She had limp too

Thank you John, you can return to you seat

Let's move on to our next

guest, room 104, day 2

Hello everyone

This is only my second day here

But already I feel like a

member of wonderful group

My defining characteristic is

that I have very beautiful smile

Something's gotten hold of my heart

Keeping my soul and my senses apart

Something's gotten into my life

Have you ever dance with anybody?

Sorry?

Have you ever dance with anybody?

Yes

What sort of dancing you should do?

Just depends on the music

Do you need to sit down?

No, no, I'm getting ready to dance

Can I sit here?

I'm sorry

Can I sit here?

Of course

Let me introduce you to my best friend

That woman you were talking

to have no feeling whatsoever

She feels nothing at all

She's the best hunter in hotel

Silent and very fast

She's the women record holder

192 captors

Changing the grey, changing the blue

Scarlet for me...

it's scarlet for you

if this is the real thing

Would you like to dance?

Every day yeah

You touch me and my mind goes astray yeah

And baby, and Baby

And baby, and Baby

Something's gotten hold of my heart

Dragging my soul to a beautiful land

Something's gotten into my life

I'm sorry, I got the blood on your shirt

But don't worry, there are many ways

to remove blood stain from clothing

One way is to wring the clothes to

cold water, then rub in sea salt

Another way is to srape the stain

with cotton ball dip in ammonia

The third way is to make flour

mold into a paste like toothpaste

Especially it the clothes are

delicate or bright color

But juse never use warm

water on blood, ever

Ok

But then you, you, you

You came my way

But then you came my way

And a feeling unknown shook my heart...

make me want you to stay

all of my nights and all of my days

I think I have to rest for a little bit

My leg hurts

That's ok

But let me know when you feel

better, and we can dance again

Keeping my soul and my senses apart

Something has invaded my light

Painting my sleep with

the colours so bright

Changing the gray changing the blue

Scarlet for me

it's scarlet for you

Leave the building in orderly fashion

Do hurry up, and please be carefully

no one should get hurt or injured...

and good luck with the hunt

I wish I didn't have this limp

I used to good at running, but not anymore

I'm sure would be slower than them

If I were you, I think of some trick

that choose element of surprise...

instead of speed

You're right

That's what I would do

Back when you loved me

You asked me one morning

while we were talking

"what was life about?"

I turned and told you

for some it's the wine

for some it's the glory

for some it's being rich

but for me it is only you

for some it's the glory

for some it's being rich

but for me it is only you

Now that your heart has changed

And you love someone else

You still wonder what they're saying

How my own heart beats

Are there perhaps more people like me exist

Dead on the inside

Alive on the outside

Dead on the inside

Alive on the outside

Room 186

One loner, one extra day

38 days left, plus one, 39

Room 180

The day of your stay remain unchanged

Room 290

Four loners, four extra days

154 days left, plus four, 158

Room 101

The day of your stay remain unchanged

32 days left

Breakfast is served

Man eats alone

How many darts did you use yesterday?

Please take off your

trousers and sit on the bed

Can we not do this today?

It's awful

I know, but I'm afraid we have to do it

And you have no idea how much

it help you psychologically...

in your search for partner

Man eats with woman

ls your room number 186?

Yes it is

I imagine you know

masturbation is not permitted

in the room or any other

area of the hotel

Yes

And yet, it is been brought to my

attention you continue to do it

Today, you became erect quicker

than other days, that's good

Please, just a little longer

Have a good day

That's awful, just awful

Are you looking at the photograph

while you masturbating?

Yes

What does the photograph show?

A naked woman on a horse in the country

If I were in your shoes I would not be

ogling the naked woman but the horse

I'm sure that horse's once

a weak and cowardly man...

just like you

Woman walks alone

Help

This is not necessary, please...

It was a accident, I just get carry away

This is not necessary

Please

Please place your hand on the toaster

This could be a warning

I've been good otherwise, I...

I'm sorry

I'm sorry, please

Please, please, I'm sorry

Woman walks with man

What they do as soon as

you enter the room...

is to wash you body and

your head really well

How did you know?

My uncle used to know a

waiter who worked here

The waiter know the procedure

They are not allow to inside that room

Nevertheless, they peel off the skin...

which has become soft due

to the watering and soap

Afterward they remove the heart, the eyes

and other vital organs of the body...

with laser or scalpels

Then the procedure changes according

to the animal one has choosen

That makes total sense

I mean I suppose mammals demand

different kind of work than...

fowl, for example

Exactly

Afterward they throw

remaining body parts of

the carcass outside the

hotel restaurant...

and distribute the blood to

the hospital in the city

Why is that

The blood is used for surgery where

there aren't blood donor available

New guests arrived yesterday

Yes I saw them

I think I saw a woman with limp

It is just sprained ankle

She would be walking normally

again after a few days

That's a shame

It's a shame indeed

One night on the coach, he sat next

to woman who like butter biscuit

He gazed out of the window, not

looking at anything in particular

Just trying avoid talking to her

How is Bob?

He is fine

Give anything to go for a walk

with you and Bob one afternoon

The dogs are not allow

there's a rule, I'm afraid

"There are some excuses no one

can't argue with", he thought

Some excuses without a

doubt better than others

That was really good one

These biscuits are for Bob

I want you to give them to him whenever

you want to reward him for something

Tell him it is from me

Thank you

Can I come to your room sometime for a chat

I could give you a blow job

Or you could just f*** me

I always swallow after

fellatio and absolutely

have no problem with anal

sex if that's you thing

My ex-husband always used to said that

I have the most beautiful size he's

ever see, but let's not talk about him

My room number is 180, so my

telephone extension is 180

Hope catch some loners tonight

Haven't caught any the last few nights

Hope you catch lots too

Thank you very much

If I don't find a suitable partner soon

I'm gonna kill myself by throwing

myself out of one of room

Out the window

I want you to know that

My room is on the first floor

"I hope catch some loners today"...

she said

"And I hope you catch lots too"

She then told him that if she didn't...
