Hello

Hello

I decided to go for a walk

ouside with my new friend

Let me introduce you

This is Robert, he stay in the

room next to mine had a lisp

Please to meet you, I stay in the room 101

I'm on the same floor, 186

Would you like to join us?

Why not

One of these days gonna be

me on one of those yachts

Why those yachts?

The final ordeal before letting you go

The hardest one

15 days of vacation just a couple

alone, didn't you read the leaflet?

I did

Did you see John's leg?

No

John, could you show your leg?

Oh yeah

Room 187, day 2

Hello everyone

My mother was left on her own when my

father fell in love with a woman...

who was better at math than she was

She has postgraduate degree, I think

While my mother only a graduate

I was 19 at the time

My mother entered the hotel but didn't

make it and was turning into a wolf

I really miss her

I found out she's been moved to a zoo

I often went there to see her

I give her raw meat

I knew the wolf like raw meat

But I couldn't figure out which

of the wolves was my mother

So I used to give a little

bit to each of them

One day I decided to enter the enclosure

I really missed her and I wanted a hug

I climbed the fence and jumped in

All the wolves charged

at once and attacked me

All but two stood motionless

I guess one of those two must be my mother

The zoo guard got to me quite

quickly and took me to the hospital

Thankfully I didn't lose my leg

I just had this limp

Which also is my defining characteristic

My wife died six days ago

She was very beautiful

and I love her very much

She had limp too

Thank you John, you can return to you seat

Let's move on to our next

guest, room 104, day 2

Hello everyone

This is only my second day here

But already I feel like a

member of wonderful group

My defining characteristic is

that I have very beautiful smile

Something's gotten hold of my heart

Keeping my soul and my senses apart

Something's gotten into my life

Have you ever dance with anybody?

Sorry?

Have you ever dance with anybody?

Yes

What sort of dancing you should do?

Just depends on the music

Do you need to sit down?

No, no, I'm getting ready to dance

Can I sit here?

I'm sorry

Can I sit here?

Of course

Let me introduce you to my best friend

That woman you were talking

to have no feeling whatsoever

She feels nothing at all

She's the best hunter in hotel

Silent and very fast

She's the women record holder

192 captors

Changing the grey, changing the blue

Scarlet for me...

it's scarlet for you

if this is the real thing

Would you like to dance?

Every day yeah

You touch me and my mind goes astray yeah

And baby, and Baby

And baby, and Baby
