- Chicken cordon bleu.

Tell him we haven't had

chicken here in 30 years.

- They want a salad with it.

- Listen to this guy.

Like people come here

for the food.

- Charlie brings his wife

down here all the time.

- Oh, yeah?.

- Maybe, but I bring my

girlfriend to the Sheraton.

huh, big man?.

I'd like a room, please.

We should be able

to accommodate you.

As for your stay, miss?.

Just for tonight, please.

It'll be just tonight.

if I told you.

Trust me,

I hear that.

to track down.

Tried your home line.

Where you at?.

- No, man,

I'm---I'm here.

You know, I'm home,

just kicking it in the tub.

- You better have

some company.

No, dude, I wish I did.

I'm actually just soaking

this f***ing knee.

Hauser kicked my ass again.

- You got to stop playing ball

with that guy, man.

Thinks he's playing

every game at Rucker Park.

- You don't need

to tell me that.

Speaking ofwhich,

we called your ass.

What, you can't

call people back?.

What's the matter

with you?.

- You know, I was waiting

for my anytime minutes, man.

You know, f***ing

nights and weekends.

- You and your

nights and weekends.

Hey, I tell you what, though.

You remember Anna?.

- Anna Anna?.

- Yeah, man.

I-I actually ran into her.

Right, um...

Sh*t, right down

the street someplace.

- Just walking

down the street.

- Yeah.

Dick.

So what about you, hmm?.

How was your day?.

- The day?.

You know...

it was a day.

- Hello?.

Terry, you there, man?.

Uh...

I'm sorry, man, sh*t.

Uh, I'm sorry,

I'm just---

Just a little drunk,

to be honest, man.

- No sh*t.

- No sh*t.

- Me too.

- Red?.

- Black.

- Black, huh?.

- Yep.

I think I f***ed up.

I think I'm---

I'm about to f*** up.

- You think so, huh?.

- Yeah, I think maybe so.

- Terry, come on, man.

What's going on?.

- It's---it's June.

She's...

She's cheating on me.

- Wait a minute, what?.

- June, she --- she's cheating.

- You'll be happy to know

this elevator is very reliable.

- As opposed to?.

- The Riverview

is fully inspected

and certified,

of course.

But we are in a...

transition period

currently.

This is our only

working lift.

- I'm quite happy

to take the stairs.

- This room is a personal

favorite of mine.

Everything in here

is original.

Preserved in time.

You'll be joining some

very distinguished company.

- I bet.

- Some of the first guests

at the Riverview

were the Ambassador

to Estonia

and the conductor

of the Chicago Philharmonic

and...

and, of course, uh...

numerous celebrities

and movie stars.

- Really?. Like who?.

- Oh.

Well, I'm not at liberty

to divulge their names.

- Oh.

- Um...

But rest assured,

the names would impress you.

- I'm sure.

Oh.

Thank you

for the history lesson.

- You're welcome.

- So here.

- Oh, it's---

- No.

Have a wonderful evening.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Hi.

- Come on, man,

you really think she's cheating?.

- I do.

- 'Cause, I mean, you know,

you've thought this before.

Yeah, I know I've

thought this before.

- You've called me.

- I know.

- And every time,

you end up just---

- Feeling like

an a**hole, yes.

I know.

It's different.

- Okay.

- She was supposed to be

away on business.

The airline,

they called the house.

She canceled her flight.

- Just 'cause she canceled

her flight doesn't mean---

- Then I gave the guy

at her car service a $20.

Told me

where she was going.

So I went to see

for myself.

- You followed her?.

- I did...

to the f***ing hotel.

- A hotel?.

- That's right.

- Sh*t.

Oh, sh*t, man.

So what are you

gonna do, huh?.

Are you gonna

confront her?.

- Yeah, you might say that.

- Terry, where are you?.

Come on, you're not---

are you---

Are you still at the hotel?.

- Still?.

No, not still.

Where were you?.

Why weren't you here?.

Hmm?.

- Terry, do you know

what you've done?.

- Yeah.

Look, look, I need you

to help me fix this.

- F***ing stay away

from me, Terry.

- What?.

- Just stay back.

- Jules, look,

I need your help here, man.

That's why you

came here, right?.

So we can do this together,

like you said.

- No, dude, I never said---
