Eloise at the Plaza Page #3

---

[Ding]

Eighth floor, please.

Randall will be meeting

us tomorrow at 6:00.

- About Randall...

- Such a lovely boy.

He only talks about himself.

He's never interested

in what I have to say.

Finally. Lobby, please.

ELOISE:
Six, please!

Darling, Randall went to Yale.

He's from a good family.

Thank your lucky stars he's

available to be your escort.

Escort to what?

[Ding] Oops! That's me!

[Ding]

[Ding]

[Ding]

[Ding]

...conversation with

Randall's father, and--

Escort to what?

Little girl,

what do you think you're doing?

Exercising!

I could show you my routine.

[Ding]

ELOISE:
Here's what

Mr. Salomone likes--

being on time.

Here's what I like--

making him late.

[Ding]

- Morning, Nanny.

- Hello, Walter.

Good morning, Nanny.

May I have a word with you?

Of course, Mr. Salomone.

I see you're taking Weenie

for a walk.

Nanny, what with the ball

and the other circumstances...

tomorrow will be quite hectic,

and I was wondering...

If I could keep a certain

six-year-old out of your way?

Yes.

Well, I will try,

but you know Eloise.

[Tap tap] Excuse me.

It will be my pleasure.

Is it remotely possible to get

some attention, Mr. Salami?

It's "Salomone." Mr. Salomone.

You had his attention the moment

you entered the Plaza.

[Door buzzer]

[Buzzing repeatedly]

You rang?

ELOISE:
In the afternoon.

I return back to our suite.

Unfortunately. that means...

- Philip.

- Eloise.

ELOISE:
Philip is my tutor.

He goes to Princeton.

My mother knows the dean.

He wears red garters

and is boring. boring. boring!

When we have

our French lesson...

he reads about

la petite cousine de Marie...

and her jardin.

Sometimes I listen.

But not very often.

Here's what makes Philip angry.

He says...

Alors. nous commencerons.

ELOISE:
Then I say...

Alor, new commenceron.

ELOISE:
Then he says...

Shall we settle down?

"Shall we settle down?"

That's quite enough, Eloise.

"That's quite enough, Eloise."

I'm in no mood

for childishness!

"I'm in no mood

for childishness!"

- I mean it, Eloise!

- "I mean it, Eloise!"

- Stop it at once!

- "Stop it at once!"

- Very well!

- Very well!

- Nanny!

- Nanny!

[Arf arf]

Oh, no, no, no, Eloise.

She's impossible, Nanny.

[Door buzzer]

Oh, she's not as bad

as all that.

Thank you, William.

Now, why don't we

just calm down?

I don't drink.

NANNY:
Eloise?

I don't want a tutor, Nanny.

Oh, and how attractive

that will be...

going through life uneducated.

Besides,

Philip's having a bad time.

He broke up with his girlfriend.

But that was three years ago.

It's a terrible thing

to have your heart broken.

ELOISE:

Here's what I like to do--

Fix what's broken.
