Can't. I'm working the ball.

Ah, Bill! Quelle tragique!

[French accent]

What a waste of time!

MR. SALOMONE:

People! People. please!

We're already

running behind schedule.

Now, the prince arrives...

tomorrow.

I want you

to study this picture.

I want you to commit it

to memory.

His Highness should not

want for anything...

during his stay with us.

You should anticipate

his needs before he asks.

Now, as you may recall

from last year's visit...

we had one week to get ready.

Now we have less than 24 hours.

We'll never be ready in time.

I'll have to pull my people

from the ball preparations.

Unacceptable.

Unacceptable. The ball,

every guest at the hotel...

they'll all be treated

like royalty.

There'll be no compromising

on our service...

but as far as the prince

is concerned...

I want magic

in the form of flowers...

utter perfection

in every morsel he eats...

and this room

completely transformed...

by 2:
00 tomorrow afternoon.

Oh, and, uh...

Under no circumstances...

should you repeat

a word of this to...

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Oh. Hello, Mr. Nye.

My mother's lawyer.

You want to meet?

How about tomorrow? Say 3:00.

- How about today?

- I couldn't possibly today.

- I'm rather busy.

- Doing what?

Doing what? Just everything!

NANNY:
Eloise?

Being bored is not allowed.

Here's what I do.

ELOISE:
Put a rubber band

on the end of my nose...

stand on my toes for

the longest amount of time...

get dizzy and fall down...

run down the halls...

and skitter two sticks

along the walls...

making a really loud

and terrible racket.

One day, your face

will freeze like that.

Oh, no.

My face is an absolute Popsicle.

Ohh!

What a disgusting little girl!

[Sighs]

[Elevator dings]

Lobby, please, Max.

Time for my morning rounds.

ELOISE:

Getting Max to notice me...

is rather

a favorite hobby of mine.

I'm thinking of

dying my hair hot pink.

ELOISE:
If staring contests

had prize money...

Max would be a very rich man.

There you are, folks.

Thanks for your patience.

Any messages, Miss Thompson?

Let me check.

The owner of the Yankees called.

He wants you to throw out...

the first pitch

at tomorrow's game.

Tell him I'm sorry,

but I have to repaint...

the Sistine Chapel next week...

and I can't risk an injury

to my wrist.

[Ding ding ding]

Good morning, Mr. Salomone!

Good morning, Eloise.

Has my invitation to

the debutante ball arrived yet?

No, no.

And I don't expect it will.

I expect the ball

will be awfully fun.

Please don't

cause any trouble, Eloise.

Moi?

When do I ever do that?

Complaints about Eloise?

Oh!

ELOISE:

After my morning rounds...

I always make sure to exercise.
