The Bellboy Page #2

Synopsis: Stanley is a bellboy at the Fountainbleau Hotel in Miami Beach. It is there that he performs his duties quietly and without a word to anyone. All that he displays are facial expressions and a comedic slapstick style. And anything that can go wrong - does go wrong when Stanley is involved. Then one day, Jerry Lewis, big star, arrives at the hotel and some of the staff notice the striking resemblance. Stanley continues to do what he was hired to do while star Lewis has more trouble with his entourage than the hotel accommodations.

- Yes, sir. Right this way.

Hold it. Hold it!

Hold it. Back. Hold it.

Hold it. Hold it!

Stop with the brushing.

We've been together a long time.

I've asked you many things

and you've come through for me.

Now I'm asking you to hold it.

Stop pushing, stop rushing, just hold it.

We're all adults and I'll expect you all

to conduct yourselves as an adult will.

Hold it. I've never asked you this

but I'm asking you now, simply, purely,

hold it!

I'm a nervous wreck.

Let me have a cigarette.

- Thank you. A light?

- Yes, sir.

All right. All right. All right!

Hold it.

Stop with the brushing.

Another cigarette, please.

I'll smoke it dry.

Mr Lewis, we're all excited about

your appearance at the Fontainebleau.

We should be used to celebrities by now.

We've had some of the big ones staying.

Wrong Way Corrigan.

Ma Perkins.

And don't forget Bill Holden's aunt.

Bill Holden's aunt. Yes.

I would like very much, if you don't mind,

to get to my room as soon as possible.

- Did you have a pleasant journey?

- Fine.

He's so funny.

This is the private entrance to the hotel.

Your suite is on the fifth floor and

totally secluded. I'm sure you'll like it.

That's wonderful.

- He's always good for a laugh.

- He sure is funny.

I would like the seclusion and privacy.

I had a terrible mishap a week ago

in the family. An aunt died and...

Nothing like a laugh!

He sure is funny!

- Would you care to register, Mr Lewis?

- I'd like to register and go to the room.

All right!

I need another card.

It's all right. You may register

in your suite. This way.

Thank you very much. I...

Back, back!

Back!

We're gonna go in the elevator and we're

gonna go single file like nice people.

- Remember, hold it. Leon?

- Yes, chief?

- Who are all these people?

- They all work for you.

Who's the guy with the straw hat?

He's the guy that tells you who we are.

That's good. I wouldn't have known.

I got such a bunch of people.

This is a very nice room.

Where's the bed? Oh, it's the elevator.

Wait, don't push.

That's it. Just file in.

Move to your left. That's it. Now let me

get in. Let me get into the side.

That's it. Get off.

You're stepping on my suede...

Will you stop with the brushing?

I'm awfully sorry, Ben. These people

are just so overanxious.

I appreciate it.

You've got to have your staff.

I've got a barber and a gardener

and people assisting me.

When I do the shows I try my best

to do what I can to perform

and I need the elements and

all of these people function for me...

Stop brushing.

- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- Yeah.

But there couldn't be two of them. Right?

Right. Hey, Stanley couldn't be

a Clark Kent, could he?
