Bobby Page #6

and eight grandchildren,

and, um...

I suppose I missed out

quite a bit,

being here all the time,

working here,

I mean.

You know, it has to be said,

in those days,

your job was your life

because your-your life

depended on it.

I remember my wife

said to me once,

she said, "You know, John,

I think you-you love that hotel

more than you love me. "

Perhaps she was right.

And you're still in check.

D Forever and ever d

d There's a kind of hush d

Oh, hi.

D All over the world d

- d Tonight d

- I think, after five years,

the entire staff knows

we're married, Paul.

- D Of lovers in love d

- I guess.

So it would probably be safe

to steal a little kiss

now and then.

And you have to eat lunch

more than once every two weeks.

Salad?

Is that all I get?

Yes.

Well, you had

a heck of a morning.

Which you slept through.

Hey! My name tag

does not say "manager" on it.

Hey, I'll switch with you.

I'll be the stylist

of the stars.

Oh!

And you can start

with Virginia Fallon.

- D It isn't a dream d

- Okay.

- So sad...

- d The only sound d

- That woman.

- D That you will hear d

d Is when I whisper

in your ear d

- Tonight's her last show.

- D I love you... d

She's not booked here

at the Grove until next fall.

Can we go on vacation that week?

Hey, did you vote?

I tried,

but the line was too long.

I've got some, um...

it's "yes" on Proposition 1.

That's the Veterans' Bond Act.

"No" on 2.

Mills for supervisor, not Hahn.

Cranston, Sheinbaum.

Of course Bobby.

Also, on the, um...

What?

D La-la, la-la,

la-la, la-la, la... d

What? What is it?

Your hair, your suit...

you know, it might say 1968,

but your attitude

is pure 1920.

Well, look,

if they don't close the deal

by the end of the day,

then we're out...

Uh, he just came in.

Aw, you're the best.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Mr. Fallon.

Afternoon, Mario.

Tim, did you know

that Mario's family's

from Portofino?

We spent two weeks

there last summer.

Tim simply adores it.

He adores...

I had to drag him

off the beaches

to go to work.

Can I get you anything

else, Mrs. Fallon?

No, we're fine, Mario.

Thank you.

Oh, Tim, can you give Mario?

Very well.

Have a nice night

and a wonderful show,

Mrs. Fallon.

Thank you, Mario.

Hello, Tim.

Phil.

Virginia woke up,

couldn't find you.

We were nervous.

We were, huh?

Phil has lots to tell you

about Vegas next month, baby.

- That's right.

- Oh, yeah?

Has it changed since

the last time we were there?

Lots of hotels and casinos

in the middle of the desert,

as I remember it.

What, they get rid of gambling?

We booked the Flamingo, Tim.

Four weeks in July!

I booked the Flamingo.

Guys, four weeks in Vegas

in the middle of summer?

That's not a booking.

That's a sentence, Phil.

Tim, come on.

No, no, no, you come on.

Who the hell wants to spend

four weeks in Vegas in July?

I'll tell you who: Nobody.

What happened to that picture

that you promised us?

Things are slow

at the studios, Tim.

The Vegas deal is a good deal.

Good for who?

Tim, give it a rest.

It's not like you

have to perform.

What the hell is this,

Virginia?

Well, from the looks of it,

a very fine

single malt Scotch, Tim.

Thought we had an agreement.

I haven't had a drink all day.

You've been sleeping all day.

Tim, there is a time

and a place...

Hey, you know,

believe it or not, Virginia,

people do eat food

every now and again.

Take your f***ing judgment

and check it at the door.

I don't need you to babysit.

You don't want to go to Vegas?

It's too hot?

Well, then, get out.

I'm the reason we have all this,

not you.

- Nobody's saying that you...

- Phil, shut the f*** up!

People come to see me.

People love me.

They love me.

So if I want to have

one f***ing drink,

I'm going to have

one f***ing drink,

because I deserve it.

That's the new

agreement, sweetheart.

You have a 5:
00

hair appointment.

You're on stage at 9:00 sharp.

You'll have a 45-minute break,

then you're introducing Senator

Kennedy in the Embassy Ballroom.

Try and stay sober enough

to not embarrass us

in front of the next president.

I've heard a rumor

that someone's trying to unload

tickets for tonight's

Dodgers game.

It's Drysdale's night.

Tell me about it.

Six consecutive.

He's gonna do it tonight.

Not since 1904... 64 years.

Yeah, I know.

They're yours, man.

But we haven't

discussed a price.

There is no price.

Enjoy the game.

You could've just gone, Jose.

And tomorrow... then what?

I would've been out on the

street looking for another job.

That's you.

Little man...

that's you.

The story of King Arthur.

Knights of the Round Table,

Merlin the magician.

You have heard of it, of course.

Yeah.

We read the stories in school.

Then you know that Arthur

wasn't always a king.

He was a young man once,

like you.

You, Jose, are a young king.

Kind, caring, humble.

Eager for adventure.

And so... I thank you, humbly,

for these tickets, my young

brother, my young king.

A chivalrous act.

Chivalrous act, indeed.

Hey, Edward.

Hey, save a... save a ticket

stub for me, okay?

You bet I will.

Go, Dodgers.

Yeah.

Go, Dodgers.

Ah...

Nice shot.

It's 40-love.

All right.

How come we only play tennis

when we come to Los Angeles?

That was... that was...

I'm s... Bring it in.

We-We gotta discuss.

- Let's talk. Okay.

- We gotta talk.

How long does this stuff last?

I don't know, man.

I am freakin' out right now.

Me, too.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

Play-Play tennis.

What's wrong?

Good.

What's the matter, Nelson?

I don't know if it's

because of my age

or that I simply can't remember.

I, uh... I keep

losing track of things...

my keys, my cane, my socks.

I don't even know in

what drawer I put my underwear.

I got lost

on the way home today.

That's never happened

to me before.

No.

Well...

You know,

perhaps it's just a phase.

No.

This is no phase, Casey.

It's about growing old.

Old bones, old face, old man.

I hate it.

I hate retirement.

Yeah.

Makes me... feel useless.

Yeah.

Hey, how 'bout

a nice cup of tea?

Tea?

Yeah.

Tea is a drink

for old white folks.

How 'bout a Scotch?

Well, a Scotch.

I don't know; could be arranged.

Make it a double.

On the rocks.

in South Dakota

have McCarthy and

Senator Kennedy in a dead heat.

Large gallery,

including several FBI agents...

How long has it been

since you've slept?

I'm tellin' you, man,

there better be some Cabinet

positions in this for us.

I got dibs

on Secretary of State.

Hey, you can have it.

I want something with

a little lower profile.

Like Secretary

of Transportation.

Sounds a little boring,

but if that's what you want,

you can ask the man yourself.

Okay, I will.

He specifically asked

to meet you.

He wants to thank you for all

your help on the campaign.

You're... kidding, right?

He sent word

with the advance team.

He asked to meet you.

Yeah, you're okay.

Robert Kennedy and some people

who aren't registered this year.
