Thank you, Henry.

Have a good day.

Thank you, Mr. Casey.

You know, I stood at that door

from the first day

the Ambassador opened

back in 1921,

and I greeted everyone:

FDR, Truman, Eisenhower,

Jack Kennedy, Johnson,

Premier Khrushchev,

the Shah of Iran,

King of Sweden, all of them.

Madame Chiang Kai-Shek... she

rented the entire fifth floor.

I personally delivered the

Oriental furniture to her suite.

It was antiques, mostly.

Oh, yes, and one night, I, uh,

I caught Will Rogers

having a pee.

He was taking a piss

in the greenhouse.

He tried to convince me

it was good for the plants.

He said, "Good

for the shrubbery, boy. "

I said, "Don't do it again,

sir. "

And I also danced at the Grove

when I was off duty

with, uh, Barbara Stanwyck,

believe it or not,

and Dolores del Rio

and Rita Hayworth.

I was quite a dancer.

She was a beautiful

woman, mind you.

And I heard Bing Crosby

sing at the Grove, too.

Yeah, and Sinatra, too,

of course, and Rudy Vallee.

Sophie Tucker, Ruby Keeler.

Yeah, and Cab Calloway, I think.

Yes, sir. All good

things in this hotel.

Yeah.

Can I see the sports section?

D People say

I'm the life of the party d

d 'Cause I tell

a joke or two... d

Her b*obs.

I read about it somewhere.

Anne Bancroft is not

gonna show her breasts

in a film.

She's a good-looking lady, Coop.

I'm not saying she's not

a good-looking lady.

Oh, like you wouldn't,

if you had the chance?

Anne Bancroft has too much class

to show her breasts in a film.

That's it.

That's the facts.

It's not just a film, Coop.

It's The Graduate.

Mm, I love that movie.

- More coffee?

- Yes, please.

Okay, so I have

a question for you.

What do you think,

Bancroft or body double?

- The nude scenes?

- Mm-hmm.

Flashes.

They're not even scenes.

Body double.

For sure.

Wait. You know this for a fact?

Well, no,

but it's what I would do.

That is,

if I ever actually got hired

- for a movie I auditioned for.

- You will. You will.

Plus, you're

my favorite ingenue.

And you got a great smile,

and you're nice to us,

and you know

how to pour coffee so well.

You know what?

He actually thinks

he knows what he's doing

with that thing.

I do know what I'm doing

with this thing.

- No, you don't.

- You look like a movie star.

Really? Who put it on 13 frames?

- There you go.

- Well, say a prayer for me,

'cause tomorrow

I'm interviewing for Schwab's.

Oh, wow, good for you.

Schwabs, is that a director

or producer or something?

No, moron, Schwab's on Sunset.

Lana Turner

was discovered there.

Oh, Schwab's.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, every

out-of-work actress

in Hollywood is trying

to get a gig there

waiting the lunch counter.
