Thank you for being a friend.

Travel down the road and back again.

As long as it doesn't affect your schoolwork, maybe I'll make you our

supervisor. Oh, I get it.

Handing out titles instead of raises.

Well, I'm not fighting.

The old lady said she'd make it worth my while if I did some extra work.

That's right, and I wasn't kidding.

Here you go. A nice new shiny quarter.

dollars later, but from now on, will you check with me before you do any extra

chores? We have to watch what we spend. You know, things are a little slow

around here.

Good morning.

What's up?

Oh, I was just telling Oliver we have to do something to drum up some business.

Well, I have an idea.

What?

I just said I have an idea.

Okay, Rose, what's your idea?

Well, I think in order to drum up business, we should advertise.

Something like flyers.

Flyers are cheap. Just print them up and put them on car windows.

You know, that's how Dorothy found out about Shady Pines.

My daughter put me in a home that was advertised on a flyer.

Isn't that sad?

I'm not getting this quarterback.

I'm sorry, Rose, honey, but I just don't like flyers. Well, it doesn't have to

be flyers. I mean, all we really have to do is write Golden Palace on something

everybody sees.

What do you say, Blanche? You up for another tattoo on your butt?

Lance, I need to talk with you. Well, don't we even get a good morning, Mr.

Grumpy? I'm sorry. Good morning. Oh, come on. You can do better than that.

You know, I used to be grumpy like you in the morning. And then I promised

myself I was going to start each day with a happy little song to be more

And it works. I mean, something like Red Red Robin or Zippity -Doo -Dah.

You really want to see a black man walking around the lobby singing Zippity

-Dah?

Unbelievable.

Blanche, you're working the front desk between 2 and 5 while I do inventory,

right? Yeah, that's right.

Okay, I'm going to take over at 3.

Ken McGowan, the guy who writes that syndicated column for the Times, he's

checking in today.

He is? Yeah. So I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong. So if it's okay

with you, I'd feel more comfortable if I checked him in. Oh, well, I really

appreciate that, Roland, but I think I'd rather handle it myself.

Really, Blanche? Why don't you let me? Well, because I think the person in

charge of the hotel ought to check him in. I have an idea.

No, really.

In this case, I think I should be the one... You heard my decision.

Fine. If this is what you want to do, do it. Well, thank you.

Lex, don't you think that was a little rough?

You know how sensitive Roland is, and we can't run this hotel without him. I

know it, but sometimes Roland just takes too much for granted, and we cannot

have that.

Now, he's got to learn that I own this hotel.

You mean we own this hotel?

Yeah, yeah, we.

All right, our time. Let's roll.

What are you all doing this afternoon?

I'm handing out flyers with talking proof.

I told you not to tell people my Indian name.

Wait a minute. These flyers have coupons for free margaritas.

Yeah, the plan is they come here, get loaded, we take their car keys, then

have to check in.

of my get drunk and wake up in a strange hotel america campaign

you're not handing out those flyers sophia golden palace

you can't stop me you have to check in that vip he's got homework to do so

repeat one year

I went down to the television station to check on advertising rates for the

hotel. Rose, I told you we can't afford that. Listen to me, listen to me. And I

ran into an old friend who's producing the Barbara LeGrant show, the afternoon

talk show.

Anyway, we struck a deal, and starting today, they're going to plug the hotel

TV. All we have to do is put up the guests from their show.

Starting today, you did this without checking with me?

Oh, I had to act fast. I mean, a lot of other hotels were after this.

I thought you'd be happy.

I am. I just wish you'd check with me first.

I do check with you first.

That's why I didn't run right out and buy the hotel mascot.

Mascot? For the slogan I came up with.

The Golden Palace.

Not a bad place to stay.

Listen to me.

No sheep, Rose.

No sheep. sheep bros, new sheep bros, that's all I ever hear from you.

Hey, Blanche, who told Sophia to hand out these flyers on the corner? She got

away from me. Well, I think it's hard to maintain the hotel's classy image with

the old lady and the kid out front going, check it out, check it out.

Take care of it later.

Well, what are you doing here? You're not through with inventory already?

Well, you said the person in charge should check in Mr. McGowan, and since

obviously aren't in charge here... Oh, wait a minute. Are you saying that I

cannot run a hotel?

I happen to make important decisions every day.

I'm not looking for a fight here, Blanche. Who is this Ken McGowan anyway?

hack writer for a two -bit tabloid? I'm Ken McGowan. And I'm a fan.

Nice to see you again, Mr. McGowan. I have a reservation.

Yes, indeedy, you certainly do. I have put you in room 302, our largest suite.

Okay. Perhaps Mr. McGowan would be happier in suite 306. It has a lovely

view. Okay.

Yes, but 306 also faces the street. I'm sure he'd rather be in 302 besides I've

already sent a basket of fruit up there.

Okay. And champagne?

Perhaps Mr. McGowan would like a little iced champagne after his long trip?

Actually, I have a coupon for a free margarita.

Okay.

Well, um, I'll show you both of the rooms, and then you can judge for

Okay. Just follow me, please, Miss McGowan.

Did you see that? He usurped me.

Goldie Pals.

Yes, she is. Rose.

It's a Jason from Unusual Pets.

I can't imagine what this is.

Probably a wrong number.

Cancel the sheep.

Hello, Oliver. Can you give me some steaks?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

That bread smells good.

Joey, where did you learn to cook?

Well, when I was 18, I went to the Fashion Institute of Technology.

I had this dream.

I wanted to design clothes, you know, make an impact, redefine the male image.

Also, I drew number seven in the draft lottery.

So it was in the service that I learned how to cook.

Well, here you go.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, man, this is frozen solid.

Yeah. Sophia put all the meat that was in the refrigerator back in the freezer

to make meat for the margarita mix.

She's expecting a Russian tonight.

See you later.

Oh, man, doesn't Sophia know when you defrost meat, you have to cook it?

If you try to refreeze it, people could get sick, maybe even die.

Well, I'm ready to help.

Hey, how about if I make a nice little hamburger first?

See?

Sophia, all the meat was ruined and made room for your margarita mix.

So call up the butcher and order some meat.

So call up the butcher and order some meat.

Yeah, I could do that.

Yo, Jose, it's Chewy down at the Golden Palace.

Yeah, I need some meat for tonight.

I don't care it costs extra. I need it for tonight. Hey, what's going on?

Look, I don't care about special delivery charges. I need it tonight.

Hang up that phone.

Wait a minute, the boss is giving me a dirty look.

No, no, not Roland, the lady I told you about.

Kitchen has to be initialed by me first.

Blanche, you're in here. You're supposed to be at the front desk.

Roland, I'm not in a good mood right now.

You tried singing Zippity -Doo -Dah?

There you go.

Hey, what are you doing here anyway? It isn't 4 .30 yet. My shift isn't over

till 5. Oh, it's almost 5. time for our promo on tv what promo oh i got us a

plug on the barbara grant show all we have to do is put up her guests now

so she said i should check with her first yeah me too me too man she said i

to check everything with her first man just go back to the old way of doing

things hey that's twice you've usurped me and if you have any other problems

chewy you come to me thrice i got work to do

Roland, I'm talking to you.

Will you please listen to me?

Roland? Blanche, look, everyone here is trying to do a job, but you're always on

our backs. Just lighten up a little.

Well, you seem to be forgetting that I own this hotel.

We? Yeah, yeah, we.

But I am the boss. You do not contradict me. Now, look, before this fight gets

any worse, I just want you to go on a break so I can cool off.

Blanche, come here. Our promo's on.

Oh. Guests of the Barbara LeGrand show stay at the lovely Golden Palace Hotel

Miami. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea, Rose.

Thanks for watching and tune in tomorrow when our topic is men who kill and are

set free.

Did you say that you're doing the Barbara LeGrand show tomorrow?

Yes, I'm a guest on the show tomorrow.

And I'm very nervous about it, so I need a room that's very quiet.

Our rooms are quiet.

Of course, not so quiet that you wouldn't hear somebody scream for help.

In that case, give me a room away from people.

You see, I'm a loner.

Nothing wrong with being a loner, Roach.

Why don't you come over here and help me check in? Mr., uh, um... Cosé. Gordon

M. Cosé.

And what does the M stand for?

McRae. My parents were big fans of Gordon McRae.

So all my life I grew up hearing, why can't you be more like Gordon McRae?

How are you supposed to be more like Gordon McRae?

I don't know.

I don't know.

They would give you a hand with your bag.

Please don't touch my things.

I hate it when people touch my things.

Don't touch his things, Rose. I can't touch his things. Don't you worry about

thing now. Look here, we're going to put you in room 312.

It's very quiet, Mr. McRae. I'll say!

McRae's just my stupid middle name.

I'm going to my room now.

Go, go with God.

Chewie, the killer wants his steak, and he wants it right now.

Yeah, well, I sent Oliver out to get him one. I don't think he'll wait much

longer. Well, say if he wants another free margarita. I tried that.

He's worried about what the salt will do to his blood pressure.

Well, say if he wants some nachos or something.

It's meat, man. We need meat.

Okay, look, I'll just go out and reason with him, okay?

I mean, even a nut can understand I can't cook a mistake if I don't have

Look, I'll just explain the situation and have him order something else.

Where's my meat?

We need meat, man.

I bet three.

You're bluffing, Grandma.

What's going on down here? Oh, Sophia got my pot.

Oh, well, she's a good cook, too. I'm sure she'll use it well.

No, not that pot. The other kind.

All right, what in the hell is going on here?

What? We were playing poker and she won.

What'd you think?

Oh. Wait a minute.

Blanks, I'm shocked.

Do I look like the kind of guy that would smoke marijuana?

There you go.

How many of those have you had?

Seven.

You can't drink that much tequila.

There's no tequila in this. I'm just whacked out on blood sugar. Whee!

Oh, I'm so glad you're all here.

I can't sleep as long as that man is in this hotel.

Well, I can't sleep either, but not because I'm scared.

Because I'm so mad at Roland.

And I'm a little bit mad at you all, too.

What if we do?

Well, you're not supporting me.

Rosie, you have any idea how important this hotel is to me.

All my life, I've wondered what it would be like to run my own business.

You know, I can remember when I was younger and wanting to go into business

myself. Now, I sat myself down and I said, what is it that I'm really good at

that would make me a lot of money?

It had to be something I enjoyed doing.

And something that would benefit mankind.

And, of course, it had to be something that was legal.

Oh.

Did you ever go into business, Sophia?

Yeah, I ran it out of our apartment in Brooklyn.

I put a sign outside that read, See Dorothy, World's Biggest Baby, 25 cents.

Charlie and I were going to start a business once.

We'd been on a trip to Washington, D .C., and we poured every dollar we had

getting the race to run the gift shop at the White House. The White House

belongs to the government. Private citizens can't run a gift shop there. I

I know. All right, I know.

So, see, Blanche, we've all had our dreams, but we all want the hotel to

especially Roland.

I mean, you're getting mad at him for wanting the same thing you want.

Roland's young. He has plenty of time for his dreams.

Besides, he ought to apologize to me.

I'll go to bed.

Would you look in on Oliver?

Yeah, sure. Good night.

Roland, hi, it's me.

Would you check on Oliver and make sure everything's okay?

Thanks.

What are you doing, Rose?

Putting our hotel back together.

Came by to say goodnight, honey.

Thanks. Can we talk?

Talk? Why, sure. What do you want to talk about?

Why do you hate Roland?

Oh, Oliver, I don't hate Roland.

We're just having a little misunderstanding. You see, I just want

for this hotel.

Doesn't Roland want what's best for the hotel, too?

I mean, why wouldn't he? This is our home.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

I'm sorry, I just came to say goodnight.

Well, aren't you going to go after him? Yeah, yeah, I know when I'm licked.

Roland.

Come on, man.

What, you want me to check with you if I want to say goodnight to Oliver now?

Blanche, look, I'm his foster parent. I think I should be allowed to say

goodnight to him. Roland, I'm going to make this short.

You certainly do know a lot about the hotel business, so why don't you

doing what you were doing before I...

Started my little reign of terror.

That's it?

What do you mean, that's it?

I don't even rate an apology?

That was my apology.

Excuse me? No, no, no. That was... I may have been a little bit wrong, but now

that things are falling apart at the hotel, could you please go back to

it, Roland?

You're just being oversensitive.

weird, man.

Just try talking to people and don't yell all the time.

That's some good advice.

Lady, can I give you some? Hell yeah.

Come here.

Everybody needs to be needed.

Why don't you just tell them that you need them?

Do it!

I need you. I need you too.

great no you were better no listen i meant what i said i

think maybe in my quest to make this hotel work i sometimes forget to tell

people around me how much i need them but i do need you roland and i apologize

accept thank you and and i apologize too okay okay okay and and i'm really glad

you stopped by to tell all of a good night

I have to admit, I was a little scared.

Oh, there's nothing to be scared about.

I did it!

I did it! Run. Run this way. Run.

Oh, no.

Look who's up. Good afternoon, sleepyhead. How's that sugar hangover?

Dry up your own healed mattress, queen.

Good afternoon, Sophia.

I'm gonna hurl.

Hurry up. The Barbara LeGrand show's coming on. Don't you want to see our

Oh, yeah, that poor, poor man. You know, he was kind of sad when you think of

it.

And welcome.

Today's topic, men who kill and are set free.

Just look at him, that poor, sad, scared thing.

My first guest is from the Gainesville prison for the criminally insane.

Head psychiatrist, Dr.

Gordon M. Cosey.

I can't believe that he's a psychiatrist.

Well, I guess I didn't make such a stupid mistake after all.
