can only be what it is. An old school.

I went to school there.

I know it inside and out.

Do you realize how cheaply

one can buy it?

Do you realize how much

it would cost to fix it up?

Why a hotel? You're always saying

this is such a crummy town,

who'd wanna stay here?

Maybe not want to,

but have to.

The parents of those kids at our

school, they come to visit, right?

There's no place for them

to stay.

If there was a hotel here

people would stay here.

- Oh, hi, Howard.

- Oh, it's you, Win Berry.

What're you doing here?

Just between you and me, Howard,

we're gonna buy this place

amd turn it into a hotel.

Can't you just imagine it?

A family run hotel.

We'll have the place to ourselves

most of the time.

Our hotel.

The hotel New Hampshire.

Hey, come here.

If only Dad had found

another bear,

he wouldn't have needed

to buy a hotel.

Franny was right.

Just as father thought bears could

survive living with humans,

he thought we could survive

living in hotels.

Hey, these are all screwed down.

You can't move them around.

Why should anyone have to move

hotel furniture around?

You gonna leave the blackboards?

So long as they are clean,

what's the harm?

This job's gonna be harder than...

trying to rape a rhinoceros.

This is Miss Rhonda Ray, who's

going to be head maid and waitress.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm pleased to meet you.

Miss Ray remembers seeing State

of Maine perform with Pop

when he was touring

all those years ago.

But I never believed it was

a real bear.

They were trying to undress him.

And nobody would get a kick

out of undressing a bear.

Okay.

- No meat.

- No meat?

They probably don't even know

what a steak is.

- Do you like Rhonda, John?

- He's going to.

Like you and Chipper Dove?

Lilly, try to eat something

and then you'll grow.

What's that?

- Who isn't growing?

- It's me.

- I've stopped growing.

- We come from Finland.

- And we never had a dwarf there.

- What are you saying?

Yes.

- A dwarf!

- Bullshit!

She's no dwarf!

She's a baby.

Isn't it great having kids?

Why don't you all put your chairs to

my table and have some drinks on me?

Mine is stuck.

Everything's screwed down around

here. You know what I'm saying?

I mean this is the ship we're on.

We're on a big cruise

around the world.

Around and around the big wheel goes

and where she stops nobody knows.

- Everybody ride the rides.

- Fill the glass.

- Come on, Pop. Let's get some air.

- Of course your chairs are nailed down.

That way when the sh*t hits the fan

at the Hotel New Hampshire...

- What are you doing later, sweetie?

- Come on, Pop.

Nobody gets blown away,

there you are, girls.

- Let's get some air.
