(At the Hotel)
(Miss Pearl has just arrived at the hotel).
Shirley Pearl
Good morning.
My name's Shirley Pearl.
I believe you have a room for me.
Receptionist
Could you spell your name, please?
Shirley Pearl
P-E-A-R-L, S-H-I-R-L-E-Y P-E-A-R-L.
Receptionist
Just a minute, Miss Pearl.
Yes, that's right. We can offer you a single room from today for 12 days.
Shirley Pearl
Is there a shower?
Receptionist
There's a private bathroom, a TV set and a fridge.
Shirley Pearl
How much is it?
Receptionist
90 dollars a night.
Shirley Pearl
Oh, it's a reasonable price.
Receptionist
Could you fill in this form, please?
Will you sign here, please?
Here's your key.
Shirley Pearl
What time's breakfast, by the way?
Receptionist
Any time between 7 and 10 downstairs in the restaurant.
There are coffee-stalls and snack bars on every floor of the hotel.
Shirley Pearl
Can I have breakfast in my room?
Receptionist
No problem.
You can order it by phone.
Lunch is from 11 till 1.30, tea at about 5, and dinner at 6 or 7.
Shirley Pearl
Where can I buy stamps and envelopes?
Receptionist
The news-stand is right in front of you.
Shirley Pearl
Ah, that's fine, thanks.
(The film producer comes into the hall.)
Wesley West
Ah, there you are at last! Good morning.
Shirley Pearl
Good morning.
Glad to see you.
Wesley West
How are you?
Shirley Pearl
I'm quite well, thanks.
A bit tired after the flight.
And how are things with you?
Wesley West
Fine as usual, thank you.
Shirley Pearl
Glad to hear it.
How do you like it here?
Wesley West
Well, it's very interesting.
Shirley Pearl
What about the group?
Wesley West
All of them are pleasant people, very sociable.
What's your room number?
Shirley Pearl
Er... 1532.
Wesley West
What luck!
We are neighbours!
My room's on the same floor.
I'll take you there.
Shirley Pearl
What time is it?
Wesley West
It's a quarter to 10.
Shirley Pearl
Ah, my watch is three hours slow then.
Wesley West
No wonder.
London is two hours behind Moscow.
(The film producer and the actress are at the door of a room.
The door is open.
They go in.)
Shirley Pearl
Listen! There's somebody in the room.
A man is singing.
Wesley West
You're right.
He's in the bathroom.
(They hear a song:
"What can I do without you? What must I do to start my life anew?")
Wesley West
(Knocking.)
Who's there?
What are you doing?
Voice (angrily)
Don't disturb me, please. I'm taking a bath.
(The man comes out in a dressing gown).
What do you want?
Who are you?
Wesley West
I'm afraid, there's a mistake.
This room is ours.
Man
Yours?
Are you sure?
This is room 1523.
Wesley West
(Looking at the number of the key)
Oh, awfully sorry.
It's my fault.
I've made a mistake.
Do forgive me.
Man
These things happen.
(Some minutes later in room 1532.)
Wesley West
Can you come down about three quarters of an hour?
Shirley Pearl
Have pity!
Can you give me an hour and a half?
I need time for a shower and a cup of coffee.
Wesley West
All right then.
In an hour and a half.
I'll be waiting for you downstairs.
Don't be late.
The bus leaves at 12 sharp.
Shirley Pearl
Oh, I'm never late, am I?
Wesley West
See you in the lobby of the hotel.
(At 10 minutes to 12.)
Nora North
The weather's nasty today, isn't it?
Steve McQueen
Yes, rather, isn't it?
Russell Brundon
What's up?
You look so upset.
Bernard Berg
The trouble is I can't stay in my room.
Russell Brundon
What's wrong with it?
Bernard Berg
Nothing's wrong with the room itself.
The room is large enough.
It faces the yard, so it isn't noisy.
Nora North
Is it comfortable?
Bernard Berg
It's light, clean, comfortable and even sunny.
I like it very much. But I don't like the man who is next door to me.
Russell Brundon
Why! What has he done?
Bernard Berg
He hasn't done anything wrong I suppose.
Нe's a musician.
He plays his violin day and night.
Nora North
How annoying!
Wesley West
He's preparing for the Tchaikovsky Competition, isn't he?
Bernard Berg
Probably.
I couldn't sleep last night.
I need a room to work and sleep in, not to listen to music.
Are there any vacant rooms in the hotel?
Nora North
I'm afraid not, none at all ...
Bernard Berg
What shall I do?
Tony Dakota
Don't worry.
I can help you.
Do you smoke?
Bernard Berg
No, I don't.
Tony Dakota
So much the better.
I have a double room.
We can share it.
Russell Brundon
As far as I understand, you need privacy for your work, don't you?
Tony Dakota
I'm out all day long.
You can have the room all to yourself.
Bernard Berg
You're so considerate!
Thank you very much.
Tony Dakota
That's all right!
Don't mention it.
(At the reception desk)
Tony Dakota
Excuse me, can you spare me a minute?
Girl
Certainly.
Tony Dakota
What facilities are there in the hotel?
Girl
There's a hairdresser's, a currency exchange, a post-office, a dry-cleaner's, a shoe repair shop and a laundry.
All of them are on the ground floor.
Tony Dakota
Thank you. By the way, what are you doing tonight?
Girl
Pardon?
What did you say?
Tony Dakota
I mean why don't we go out together?
Girl
I'm sorry, I'm busy.
Tony Dakota
What about tomorrow?
Girl
I'm busy today.
I was busy yesterday.
I'll be busy tomorrow.
Besides, I don't go out with strangers.
Tony Dakota
But everybody knows me here!
Yet I must apologize.
I meant quite well.
Voices of the Congress participants
Come on, Tony! We're waiting!
Win Lynn
You're not wasting time, are you?
Tony Dakota
I can't afford to waste time.
Steve McQueen
Ah, look at that!
It's raining.
Russell Brundon
You never know where you are with the weather!
Win Lynn
Where are our umbrellas?
