- Wait, take it easy.

- Who's this man you're checking in?

- Glenn Russell, famous playwright.

- Has he money?

- "Has he money?" he asks. Ha-ha.

What a question.

All right, by checking in here with you,

he becomes responsible for half the bill.

- Oh, no, no, you can't do that, Joe.

- Well, here I am, all washed up.

- Mr. Russell?

- Yes, sir.

- In behalf of the hotel, I welcome you.

- Thank you.

I trust that your stay with us

will be a pleasant one.

And I have the pleasure to inform you

that you owe me $600.

- What?

- Hey, Joe, come on outside.

- I'm not coming out.

- What kind of a place is this?

You move in,

and you owe $600 right away.

- Ho-ho. The guy's only

kidding. He's drunk. - I'm not.

You ought to be ashamed

going around in this condition.

- I ought to talk to the manager.

- I'm the manager and I'm not drunk.

Pardon me, Mr. Gribble.

Those 22 actors

are in the dining room again.

Gordon, they're eating again.

Joe, they've got to eat.

After all, they're human beings.

They're not human beings.

They're actors.

Isn't that wonderful? My brother-in-law,

he can't handle his stuff.

Have you had your dinner?

No, I can see you haven't.

Come out, we'll take care of that.

Hi, Fred, glad to see you.

Every motion picture

Has a moment on the screen

Exclusively devoted

To a bathing beauty scene

Wherein the banker's lovely daughter

Is submerged to here in water

With your permission

We will show exactly

What we mean

Hold it, one minute!

The lady must be in it!

Come in

Come in, the water is grand

Come in, come in and give me a hand

When you're in the bubbles

You haven't any troubles

You really can't deny it

Try it once and you will love it too

Come in

Come in, the water is sweet

Jump in

Jump in, it's really a treat

If you need relaxing, Jackson

Take this tip of mine

And come on, come on, come on in

The water is fine

Come out, come out, wherever you are

Look, who's here.

There goes the last of your week's salary.

- Like to meet her?

- I've met her.

You're a sap letting

that bunch eat you broke.

Oh, I don't mind.

They're pretty nice fellows.

One of them in particular.

So come out, come out

Come out, come out!

Thank you, thank you.

And now it's your turn.

We have a big Broadway producer

with us tonight, Mr. Gordon Miller.

So if you have any talent...

Come out, come out, wherever you are

- Wanna try it?

- Sure.

Who knows? Who knows?

I may be a star

Not bad.

I would like to teach you

Baby, if I could only reach you!

Uh-uh

You'll get to be a crooner, sooner

If you sing instead of cling

Spread out, spread out

Give your elbows a rub

Come on, how about you?

Allen Boretz

Allen Boretz (1900–1985), was an American songwriter, playwright and screenwriter.

His film credits include It Ain't Hay (1943), Step Lively (1944), Up in Arms (1944), The Princess and the Pirate (1944), Ziegfeld Follies (1946), Copacabana (1947), My Girl Tisa (1948), and Two Guys from Texas (1949). . Boretz' screenwriting ended abruptly when he was blacklisted in the early 1950s. However, Room Service has never stopped being produced by professional and amateur theatrical companies throughout the world, and has been revived on Broadway several times. more…
