• Harry Binelli : [enters the room]  Hello boss, ha ha! The rehearsal, she's a wonder!

  Gordon Miller : Hello, Binelli.

  Harry Binelli : Yes sirree, it's-a wonderful! I still think it's a terrible play, but it makes a wonderful rehearsal. Hello, room service.

  [picks up the phone] 

  Christine Marlowe : Just a minute, Binelli, you can't eat here anymore!

  Gordon Miller : Well, there's only one thing to do, Joe: I'll have to scram!

  Christine Marlowe : Gordon, I can't let you skip! You have to leave your luggage!

  Gordon Miller : All right, I'll leave my luggage. But we can wear a lot of clothes. Hey, Binelli, put on three of my suits.

  Harry Binelli : [Gordon and Gribble chatter in the background; Binelli uses the phone]  Give me room 1922. Faker? Here we go again. Come on down, give us a hand.

  Gordon Miller : Look, you don't want 22 people skipping all in one day, do you, Joe?

  Christine Marlowe : Of course not, but I...

  Gordon Miller : Honestly, Joe, their bills are charged to me, so they can't be held responsible. Now the minute I'm out, we'll have the whole cast re-register under their own names. And starting from today, instead of one big bill, you'll have 22 little ones.

  Harry Binelli : [on the phone]  Hello? Joe, it's for you.

  Christine Marlowe : [picks up the phone]  Hello? Oh... oh yes, Mr. Wagner, I'll be right down.

  Gordon Miller : I'll be out of here in 15 minutes.

  [Joe hangs up the phone] 

  Christine Marlowe : 17 years in the hotel business, and I have to pull a stunt like this!

  [Joe leaves the room]
