How come
you never told me this before?
I didn't want you to do
Holding me up for more money.
Which I'm happy to pay.
As God is my witness.
As God is your witness, huh?
As God is your witness?
All right. I'm prepared to offer you
50 cents more an hour!
75 cents more an hour. 75.
Ms. Byrd, $1 more an hour. $1.50.
Hey, Georgia. Your shift done already?
Yeah, I'm done.
Listen, I feel terrible
about what happened the other day.
- I wanted to make it up to you.
- It wasn't your fault.
Well, anyway...
Hey, I have a pair of tickets
to the Hornets game.
Now, the game
but I know you're a busy woman,
so I wanted to put my bid in early.
Sean, there is nothing I would rather do
than to go to that game with you.
Yeah? That's great.
Well, look, I figured we'll go
to dinner early, then after the game...
I can't go, Sean.
I mean, it's not like I don't want to. I...
I can't.
You have to be somewhere else.
Yeah.
Hey, well, Georgia. Georgia!
Look.
I already paid for the ticket, so...
maybe your plans might change, huh?
Brothers and Sisters...
I'm sad to announce that...
Senator Dillings will not be gracing
our flock this morning as planned.
Pressing business
in our nation's capital has kept him.
But I'd like to take a moment of prayer
for the Senator.
He toils so hard
toting the burden of our welfare.
And I ask the good Lord
to guide his hand...
in his important good works. Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Oh, why me?
- Oh, dear Lord, why me?
- Georgia?
Why me, Lord? Why me, Lord?
- Oh, dear Lord! Lord, why me?
- Bless the Lord.
Oh, Lord, no!
Oh, no, no.
Lord! Lord, come on!
Come on, Lord, why?
I don't understand!
I followed your Commandments, Lord
I followed your Commandments, Lord
Why in heavens me?
Why in heavens me?
Why in heavens me, Lord?
Why in heavens me?
or nothing like that!
Why in heavens me, Lord?
Why in heavens me?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
- Why?
Come on, now, somebody tell me why!
- Why?
- Why?
Why, Lord?
Why, Lord?
- Why, please?
- Why?
I got to know
I got to know, God!
Why me?
Why? Oh, why?
Why, Lord? Why? Oh, come on
Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why?
You're sure you want to liquidate
the entire IRA? All of it?
Yeah, and the bonds my mama left me.
Well, I'm sure a disciplined woman
such as yourself...
has a very useful purpose
for this money.
Yes, I do.
I'm just gonna blow it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we want to thank you...
for flying with us on Christmas Day.
We're going to make your trip
as comfortable as possible.
Stewardess...
this person behind me
is giving me a hard time.
Okay, sure, sir.
Ma'am, would you mind
lowering your knees...
so the gentleman in front of you
can put his seat back down?
Actually, I very much would mind.
Am I going to have to
call the Air Marshal, ma'am?
People been calling me ma'am
a lot lately...
and, you know,
I'm hardly older than you.
Do people call you ma'am?
No... No, they don't.
Yes. Yes, there is.
I'm gonna tell you what the problem is.
This greedy airline put all these seats
so close together...
just so they can make more money.
- Makes sense.
- Yeah.
All right?
Now, I'm not flying
all the way to Prague...
with some stranger in my lap.
I know that's right.
That's a big boy.
That's a big old man right there.
I can't... Look at him.
Had you chosen to fly first class...
Ma'am? Hi.
Had you chosen to fly first class
instead of economy...
you would have had plenty of room
in one of our cocoons.
- How much is it?
- Beg your pardon?
How much for the damn cocoon?
- Work it!
- I like that.
- All right.
- Hear, hear.
flying with us during the holidays...
something special.
Thank you. Wait, don't go.
Look at that taxi line.
Oh, this is gonna take forever.
That's it. That's the Pupp.
That's the hotel I'm going to.
Who is that?
- What's going on?
- I'm not sure, Congressman.
Who is that?
All I know, Senator, is that the last time
someone arrived by helicopter...
it was Elton John. Sir Elton John.
Wow.
Hello. Welcome!
- Thank you.
- Welcoming.
- You are here for retreat of the health?
How are you?
Well I'm hung-over, I'm jet-lagged.
I'm dying.
- Other than that, I'm fine, thank you.
- Great, great.
Oh, you are from Louisiana?
Your Senator Dillings, he here now.
Skiing.
- Senator Dillings is here skiing?
- Yes.
Well, that explains why he didn't make it
to our meeting on Sunday.
- Please, I'll meet you at reception desk.
- Okay.
And here I was thinking I might not fit in.
- Madame Byrd?
Welcome to Grandhotel Pupp.
Come on. Y'all really say it like that?
- Pupp.
- Pupp.
- Pupp.
- Pupp.
I'm sorry, Miss Byrd,
but your room is not ready yet.
We weren't expecting you
for two more hours.
Well, I wasn't expecting
to take a helicopter.
But my time is kind of precious
lately now.
Don't y'all have anything available now?
I'll check it.
Don't that ceiling ever just
make you want to cry?
I've never noticed, madam.
Only the presidential suite.
It's 3,000 a night.
About $4,000 a night.
Did you see me blink?
Madam Byrd, welcome.
I know that you will find our
presidential suite most comfortable.
- Mr. Kragen, would you sign my book?
- Yes.
- Matthew Kragen.
- You know Mr. Kragen?
We are so honored that he comes
to our hotel every year at this time.
- You playing with me, right?
- Pardon me?
- Oh, not you, Him.
- Excuse me.
Is the spelling okay?
You get yourself
young, hip and rich, okay?
- Thank you.
- Mr. Kragen, sir.
- I hope everything's okay.
- Wonderful, Arturo, wonderful.
- And will Mrs. Kragen be joining us?
- Well, not this trip, Arturo.
This is strictly business.
As always, if there's anything,
even the slightest thing, you will tell me.
- Well, I won't, but she will.
- Lf I need you, I'll call you.
Excellent.
Can you believe that?
Don't worry about it. Now, listen,
just double-check everything...
and I want to keep tabs
on the Congressman and the Senator.
Schmooze, impress, whatever it takes.
This deal's got to happen.
Madam Byrd.
Felipe will show you to your suite.
Okay.
Matthew, Miss Burns.
The Senator's gone skiing
for the 83rd time. Let's go have a drink.
Get upstairs and put some silk on.
Congressman!
If it's any consolation,
he's gonna have a shitty fourth quarter.
Who is that?
Oh, Mademoiselle Byrd. Very rich.
From Louisiana.
She and Senator Dillings
were supposed to have...
a very important meeting together.
Hang on, let me give you a little
something for your troubles.
I haven't quite figured out
this money yet.
Did I just give you
a ridiculously large tip?
