All language subtitles for 23wdssd

Oh, hello.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Jackie Mulchen,

the executive producer
in charge of all productions

made here at Paramount.

And before showing this picture,

I thought I should at least
explain--

The motion picture
you're about to see

isn't the run-of-the-mill
film fare

that has been presented to
the moviegoing public of late.

Now, it's quite easy
making this type of picture,

filled with love, emotion
and tears.

And of course,

we could easily make
these space,

violence and horror films

that are enjoyed by many peoples
of the world.

But we chose to make
what you're about to see.

A film based on fun.

And it's just
a little different,

insofar as there is no story

and no plot.

That's right.

I said, no story.
No plot.

It is actually a series
of silly sequences.

Or you might say,
it is a visual diary

of a few weeks in the life
of a real nut.

And it's real silly.

Oh, put it on!

Show it to them!
Put it on!

This is
Walter Winchell reporting.

And this is Miami Beach
at night.

The nights here are the same
as anywhere else--

No sun.

This is the same Miami Beach,
daytime.

It is just waking up...

rubbing the sand
out of its ponds,

ready for another

"Let's Be Pretty
for the Tourists" day.

A day that could never
get started

without the people
who provide the services

that are required in order
that the visitor is satisfied.

The people who serve
are the real backbone,

the people who serve and work
in order that you might pay.

That is, play.

Company,

halt!

And of course, there are chefs,

chambermaids, clerks,
hostesses,

waiters, doormen, bartenders,

waitresses, musicians
and entertainers.

But these are the men

who are the real unsung heroes
of a hotel,

the men who have
no real direction.

They are called on
day and night

for anything
from burping babies

to walking the dog.

These are the men

who are almost always
called upon

for services above and beyond
the call of duty.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
I call them men.

But everyone else calls for...

the bellboy.

And as the bellboys
break ranks,

you will notice they all know

just where to go
and what to do.

That is, most of them.

How are you?

Here you are, Stanley.
Get everything out of the trunk.

George, come help me!

Hello? Hello?

Hello, Mr. Hartman.
How are you?

Yes, we have your trunks.

- Artie, I need a couple of guys--
- Shh.

Yes, yes, we have
your trunks.

I can't hear
very well.

What did you say?

Oh, yes, yes, of course, yes.

Why, we've got beautiful
accommodations for you.

I'm sure you'll be happy
with them.

We'll be delighted
to see you.

Yes, yes,
thank you.

Thank you.
Goodbye.

I'm Mr. Carter.
You have my reservation?

Yes, sir, Mr. Carter.
Sign here, please.

It's certainly nice to have you
with us again, Mr. Carter.

Unfortunately,
I can't stay too long.

This has to be
a hit-and-run vacation.

We certainly hope
you enjoy your stay.

Front boy!

Mr. Carter
is in room 625.

And we certainly hope you enjoy
your stay, Miss Winkley.

Front boy!

Miss Winkley
is in room 626.

So nice to see you again,
Mrs. Hartaum. Let me help you.

Oh, you're very lucky.

We've been having
wonderful weather, Mrs. Hartaum.

Here, now, here we go,
that's it.

Easy.

That's it, now.

Boy, open that bag

and hang those things up
in the closet.

Well, well, well, if it isn't
Mrs. Hartaum back with us again.

Although
it's good to see you,

I hope it isn't because
of dieting again.

Oh, now don't you fret,
Mrs. Hartaum.

We'll do all we can.

But you're going to
have to stay away

from that candy,
you know.

- I know, I know.
- Good. Good.

Clerk, the key to room 98
for Mrs. Hartaum, please.

I'm sure you'll be very happy
in the new wing, Mrs. Hartaum.

I would like to leave
a forwarding address.

Certainly.

Two weeks certainly did fly by,
Mrs. Hartaum.

They certainly did.
And you look wonderful.

Thank you.

That's because you kept away
from the candy.

- Goodbye, Mr. Novack.
- Goodbye.

Thank you.

Pull that car over!

Pull it over! That's it!

Now move the other one!

What a day I put in, huh?

Oh, Mrs. Hartaum,
I didn't recognize you.

You look crazy.

I mean, great.

Thank you, Carl.

Has my uncle's car
arrived yet?

Not as yet, Mrs. Hartaum.
But I'll call and check.

Thank you.

Mrs. Hartaum is right here.

Oh, Mrs. Hartaum?

Your uncle asked
if you would please wait.

He's been detained.

He'll be here
in about 20 minutes.

Tell him that'll be
perfectly all right. I'll wait.

All right, thank you.
Mr. Hartaum,

Mrs. Hartaum said
that'll be fine.

Thank you.

Would you care
to sit right here...

Thank you.

...while the car comes?
Thank you.

Stanley, you've been at
this thing for 40 minutes.

Get going,
will you?

Stanley, I don't mind you
helping out the guys,

but you've been here
for over an hour.

Now, get back
to the bell desk!

On the double!

Stanley!

- I don't get it.
- Get what?

This kid loves
his work.

Now that you've
got that done,

would you please
be good enough to--

No, let me
rephrase that.

Stanley, just to keep you
out of mischief,

you go set up the seats
for the motion picture tonight.

Stanley, we don't talk back.

Get along, get along.

What's the matter with you?

I never seen you laugh
so hard.

I've got Stanley
on theater seating duty.

Alone? How long
has he been in there?

I just sent him in.

He'll be in there for two,
three days, at least.

- Let's go and watch.
- Okay. Let's go.

He's fast.

You know, Mr. Novack,
I'm so excited.

I've never seen a movie star
up close before.

Good.
Enjoy yourself.

And it's Jerry Lewis.

Oh, our mother used to
take me to see him

when I was just a kid.

Now, listen everybody.
He'll be here in a moment.

Just be sure
all the accommodations

are exactly as he ordered.

And whatever you do,
be pleasant for a change!

Oh, there he is!

All right, places, everybody!
Places!

No autographs,
please. He's very shy.

Stand back, folks.
No autographs, please.

Stand back, folks.
No autographs now.

Whoa. Hold it.
Hold it! Hold it!

- Is this where we register?
- Yes, sir. Right this way.

Hold it. Hold it!

Hold it!
Back! Back!

Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!

Stop with the brushing!

Now, we've been together
a long time.

I've asked you many, many things

and you've come up fat for me.

And now I'm asking you
to hold it.

Stop pushing, stop brushing,
just hold it.

Now, we're all adults

and I'll expect you all
to conduct yourselves

in such a fashion
as an adult will.

Hold it. I've never asked
you this,

but I'm asking you now,
simply, purely,

hold it!

I'm a nervous wreck.
A nervous wreck!

Let me have a cigarette.

Thank you. Thank you.
A light, do I have--?

Yes, sir.

All right. All right. All right.
All right!

Hold it!

Stop with the brushing!

Let me have another cigarette,
please.

I'll smoke it dry.
I'll smoke it dry.

Yes, sir, Mr. Lewis,
we're all quite excited

about your appearance
at the Fontainebleau.

Of course...

we should be used to
celebrities by now.

We've had some of the big ones
staying with us, you know.

"Wrong-Way" Corrigan.

Ma Perkins.

And don't forget
Bill Holden's aunt.

Bill Holden's aunt.
Yes.

Well, I would like very much,
if you don't mind,

I would like just very much
to get to my room as soon as--

Yes, sir. Did you have
a pleasant journey, Mr. Lewis?

Fine.

- Ah, he kills me!
- He's so funny!

Well, of course
you understand,

this is the private
entrance to the hotel.

Your suite is on
the fifth floor,

and it's completely
secluded.

I'm sure you'll be
very happy there.

That's wonderful.
Yes.

He's always good for a laugh!

He's terrific!

I would like the seclusion
and privacy,

because I had a terrible mishap

just a week or so ago
in the family.

An aunt died and...

That's what I always say!

Nothing like a laugh.

He's so funny.

Would you care
to register, Mr. Lewis?

Yes,
I'd like to register.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
And I'd like to go to the room.

All right, all right!

You better let me
have another card.

Oh, that won't
be necessary, sir.

You may register in your suite.
This way, please.

All right,
thank you very much.

Back! Back! Back!

Ah, back!

Now we're gonna go
in the elevator,

and we're gonna go single file,
like nice people.

Remember, I told you,
hold it.

- Leon.
- Yes, chief.

- Who are all these people?
- They all work for you, chief.

Mm-hm. And who's the guy
with the straw hat?

He's the guy that tells you
who we are.

Oh. That's good to have
such a thing,

because I wouldn't
have known.

I've got such a bunch
of people.

This is a very nice room, Ben.

Where's the bed?
Oh, it's the elevator.

I'm sorry. Will you stop.
Wait. Don't push.

Folks, just, that's it.
Just file in.

Now move to your left,
would you? That's it.

Now let me get in--
Let me get in to the side!

That's it. Fine.
Will you get off me?

You're stepping on my suede.

Will you stop
with the brushing?

I'm awfully sorry, Ben,

but these people are
just so overanxious.

And I appreciate it because,

you know, you've got
to have your staff.

I've got the barber
and the gardener,

and I've got the people
that assist me.

See, when I do the shows,
I try my best to do what I can

to perform for people, and
I need the elements, you see,

and all of these people
function for me.

That's why they're--
Stop brushing!

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Yeah.

But there couldn't be
two of them.

Right?

Right.

Hey, Stanley couldn't be
a Clark Kent, could he?

Don't be silly.

But he could be
a Lamont Cranston.

Bell captain.

It didn't?
I'm sorry, sir.

Yes, sir.
Right away.

Front boy.

That brown rawhide bag

goes up to
the Lewis entourage.

On the double!

Stanley.
On the double!

- There you are, dear.
- For me, Mr. Berle.

Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.

Boy, there are a lot
of autograph hounds here.

Mr. Berle, I have a little
daughter and she sings.

She sings every time
the neighbors come to the house.

What should I do?

Move.

Deliver this to Milton Berle
right away.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome, son.

- Please.
- Sure, young lady.

You know, you look like a girl
I know from New York.

Were you ever--?

Just a minute, son.
Please, just a minute.

You look like a girl--
Are you here with your mother?

Your mother's here
with you, huh? I see--

Just a minute, will you,
son, please?

There you are, young lady.

Young man,
would you do me a favor?

First thing
you must learn

is never
to interrupt anybody

when they're busy,
you understand?

I don't care
what you want to say.

But the first thing
you must learn is etiquette.

Politeness.

Don't look over there.

Look at me
when I'm speaking to you.

Be a good boy,
never interrupt people.

The rudest thing to do

is to interrupt people
when they're trying to--

Oh, you have
a message for me.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.

There's a tip.

Milton.

Hi, Milt.

What's the matter?

- Milty?
- Y-you wouldn't believe it.

You wouldn't believe it.

What...?

Milton,
what's the matter?

Message for Jerry Lewis.

Right here, boy.

Mr. Lewis.

Yes?

Thank you.

What's uh...
What's the trouble, sir?

Nothing. You wouldn't
understand or believe it.

There's an awful lot
of kooks in this hotel.

Straighten up there!

- Come on, let's go!
- Wait a minute, where's Stanley?

- I don't know.
- Well, we said we'd wait for him.

Oh, we'll miss
the first race.

Come on, Stanley!
The races go on in 20 minutes!

You're off duty now.
What are you hanging around for?

We'll talk later.
Let's go.

Yeah. Go get dressed,
will you?

- Yeah, let's go!
- We'll meet you outside.

- Where's that Stanley now?
- Who knows.

- Oh, let's go.
- Come on.

We're late for the races
already.

He's a speedy boy!

Well, what do you think,
Herkie?

I don't know.
I can't make up my mind.

How about you, Dave?
I'm thinking.

Sonny,
how does it look to you?

Well,
I don't know.

It looks to me like our friend,
Flicka, has vanished again.

Oh.
Where did this kid go?

He probably went
to make a bet.

I don't have to
go nowhere

to bet he's into
some kind of mischief.

Your attention, please.

May we have your attention.

Due to circumstances
beyond our control,

we will have to eliminate
the first race today.

We are very sorry.

Please make your bets
for the second race,

and all the first-race bets

will be refunded
at the mutual windows.

Thank you.

Locker room,
is Stanley down there?

Okay, thank you.

Say, Art, have you seen Stanley
out there by the pool?

All right, thanks a lot.

Coffee shop,
have you seen Stanley?

Which Stanley?
The only Stanley in the world.

Is there anything
I can do for you, sir?

Front boy.

Stanley, take over
for a few minutes, will you?

I'll be right back.

All right, now!

What's the matter
with you guys?

You've seen
pretty girls before.

We've had model conventions
here before.

Now remember, when these girls
are here in this hotel,

they're treated
like any other guest.

What you do during working hours
is our business.

Now, what you do after
working hours, is our business.

Now, don't fool around.

Remember, no girl
is that important...

I think.

Mr. Novack, as you know,

I'm very faithful
to this hotel and to you.

I try to keep
a lot of things from you.

I try to do my job,
and keep from bothering you

with a lot of petty annoyances,
right?

This afternoon, Mr. Novack,

something happened
I've got to tell you about.

This afternoon, when the models
convention came into the hotel,

all the bellhops
were lined up there,

and as the models came in,

every single one of those
bellhops grabbed a girl.

They jumped out of line,
grabbed a girl.

Every single one of them
had a girl.

Except me, and I think
it's pretty darn unfair.

I keep telling you,
I keep telling you,

I keep telling you.

And I keep telling you--

Stop spending money!

I'll stop spending money
when you stop spending money.

Don't--
Don't live my life for me!

I wouldn't, except that you--
I have to live it with you!

- Yeah. Shut it!
- Shut what?

- Your big mouth!
- My big mouth?

If there was
a measuring stick,

you'd find that my mouth
is just a little pinhole

compared to that Holland Tunnel
you got under your lip.

All right,
you asked for it.

Don't hit my husband!

You dog, you!

Where do you come off,
you stinker,

butting in
on our business?

I'll show you!
Don't you dare!

How dare you?
You busybody!

Nosy!
Mind your own business!

You. Come on. Come on, honey.
Don't pay any attention to him.

He don't know what he's talking
about anyhow. My darling...

And I'm telling you, Bob,
once and for all,

either you see to it
that your men

are dressed neatly
and clean

or there's going to be
real trouble around here.

We're not running
a gymnasium.

This is a very high-class hotel,
do you understand?

Well, in case you don't,
I'll say it again.

- Neat. Clean. Nice.
- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Good taste, good clothes,
refinement, distinction.

That is very,
very important.

Put this in my cabana.
Yes, sir.

Bell captain.
No, sir, I'm sorry.

You'll have to call
room service. Right up.

Company, halt!

- Left face.
- Left face.

All right, this will be
a half-hour break.

March.
Hut, hut, hut, hut...

Bell captain.

Well, sit down.
There's no one there.

What do you want,
a green light?

Sit down and eat your food.

And shut up!

As I was telling you,
when someone pushes you around,

and keeps pushing you around,

you keep getting pushed around

till you're not gonna be
around to get pushed around.

Bravo! Bravo!

You're always right, boss.

Now, remember what
I'm telling you.

Go to Detroit and get ahold
of Dead Eye

and tell him to take it easy.

Or else it's going
to be very hot.

Yeah, but listen,
I think you're all wrong, Steve.

We're not gonna get anywhere
with muscling anybody.

Things today are different
than they were years ago.

Why can't you just be sweet?

"Can't you just be sweet?"

I don't want to be sweet!

I want to be the way
I always was. Miserable.

I want to be like they say
on television,

an ornery critter.

Now, you go out there,

and remember
what I'm telling you.

You get ahold of Dead Eye

and you kick a hole
in his chest.

You knock his brains out,
you bite his jugular vein.

And remember one thing!
No violence!

Here's a kid
with an honest face.

Tell me.
Am I right or are they right?

There, you see? I'm right!

That's what I like.
A kid that's got class.

I'm telling you, Esther,
if we don't get a room,

I'm getting the first plane
back to New York in the morning.

I'm completely exhausted.

You and your bright ideas.

I don't blame you,
Dottie.

But it wasn't my fault

that they didn't receive
the telegram, was it?

Look, Dottie,
I have an idea.

That old boyfriend of mine,
Bob Clayton?

He's a bell captain here.

I bet he can find
accommodations for us.

You just relax and I'll
be back in a minute. Okay?

Stanley!

I couldn't care less about
your problems.

I've got a--

I've got a very responsible
position here.

I'm in charge
of all of the transportation

for this whole hotel.

Yes, I know, but--

Look, I don't give a darn!

Now, we're going to
work this thing out.

Now, look, either you do it
the way I say--

Or you can come over here and
we'll try to straighten it out

as well as we possibly can, sir.

Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.

Mr. Novack,
about this call--

Now, look, Bob,
never mind about that.

This is more important.
Now, listen to me.

We will be held responsible
for the actions of your boys.

And at all times,
you are to see to it

that they conduct themselves
in a manner

befitting a man
wearing the uniform

of the Fontainebleau Corps.

Is that clear?
Mr. Novack, you can count on me.

I'll keep those guys
out of those strip joints

if it's the last thing I do.
Good.

And now, friends and folks,

we're glad to present those
terrific fellas, The Novelites.

Howdy, neighbors. Doggone,
it's sure good to be here.

I've got a surprise for you.

I brought a couple of kinfolk
I want you to meet.

On my right, first of all,

here's my old happy cousin,
Smiley McCoy.

Come on out there,
Smiley Boy.

Doggone, it's sure good
to see you again,

you little maverick,
you.

Doggone, I want to say
one thing,

you're looking mighty fine there
this morning, Smiley Boy.

Do me a little bit
of favor here, will you.

Take yourself
a step forward.

These are nice people
sitting out here.

Don't be afraid
of them.

Go ahead, take yourself
a little step forward.

Tell you what to do,
Smiley--

Take yourself a great big old
step forward,

and you give the folks
out here--

Oh, God.

All I want you to do
is take yourself a step forward.

That ain't too much,
is it?

Take yourself a little bitty
step forward,

and you give the folks
over there

one of your
Arthur Murray smiles.

You seem impressed.

We're gonna kind of feature
Zeke on the guitar.

He's gonna take ahold
of that guitar and twang it.

He gonna grab that guitar
and gonna twang it.

Why, seconds.
As a matter of fact,

he's gonna take a hold
of that little old guitar,

he's gonna kind of clank-clank
a little for you.

Matter of fact,

he gonna twang-twang
a little bit!

I'll tell you
something, neighbors.

He's gonna grab hold
of that guitar

down there to see
the whole way,

back over, twist it up,
tune it up,

and gonna kind of clang-clang,
twangy-twang it for you.

He's gonna twangy-twang-twang
a little bit for you!

Look, I'm talking--

Look we're trying to move on.

What's the matter with you?
I'm trying for these people.

He's gonna grab
that guitar

and gonna twang-flick-flock
it for you.

He's gonna
twang-flick-flock...

There you go. Now, neighbors,
I think we're about set.

We're gonna do a little song
here for ya'll

entitled "The Alabama Jubilee."

- You about ready there, cousin?
- Yeah, ready here.

And here's the little gal
you've all been waiting for,

Rock Candy.

Mr. Sedley, I can't tell you
how upset I am about this.

You're upset? I've got to
go back to New York.

I have to do a TV show.

Now, now, now, relax,
Mr. Sedley, relax.

Relax, my eye.

I'm going to find out who did
this terrible thing to me.

He has ruined my entire career.

You can sit here, son.

It's okay. Sit here.
I'm through.

Hi, Stanley.

Hey, gang! Hey, gang!

There's a crazy guy having lunch
down at the bottom of the pool!

Come on, take a look!

Front boy.

Stanley, see that
steamer trunk down there?

Go down there
and get me--

Stanley, you never let me finish
what I'm going to say.

Now, if you had listened,
you would have found

that I did not want
the steamer trunk, Stanley.

I wanted what was on
the steamer trunk.

Now, if you'd listened
and waited, Stanley,

you would've found out
that I wanted the hatbox

that was sitting on
the steamer trunk.

Of course, you dashed away

before you gave me
a chance to explain.

Now, go back,
put the steamer trunk back,

and get me the hatbox
that is sitting on--

Stanley! That is sitting
on the steamer trunk.

All right, go--
Stanley!

Thank you, Stanley.

Would you like a bite?

Oh, this is delicious.

Greatest apples in the world.

Only one place to get
these apples.

You go down here, make a left...

Sure you don't...?

Just wonderful.

But Mother,
I've been here almost six weeks.

And all I've been able
to do so far

is go to the movies, and alone.

Or just sit around the pool.

What, Mother?

No, I keep telling you,

there just aren't any
nice young people

I would like to go out with.

They're either after my money

or they just want to drive
my Rolls-Royce.

So until I find a nice, quiet,
unassuming someone

who's only interested in me
and not my millions,

I'll have to go to the movies.

Because remember, Mother,

movies are your
best entertainment.

Give my best to everyone
in Australia.

All right, Mother, be well.

And I'll call you again
in ten minutes.

Goodbye.

Where were you
when I needed you?

Get your hand
off the bag!

Mr. Winters!
Am I to understand

that the suite for Mr. and
Mrs. Manville isn't ready yet?

- I'm sorry, Mr. Novack--
- Never mind. Where are they?

Right over there,
sir.

Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Manville,
I can't tell you how sorry I am

that the suite wasn't ready
when you arrived today.

Oh, that's perfectly
all right, Mr. Novack.

We understand,
but we won't for long.

Speak for yourself,
darling.

I'm anxious to get
to the room

and open my presents.

Please hold on a little longer,
folks.

My room clerk assures me
your suite

will be ready in about
a half an hour.

Couldn't we have one room
in 15 minutes?

Well, I'll check again,
Mrs. Manville.

Oh, what difference does it
make, my little carnation?

We're content,
aren't we?

Of course we are,
Ferdinand.

But remember, we were engaged
for 13 years.

Yes, I know.
And now that we're married--

We're all set now, folks.

Now, if you just follow me,
I'll show you to your suite.

Oops.

Oh, my back! My back!

Oh, my back.

Mr. Clayton,
how did this happen?

All I know, Mr. Novack,

is that Stanley
spilled something,

and he was just waxing it over.

Oh, my back.

I understand,
but did you call the valet?

Oh, I see. Well, then he must be
making his rounds.

In that case,
if you'll just call him again.

Yes, sir, I see.
All right, fine.

We'll have a boy up there
right away.

Yes, sir, thank you.

Front boy!

877. Mr. Weal.
A pickup.

Here, boy.
Take these pants

and have them pressed
right away,

because I have
a heavy date tonight

and I'll give you
a real heavy tip.

I'm gonna do the cha-cha-cha
Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha, one-two ♪

No, dear.

But I...

But I only...

But you only...

Yes, dear.

Hey!

Once again,
this is Barney Shank, friends,

at the 18th green.

Bringing you the final minutes
of this exciting $25,000 open

with the two finalists,
Jack Keller

and Dr. Cary Middlecoff.

And Middlecoff is making
his approach, as you see now.

Here goes the back swing,

and the ball is lofted high
in the air and hits right on.

It's going up to the lip
of the cup, it's going in...

No, it must be about
three feet away.

A beautiful,
beautiful approach shot.

Just gorgeous.

It's a beautiful day
for the game today.

The crowd is very still,
very quiet.

Everyone most anxious.

Here's Jack Keller putting.

There it goes,
it was beautiful.

That putt,
ladies and gentlemen,

put Jack Keller even up
with Dr. Cary Middlecoff.

And if Cary Middlecoff
makes this putt,

and it's like shooting fish
in a barrel

for old deadeye Middlecoff,

it will mean the 18-hole
playoff tomorrow...

for the big $25,000 purse.

This has certainly been
a gorgeous day today.

And there's a lot of money

depending on this next putt,
folks.

A lot of money.

Now the crowd
is all settled back.

No one is even breathing.

He's lining up the putt.

He sets himself.

And ladies and gentlemen,
here is the big one.

Aww.

- Hi, Bob.
- Hi, Hal.

You're a little late,
aren't you?

- Yeah, I had a big date tonight.
- Yeah?

Just me, the chick
and the full moon.

Yeah, now you're hitting me
where I live.

What do you mean?
The chick?

No, no, no.
The full moon.

Well, you know how I am
about that astronomy jazz.

You know,
an old Greek astronomer

at one time said, "When the man
in the moon is smiling,

"all the stars and the planets
are really swinging."

Mercury warms up
a little bit more.

Jupiter starts jumping.

Venus puts on a new hairdo
or a manicure.

All the stars and planets

are really having
a great big block party,

up there in the sky.

Sylvia! Sylvia!
Get up, honey!

The sun is shining
and it's a beautiful day.

Are you crazy, Fred?
It's 3:30 in the morning!

What's the difference, stupid?
For the money it's costing,

we'll take the sun
whenever they give it to us.

Stanley, Mr. Novack wants
to see you. On the double!

Check on that shipment
and make sure it came in.

And send that wire to New York.
It's very, very important.

Hello?

Oh, the senator.
Senator Tyson, yes, put him on.

I want to speak to him.
Oh, just a moment.

Stanley, get down to
the airport right away.

The captain of
the National Airlines jet

just flew in
from New York,

and he left his briefcase
in the cockpit of the plane.

Now, get down there and get it.
It's at gate 39.

Hurry up! Go away!
Go on! Go on!

Hello, senator.
How are you?

Last call for passengers,

flight number 104
for Chicago and Los Angeles,

now loading, gate number 5.

Last call for passengers,

flight number 104
for Chicago and Los Angeles,

now loading, gate number 5.
Last call.

And we are sorry we cannot
accommodate you at this time,

but we should be happy to be
of service to you in the future.

Very cordially yours--

Hello?

Yes, yes, this is Mr. Novack.

Yes.

Well, I'm sorry, we have almost
3,000 employees here.

I couldn't possibly know
every one of them.

Oh, Stanley, yes.
He works for me.

He what?!

Hey, I just saw one man
on the floor.

Where is everybody?

They're all inside.

They're having a meeting
at the roundtable.

Looks like trouble.

Fellas, I say one thing--

Striking is a matter
of principle.

Then let the principle strike.

What about the separate tables,
no fraternization?

What's with that bell captain
and his storm-trooper tactics?

Yeah, what we do after work
is our business, not theirs.

You're right. You're right.
They shouldn't tell us

to stay out of strip joints.
I like strippers.

Yeah, but remember fellas,
the decision must be made now.

Ah-ha!
So you're the ringleader!

I've caught you
at last.

And I always thought you were
such a nice, quiet young man.

And I find you're nothing
but a troublemaker.

This is the way
you treat me?

You ought to be ashamed
of yourself.

I've given you a home
away from home.

Yes, I have.
You know I have.

And this is the way
you repay me?

You're nothing
but a strike creator.

Yes! A troublemaker!
An instigator!

A picket-plugger!
Yes, you are!

Stop shaking your head!

What's the matter with you?
Can't you talk?

Well,
certainly I can talk.

I suspect I can talk as well
as any other man, Mr. Novack.

Well, in that case...

how is it we never
heard you talk before?

Because no one ever asked me.

So you see, there was no story.

But there is a moral.

And a simple one--

You'll never know
the next guy's story...

unless you ask.
