BETTY:
Fifty bucks!
TED:
You're shirking your duties for this Nazi. For that you pay
a price, and the price is fifty bucks.
BETTY:
One, Horst is not a Nazi. Two, that's not a fair price. You're
taking advantage of the situation. Twenty bucks. Now,
twenty bucks is a fair price.
TED:
Yeah, but what you're doin' to me ain't fair. And, you are
completely and totally taking advantage of me and your
position. So fifty bucks is the perfect price.
Betty begrudgingly digs in her purse.
BETTY:
Okay, but don't be a p*ssy. You don't bother me unless it's
an emergency. In fact, for fifty bucks, you better not call me
unless the f***in' building's burning down.
She gives him the money.
BETTY:
Get ready to take the desk.
Betty leaves.
Ted sits in the chair, takes another drink, and prepares himself for the
night.
FADE TO BLACK:
STORY TITLE CARD:
room 321
"STRANGE BREW"
FADE IN:
EXT. THE MON SIGNOR HOTEL--DUSK
Ted, the bellboy, meets his first guest of the evening, as a taxi unloads
her luggage. To his warm surprise, the guest is a Beautiful Mediterranean
Goddess (actually, we will come to see she is not technically a goddess,
but a High Priestess). She is about 25 years old, speaks with an Italian
accent and is dressed in Gypsy garb. She is Athena.
Ted takes Athena's luggage onto his cart. But one item in a woven Moroccan
bag proves to be unbearably heavy. Athena is concerned as he attempts to
lift it.
ATHENA:
Pleeze be careful--my God. You have no idea . . .
Ted strains as he uses all his cojones to lift the insanely heavy bag onto
the cart. Athena tips the cab driver, stingily. The driver winces and gets
in the cab. Ted has now managed with grunts and groans and strained blood
vessels to put this thing on the cart. The cab skids away. Athena looks at
Ted, who is out of breath.
ATHENA:
I'm usually a good tipper, but this one--this cab
driver--he had green all around him. I don't like that in a man.
Ted wheezes and pounds on his chest.
TED:
Green? Is that bad? Like you read auras or something like that?
ATHENA:
Something like that.
TED:
Yeah, well what color are you seein' around me . . . how's
the tip lookin?
ATHENA:
I see purple . . . in your face, and . . .
As if she can't help herself, Athena's eyes are strangely drawn to his
crotch. She frowns, confused by this impulse. Ted appears to be charmingly
oblivious.
Athena looks back into his face.
ATHENA:
. . . you're okay.
Ted touches his face--as if searching for the "purple" in it--and moves the
cart inside, discreetly checking out his crotch and giving her a confused
side glance.
INT. FRONT DESK--DUSK
Ted shifts hats to check the girl in. He checks her reservation.
ATHENA:
Athena Z.
TED:
(scratching his head--weird name, okay)
You're booked in the Honeymoon Suite--just one night?
With all this luggage?
ATHENA:
I will only need to stay till sunrise.
TED:
Okay . . . and how will you be paying?
ATHENA:
With gold.
He looks at this wacky Gypsy chick numbly--she pulls out her Gold Card and
smiles.
EXT. ELEVATOR--DUSK
The doors open and Ted and Athena emerge upon the third floor. Ted follows
Athena with the cart down the hallway to her room.
Ted opens the door, then lifts the easiest bags first. In the center of the
room is a Jacuzzi with hokey plastic cupids poised with urns on each side.
A dormant fireplace looms beyond the still hot tub.
Ted stares at the heavy bag with anxiety--then looks in front of him to
Athena as she rubs the round plastic head of a little Cupid and mumbles,
"Perfect." Then, arms open wide, chin lifted to heaven, eyes closed, she
mumbles a faint incantation. Then she does a belly-dance wiggle and turns
to Ted, who is truly perplexed.
ATHENA:
Well--the other bag--I need it.
TED:
Right.
He starts to lift it, again straining and turning purple. He laughs sickly.
TED:
What the hell you got in here, lady? Nuclear weapons?
She relieves him of the task and effortlessly picks up the bag.
ATHENA:
(dryly)
Ted is stunned as she slings the bag over her shoulder and pauses to pull a
10 spot out of her cleavage. She hands it to him. Ted is grateful and
disoriented.
ATHENA:
The others will be coming soon. Send them, pleeze.
Ted nods, confused by "the others," and walks off with the cart. Then he
turns from outside the doorway.
TED:
Oh--I forgot to show you how to turn on the Jacuzzi.
But Athena is ahead of him--she flips a switch and water begins to flow
from the baby cupids' urns into the hot tub.
ATHENA:
I been in dis' place many New Year's. So . . . you send the
others to me, huh. Go now.
As she says this, the door closes with a strange force, shutting Ted out.
Athena takes the bag to the bedroom of the suite.
A round bed with pink tuck'n'roll headboard. It's impossible to imagine
having an orgasm in this room--unless it were achieved by laughing.
Athena carefully removes a large, beautiful white slab of stone from her
tapestry bag. She caresses it and carries it like a baby to the bed and
places it in the very center, the head of the rock resting on dusty
heart-shaped pillows.
Then she removes from her bag a pink negligee and matching high-heeled
slippers. And these she places with reverance on the bed.
ATHENA:
