The Million Dollar Hotel
# I have a lover,
# A lover like no other.
# She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul,
# And she teach me how to sing.
# Shows me colours
when there's none to see,
# Gives me hope when I can't believe
# That for the first time
# I feel love.
# I have a brother,
# Well, I'm a brother in need.
# I spend my whole time running,
# He spends his runnin' after me.
# I feel myself goin' down,
# I just call and he comes around,
# But for the first time
# I feel love.
# My father is a rich man,
# He wears a rich man's cloak,
# Gave me the keys to his kingdom comin',
# Gave me a cup of gold.
# He said, "I have many mansions
# "And there are many rooms to see."
# But I left by the back door
# And I threw away the key.
# And I threw away the key.
# Yeah, I threw away the key.
# Yeah, threw away the key.
# For the first time,
# For the first time,
# For the first time. #
Wow... After I jumped, it occurred to me:
life is perfect, life is the best.
It's full of magic and beauty...
opportunity and television.
And surprises. Lots of surprises, yeah.
And then there's that stuff
but they only really feel when it's gone.
All that just kind of hit me. I guess you don't
really see it all that clearly when you're...
you know... alive.
I guess you could say my life only
really started about two weeks ago.
That's when I lost my best friend Izzy...
and found Eloise.
Eloise... she was something to live for.
And I guess that means
something to die for.
Some people said that she was just
a dumb slut, but I knew she wasn't dumb.
Whatever Eloise was or wasn't
didn't matter to me.
She was the love of my life,
even though I hadn't actually met her...
...yet.
OK, Dan, wait, wait, wait... and surprise!
OK, this is one of the nicest spots
at the Million Dollar Hotel. We call it "The Lobby".
People come from all over the building
and sit and talk about the good old days...
...when they still had insurance.
And, of course, to enjoy the television.
- It's 10 a.m. Switch it.
- Yeah, Tom Tom, switch it.
I should tell you, at the time
I was a bit slow in the head...
...and that's why I did all
the dumb stuff for everybody.
Izzy called me "The Beggar's Butler"...
...and I liked the sound of that.
Dumb stuff is what I was doing
the day he arrived...
...all the way from Washington.
I had never seen anybody
from Washington before.
Wow!
I remember seeing his shoes first...
...and then his suit...
...which was like an evening gown
or something, only for a man.
You could see right away he was special,
even before he told you.
My name is Special Agent Detective J.D. Skinner
of the FBI.
Now, if any of you have any questions...
Don't touch me.
- You'll do. Take me to his room.
- Who... whom... who?
What are you, an owl?
The dead man, Israel Goldkiss.
Izzy.
- Is he what?
- Izzy... was he... ?
Izzy. Right.
- Geronimo.
- Whatever.
Yeah, let's go to Geronimo.
- Geronimo, hi ho, let's go.
- Hi ho!
What is he, an idiot?
I remember he picked up on that real fast.
Skinner, man, I don't think you're gonna solve
shit around here. This place is a freak show.
Excuse me, coming through!
Watch it, man!
I smell press.
Why don't you keep them at bay?
Sorry, sir, but my job was to chaperone you
and to make sure you observe LAPD protocol.
So, why don't you stay here and observe
protocol? You got a freight elevator here?
Tom Tom, why don't you take him up?
You know, a man's home is a man's castle.
- You know, a man's home...
- I heard you!
It's certainly a man's castle.
