Things Change Page #3

Synopsis: Gino, an Italian-American shoe-shiner with a remarkable similarity to a certain mafia don, is paid to take the rap for a murder. Jerry, a two-bit gangster on probation, is given a chance for redemption by guarding Gino for the weekend. But instead of sitting around a dingy hotel room, Jerry decides to give Gino a weekend to remember, taking him to Lake Tahoe. Jerry's bragging to his friends of his important charge, as well as Gino's dignified, quiet demeanor, soon result in much complication for them both.

that nobody know

Mr. Johnson is here.

I understand.

I'm your butler.

My name is Randy.

And I'll be at your disposal

24 hours a day.

See to the bedrooms, if you would.

And turn on the music, please.

Any help you need

with travel arrangements,

special dietary preparation,

cleaning, mending, shoe shine, shopping,

or any other aid you require,

don't hesitate to ring.

The manager has informed me

all the staff have been advised

that any wish expressed

by you or Mr. Johnson...

No, no, no. Nobody is to know

that Mr. Johnson is here.

Believe me, I understand.

Your privacy will be respected.

I'll be right-a back.

We're here for two days quiet.

A little low-profile relaxation.

I completely understand.

We at the Galaxy understand

and appreciate your position.

Believe me.

The Criterion floor,

in concept and execution,

exists only to cater

to your special needs.

The entertainment system

gives you access to a library

of over 1,000 films, records and tapes.

Secretarial or legal services.

I am a notary, should you require it.

Where are the bags?

Where are the bags?

We, lost our bags on a connection.

Our stores are yours.

Whatever you require,

go down or ring,

and they'll have it sent up.

That's kind of you, but...

Credit in the casino,

whatever you require

in financial services.

24-hour access to a ticker tape

of the major markets.

Allow me.

We are prohibited from offering

in-the-room-gaming,

but if you will notify me,

I can arrange a private area

in our members' room

on very short notice.

Tickets for the show, Jackie Shore,

tonight in the Constellation Room,

or tickets for any other show in town.

The sights and sounds of

Lake Tahoe. And here is my card.

I'm at that number or

they'll beep me there

at anytime, anytime at all.

Mr. Johnson, any questions

about the room?

No.

I believe we have anticipated

your tobacco requirements.

But if there's anything we've left out,

don't hesitate to let me know.

You have a fully-stocked kitchen.

If you or your chef

gives us requirements,

we will be pleased to shop for you.

I believe the other features

are self-explanatory.

We strive to provide the

ultimate in privacy and comfort.

If there is any area in which

we fall short, please inform us.

It is a pleasure and honor

having you as a guest

of the Galaxy and the Criterion floor.

My name is Randy.

Whatever I can do

to make your stay more enjoyable,

it will be my honor

and pleasure to serve you.

The concierge desk and our

kitchen are at your disposal.

Should you wish to shop,
