Blame It on the Bellboy Page #2

Who sent you?

- Mr. Marshall.

- Marshall?

Who is Marshall?

Executive director, Accounts.

Marshall, Hall & Thompson.

This Marshall sh*t.

Why's he want me dead?

Dead? I don't think he does.

I'm sure he doesn't.

- He's just...

- Just what?

House-buying.

[screams]

You know, it's funny.

The agency put me in a hotel.

Yes, I know. It is okay, isn't it?

Yes, it's great,

but I'd rather be somewhere like this.

Well, let's hope you will be, Mr. Horton.

Please, call me Maurice.

All right... Maurice.

[plane engine]

Shall we go upstairs?

This way.

Yeah...

One...

Two...

What is going on?

So...

- Do you like what you see?

- Very much so.

I suppose we ought to get down

to the... nitty-gritty.

- Good Lord.

- I'm sorry?

Well, I mean... don't you think it's early

in the day for that talk?

We've only just met. I mean...

I don't want you to think

I am an old fuddy-duddy.

It's just...

I suppose young people

do things differently.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rush you,

but it is why we're here.

Isn't it?

Yes, yes. Absolutely.

Absolutely.

[creaking]

Yes, it's just that I thought

we could perhaps...

[creaking]

Go and have a meal, or something.

First.

Pave the way, break the ice. A drink.

Look, there's obviously been

a terrible mistake.

And I can't afford a mistake.

He said this was my last chance.

- Who said?

- Mr. Marshall.

"Here's an air ticket," he says.

"Check out the villa and buy it.

"Mess this up and you're out."

Your bloody Mr. Marshall, he no exist.

He does!

He's the director of accounts.

Then you can telephone him, no?

Well, yes, but he's very busy.

He doesn't like me ringing...

[Orton yells]

One, two, three.

A spot of gardening?

Can I join you?

I must say, a bit backward

in coming forward. Patricia Fulford.

"Of Huddersfield.

Interests, Mickey Spillane and eating.

"Seeks similar fun lover."

Are you all right?

Are you shy?

Terribly, terribly shy.

I've seen you following me,

trying to pluck up courage.

Here I am, I'm all yours.

It didn't say you were shy

in your file. Or musical.

Hunting and shooting, it said.

Look.

Would it make things easier for you

if we just had a stroll?

Most clients would never bother

with this.

- Clients.

- It's straight in there.

That's the way

they want to do things nowadays.

Some of them want to do it

on the phone. It's unbelievable.

That's the modern world for you.

You sound as though you're not new

to this... game.

No, been at it for years.

- Oh, isn't it beautiful?

- Let's go in here.

- This'll do.

- Yes.

What for?

What line of work are you in?

I'm a bank manager.

- Are you married?

- No, absolutely not.

- Didn't you see my file?
