O.K.

O.K. You guys ready?

Say goodbye.

[high voice]
oh, no! Please!

Now, chuy, remember,

Everything's got to be
just right today.

A very important group
is checking in--

The daughters
of the traditional south.

And I want dinner
to be perfect.

What do you want me
to do,

Cook a possum or somethin'?

Chuy, this means
a lot to me.

I took care of the rooms
for your southern belles.

I put a mint
on every pillow.

Sophia,
you put a feenamint
on every pillow.

Oh, I guess
that around 2 a.M.,

The south will rise again.

Hi, oliver.

Did you finish
your homework?

Are we doing this
every day?

I finished my science.

I'll do my math later.

Maybe I'd better
look at your science.

Fine.

It's on the
electromagnetic pull

Of astral black holes

And their effect
on ultraviolet rays.

Uh-huh. Well,
this looks fine.

Hi. Uh, reservation
for smith.

Would you sign
here, please?

Blanche, do you see
that couple over there?

Don't look.

What about them?

Come on. Don't tell me
you don't see.

Don't look!

What about them,
rose?

He told me
his name was smith,

And I know it isn't.

Do you know
what that means?

Yeah. That room's going
to be available again

In a couple of hours.

Here you go,
mr. Smith. Room 207.

Why did you
do that, blanche?

I worked with
that man's wife.

I've seen him at
christmas parties.

Oh, thank god he
didn't recognize me

Without
my elf costume.

Aren't you glad
we decided

You shouldn't wear
your elf costume here?

There was nothing
to decide.

Didn't make sense
to wear it

After you cut
the bells off.

The point is,

There is sin going on
in our hotel.

Rose, I'm sorry,
but that's
one glass house

I really
don't feel qualified

To throw stones at.

But it's wrong.

What's wrong?

Oh, rose
is in a snit

Because some guy
is shacked up
in 207.

I know his wife.
It's wrong.

Wait a minute, rose.

We're in
the hotel business.

It's not up to us

To judge the people
staying in the hotel.

Daughters of the
traditional south?

Those bigots in bonnets

Aren't staying
in this hotel.

Roland, there is
nothing wrong

With the daughters
of the traditional south.

When they
put those sheets
over their heads,

It's some kind of salute

To casper
the friendly ghost.

Oh, when is that?

Roland, this is not that
kind of organization.

Are you telling me

You really don't see
who these women are?

I see 10 rooms
in our hotel

Rented
for three nights

At a time when we
desperately need
the business.

You are
overreacting.

This is just a bunch
of harmless ladies

Who like to wear
white gloves
and have tea.

And as you said,

It's
not our business

To pass judgment
on our guests.

We're here to make
people feel welcome.

Fine.

Where are you going?

To get my jockey suit
and lantern.

I'll stand on the lawn,
make them feel at home.

Well, this just
doesn't seem fair.

Rose.

How come he
gets to dress up

And I don't?

Rose, take table 5.

Oh, no. Not them.

Do you know what
they're doing here?

I have a pretty good idea.

I haven't seen
drooling like that

Since they sat me

At the zombie table
at shady pines.

Good evening, sir.

And how is your wife
tonight?

Uh, fine,
thank you.

What will you have?

Gee,
I'm not sure yet.

Honey, should we
have some wine
while we decide?

Sure.
What do you suggest?

I have a lovely chardonnay
that might be nice

Before you burn in hell

For the rest
of your lives.

Rose, honey,
as a general rule,

Don't damn the guests.

I'm sorry,

But this is
a very personal matter to me.

I've seen this all before.

Let me tell you
a little story

About a couple I knew
back in st. Olaf.

He was strong,
and she was docile,

Almost contented,
you might say.

They were married
in a pasture

Where they used to graze.

It was a lovely wedding--

Wait, wait, wait.
Graze?

Oh, yes. They were cows.

But anyway...

A few moments
after the ceremony ended,

When they were leading
the bride to the barn

To cut her
out of her dress,

The unspeakable happened.

The unspeakable?

Yes.

Yes, another cow...

Floozy...

A shameless, painted cow

Who'd let
anybody milk her...

Well, she began
to make eyes at tim.

Tim? Who's tim?

The bull. Roland,
stay with me on this.

Anyway, all I know

Is that wedding ring wasn't
in tim's nose five minutes

Before he
caught floozy's eye.

Oh, sure,
we turned our backs

And tried to pretend

We couldn't hear
what was going on,

But how can you not
hear the cowbells?

Oh, those bells...

Those awful, awful bells.

I can still
hear them clanging.

Not so cute

When she's
telling the cow
story, is she?

You're not hanging
that flag in here.

Well, of course I am.

Do you know what
this flag represents?

This flag belonged
to big, big granddaddy
hollingsworth.

He used to bring it

To all our fine old
southern family picnics,

Where all the cousins
would gather.

Everybody was courteous
and mannerly,

And gentlemen
would ask ladies

For the favor
of a dance.

Cousin rex would
be home on vacation

From colonel bob's
school for bad boys.

And he'd ask me
for the favor

Other than
the dancing favor,

And we'd...

Ahh,

It's a grand old flag.

I see. This is just
good old-fashioned fun.

O.K. How about
on Tuesday nights

We hang the nazi flag,
hire an oom-pah band,

And dress you up
like eva braun?

It's not the same
as the nazi flag.

It is to me.

When you see this flag,

You see some
southern fairy tale

With a guy
in a white suit

Tipping his hat, saying,
"evenin', miss blanche."

Evening.

Sorry.
You were making a point?

That's not funny,
blanche.

That's ancient history.
You know it.

Things aren't
like that anymore.

Uh-oh. Here they come.

So are we going
to check them in?

Can we afford not to?

After
they're checked in,

I want this flag
to come down.

Well, welcome, ladies,
to the golden palace.

Please don't
eat the mints.

What's doing, rose?

Oh, it's pretty quiet.

I've called the smiths
every minute and a half

So they won't have time
to start rolling around.

I did the same thing

On dorothy
and stan's honeymoon.

Drove them crazy.

You might want to try it
with a german accent.

Sophia, you're terrible.

Achtung!

[with german accent]
your strudel
is ready und--

I'm sorry.

Wrong number.

Thanks.

They sounded scared.

May I help you?

Yes. A reservation
for mr. And mrs. Smith.

I see.
Mr. And mrs. Smith.

Mr. And mrs. Smith
are here.

That's right...

Mr. Old-enough-to-be-
her-father smith

And the lovely

Mrs. This-sure-beats-
doing-it-on-the-floor-
at-the-office smith.

First of all,

You can kiss
"employee of the month"
goodbye.

Again?

Look, rose,
I know these people.

They're regular customers.
They really are the smiths.

Oh, my gosh.

Achtung.

I'm an exchange student.

Why is that flag
still there?

Blanche didn't
get to it yet.

Oh, I see.

Hey, what are you doing?

I don't want this here.

I swear. If you're not
making such a thing.

I remember once
when big, big granddaddy
hollingsworth--

Just stop it!

This flag, mrs. Devereaux,

Is not about
college football games

Or quilting bees or
fried chicken on Sunday.

It's about colleges
that won't let me in.

It's about companies
that won't hire me.

It's about crosses being burnt
on people's lawns today.

Not in the evil past,

Not just in the south,
all over.

The north is just as bad.

Damn yankees.

You honestly
don't get this, do you?

I don't see where
there's anything to get.

This is just a flag.

To me, it's a bunch of
wonderful family memories.

I don't want to work for
anybody who feels that way.

I don't think I can.

Why, roland--

I'm just going to look
for another job, blanche.

Well...

Hey, chuy,

What's this
on tomorrow's
lunch menu?

"sausage
on split bread"?

That's a hot dog.

Who's going
to want that?

Let me
tell you something.

I've seen thousands
of people line up

For a little
piece of sausage

Because it's
the only food available.

They suffer in silence

As they inch up towards
the head of the line

With rain beating
down on them.

Don't tell me I don't
know what people want.

It was that bad
in the barrio?

No. It was last Sunday
at the dolphins game.

Listen, do you
think I'm wrong?

Yes.

Shouldn't you let me
finish my sentence?

No.

There's a couple
in this hotel
committing adultery.

I know it's not
the in thing,

But I happen to believe
in family values.

Don't start
with family values.

After sal died, I had
to be a single parent.

I took care of dorothy
the best I could.

Oh, sophia, dorothy
took care of you.

Oh, that would
explain the free food.

We should have a policy

Against people
coming to our hotel

To commit adultery.

Don't tell me you
never went to a hotel

To have a little fun.

I may have gone,

But not with
somebody else's husband.

Actually, once, I did
wind up in a hotel bed

With someone
other than charlie,

But it was an accident.

You had an affair,
little miss goody two shoes?

Well, I'm shocked.
I don't know what to say.

It wasn't an affair,
technically.

See, charlie and I

Used to go to
the st. Olaf hotel
every few months

To spice things up.

We'd have a nice dinner

And go up to our room

And dress up
like o favorite
storybook characters...

And then make love.

Nothing unusual.

Perfectly normal.

Yikes.

One night, charlie went
in the bathroom to put on--

Well, this is
a little embarrassing.

We're all adults here.

There's nothing to
be embarrassed about.

He went in to dress up
like the big bad wolf.

Sick. She's sick.

Now, stop it.

Sorry.
I don't understand

About people
who dress up like
storybook characters.

Of course I was lucky.

Without his clothing,

Sal looked like
wee willie winkie
anyway.

Can I finish my story?

Well, when he went
into the bathroom,

I turned out the lights.

Why bother
putting on costumes,

Then turn out
the lights?

Now I do feel silly.

Oh...

Rose...

The affair.

Well, we wanted
to order room service,

But the st. Olaf hotel
doesn't have it.

They just
have dumbwaiters.

Are we talking about
a little elevator
dumbwaiter

Or just a guy
who was a dumb waiter?

Little elevator.

O.K.

But the guy who got off it
wasn't that bright, either.

I mean, he saw me in bed,
and he crawled in.

I thought it was charlie.

So I said, "grandma,
what big eyes you have."

He said, "the better
to see you with, my dear."

I said, "grandma,
what big teeth you have."

He said, "the better
to nibble you with,
my dear."

Then charlie came out
of the bathroom

And said, "who's that
sleeping in my bed?"

I was so confused.

I'll bet.

Don't take me now, lord.

Don't let this be
the last story
I ever hear.

[man]
ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

[woman]
oh, ha ha ha.

[man]
oh.

No. I'm going
to be more tolerant.

Oh, harry.
Ha ha ha.

[man]
ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Oh, please.

Wait. I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

We're checking out
of 207.

Was something
wrong?

Yeah. This woman's
what's wrong.

Rose, what
did you do?

Nothing.

She completely
invaded our privacy.

Oh, come on.

It's not like I
got in bed with them.

O.K., so I got
in bed with them.

She started
singing hymns.

And she started
babbling something

About hearing
cowbells ring.

This used to be
a nice, little
discreet hotel.

What's it
turning into?

We're doing
the best we can.

You shouldn't
have her here.

And you shouldn't
cheat on your wife.

My wife is none
of your business.

It so happens
this woman and I

Have a very special,
meaningful relationship.

I won't
have you cheapen it.

Let's go, um...

Arlene.

Right. Arlene.

How could you?

I'm sorry.

We're barely
making ends meet.

We cannot afford
to offend any guests.

I'm sorry.

You did
the right thing, rose.

I did? I did
the right thing.

I did?

Yeah. Sometimes
what you believe

Is more important
than business,

Although what some people
believe is unbelievable.

I'm not some
kind of bigot

Because I love this flag.

I resent that implication.

You just stop
that right now.

Oh, yes, ma'am,
miss devereaux.

Old roland don't
want to cause you
norouble at all.

You hold on to that one.
He's a good one.

What did you say?

"he's a good one."

Roland...

Wait.

I don't feel like
that woman in there.

I don't feel
that way at all.

Can't you see that flag
ties what you believe

And what she believes
together?

That flag's legacy is alive

Whenever I walk down
the street with friends

And a white person
crosses the street

'cause they're afraid

Or when I'm
in the elevator

And you're huddled
in the corner

Wondering what
I'm going to do.

Sometimes I want
to go "hooga!"

Oh!

Just to break
the tension.

Please don't tell me
about that flag.

I've battled it
all my life.

I'm sorry for everything
you have been through,

But what am
I supposed to think

About all my family,
all my friends?

O.K. When I
was in school,

Maybe I was
less sensitive
than I could have been.

I was just doing
what all my friends
were doing.

They were my friends.

We were just acting like
everybody we knew acted.

Oh.

And then that...

When I had
my first baby--

Well, the hospital
was packed and, uh...

And I had
to share a room

With a young
black woman.

George made a big stink

About
the accommodations.

She had
to have heard him.

Her baby was
as cute as mine.

Cuter, in fact.

Rebecca
was an ugly baby.

Turned out fine.

Ugly baby.

You can get an idea
of how she looked

If you catch sophia
with her teeth out.

The point is

What am I supposed
to do and think
about my family?

What am I
supposed to think

About all
those people I love?

What am I supposed
to think about me?

Everything I grew up
believing in,

All of my
wonderful memories,

They're--they're all
tarnished now by...

Oh, god.

By the truth.

I owe you an apology.

No. You don't
owe me nothing.

Will you stay?

You really have
to start listening to me

When I tell you something
is bothering me,

And I'll try
to understand

Why some of these things
mean so much to you.

The whole world
is messed up right now.

I'd like
to see that get better.

In order
for that to happen,

White people
have to start making
positive assumptions

When they see
people of color,

And people of color could
make positive assumptions

When they
see white people.

Things are just messed up.

Blanche, let's
just try and get rid
of all the barriers

And just trust
each other, o.K.?

Right on.

Oh, really?

Is there
a mrs. Smith?

Har har.

No, but there's
a mr. Jones.

Oh...

Well, that's
a relief.

You just won't
believe what goes on

In the hotel
business.
