The Hotel New Hampshire Page #4

---

Four. Three. Two. One.

Happy New Year!

Switch.

Should old aquaintance

be forgot

and never brought to mind.

Should old aquaintance

be forgot...

- Where did you learn to do that?

- Come on, I'll show you.

You okay?

You know, you could get a job

on television kissing like that.

Do it again.

I bet you can't. I bet it was

beginner's luck.

Jesus!

Wait.

I have to use the washroom.

Bitty, Jesus Christ!

These people are insane.

What's going on?

Fainted while diaphragming

herself.

Bitty, wake up. Wake up.

It's just Sorrow, Bitty.

I tried to dry him up but he caught on

fire. I wanted to make him nice again.

Egg, Sorrow'll never ber nice.

By definition Sorrow was not nice.

Hey, no ofence to your sister,

but I'm very horny.

Ditto. No offence to yours.

You wanna hit on those two girls

at the bar?

I'm gonna pass.

Don't bother.

As soon as I handle

this littel problem,

I'll take a little walk in the moonlight

with you.

I'm sorry. I didn't want to spill it all.

I'll come up with you.

Wait a minute.

Yes.

I'm picking Sleazy up at this party.

You wanna come?

No. No, thank you.

Chicken sh*t!

Kids today have no spunk!

Squirrel dink!

Good night, Miss Wales.

Thank you for the music.

Vienna?

- What do you know about Vienna?

- What did I know about motorcyles?

Or bears?

Freud says in his letter he's got

a new hotel.

And he wants us to come

and help him work it.

- Hi everybody.

- Hi, Junior.

- Hello, Junior.

- Hi Mrs. Berry, Mr. Berry.

How you doing?

- Good morning, Junior.

- Hi, Frank. How you doing?

- Hi, Junior.

- How you doing, love?

How did it go last night, Junior?

Franny, what do you think

about moving to Vienna?

I think it'll be more sophisticated

than staying here.

Well...

what am I gonna do

without you?

- You did okay last night.

- The pot calling the kettle black.

John?

- Take me to Vienna with you.

- I'll ask Pop.

No, you won't.

It doesn't matter.

What's the matter with you?

The kids will all be f***ed up.

Who could be more f***ed up

than them at Dairy School?

There's f***ed up and there's

foreign and f***ed up.

I'm really worried about Franny.

She'll get over it.

Something must be

bothering her.

She won't even think

of sleeping with me.

She's still young.

I wish you'd speak to her.

Hey kiddo, wake up, wake up.

You've had a bad dream.

Jesus God!

Why does Frank have to spring

the damn dog on everyone?

You see?

It's your friend.

- He's smiling.

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry, but I don't like Sorrow.

- You don't like him?

He's very real, Frank, but he's dead.

I don't find dead things amusing.

Maybe it's okay.

Can I take him to Vienna?

If we go.

If we sell the hotel.

I've sold it.

Honey! Well!

- Freud must be 100 years old now.

- You know what he always said.

'I just keep passing

the open windows.'

What does 'keep passing

the open windows' mean?

Freud once told me

this story.

Once this...

There was this...

street clown

called the King of Mocks.

Nobody seemed to have

loved him in life

and now that he's dead,

everybody missed him.

Well, as Freud said,

'lt's hard work

and great art

to make life not so serious.'

All right, bedtime.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Hey, kiddo.

What does 'keep passing

the open windows' mean?

It's just an expression that means

'keep on living' I guess.

If you see an open window,

don't jump out. Good night.

I just don't know what it would mean

with Junior. Not yet.

It just seems like...

as soon as someone gets

to have you,

or some people get to have you,

you never hear from them at all.

What do you mean?

I've not heard one word from

Chipper Dove, not a single word.

Can you imagine that?

I don't suppose you've written

to him either?

Yeah, twice. I think

that's enough.

Why the f*** did you write him

at all?

I was in love with him.

I mean, I still am.

Wait a minute.

Let's just say he fell in love

with me.

Now if that happened, if he

fell in love with me,

maybe I wouldn't love him any more.

Then I'd really get him.

- You know what, Franny?

- What?

I don't think we can get to Vienna

quick enough.

- See you tomorrow, huh?

- But I wanna go today.

No, you and I are gonna follow

in another plane tomorrow.

I've got a little to finish

up here.

So when you arrive, everything

will be ready.

Come on.

Come on, it's okay.

- I don't wannna leave.

- I know.

- I wanna go to...

- I know.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Bye, I love you.

- See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow, darling.

Bye.

Bye, Dad.

Bye.

Bye.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Bye.

Keep running, John-O.

Off we went in pursuit

of a new hotel.

And arrived in Freud's Vienna.

Spooky.

It's old.

Is that you?

Win Berry?

Over here.

You didn't know I was blind.

The Germans did that.

Hi.

Keep your hands to yourself, kid!

Susie is from Europe, but you do know

she went to college in New York?

She's very smart.

I went to Sarah Lawrence,

but I dropped out.

What an elitistic crock of sh*t!

She was the only bear I could find

who was really smart.

Now we have a grand hotel.

Now we're gonna have a future.

But we gotta get organized.

We gotta move everyone around.

Who's everyone?

The whores. The radicals.

Already you Americans change

your hotel to suit you.

We need this floor

for guests who pay.

Moving downstairs will be

better for you.

- Let me give you a hand.

- No!

No.

That guy is weird. Susie,

don't go out with him.

I don't go out with men, honey.

- Lf you want to help you can help.

- They all have code names.

And that one is Miss Miscarriage.

She's never had sex.

That's their idea of humor.

Sorry.

Thank you.

"The Great Gatsby".

Do you like it?

So, what exactly are

your politics?

- Change f***ing everything.

- To root out all that's rotten.

That guy looks like Chipper Dove.

You're an animal! You represent

the compromise!

- You are crazy!

- Americans are spying us.

- Get out! Get out!

- Shut up!

And f*** you too!

I didn't like the way that guy

looked at you.

They are all so scary.

They look straight at you,

but don't even see you.

There's gonna be sex and violence.

I hear the girls coming in

for work.

- Good mornig.

- That's Babette.

- Good mornig.

- Dark Inga.

- Her mother. Screaming Annie.

- Good mornig.

Screaming Annie's got the best

fake orgasm in the business.

I don't think Mother's gonna

like it here.

What went wrong went wrong

quickly.

Sorrow floats too.

It was when Mother and Egg

were gone

that we knew we really were

in a foreign country.

There's no point.

That's the whole point.

You get on a plane and it

doesn't crash.

That means you got on

the right plane. That's all it means.

From now on I'm gonna be mother.

I'm gonna take care of you and you...

I wanna grow up.

I wanna change.

I'm gonna stop swearing.

You're not gonna say 'f***',

'sh*t' or 'cocksucker', 'ln your ear',

'out your ass', anything any more?

- That's right.

- It would have pleased Mother.
