-I'll take him at Christmas, okay?

-Tell somebody who believes you.

I gotta go.

That sh*t.

This fell out of your bag. Is it yours?

Yeah, thanks.

Management, huh?

Que fancy.

What?

I'm not saying a word.

Can you not say a word

somewhere else?

And our next speaker

will be Ty Ventura.

Richard Milhous Nixon...

:::was a man

of many contradictions.

Even though

he is remembered in history...

...as the only president

to ever resign...

...his foreign policies

and his relations with China...

...opened up the Western door

to Eastern--

I mean, Eastern door

to Western ties.

That's enough.

Born a Quaker,

he was nevertheless....

He was responsible for bombing...

...for the violent bombing of....

Richard Nixon was born in....

Hey, baby.

They were all laughing at me,

and then l lost my words.

You know, it happens

sometimes, honey.

I never want to do that again, okay?

You're going to do better next time.

No.

All right, we'll talk about it later...

...because l got something for you.

The new Nixon tapes.

Come on, you know

you wanna open it.

Mom.

Oh, pap.

I'm sorry.

Where's Dad?

He had a construction job

in Poughkeepsie.

It was paying time and a half,

and he had to do it, baby.

It's okay.

So you'll hang out with me

at the hotel this weekend, okay?

A married guy was buying

clothes for his girlfriend.

I know. He gave me

his number yesterday.

-What's up, Frannie, Michelle?

-Good morning.

-Hey, Ty, how are you?

-What's up, Ty?

Lily?

We're here.

Hey, are you going to keep me

company today, Ty?

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Now, he's got books and puzzles

and all kinds of fun stuff. Right, baby?

-I'm on 22 if you need me, okay?

-Okay.

So l'll see you at lunchtime.

You all right?

I'm cool.

You know, l am really sorry

about all this.

It's not your fault.

-See you later. Thank you.

-Sure.

What's with the face?

He's a kid. He has

a whole hotel to play with.

-We come here every day.

-He'll have a ball.

You said it.

-You need to loosen up.

-I'm not interested.

-Why are you stealing my tissues?

-I need them.

While you're there, get me soap,

shower caps, some Kiehl's.

We need some fun in our lives.

Be spontaneous, kick up our skirts.

-The expression is " heels."

-Maybe for you.

-I'm with you, girl.

-You only live once.

-You know. Come on.

-No.

Live it, girl.

I'm living.

I'm living.

Come on, help me clean the

Park Suite. You're not doing nothing.

Oh, sorry. Aren't you

the maid l had yesterday?

-Yes, ma'am.

-Oh, fantastic. I need another favor.

I'm late for lunch,

otherwise l'd do it.

Would you run down to the boutique

and return the outfits in the closet?

-Sure, l'll take care of it.
