've been waiting to
get a foot in the hotel business

down here for 20 years. Now's your chance.
- What's the price?

2 million and a
secured first mortgage.

For that you get a union shop
and write your own contract.

When do you need it?

Like yesterday.

How much money is your hotel losing?

Plenty, but not so much the
trend can't be changed.

Matter of fact, it is changing.
- Prove it.

The books will prove it.

But I think you should know that Curtis
O'Keefe is in the hotel right now.

He's here to make an offer.
O'Keefe doesn't buy a pig in a poke.

Maybe Trent would be smart to unload.

Well if he does that you won't
get the same chance from O'Keefe.

Ok, McDermott.

I'll fly two of my financial
people down there this afternoon.

They'll take your books
apart. And I mean apart!

Don't figure to hide
anything, I want it all.

You'll get it.

If it's go, I'll pick
up your note for 3 years

and I want a 3 year shop contract.
- 5 years on the note.

3 years. We can talk
renewal when the time comes.

5 years. Don't try to
hang us up, Mr. Laswell.

Alright, but one thing.

We won't need an employee vote.

Trent's signature on the
contract will be enough.

My people vote, ya hear! They vote!

You mean you're asking me
to spend time and money

to set this up without any kind of
a guarantee for a shop contract?

I tell you, my people vote!

Mr. Laswell, I'm pretty sure our
people will go along with this.

If they don't, Mr.
Trent loses his hotel.

I think if he's willing
to take that chance,

you should be willing to
gamble on your end of it.

We'll do business.

Hello?

Someone would like to talk
to his lordship about his car.

About his car?!

Put them through.

This is the Duchess of Lanbourne.

Who are you? And what
is it about our car?

If his lordship could meet me outside the
hotel I'd be freer to talk things over.

If this is some silly prank...

You know this is no prank.

You and the Duke have already made one
bad mistake, now don't make another.

Where will you be? And
how will we know you?

I'll know you ma'am.

I'll be in a little shop on the
corner called Thieve's Market.

How very appropriate.

I thought you'd appreciate
the humour, ma'am.

And of course this fountain
here is restful and charming.

But a circular magazine, tobbaco, book
and gift shop, what's more practical?

Ah and these comfortable chairs!

Oh get rid of them!

If the guests wanna sit down,

let them sit in a bar or coffee shop
where they will spend some money.

And what about shops?
All that is income space.

And there's room there
for men's furnishings,

ladies wear, drug
store, travel agency.

Elliot, can't you find something to do with yourself?
- Yessir.

If I'm not taking you away from your work too long.
- No, no sir.

Ahahahahaha... Well
I don't believe it.

What, sir?
- The 20th century.

You know most of this hotel
belongs in a museum somewhere.

It's another era.

Too bad.

I'd like to ask you, how would you feel
about managing the O'Keefe St. Gregory?

When exactly does it become
the O'Keefe St. Gregory, sir?

I'm preparing an offer.

And if it's acceptable, I'll keep
you on automatically at $700 a week.

That's an awfully generous offer, sir.

I'm aware of the fact

and I'll be going against another
bid from that real estate outfit.

And I'm also aware of the fact that
Warren relies on you for your advice.

You want me to support your
offer, is that it, Mr. O'Keefe?

You've put 15 years of
your life in this hotel.

Now if they pull it down where
does that leave you, Peter?

I know all about you, Peter.

Like me you started in carrying
suitcases and taking tips.

And like me you broke through.

I need men like you.

You'll have a great career
for the O'Keefe chain.

I mean it.

Pardon me, Mr. McDermott, but
it's time for the staff meeting.

Thank you, dear, I'll be right in.

Now look if I could get
a quick answer from Trent.

I'll have my attorneys draw you up a
contract and we'll proceed from there.

I think I can promise you
a quick answer, Mr. O'Keefe.

Good man, Peter.
- Excuse me.

He didn't bat an eye.

I warned you about him.
- There's another deal for the hotel.

And it's not the real estate outfit.

I don't know what you base that on.
- The nose, Larry, the nose. I smell it.

Now whose is it? Where does it
come from? Hilton? Charlton-Combine?

I wanna know.
You can't hide a deal like that.

A million dollar deal like you
can hide a 10 cent poker game.

Find it, Larry. And find it fast.
- I'll do my best, Mr. O'Keefe.

I'll pray for you, Larry.

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Follow me now.

Who are you?

You've seen me around the hotel, ma'am.
I'm one of the house detectives.

I got lots of friends.

Oh really?

Yeah.

I got one in the place across the river
your husband's been visiting quite often,

on the quiet

I was talking to my friend last night.

Seems your husband was there like,
you might say, uh, stoned? Smashed?

Yes, yes, I understand.

You came over there in
the cab to get him,

but he insisted on taking
his Jag back to the hotel.

Well?

Well then I heard
about the hit and run

at the end of the bridge
that crosses the river.

An eye-witness report says the car
was some kind of, uh, foreign car.

Well I'm a curious fella.

I'm waiting.

I, uh, I took a look at your car.

Oh?

There's a broken headlight.

The chromium ring around the
headlight was found in the road.

In a couple of days they'll
know it's from a Jaguar.

Now if you're thinking of
getting the car repaired, don't!

Every garage in the state will be
alerted to watch for a damged Jag.

You know, ma'am. You should
have been driving that car.

I don't drive.

Well... That's too bad.

Cause I'd like to help you out.

How very generous of you.

Well I thought you might
be the generous one.

Say, ten thousand dollars?

And in what way could you help me?

By keeping what I know to myself.

If the car cannot be repaired and is
discovered it'll be reported, won't it?

You know, as a blackmailer
you're not very good at your job.

You thought I'd be panicked

and hand the money over to you
without thinking, didn't you?

No, now wait a minute.
- No, I won't pay you ten thousand dollars.

I'll give you twenty five.

If you earn it.

If you drive our car
away from this area,

I'll give you ten thousand
dollars when you leave

and fifteen thousand dollars when you
meet us with the car in Washington DC.

With that busted headlight I'd be
picked up before I got out of the city.

I expect a smart man like
you can solve that problem.

Twenty five thousand dollars?

What does a smart man
like me call a Duchess?

What do you call any woman?

I'll think of something.

Brilliant dinner, Warren.

You might like to know
that this same meal

is available in my main
dining room tonight.

Yes, well most of the big houses
have had to standardise their menus

to the general public taste.

When somebody wants a real dinner
this is still the place to come.

In New Orleans?

Yes, but I noticed your dining
room was empty tonight, Warren.

Well, a big convention
cleared out today.

Besides, this is the
middle of the week!

It's the middle of the 20th century!

And the hotel business has changed since
the Trent family built the St. Gregory.

Brandy please.

Thank you.

Now if you don't think so, you
compare my balance sheets to yours.

Well I've spent my life
maintaining my kind of establishment

to turn it into a cheap run joint now.

Well you can call it
cheap run if you like.

But what the public wants today
is an efficient economic package.

Old style hospitality
doesn't count anymore.

Oh a few of the smaller
houses might hang on to that.

But a big house like
yours has to compete.

And you can't compete.

Unless you think the way I do.

I'll continue to think
for myself for a while.

There's still plenty of people
who like to travel first class.

First class is dead Warren. Finished!

First class means travelling
for the pleasure of travelling.

The jet plane killed all that.

The great luxury trains are gone.

The big ships are designed
for tourist class.

The highways are channelled.
- Are they both down there?

There is no pleasure in the act of travelling anymore.
- Keep them there.

People want to get there...
- Excuse me Mr. O'Keefe, sorry to interrupt.

That's an extremely
interesting point of view.

I'm needed at the desk.

As I was saying, there is no pleasure
in the act of travelling anymore.

People wanna get there and
they wanna get there fast.

They want to get into a hotel
fast and they want to get out fast.

Now I have a blueprint for the future.

A completely automated hotel.

Ha!

Their baggage will arrive
by high speed conveyer.

Everything will be done by conveyer.

Room service, laundry, valet.

Even the bill will be
presented by conveyer.

Ha! You're talking about
a hotel for automatons

with punchcard brains and
lubricants for blood.

No, no. There will
still be people, Curtis.

And there'll still be innkeepers
with pride in their houses

and a personal interest
for their guests.

The St. Gregory will still be here.

If it's still here,
it won't be the same.

The same.

Mister Silverstein?
- Yes.

How do you do? I'm Pete McDermott.

How do you do?
- How are you?

Now take these bags up
to 3-10 and 12 will you?

Follow me will you?
- Shilling.

3-10 and 12.

4-0-2.

Yes?

Herb Chandler, Mr. Morgan.

McDermott just met two guys and
took them to the main offices.

Well what does that mean, Herb?

You said for me to keep my eyes open.

These guys arrived in
the hotel limousine.

They didn't register, but McDermott
sent their bags upstairs anyway.

The names on the bags are
Silverstein and Giotti.

The address is Washington, D.C.

Did you get that, Mr. Morgan?
- I got it, Herb. Thanks.

Operator? I want to speak
to George F. Lancing.

O'Keefe's McKinley
Hotel in Washington, DC.

Baby, I work here. I can't leave yet.

Buy me another drink.

One's enough. You're just
tryna give me the run around.

I swear I'll come through.

Hey, what hotel are you staying at?
- The St. Gregory.

I tell you what. You give me
your key, I'll come on over.

You can get another key at the desk.

How long will you be?

Just 1 hour. I swear. Come
on now, gimme that key.

50, baby.

Don't baby me. You think I'm nuts?

I'll give you a 20.

Nothing doing. This guy is loaded.
I seen his bank roll. I swear.

50?

Good luck, baby.

Jeff!

Jeff?

Jeff.

Jeff, it's going to be alright.

Dupere can mend the headlight. And he's
agreed to drive the car to Washington.

Of course.

What do you mean of course?

You sure he's only
doing it for the money?

Well certainly!
What other possible reason...

Oh come off it,
Caroline I know how you operate.

A smile that means so much more.

A sultry glance over your shoulder, a
turn of the hips, you do it all so well.

So far it looks pretty good.

Not as good as we'd
like, but pretty good.

41, 42... That bitch!

I didn't think it was
possible that a union

could invest in a business
that holds a labor contract.

Oh don't be a damn
fool! Of course it can!

Where the hell have you been?

Trent will give a note
to the union pension fund.

The note will be secured
by a mortgage on the hotel.

The union will hold the mortgage in trust
for the pension fund. That's how it's done.

It's legal.

I just can't believe it.

Trent turning the St.
Gregory into a Union house?!

He's fought it off all his life.

McDermott again, Mr. O'Keefe.

Oh right. McDermott again.

Ok, let's figure this out.

We know the real estate bid, we
can guess what the union deal is.

How do we outsell either of them?

How do we sell our own bag of goods?

� This year I can hear
guitar's gently playing.

� Strange they should sing
what your heart forgot to say.

How about a little Jazz
Hot, for the lady in yellow?

Sure Pete.

Any sign of a forced entry, sir?
- Nope.

All I know is that I'm out $500,
stolen from me in your hotel

and I wanna know what
you're gonna do about it!

Mind if I see this?

See, our hotel insurance doesn't
cover the loss of valuables

unless they've been put
in our safe, Mr. Kilbrick.

On the other hand a police
investigation might turn something up.

You were given two keys,
do you have both of them?

No, I guess I lost one,
mislaid it. I don't know.

Well you see, in New Orleans there's
a racket called a B-Girl routine.

A B-Girl takes a key from a man and
promises to come to his room later

and then she gives the key
to a professional hotel thief.

I was just wondering if you happened
to be in the quarter last night

maybe you dropped...
- Now wait a minute. I gotta plane to catch.

I can't get mixed up in
any police investigation.

I don't know anything
about any B-Girls.

I, uh, I gotta wife. Let's
just forget it will ya?

Oh we'd keep the whole thing
very quiet for you Mr. Kilbrick.

Nevermind, to hell with it. Forget it.

The last time I stay in this joint!

Don't forget to leave your
key at the desk, Mr. Kilbrick.

If that guy ever carried 500 bucks
in his kick, I'll eat my shoes!

What's your feeling, Sam? Do you
think it's a once only job, or what?

Well we've had another complaint.

A couple in 614 was awakened
by a guy who had the door open.

Acted like he was drunk,
said he had the wrong room.

Said he wanted 641.

Check the desk?

Yep, spare key to
614's still in the box.

I tried 641 in 614 but it won't turn.

Anyway, 641's an old dame.

I think if we do have a thief he'll be onto
us by now and he'll be working pretty fast.

Why don't you and Art and
Dupere stay on tonight.

Get three more guys from the
agency to patrol the halls.

Ok, Pete.

Operator?

Get me extension 2 in Audobon Suite.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hello, Madame Rochefort?

Yes.

Peter McDermott here,
Madame. I, uh, have your note.

Would it be possible?

We could start with lunch in one of
the small cafes, say around 1 O'Clock?

I think I should meet you.

Alright, it's a little
place called Le Moine's.

1 O'Clock. I will be there.

Goodbye.
- Bye.

Mr. McDermott please.

This way, Madame.
- Thank you.

Monsieur McDermott.

Bonjour, Peter.
- Bonjour, Madame.

What a charming place.
- Glad you like it.

Let's go through there.

Thank you, Pierre.

What would you like to drink?

Martini, thank you.

Martini for Madame and
bourbon on the rocks for me.

Thank you sir.
- Thank you.

Cigarette?

Well now... Madame.

Jeanne please. I am not Madame.

Curtis introduces me that way. He thinks
it makes our arrangement more dignified.

Which it doesn't, of course.

Alright, Jeanne.

What's this all about?

You have my note.

Yes, I have your note, and I'm very
sure you're not interested in looking

at a bunch of old buildings.
- But I like old buildings.

And I'm equally sure you're not
interested in a risky flirtation

with some hotel manager.
Not in your situation.

And what is my situation?

Oh I've a pretty fair idea
what the pearls cost, Jeanne.

That means you're here because
O'Keefe suggested it. Why?

Curtis thinks he is so clever.

Yes, I'm supposed to get information
from you... About the hotel.

Well he could have saved you
the trouble by asking me himself.

We've made the financial
arrangements. It's not for sale.

No?
- No.

Well, Curtis likes to
do things indirectly.

Intrigue amuses him.

I have a funny feeling I'm
missing something, Jeanne.

If you are so suspicious
of me, why did you come?

Curiosity.

Nothing more?

I... I think we'd better
leave it at curiosity.

Alright. You are only here for
curiosity. And I'm only here as a spy.

Now what shall we do?

Uh... How about enjoying lunch?
The food's apt to be pretty good.

Do you live in the hotel?

Yeah, mostly.

Mostly? Where else do you live?

I've got a place here in the quarter.
When I have time, which isn't very often.

Thank you. Your Grace.

You understand, of course,
that if anything goes wrong

and you think you don't have to pay
the rest of the money in Washington,

I go to the police.

Really?

But, uh, wouldn't you have some
explaining to do, Monsieur Dupere?

No. I'd just say I was paid $300
to take the car to Washington.

And then I heard about the
missing Jag, and I got suspicious.

And that's all they'd have on me.

$300.

My... Aren't you clever?

I'll need a note from
you to the garage man,

permission to take your car.

Will that be necessary?

Well it would be a bit
sticky without it, ma'am.

He might ask questions.

Would you excuse me, please?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

That's Rosey Ford. Joseph
M. Sica. Keycase Milne.

I think I saw this man in the past
few days when the convention was here.

Yes. I'm pretty sure
he was a guest here.

Maybe still is.

Alright. Show this around to the
bellhops and roomservice boys.

Right.

Who is it?

Roomservice.

Door's open. Come in.

I'm in the shower.

I'll take the cheque in here.

Yes, sir.

Tips on there.

Yes, sir.

That's the, um, St. Louis Cathedral
ahead of us. Built in 1718.

The place you keep your
apartment, when was it built?

Le Jazz Hot?
- A little bit of everything.

Would you like a drink?

Anything special?

No.

You know what time it is, don't you?

No.

It's almost 3 O'Clock.

Ah, what time are you
expected back at the hotel?

I said what time are
you expected back?

At what time are you expected back?

I was worried about you!

Huh?

Take off your jacket. You embarass me.

Good.

I once had a place...
- What?

I once had a place in
Paris almost like this.

It was the first place
of my own I'd ever had.

It was warm, and pretty, and bright.

I was in love. It was a long time ago.

It couldn't have been that long ago.
- Oh yes, it was.

I was 17 and I'm 22 now.

I'm sorry... I cry very
easily, at nothing at all.

It's a trick to make
men sympathetic, you see.

You're sympathetic now and
before you were afraid of me.

If he had not made this easy for
us, I would have found another way.

Or you would.

Am I right?

Yes.

Hey! Somebody gonna take these bags?

I'm Dr. Elmo Adams from
Philadelphia. I have a reservation.

Oh yes, one moment please.

Oh Mr. Bailey, this is Dr. Ad...
- Adams. Philadelphia. I have a reservation.

Yes, Dr. Adams. One moment please.

Mrs. Gurner.
- Yes?

Get Pete.

He went out to lunch.

I don't seem to be able to find your
reservation, doctor. When was it made?

Last night. I have a wire confirming.

Yes, of course. Well it's obvious
there's some misunderstanding.

Would you wait a moment please?

Get me the penthouse.

Bailey, there's a guy taking pictures.

Yeah?

Mr. Trent, this is Bailey. Sir, I've
got a bit of a problem down here.

I'm busy. Get Pete.
- Yeah well Pete isn't here right now.

There's a colored couple here
with a confirmed reservation.

Bailey I don't need to tell you the policy
of this hotel. You've known it for 20 years.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry about the delay, doctor,
but I don't have a room for you.

We expected some of our rooms to
check out and they didn't and, well...

We're rather pressed for space.

However, if you'll allow me sir, I'll
engage a room for you at another hotel.

No thank you. You accepted my
reservation. I want a room here.

I'm sorry, doctor, but there
isn't anything I can do.

Let's go, Mary.

Boy will you take the...

You are dressed?

It's late. 6 O'Clock.

Give me a cigarette.

Aren't you a little concerned about
your, uh, great and good friend?

I should be. But I am not.

He has been very kind to me.

He wants me to marry him.

But I won't.

Now... I have even
been unfaithful to him.

And I should be sorry about that.

But I am not.

I can't quite believe you're with
him just for things like this.

But I am.

Yes, I know. But why?

When I was left alone in
Paris, in that apartment,

When I knew that I had been used,

I said alright, alright Jeanne,

if that is the way it
is, you can do that too.

Tough kid, aren't you?

Yes, I'm a tough kid.

Well it's still 6 O'Clock.

May I come back?

But you're leaving New Orleans.

If I don't go with Curtis.

Aren't you forgetting
how tough you are?

Put your clothes on.

Seems alright, Vic. What are
you gonna do with the car?

I'm doing a favour for the ambassador.

Ok. Take it easy.

Was it too boring, baby?

I learned what you wanted to know.

The hotel is not for sale.
They have new financing.

It's almost 7 O'Clock.

Isn't that rather a long time for
lunch and a trip around the quarter?

Where have you been?

Don't ever ask me to do
anything for you again.

Jeanne.

I'm very fond of you.

What are you doing?

What's the matter?

Now Bailey just told me about
the negro couple you turned away.

Now I want permission to find
them and give them a room.

What?!

We've been over this a dozen times. You
knew it was gonna happen sooner or later.

You promised me you'd roll with this.

Well I'm not gonna roll
with it until they make me.

Why, I'd lose all my old standby's if I
start letting colored people in the hotel.

We've got statistics on
all of these seg'd hotels.

Their clientelle hasn't
changed one half of one percent.

Now look, Pete...
- Now Warren!

If this is a civil rights action it'll
be all over the newspapers tomorrow.

Laswell's union has a
large membership of negros.

He can't put money into a business
where they turn negros away.

He's gonna blow the
whistle on our deal!

Well why weren't you
here to handle it for me?

You know I don't understand things like
unions, civil rights, indoor ball games...

I don't understand the whole damn world
anymore, that's what I don't understand.

This is yes or no. Now YES or NO?! Or do
you wanna take a chance on losing the hotel?

Ahhhh go ahead.

WELL GO AHEAD!

Well alright.

Hello, Mrs. Grattan? Listen
dear, I want you to sign operators

and have them call every hotel,
motel and tourist home in this town,

and find out where a doctor Elmo
Adams and his wife are staying.

Now listen, call Mason.
Get him over here.

Hell. There's something
else I don't understand.

What?!

Motels!

Will you hold the line, please?

Hotel Beauvoir? St. Gregory calling.

Do you have a Dr. Elmo Adams
and wife registered there?

Yes. I'll wait.

Give me a cigarette, will you.

Yes, just a moment please.

Mr. McDermott. The Beauvoir
has a Mr. Adams and wife.

A Mr. Adams?

See if he's registered
from Philadelphia.

Bauvoir, is Mr. Adams
from Philadelphia?

Yes sir.
- Get him on.

Ring his room please, operator.

Hello, um, Dr. Adams?

Well excuse me, are you the Dr. Adams who
was in the Hotel St. Gregory this afternoon?

Yes.

Oh this is Peter McDermott, I'm
general manager of the St. Gregory.

I'm terribly sorry about the mix up this
afternoon we've been trying to locate you.

We have a room for you and your wife now.
- Well, I'm checked in here now.

Well the St. Gregory will be
happy to pick up your bill, doctor.

If I may, I'll come on over in
the limousine and pick you up.

Well that's mighty nice
of you, Mr. McDermott.

Excuse me.

Ah yes sir?

Could you call Dr. Elmo Adams, tell
him the St. Gregory car is here.

Well, E. Adams and wife
just checked out, sir.

I talked to him 20 minutes
ago. He was expecting me.

Ah, yes, I know.

Did he say where he was going?

No sir.

Do you mind if I see his card?

Thank you.

Mr. McDermott.

If you're think of
de-segging the St. Gregory,

maybe you can use a
little color on the desk.

You think you're kidding?
Send me an application.

The St. Gregory's on the
NAACP list, Mr. McDermott.

But we haven't made you a target yet.

If we were making you a target,

we'd send a delegation out to
try and talk to you first.

If we couldn't talk to you,

then we'd arrange a situation
that'd put the matter into court.

So you see, this Dr. Adams
today didn't belong to us.

I've checked the local
papers and the wire services

and there's been no
story filed on Adams.

Well then I don't
understand why he ducked me.

Could he belong to another
civil rights organisation?

Maybe, but I doubt it.

In fact, I'm a little curious myself.

We usually know what's
going on in the district.

I'll put the word on the grape vine,
see what I can find out and let you know.

Would you? I'd
appreciate that Mr. Dusan.

I do not want any
trouble for the hotel.

Does that mean that the bars
against negroes are down here?

It does.

How about Mr. Trent?

He's been, what you
might call, overcome.

In New Orleans, that's the millennium.

Thanks for your time, Mr. Dusan.

It's been a good night's
work for me. Thank you.

Dupere didn't show up, Pete.

Oh boy. Get another
man from the agency.

You all set up for tonight, Sam?

Yeah we're set. Our thief might
be a pro named Keycase Milne.

Bailey and a couple of the bellhops
think they recognise his mugshot but

they can't tie him to a room.

Maybe he's skedaddled,
maybe he hasn't.

These old gunners can disappear in a
hotel this big like rats from a barn.

Listen I'll give you a hand
with the patrol tonight myself.

Alright, Pete.

Evening.

� Myyyy loooove.

Yeah.

Something for you, Pete?

Well hows about a little
something for a troubled spirit?

Yours?
- Mhm.

� Alone... Together.

Hi Tom. Make it a double.

Beer.

Hello Mr. O'Keefe.

Peter. Would you get
me a napkin, please.

Thank you.

Say, I like this girl.

A lot of people do, she's
been here a long time.

I wanna thank you for showing
Madam Rochefort around the city.

Hospitality of the St. Gregory, sir.

I'm making Warren an offer tomorrow.

Didn't madame tell you, Mr. Trent's
arranging new financing for the hotel.

Yes, of course.

But when he hears my offer
I think he might sell,

if you make him affirm the view.

Oh I think you
overestimate my importance.

Do I?

Aside from keeping you on
here at $700 a week with me,

I'll also pay you a $20.000
bonus when Warren sells.

Now if that's an overestimation,
it's one you should take advantage of.

Would you agree?

$20.000 is a very agreeable sum.

I was hoping you'd
feel that way about it.

Yes, I like this girl.
We'll keep her on.

A Mr. Bailey would like to
see you at the front desk, sir.

Ok, Ted.

Hi there, Captain Yolles.

Hi Pete. Say. I um, I need your help.

Sure.

I've got your man Dupere
out there in the patrol car.

He was picked up for driving
a Jaguar that belongs to some

very prominent guests here. The
Duke and Duchess of Lanbourne.

Do you know anything
about him having the car?

No. Picked up?

What do you mean, you picked
him up for stealing a car?

It's possible. I'd like
to talk to the garage man.

Sure, come on.

Charlie? Charlie! Listen, Detective Dupere
did he take a car out of here tonight?

Yeah, early. That big Jag that
belongs to the English Duke.

Did he have permission to take it?

He gave me a note
from the Duke's wife.

Let me see it.

It's right here. It's
a piece of purple paper.

Hey Junior, did you see a piece of
purple note paper here somewhere?

I cleaned a lot of stuff out of here.

Well where's the trash?

I took it to the
incinerator like I always do.

I'm sorry Pete. I don't know,
I swear he gave me a note.

And you know I don't let no
cars out of here unless...

Oh no, no, I know that
Charlie. Thanks, thanks.

Is there any reason you can't
tell me what this is about?

Well, that's the car that
killed the little boy.

Oh no.

Do you suppose the Duke
and Duchess are in tonight?

Yes, they're hosting a
party in the Dominique room.

Suppose I can speak to the
Duke without horning in.

I can do it for you.

Get Dupere.

Oh, ah, we asked for
your husband, Your Grace.

It's alright, I can
speak for my husband.

Well this is Captain
Yolles of the city police.

It's, um, it's something about your automobile.
- Oh?

A man named Dupere was picked up
driving it quite some distance from here.

He claims you gave him
permission to drive it.

I just wanted to check
with you about it.

I gave no one permission
to drive my car.

Do you know this man?

Should I know him?

He's the one who was driving the car.

He says that you paid him $300
to drive it to Washington DC.

We always ship our car.

Listen what the hell is this?
She gave me a note that...

Watch your language!
Book him on suspicion of car theft.

Here's the dough! Talk to Charlie.
- Book him!

Is that all?

Yes ma'am. Oh there is
something you might help me with.

Were you, or your husband,
driving your car on Tuesday night?

Tuesday... No, no. I think that was
the night we didn't leave the hotel.

You're certain of that?

What is this, Captain?

If you don't believe me, why
don't you ask Mr. McDermott?

I think that was the night you
were in our suite, wasn't it?

Yes.

Sorry, ma'am.

May I return?
- Yes, ma'am.

You'll get your car back tomorrow.

Thank you.

Good evening, Your Grace.

Are they onto us, old girl?

Elmer, hold it. Hold
it. Wait a minute.

Hey, we've done pretty good
up in the kitchen today.

Only got 9 spoons, 3 forks and 14...

Listen, Henry.
Henry, is this tonight's stuff?

Yeah.
- Did you burn much of it? - Just some. Why?

Well... It might be too late. But
there's a piece of s tationery like this

that has some writing on it.
Now do you think you could find it?

I guess. That's a tall order.

One little, old biddy piece of paper?

Well it's a mighty
important piece of paper.

I'll try. That's all I can say.

I'll try.
- Ok.

What happened?

He's working alright.
- Shh. Shh.

I jumped him on 7. Lost
him on the service stairs.

He's wearing a dark
grey suit and a hat.

But I couldn't get a make on his face.

It's those damn credit cards. They...

They... Credit cards.

Hey! I think we can stop looking now.

Are they in the hotel now?

No. They're at that trade
council. Their closing ceremonies.

Calm enough about it, aren't they.

Well, there's no rush. We're waiting on
a state department fella to fly in anyway.

Yeah?
- From Washington, Mr. Laswell on line 5.

Oh good.

Hello?

McDermott, what's the matter with
you people down there? You crazy?!

Well if we are I don't think shouting
on the phone is the cure, Mr. Laswell.

Damn it all! You killed your
own deal, don't you know that?!

I take it this has something
to do with a man named Adams.

There's a 2 column story in the
Washington Herald. With pictures.

You there, McDermott?

Yes, I'm here.

I know Trent's an old hard nose,
but you seem like a man with brains.

What happened? We wanted
that deal down there!

We wanted it too, Mr. Laswell.

Then how did you let this happen?!

Would it make a difference?

Look, do you understand my situation?

I've got about 40.000 negro members.
- I understand very clearly, Mr. Laswell.

I'm sorry, McDermott. I
like doing business with you.

Well... I killed the goose, didn't I?

Forgive me Pete, I'm a stupid old man.

What?

I said forgive me,
I'm a stupid old man!

Oh.

Now we're right back where we started,
back with the real estate people.

O'Keefe has a proposition for ya.

He hasn't made a...

He hasn't made a move yet.

Hello, penthouse.

Oh yes, sir. Just a minute.

He's making a move now.

Yes?

Yes Curtis.

Why, I'd be glad to talk to you.

I'll bring my...

I'll bring my general manager
along, if you don't mind.

Fine.

Well, we'll hear what he has to say.

Good morning.

Good morning sir.
- Hello.

Good morning! Oh I didn't mean to
frighten you. Go right about your business.

I just came for Her
Grace's letter case.

You'd think they were trying to
break us down with their silence.

Perhaps they're doing
the decent thing.

They're waiting for
me to give myself up.

I'm afraid you're not much
of a mastermind, old girl.

The whole scheme has been ridiculous.

You can be quite assured the long arms of
the law are reaching out to gather us up.

But they have no proof!

And after all, you're
not just anybody.

What could they achieve?

You could claim your diplomatic immunity
against arrest and they know it!

You'd want me to do
that, wouldn't you?

After we've gone this far, yes.

Of course.

Good morning, gentlemen.
Come in, please.

Good morning.

Warren. Warren. Come in, come in.

Hey there.
- Morning.

Warren, sit over here.

I'm certainly glad that Warren
brought you along, Peter.

I'm sure you're gonna be
a big help to both of us.

I'll try not to get in the way.

Well, it's a beautiful day and I
think we can get right to it, Warren.

You know what I want to talk about.

Mhm, I just wondered why
you put it off so long.

I had to look the house over, do
a little checking here and there.

Now, I think I should tell you,

I'm familiar with your
current financial picture.

Oh I'm sure you are.

You probably know it better than I do.

It's a depressing picture, Warren.

But what I'm about to propose,

if you can overcome your prejudice
to my kind of operation,

will mean security for yourself
and perpetuation of the St. Gregory.

Now first of all, I want
you to keep your appointment.

Rent free, service free,
for as long as you live.

You'll still be on
top of the St. Gregory,

you'll still be a part of this world
famous hotel which your father built

and you made into the
fine inn that it is.

Your thousands of friends will
still be able to find you here

by picking up that house phone
and saying "give me the penthouse".

Agreed?

I'm listening to ya.

Downstairs there'll be a plaque

commemorating the name of Trent,
- O'Keefe's room.

founders of the greatest house in America.
- One moment please.

Alright?

Go on.

The purchase price will be based on.

Good morning, Mr. McDermott.

I have some information for you.

The man called Adams works
in a hotel in Philadelphia,

run by the O'Keefe chain.

He has no connection with
any Civil Rights organisation.

and still leave you a very tidy sum.
- That's very interesting.

of the real estate people.
- Thanks a lot for your trouble.

They'll pay one million, two
hundred and fifty thousand in cash.

But I'm keeping the
house alive, Warren.

I can't believe you're
gonna let them pull it down.

This house is more than just Warren Trent.
It's the 300 people that work for ya.

You forgetting about them?

No, no I'm not.

Right. Some of them have been here
almost as long as you've been here.

And what about their jobs?

Warren. Look at me.

I will take care of your people.

I'm leaving for Mexico City tonight.

Make a decision now.

Save the hotel.

I think you should accept
the offer, Mr. Trent.

Hmm?

It's a fair offer. You don't want
to see the old house torn down.

And you can live here for the
rest of your life, you'd like that.

Live here and watch
the changes he'll make.

You can watch him tear out
the old Lorado Taft fountain.

Watch him pull down the
great marble columns.

You can watch him change the grand
promenade into a row of busy little shops.

You can watch him divide the great
suites into little matchbox rooms.

McDermott, now that's enough!
- I'm persuading him!

You see, Mr. O'Keefe offered me $700 a week
to persuade you to sell to him Mr. Trent.

Oh and a $20.000 bonus and that's
a hell of a lot of money to...

Warren I don't know what this
bellhop of yours is talking about.

Go ahead, Pete. Persuade me.

Alright! Alright, I
offered him some money.

Well that's business.

A man goes in with every
advantage he can get.

I think I made a little
mistake this time.

But you're a business man, Warren.

Which your general
manager, obviously, is not.

Noooo... But he talks mighty good!

Go on, Pete! Persuade me!

Well let's see.

Your employees that Mr. O'Keefe
is so deeply concerned about,

he'll take care of them, alright.

He'll bring a wrecking crew
of efficiency experts in here

and within 30 days there won't be a man or
woman in this hotel you can call by name.

Not true.

Should I believe him, Pete?

Oh, you can trust him!

You trust him?

Sure I trust him! He's
gonna pay me $20.000.

Now you might wonder why I'm worth
$20.000 to Mr. O'Keefe. Well I'll tell ya.

You see, he thought I might tumble to a
little trick he played on us yesterday.

He deftly arranged to have me, um,

charmingly pre-occupied while
Dr. Adams tried to check in here.

Now Dr. Adams, or Elmo Adams,

is the day bell captain of Mr.
O'Keefe's Philadelphia hotel.

He was jetted in here yesterday morning
with a reporter from the Washington Herald.

Now I'm not too sure about Mr.
O'Keefe's tie up with the Herald.

But it was good enough to plant
the story for Laswell to read.

So in case I heard about this, the
20.000 bucks was supposed to buy my mouth.

Not for talking, but to keep it shut.

But don't let this influence you, Mr.
Trent. Take his offer, for my sake.

He's beautiful!

Alright, I killed your union deal but I'll
match the real estate offer. $1.250.000.

You're gonna be out of a job, Pete. You
made a big mistake, shooting off your mouth.

Well, you know,
everyone makes mistakes.

1 million, 500 thousand in cash.

Oooooh-weeee that's a lot
of cash, isn't it, Pete?

1 million 5, that's my final offer.
- I want you to call Lumiere

down at the bank and tell him
to close that Real Estate deal.

Sorry about that.

Elliot!

Peter!

I don't tell lies. For anyone.

I know.

You better cancel all reservations.

As the guests start moving out,
start shutting down the plant.

Captain Yolles.
- It's the Duke of Lanborne here, Captain.

Now you are the gentleman who spoke
to my wife last night, aren't you?

Yes, sir.

Well I should like to have a
little chat with you captain.

Alright, sir, I'll be right over.

No I think I'd rather come
there if you don't mind.

I think in the circumstances it would
be more proper for me to come there.

After all, what I have to say is best said
where that sort of business is conducted.

Yes immediately. Thank you.

How do you do?
- Good afternoon.

Down?

Down please.

Afternoon ma'am.
- Afternoon.

What happened?
- It's the elevator.

Which one Herbie?
- Number 3.

Give me a pencil with a rubber tip.

Stand back, just stand back please.

Give me that.

Just stay back.

It's between floors,
Pete. About the tenth.

Herbie, Sam, let's get up there.

Get these doors closed.

Give me a leg up here Sam.

Herb, attaboy.

Ok Herbie, take us up.

You alright?
- Yep.

Slow down, Herb.

Slower Herb. Take it slow.

Ok, stop it.

Stop it!

Pete, those brakes are burning out.

Cy?
- We're ok, Pete.

Oh please get us out here, please!
- It's gonna be alright ma'am.

It's gonna be alright. It's gonna be
alright, ma'am. Now come on. You're next.

That's it kid, easy. That's a girl.

Sam. Easy now there, don't look down.

Ok ok, come on. Hurry up.

Now you sir!

Get him up. Come on! Step on my back!

Come on, get your legs up.

Well get rid of the
bag! Put the bag down!

No. No! No!
- Get rid of the bag. Get rid of the bag!

Come on, come on.

Here you go, Sam.

Hold my wrists, that's it.

It's gonna blow!

Her Grace will see you now.

Your Grace.

I wish it was not
necessary to do this.

I understand.

Very well, you see,
I was driving the car.

I panicked and drove away
from the scene of the accident.

Everything that was done
after that was done because...

my husband wanted to protect me.

I'm completely to blame.

And this man?

It was just as he told you.

He was given $300 to drive
the car to Washington.

Beyond that, he's not implicated.

I'm very sorry for the
trouble I put you through.

Please forgive me.

Alright, Dupere, wait for me outside.

Captain.

What will you have me do now?

Nothing, for the moment, Your Grace.

I shall be leaving the
hotel, staying with friends.

You'll keep me informed
about where you are?

Of course.

And captain.

Please, whatever happens, please don't
let my husband's name be disgraced.

You see, everything that was done
was... Well you see my... Well...

My husband... loved me very much.

How much money did you really get?

Alright, beat it.

You gonna pick her up?

What for?

For trying to give her
dead husband a clean bill?

She's a nice, pretty woman.

A sure way to empty a hotel fast.

Drop an elevator.

Right. Ok We'll be right in.

You sent for me, sir?

Yeah Pete, I want the employees
to have six weeks severance pay.

The old timers, give
them 6 months pay.

Right.

How many guests do we have left?

Oh, about 60, including the O'Keefe
party and they'll be checking out soon.

Keep the boys on their toes
until the last one is gone.

Thirteen presidents have
stayed in this hotel.

Hey, you know Pete? I'm going to
have more than half a million left.

Find us an inn to keep.

Oh, maybe not so big, but one
we can keep the way we want it.

I'll look around.

Ask one of the boys to take
Mike out for his constitution.

Right.

Come on, boy.

McDermott.

If I'm not there, try the Lost
Reaches number in Aco Polko.

McDermott. The young
lady's returning to Paris.

If you would arrange her flight and
put it on my bill I'd appreciate it.

Of course I will, sir.

Well... It was a good house.

It's too bad.

Suppose this is pretty
good considering, Tom.

Old customers coming to the wake.

Words got around we're closing.

Ladies and gentlemen. The
drinks are on the house.

Go, honey.

Give me the...

Give me the penthouse.

Hello, Mr. Trent? I think
you'd better come on down here.

I'm giving all your booze away.

Alright. I'll be right down.

Give me the Audubon Suite.

Bienvenue, Mademoiselle.

Merci.

Would you like something?

Yes.

Anything special?

Yes.
