CHARLIE NARRATING: 'So, how would you like a job?

'We have positions opening up all the time.

'Staff turnover is surprisingly high.

'Of course, we do require a certain standard.

'You'll be pleased to know

'that the management offer a certain level of autonomy.

'You'll also be actively encouraged to take a hands-on approach

'when managing your own staff.'

Go on. Off you go.

'And most importantly, we offer a job

'where each day brings its own fresh and exciting challenges.

'Some more exciting than others.'

Good evening, madam.

Mr Kane. A pleasure to have you. Thank you.

Now, you need anything, anything at all,

please don't hesitate to contact me or our head concierge.

Thank you. Your table's ready.

So, how was dinner? Lovely.

Only the best for you. Any second now.

As soon as he gives her the ring, go over there.

I don't know... Off you go.

..how to put this, but I've loved you

since the first moment I saw you.

Lisa, will you...? I'm sorry, sir.

Your credit card has been rejected. What?

Unfortunately, I've been authorised to terminate it.

No, there must be some mistake.

No, I can assure you, they were quite definite about it.

Change it, mate.

Just use one of the other cards.

Would you give me a moment, please?

Certainly.

I can't. I don't have them any more.

Lisa, I'm sorry, I was going to tell you.

I have a slight financial difficulty.

It's nothing to worry about.

As long as we have each other, we can deal with anything, yeah?

Lisa, will you marry me?

You're broke. That's not the important thing here.

This is what's important, right? So, Lisa...

Lisa. Please, you can't just walk out on me.

Ben. I need you to meet me tomorrow morning in the Olympia suite.

Of course, Rebecca. Good.

Can I ask why? Erm, you'll find out tomorrow.

Hmm.

What was that all about?

Oh, nothing. Just something special Rebecca wants me to do for her.

She's probably going to fire you.

Obviously realises how hard it is for you to live in my shadow.

Obviously.

Maybe you had enough, eh? This is a little bit embarrassing.

I haven't got any other cards.

I've probably got enough cash to pay for the meal.

Really no problem. I'm sorry that the evening didn't go as planned.

What? No. No, no, no. No. Lisa's... It's fine.

She was just going to get some fresh air.

It's stuffy in there.

I was engaged once,

but, you know, she had a bit of a 'tache.

Also, I have a room booked.

I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to cover the cost.

I could use this as collateral. There's really no need for that.

Thank you.

I'll get housekeeping to come up and tidy the room.

It's fine.

MR KANE SIGHS

I'm sure she would've appreciated it.

Mr Kane.

MR KANE GROANING

BOTH STRUGGLING

You've probably guessed by now that there is no office.

No job.

I used to be a senior investment manager.

Handled millions of pounds.

Then, one day, I made a judgement call.

Unfortunately, my judgement was faulty.

And they just fired you?

Now, every morning, I get dressed for work

and then I go and sit on the Circle Line.

Just go round and round all day.

I presume Lisa didn't know about any of this.

No, I wanted to propose to her before she found out.

I thought that maybe she'd stay and then...

HE SIGHS

..hopefully, you know, I'd get an offer of work.

Well, it could be worse.

You could be working in the hotel business.

That'd be great.

Anything to get the ball rolling again.

It's not as much fun as it might seem.

BOTH CHUCKLE

So, these are the girls?

That's them.

Estelle, Louise, Carolyn and me.

God, we were such a gang.

I can see that. Look, same leather jackets.

Same legwarmers. Same root perms.

Ugh. Same rah-rah skirts.

So, where do you want me to put these decorations?

Oh, all around the room.

I just want a hint of the '80s to get us into the mood.

We haven't seen each other in ages. Ah-hah.

Now you are talking my language.

"That was the summer of 1963."

"When everybody called me Baby and it didn't occur to me to mind."

Ah! One of the greatest motion pictures of all time.

Isn't it?

Yeah, it's gonna be great.

You're certainly putting a lot of work into your divorce party.

Oh, no, no, no. It's not a divorce party.

It's just a little get-together.

Since the divorce came through with Mark, I haven't done anything fun.

Why don't you leave it all with me?

Thanks, Ben.

Oh, and could we keep this between ourselves?

Because I know how gossip works around here

and I'd rather not be the water cooler topic of the week.

My lips are sealed.

Oh, morning. Morning, Mr Kane. How you feeling?

Oh, come on, call me Robert. No need to be formal.

What are you doing here?

Well, I've come about, you know, the job.

Oh, right. I'm not sure there are any openings at the moment.

What about this one? That's the bellboy's position.

Sounds perfect. Back to the floor, not too much stress.

Chance to ease my way back into things.

Bellboys are the whipping boys of the hotel industry.

They're the bottom rung of the ladder.

That's not something you'd wanna do.

I've spent the last six months pretending to go to work.

It's not what I want, it's what I need.

I wouldn't let you down. I'm sure you wouldn't.

That's not what concerns me.

I just feel that perhaps you're slightly overqualified for the job.

My last bellboy came from Burger King.

I'd take a job at Burger King, but I don't suppose they'd hire me.

All I'm asking, just give me a chance. Please.

He's the new bellboy? How did that happen?

I offered him the job.

He looks like a City boy. It's a whole different world.

Take the businessman out of the office,

but you'll never take the office out of the businessman.

I seem to remember it wasn't that long ago

when people weren't so keen for you to give Luke a chance.

He's turned out OK.

It's probably cos I'm a better judge of character than you are.

I think you're underestimating him. And me.

Well, I don't think he'll last a week.

What do you say to a little wager? Usual amount.

Robert spent his entire life working in high-pressure environments.

A week in here is gonna be nothing to him.

All right.

It's gonna break my heart to be the one to say I told you so.

PHONE RINGING

Hello? All right. Ta.

Game's on. I gotta go. Good luck.

'First Friday of the month is a strange time in the hotel.

'Everybody's mood suddenly becomes a little lighter.

'There's a spring in their step.'

Hello. 'Payday.'

'And with everyone flush with money,

'there is only one sensible thing to do.

'Gamble.

'Anything you can think of, we can find ways to turn it into a bet.

'For the more traditional, though, there is the monthly poker game.

'Strictly invitation only, whenever your break allows you

'five or ten minutes, this is the place to be.'

'And believe me - this can go on for days.

'Even weeks sometimes.

'Only the sharpest, most ruthless poker player can handle it.'

Come on, Gino.

Yeah, maybe I'll flop.

Or maybe I'll not.

Yeah, flop it. Agh.

Three.

Or two.

MUTTERING

Hit me.

HE GRUNTS

Yeah, not bad. Not bad.

Come on.

HE KISSES

What are you doing? Mwah.

I was just, erm... CLEARS THROAT

..sticking it up. With your tongue.

What's going on in here? I can't tell you.

Rebecca swore me to secrecy. And?

No. You always think you can make me crack, but not this time.

She's having a divorce party. How delightfully sad.

I know, and she's getting all excited

because her school friends are coming over.

Ooh. Can't imagine her with friends. You don't have to. Look.

SHE GASPS The Holy Grail.

You know, you can tell a lot about a person from their school friends.

I bet that she was the school slut. Rebecca?

Yeah. SHE GASPS

Oh, my God. Look at that hair. Poodle City.

You know, if someone gave me this,

I'd think that they were... incredibly sweet.

What's she doing in here? This is such a good idea.

Really? Do you really think so?

Oh. Absolutely. Oh, look. The karaoke machine.

REBECCA GASPS What's wrong with her?

I think this is her getting excited. 'One, two. One, two.

'One, two.

'Hello, Wembley.'

It works. It does, doesn't it?

Carolyn. Look at you! You look amazing.

Ah, thanks, darling. God, you don't look so bad yourself.

Louise. Oh, thank you so much for coming.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Estelle. I'm so glad to see you.

It's great to see you, too.

You look fantastic.

Being single obviously suits you. Aw. So, how are you?

Still searching for the next publishing phenomenon.

Where's Dan Brown when you need him?

Well, I am spoiling you all this weekend

because we have got the Olympia suite all to ourselves.

And we can use the spa.

I've booked us in for pedicures and manicures.

Oh, I'm not sure if I can... No, don't you dare worry.

It's all my treat.

I cannot wait. My flight was appalling.

I tell you. First class is not what it used to be.

Come on, tell us. Can you believe there was not

one single sexy male all the way across the Atlantic?

Carolyn, you do not change a bit. Sorry. Hang on a sec. Catch you up.

Hi. That's yours.

Good afternoon, ladies. Anything I can help with?

Not at the moment, thank you. Luke.

So, tell me - what was Rebecca like at school?

Just my key, thank you.

No, no, yeah. Estelle. Get a move on, slow coach.

One sec. Yeah, it was.

I will. Promise.

Yeah, me, too. Bye.

Ta-dah! What do you think? Fantastic!

And look who we have here.

Ooh. His eyes kind of follow you around the room, don't they?

And look at this. "I carried a watermelon."

ALL: "I carried a watermelon."

Very good! ALL LAUGH

And look what I made you. Sit down.

I was going to save this for later, but... too excited.

I had about a million photos.

Oh, God. You really didn't need to go to so much trouble.

Oh, great. Me before my nose job.

And look at you and Kevin.

Yeah, you haven't changed a bit.

Been going out since you were 14.

They'll probably bury the two of you together.

I know they will. Kevin's bought a plot in the graveyard.

It's really nice. DOOR BEEPS AND OPENS

Ladies. Your drinks...

are... served.

ALL GASP Remember this?

We practically lived off this when we were 15.

Jesus, just the smell of that stuff makes me want to be sick.

Yeah, you were always the first who felt queasy.

BOTH: No, that was Estelle.

Was it? Sadly, yes.

I just don't think I can. Oh, yes, please.

Kevin never lets me drink at home.

Well, Stella, you can have whatever you like.

Cosmo? Or champagne. Champagne, I think.

Champagne. Right, of course.

Gino, could you send up some champagne, please?

No problem. Thank you.

Right. Ah. Having a sing-song?

Apparently so. I sometimes karaoke myself.

They say that I have the voice of a bird.

# I can be your hero, baby

# I can kiss away your pain

# Oh, yeah

# I will stand by you forever

# And you can take my breath away

# Yes, you can take My breath away. #

I get the bubbles.

Right.

Test me, Charlie. What?

Pick any company, ask me the share price.

OK. Webber & Brown.

Webber & Brown. Share price, 240, up 3.4%.

It's actually 84 and down 7%. Damnit!

I knew I was a little bit out of touch, but this...

See, that used to be my thing. I had it all up here.

Really thought I was getting back into the swing of things.

Well, maybe with a little more time, it will all come back to you.

Erm, where's that going?

To Rebecca and her sexy friends. Hold on one second.

Come with me. I'll show you how we serve champagne in the suite.

I'll take that. But the sexy friends.

I'll take it.

You've still got it, Bex.

It's one of the classics.

Right. Whew! Who is next?

Carolyn. No, thank you.

What? Why? My jetlag is kicking in.

Can't we just, kind of, turn it off, actually?

LAUGHTER Yeah, of course.

PHONE RINGING Oh. Sorry.

I've got to answer that.

Hello? Ooh.

Oh! Steady on there, Lou.

Sorry. It's just so nice to be without the kids for a while.

Yeah, I can imagine.

Well, actually, you can't.

Since you haven't even been to the farm

in the seven years that we've lived there.

She's got a point, actually, Bex. What do you mean?

Only that we've all been, except you.

And I hate mud. Plus, I live in New York.

Only saying, Bex. And you are the godmother.

To Billy, who... Ben!

Oh, my God. Ben. Yes, that's what I meant. Ben.

Back me up, Estelle. I mean, I was there for you

when your divorce came through, wasn't I?

You sent a card. Which was nice.

But since then. I have been there for you recently.

Counselling you through your turbulent love life.

Yeah, course you have. What?

What? Nothing. You've got a new man.

No, don't be silly. You have, haven't you?

No, I haven't. Don't tell me.

Don't tell me. It's Jeremy, your boss.

For Christ's sake, Rebecca, can't you just drop it?

We're meant to be here celebrating your divorce, not talking about me.

I was only saying. Well, don't.

Well, if anyone's interested, I've arranged a discount for you all

at a boutique around the corner,

just in case you want to treat yourself to something special.

Oh, that's very sweet. Thank you. Really nice. Thank you.

Well, I've got a really big dinner planned for us all tomorrow evening,

so I think I'm gonna turn in and save myself for then.

That's an excellent idea. Anyone else coming up?

Oh, I'm on New York time, darling.

I'm gonna go to the bar. Check out the talent.

Right.

Night, night. Goodnight.

There you go.

COUGHING Two pairs. Aces over jacks.

Yes. Good night's work.

Sorry, James.

Actually, I think the expression is, "Read 'em and weep."

That's a straight to the ten.

What's that look for? Nothing. Getting to know your game.

Well, some of us have a wife and kids to get home to.

Tony, no. No, seriously.

If I'm more than two hours late, she'll call all the hospitals.

More than three hours and I run the risk of ending up in one.

Oh, bloody hell, it's 2am. The babysitter'll be going mad.

Come on. Just one more hand.

James, a little bit of advice. Quit while you're ahead.

And you are definitely not ahead. You should have quit hours ago.

Androv. Couple more hands, yes? Sure.

James. Close the door on the way out.

Some of us have got cards to play.

Good morning. How are you doing today?

Good, good, yeah. You know, you were right yesterday.

I took some time, and stuff really did start coming back.

I spent the entire night working on a bunch of new proposals.

Hopefully not all night.

Didn't actually get much shuteye.

Spent the night parked outside my girlfriend's flat.

Ex-girlfriend. She might be seeing somebody else.

Robert, this story is not gonna end up

with me finding her head in your locker, is it?

No, no. Just thought she might ring.

She won't. I've been there.

Three years ago. Absolute nightmare. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

Still keep a picture of her in my locker.

Not because I'm still in love with her,

but just so I can remind myself of how weak I was, you know?

And how strong I've got to be now.

You're right. You're right, Charlie. Thanks.

Great speech. Very moving.

Complete nonsense, of course.

Sometimes, a manager has to tell someone what they need to hear.

You're quite worried about him, aren't you?

Oh, bellboy. What?

Hi. The couple in room 302

say they haven't been delivered their luggage yet

and the people in 203 have been delivered luggage that isn't theirs.

You see where this is going.

Yeah, I did go to Stanford School of Business.

Still delivered the bags to the wrong room, though,

didn't you, brainiac?

IN MIND: 'Still delivered the bags to the wrong room.'

'Oh, bellboy.' 'Leave business to the big boys.'

'You're broke.' 'Oh, bellboy.'

VOICES ECHOING

I think we should ease up on James a little.

Why? You know how seriously he takes cards. He always has.

That's why we love him. He's like my personal piggy bank.

I mean it. Can't stand the heat, stay out of the store room.

Got a holiday coming up. Algarve. Somebody's gotta pay for it.

It's not like the wager with Charlie is gonna do that.

Yeah, Charlie. What about your wee wager on bellboy Robert?

Not really a wager. More a philosophical argument.

Oh, right. Just promise me that

when James wants to up the stakes, you don't encourage him.

Nice try, but nah.

Miss Rebecca. She come.

Yeah, of course, the importance of healthcare can't be underestimated.

Excellent point, Charlie. Hi, Rebecca.

What's going on? Union meeting.

A union of housekeepers, concierges and managers.

It's... new.

Charlie, a minute of your time, please?

Cards falling in your favour, Charlie?

Got no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah. Tony's there, still taking me to the cleaners.

Management shouldn't play cards with the staff.

It sets a bad example. Especially when they lose.

They should, however, help each other out.

Are you asking me for a favour? Mmm. It's a bit embarrassing.

Well, whatever it is, you can tell me.

No. I mean embarrassing for you.

I just wanna make sure it isn't too much.

Maybe you should have asked Anna.

Yeah, if I wanted to dress like a 14-year-old on heat.

I hear that's all the rage nowadays.

I've been planning this dinner for weeks and I want it to be perfect.

So, how's it going with them?

Well, it wasn't quite what I expected

when all the Swayzes got back together.

Sorry, the what?

It's what we called ourselves at school.

You were in a gang?

That's great.

Why did you call yourselves the Swayzes?

Because we all wanted to marry Patrick Swayze.

So, I was Rebecca Swayze, Estelle was Estelle Swayze.

You know. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."

You've lost me. Oh. Doesn't matter.

Too much? Nope.

Hmm. You look stunning. Thank you.

You OK?

It's been a weird couple of days.

Charlie, if I stopped working here...

..do you think we'd...?

Do you think we'd still be friends?

Honestly? I'd like to think so.

But probably not.

You know what's really depressing?

Is you're probably the closest thing I've got

to a really good friend right now.

It's not that depressing.

I'd actually quite like to be friends with me.

Right. I better change out of this.

OK. Right.

Yup. I'm gonna get back to work. I'll see you later.

Yeah. Thanks. Bye.

HE EXHALES

ROBERT CLEARS THROAT

Customary to leave a tip. I don't believe in tipping.

Look, I'm not trying to extort you,

it's just that people around here need tips to survive.

Not some jumped-up guest in a cheap suit giving them attitude.

Thank you. Enjoy your stay, sir.

HE SUCKS TEETH

Ow. Goddamnit.

James.

No, we're not leaving here until you tell me what's going on.

James?

Are you crying? No.

Of course not, don't be ridiculous.

Turn around and sit down and tell me what's happening - now.

So? It's nothing.

I've just got a bit of a cash flow problem, that's all.

Cash flow problem?

I'm broke.

Working here, you get used to a certain degree of luxury.

Being surrounded by all this opulence.

Being able to order the finest foods and wines. Well...

That's fine if you leave it at the door,

but it doesn't translate too well to your home life.

James. I'm sleeping in my car.

You're sleeping in your BMW?

No. The BMW's gone.

I've been sleeping in a...

..a Ford Mondeo.

Oh. James. That's awful.

No, it's fine. It's fine. HE CLEARS THROAT

Just a good run at the card table and I will be back in business.

James. You are the worst gambler I have ever met.

What? Do you even know what a tell is?

Whenever you are bluffing, you have a twitch,

a signal that gives you away.

You flex your arm.

Everybody knows it.

Call. Call.

Yeah. Call.

Your luck is never gonna change. You are just terrible at cards.

But I... Worse than Gino.

Oh, God. Maybe I can help you.

I've got a bit of money saved up. No, thank you.

I'm a Schofield.

We don't accept charity, no matter how bad things get.

That's a shame cos you're not the only one with a tell.

Of course, you're too proud to even let me explain about Tony's.

I might be proud.

I'm not that proud.

ELEVATOR BELL DINGS

Hello, handsome.

Are you talking to me?

I don't see anyone else in this lift.

You're not hanging out with the rest of your gang?

No. Need some time on my own, you know, to relax.

Are you tense?

Oh, I'm very tense. That's terrible.

Isn't it your job to help the guests unwind?

Oh, absolutely, madam.

In fact, I think it's my duty.

Sorry I have to leave. Listen...

Don't worry. I won't tell your boss.

It can be our little secret.

HE CHUCKLES It's not that.

You see, there's a card game downstairs.

Been going on for a couple of days. Stakes are getting pretty high.

Any chance you could lend us 100 quid?

Darling, I never loan people money.

Point of principle. Yeah, OK.

When I say lend, just being polite.

And what makes you think I'll give you that much money?

Well, you look a lot less tense to me.

You don't think I'm gonna pay you for sex?

There's nicer ways of putting it, but let's face it.

You're no spring chicken, are you?

If anything, 100 quid is a bargain.

Get out.

Fine.

Looks like I just wasted 15 minutes of my time.

Oh, what now?

Oh, it's you. Hi.

Just checking you're OK. Haven't seen you this afternoon.

No, I'm fine. I just went for a swim. Relax.

Great. It looks like it's done the trick.

Yup. See you downstairs for dinner, then?

Absolutely.

I can't believe I'm the only one who hasn't been to the farm.

Oh, God, don't worry about it.

It's just so lovely to be here and see you again.

BOTH CHUCKLE

Estelle is being a bit short, don't you think?

Hmm? Is she having problems at work?

I mean, she's like a sister to me.

I know that I've been caught up with Mark and everything, but...

So has she. What do you mean?

Oh, it's nothing.

I'm just being silly.

Estelle?

Oh, hiya. I just had a shower. I'll be with you in a tick.

OK, not a problem.

Come on. What do you want? Hmm? SLAPPING

You're better than this.

Come on. You're better than this.

Just do it. Just do it. Come on. SLAPPING CONTINUES

Come on. Focus.

Keep on doing that, you're gonna cause some lasting damage.

An old technique I picked up working in the City.

Visualise and conquer. Hmm.

Looks to be more like you're having a fight with yourself and losing.

I've had a complaint. Tipping is at the guests' discretion.

You had no right to do that.

I was just explaining to him how things work.

He needs to understand...

No, you need to understand that you can't force tips out of guests.

And you don't need to make yourself busy with the running of this hotel.

So much needs attention here.

The levels of staff involvement, the sheer waste of...

Robert. This hotel does not need another manager, so let it drop.

CHARLIE'S VOICE FADING

Are you listening to me?

Yep. Sorry, you're right, Charlie.

It won't happen again, it's my fault.

Good.

The couple that just checked in, what's their room number?

509. Why? Bags.

Oh, they didn't have any. Filthy buggers.

LAUGHTER

So, come on, then, how's your love life?

Well, as I always say, behind every strong woman is a good man.

Or a string of mediocre ones. Clearly.

I'm sorry. What's that supposed to mean?

Just that you've never been choosy.

I'll have you know I can sometimes be very difficult to get.

And this afternoon? Ah.

I have to say that, as a supposed best friend,

I think it's pretty disrespectful,

coming to my hotel and sleeping with my staff.

You had a one-night stand with a member of Rebecca's staff?

Strictly speaking, it was an afternoon stand.

Oh, God, afternoon sex.

I don't think I can remember what that's like.

If it's any consolation, it didn't quite go according to plan.

He wasn't that nice. None of them are.

Still, at least we've got each other, eh?

Yeah. That's right.

At least we can rely on and trust each other.

Best friends till the end.

So, have you...? Have you spoken to Mark since it happened?

No. No. What's the point?

Well, for what it's worth,

I never thought you two were quite right for each other.

Really? Not right?

And this new bloke of yours, is he Mr Right?

Me? No, no, I'm not seeing anyone.

Funny, because you've been getting phone calls

and text messages all weekend.

Oh, no, that was just... a friend of mine.

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

Are you seeing him?

Who?

Mark. My ex-husband.

Oh.

I wanted to tell you. I tried phoning you several times.

I don't understand. You're my best friend.

Best friends don't do that. It just happened.

But why didn't you stop it from just happening?

I should go. No, no. We need to talk about this.

No, no, we don't.

We knew.

You bitches.

I wanted to tell you, but I haven't seen you.

And anyway, she was gonna tell you herself.

She promised us.

LAUGHTER

What are you doing? It's her.

Lisa, my ex-girlfriend.

She's in there with him.

You can't do that. Give me the key card.

Cheater! What are you doing here?

What am I doing here? What are you doing here?!

Who the hell are you? I'm her boyfriend.

No, he's not. Why are you dressed like that?

These shoes. I bought these. They were a gift!

And this dress. I paid for that. Get out!

You don't get to do this any more.

Listen to me. We can do this the hard way or the easy way.

The choice is yours, pal.

So, that was the hard way, then?

Robert, I'm gonna have to let you go.

Oh, come on. You can't.

I really need this.

You gotta give me another chance. That was your other chance.

I can't be responsible for you any more, mate.

It's as simple as that.

You want to be treated like everyone else, well, this is it.

Leave your uniform in the locker.

You should have just let me jump.

No, I shouldn't.

I'm sorry. I really am. I did want this to work out.

Aren't you on till midnight?

Nope. And I won't be on again.

Oh, did you quit?

Figured as much. You should've gotten some of that action.

Tony is always right.

What do you mean? The bet.

Him and Charlie had a wager on whether you would last a week.

Oh, right. Of course.

They wouldn't tell you about that, would they?

Oops. Me and my big mouth. LOCKER DOOR CLOSES

I'll see you around, bellboy.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Inconvenience?

What do you think would've happened if you hadn't been there?

He wasn't really gonna hurt you. Yes. He was.

I'm surprised you even hired him. What do you mean?

Didn't you phone his old work? No.

You just felt sorry for him and gave him a job?

That kind of thing, yes.

You're lucky you're cute cos you really aren't that smart.

Didn't you wonder why nobody hired him?

Let's just say anger management is really not his strong point.

Charlie? Yes.

Peeping Tom was looking for you.

Robert? I thought he'd left.

Nope. No, he's still here. He seemed very keen to talk to you.

Get security on the phone, see if they can pick him up on the CCTV.

Erm, please? Now.

Bellboy.

What? Take my bag downstairs.

Please? Sorry?

"Take my bag downstairs. Please."

I'm not in the mood for this.

"Take my bag downstairs. Please."

Sorry. Maybe you're missing something here.

Me guest, you bellboy.

Bellman, Bell-person.

You do what I say.

Robert? Please.

You cannot stand there in a clown costume telling me what...

You don't ever speak to me like that, do you hear?

You don't speak to me like that! You don't speak to anyone like that!

Robert, what do you think you're doing?

It's her fault, Charlie.

Get your hands off her. Calm down.

I was trying to start again!

But I can't, she's not coming back to me.

I know.

You can't empathise with me.

I've seen the way that this whole place treats people.

It's like a joke, isn't it? I'm the biggest joke of all.

You put a bloody bet on me.

This is my life and you are gambling on whether I'll succeed or not.

You're not a joke.

And the bet, I'm sorry.

I really thought this was a new start.

So, let's just sit down and slow it all down and talk about it.

I'm not a child, Charlie. I am perfectly aware

that I'm holding a piece of glass against somebody's throat.

I just don't know what's gonna happen next.

Rebecca!

SIRENS BLARING

Poor soul.

I hate to say I told you so.

I think all bets are off, don't you?

This time, Charles, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Well, I certainly know how to throw a party.

God, I hope she's OK.

How could she? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You know, for what it's worth,

I really don't think she meant to hurt you.

Me, as you know, I've no morals - no bloke is out of bounds.

But she really did try and stop herself.

She just couldn't help it. Couldn't help herself.

My taxi's here.

You OK? Fine. I think.

I just want to say, I'm so, so sorry.

Speak to you soon.

Estelle.

You don't... You don't have to go.

It's probably for the best. No, really, you don't.

Becca, I'm sorry for what I did to you.

Really, I am. But...

..I love him.

I love Mark and I can't stop.

I've tried, but I can't. So...

..I realise that we can't be best friends any more...

now that you know everything. Well, maybe not, but...

Well, we could start by just being friends.

See how it goes.

Come and have a drink.

# Oh, baby

# I'm having the time of my life

'Hotel work means long hours.

'So long, in fact, you might find yourself

'neglecting other aspects of your life.

'If you lose touch and haven't been around for your friends and family,

'then don't be surprised to suddenly find yourself isolated.

'A stranger in your old world.

'But you're not alone.

'You've simply become part of a different way of life.

'With people who may initially annoy you.

'People who you'll wish would disappear off the face of the Earth.

'People who, given the opportunity,

would be only too happy to take the shirt off your back.

'Then, one day, you wake up to discover

'that these people have somehow also become your friends.'

When Tony is bluffing, he licks his lips.

See you.

Two pairs.

Yeah. Good one.

'As jobs go, it's not without its rewards.'

Thank you. Thank you all.
