Maid In Manhattan Page #6

Yes, that's it.

All handles parallel

with the right elbow.

Review your protocols

for table setting and wine service.

We're serving lunch

at the York Suite today.

Butler service, Mr. Marshall.

Come on in.

Rufus, it's okay.

Thank you.

Water glasses 3 inches east

of the wine goblets.

-Make a perfect triangle.

-Yes, sir.

Hold on, l'm coming.

You're an animal lover too!

So am l.

I just can't get enough of them.

What a wonderful idea.

Lunch deux. Lovely!

I just knew that we made

a connection at the...

...Feathered Friends Tournament.

Look!

How sweet of you to remember.

But l hope you didn't think

l needed reminding.

Teddy Parrish sends you his best.

Oh, Teddy.

Right. Yeah.

How is Teddy?

Drinking again,

but you didn't hear it from me.

Excuse me,

l gotta check on something.

Of course.

Who is that over there?

Caroline Lane.

No. No, it's not her.

-It's not her?

-No.

The Maddox thing.

-Are you going?

-Of course.

You know who l can't figure out

where l know them from?

The woman visiting you

the other day...

...kind of Mediterranean,

with a little boy about 1 0.

Rachel Hoffberg, Mediterranean?

She's from Westport.

She's premenopausal,

but don't tell her l said so.

You're staying in the Park Suite,

right, Caroline?

Yes. Yes, l am.

Good.

Well, it's the damnedest thing.

This salmon is perfect.

Your whole presentation today

has been excellent. Well done.

Thank you.

Make sure you tuck it in tightly.

She's about 5'6", dark hair,

really beautiful, has a kid named Ty.

What the hell happened?

-I'm sorry, sir.

-Don't be sorry. Just find her.

Chris, l loved your quote

in The Times.

Please!

We're all here to try to land

the Rothford Estate. It's worth zillions.

And Sotheby's are counting on me

to lock the whole thing up.

-Thank you so much.

-Really?

Rufus, come here.

Thank you.

Sit. Sit.

Maria, could l have a little water,

please?

-Good boy.

-Such a sweet dog.

Allow me.

-That will be all.

-You know Nettie Rothford.

Sure.

She and l virtually grew up together.

Her place was bang

next to Daddy's on the Vineyard.

-Right there.

-Good evening.

Another interesting day now,

huh, Marisa?

-I don't know. Was it?

-You tell me.

Nice lunch?

All right, what's up, mystery man?

How many times you watched

the monitors with me?

How many times we enjoyed

the comings and goings?

Thousands.

You know what?

You over there, nosy body.

You know l'm beholden

to report employees misbehaving.

And there's only one thing

could make me shut my mouth.

You dirty old man.

You're in trouble.

What are you laughing at?

About the silver soap dishes....

Rach, darling, l'll just be a sec.

-Hi, l'm Caroline Lane--

-In the Park Suite, yes.

-I called about a ticket to the--

-Benefit. Monday night.

We were able to procure you a single

at a table adjacent to Mr. Marshall's.

Fantastic! And how much will that be?

-Three thousand dollars.

-What?

The rates are raised

when a couple is split.

Singles are always harder to place.

Well, l mean what is it?

ls it on the lnternet l'm an ex-couple?

I mean, does the whole hotel know?

Is there a Biblical sign on my forehead?

" Unmarried, unclean"?

Do l bear the scarlet letter? l'm....

I'm....

I'm just....

Sorry. I....

I'm better now.

Just charge it to my room.

Yes, ma'am.

Come on, Rach. Ghastly man!

I am terrified to ask

what that was about.

I think, being dumped.

-Can l get your autograph?

-Amber? ls that your name?

-Amber's your name.

-How you doing?

Get in the car! Get in the car!

-Did she see us?

-Yeah. No. You're fine. All's clear.

-It's fine.

-How did this happen?

I think she's very attractive.

I had her checked out.

She comes from a family with money...

...politically neutral and

has no naked pictures.

That woman wasn't

the woman l wanted.

I don't know what to say.

I talked to the hotel manager.

That's the only Caroline Lane

staying in the Park Suite.

Wait. There she is.

That's her. Cordell, pull over.

-Hey, wait! Ty! Caroline!

-Hey, Chris!

-Hey. How's it going, Ty?

-Okay.

-How you doing?

-Good.

You want to hear something strange?

l invited you to lunch, and you came...

...only it wasn't you.

So, what happened?

-I don't know what you mean.

-Are you still staying at the Beresford?

No, we actually moved uptown.

You know, uptown.

Hop in. We're going

to the Tremont Housing Projects.

-We can drop you at the Upper East?

-Yeah, Mom!

No. Remember, we're going to a party

just a few blocks away, so we'll walk.

-So how do l get ahold of you?

-Her cell's 9-1 -7--

How about l call you?

If you want to get in touch with him,

call this number.

That's my card.

What's your last name, hon?

-Ventura. What's yours?

-Spanish?

-Jerry Spanish?

-No, Siegel. We have to go.

-So do we.

-Use that number. Call anytime.

-All right.

-Don't be shy.

-You're late. You have to give a speech.

-In the Bronx?

-On what?

-Housing projects.

Really?

You're telling people

in the Bronx about the projects?

No, l'm just gonna

take the press up there...

...and shine light

on the living conditions.

-Interesting.

-Yeah, we think so. Shall we? Okay?

-Bye.

-What are you not saying?

-Nothing.

-Tell me.

Maybe you should spend

real time in the projects...

...and then you wouldn't have to make up

speeches and memorize them.

You know, it would be coming

from someplace real.

And how would you know? l mean....

Because l grew up there.

I lived in a four-block radius

my whole life.

Bye.

Okay, let's go. Come on.

-Chris!

-What?

Shall we? Okay? Let's go.

Gotta go. Gotta go. Gotta go.

Who the hell is she?

I'll tell you who she isn't. She isn't like

anyone l've met. And she isn't a phony.

I'll make you a deal. You want me

at the benefit? Then get her to go.

I swear to God, l'll shake any

part of Maddox's body you want.

Deal?

Deal. All right, sure. Okay.

Okay, get in.

So for right now, with the review

and everything going on...

...we need to be extra careful,

all right?

That means no coming up

in the elevator to see me.

And no Chris Marshall.

-It's not like you're breaking some law.

-Hey, l mean it.

If you see him....

-I'll make like a baby and head out first.

-Thank you. Go to bed, okay?

-Good night, Ma.

-Bye, baby.

Heads up!

The Chinese delegation will be

checking into the Lexington Suite.

Please note the television channel

needs to be set to one of the Chinese....

Oh, my God. Hide me.

The Shapiros have requested

an early check-in.

So we'll put them in the Dior Suite.

Yes, sir?

-They're in the hall.

-What are they doing?

-He's got something in his hands.

-Does it look serious?

Calm down, it's just a letter.

-Find that girl.

-Certainly.

-He's coming.

-Be cool.

He's walking. Get out of here.

He's out of here.

Thank you very much. That will be all.

Now....

Are you truly interested

in management?

Yes, very much, sir.

Then l suggest that you go

to the Met tonight...

...and end all association
