Hey, toots, can you tell me where I can...

Shh!

Sounds beautiful, no?

Too beautiful for words, so I won't say anything.

We are just practicing.

Wait till you hear us at the festival.

Wait a minute. What, eh... What festival?

Our festival,

the tulip festival of little delph.

You know, I've been over the whole map of Michigan

with a magnifying glass, looking for this burg.

You are a tulip fancier.

Well, no, no, not exactly.

No, I'm a newspaperman... a reporter...

well, that is, sort of a reporter.

I take pictures and put a story around it.

You will love it here.

No tulips anywhere like ours in little delph.

Well, that's fine,

and I almost drove right through.

Say, why aren't there any signs around here?

Anybody can tell it's little delph.

How?

How?

By our tulips, of course.

They have, instead of 6 filaments, only 4.

Only 4...

I guess I counted wrong.

You come from new Amsterdam.

No. No, New York.

That is what they call it now,

but when we founded it,

we called it new Amsterdam.

A dutchman.

How did you know?

I counted your filaments.

Eh. Ha ha ha!

Good morning, Mr. Van Maaster.

Hello, Martin. How are you?

Excuse me, but can you tell me,

uh, is there a hotel in this town?

Yes, the house of seven tulips.

A very fine hotel.

Well, uh, do you suppose

I'll be able to get a room there?

Why don't you ask the proprietor?

Oh, you're the, uh...

yes, I am the house of the seven tulips.

Why isn't there any sign out in front here?

How does anyone know this is a hotel?

I am always out in front.

Oh, I see. They take one look at you,

and they know it's a hotel, huh?

No, but they ask me,

and if I want them to stay,

I tell them.

Ah. And if you don't want them to stay?

Ha ha ha! I just play dumb.

Ha ha ha! I see.

Well, you make yourself very clear.

No, no, my boy. Don't go away.

Stay right here. I like you.

We have a nice room for you,

one I think might work.

Victor, an arrival.

Welcome, sir.

I'm Victor, the manager.

From where I stand,

you look a little more like Victoria.

What can I do for you, sir?

Quite a lot, I should think.

Uh, look, what time are you through work here tonight?

Any requests like that

you'd better take up with father.

The old dutchman is your...

oh.

Well, for the time being,

I guess I'll just settle for a room.

Looking on the lake or the square?

It doesn't make any difference.

I'm only staying here a couple of days.

That's what they all say.

Miss Robbins over there came for the weekend.

She's been here 15 years.

15 years?

George, a room on the second floor

for this gentleman.

How do you do, sir?

Oh, you're, uh... George, huh?

Yes, sir. May I have your name, please?

Yes, uh, Henry Taggart,

or should I make it henrietta?

Room 23, sir.

Don't you serve any keys with your rooms?

Oh, you won't need one.

Our guests don't lock their doors.

Peter?

Take this gentleman to 23.

Right away.

How do you do, sir?

Peter, huh?

Yes, sir.

You know, where I come from,

they have a very strange custom, Peter.

All the girls have girls' names, Peter.

Yes, sir.

This thing ever get stuck between floors?

Oh, no, sir, don't let that bother you.

Doesn't bother me a bit.

Room 23 is the second door to the left.

Your luggage will be right up, sir.

Oh, wait a minute.

I forgot something.

I forgot to ask the price of my room.

You can discuss that when you leave.

If you don't mind, I'd rather do that now.

I don't want any arguments later on.

There are never any arguments in our hotel.

Hello, Mr. Randall. Lovely day.

Yes. I'm so glad, and how are you?

Fine, thank you, Mr. Randall.

Oh, I'm so glad. So glad.

Uh, good-bye.

Good-bye, Mr. Randall.

I take it that was Mr. Randall.

Yes. He's in room 28... musician from Vienna.

We were speaking of arguments.

Take him, for instance.

He hasn't paid his bill in over a year,

but no one ever mentions it.

Now I know why he's so glad.

Oh, I... I beg your pardon,

but can you please tell me,

how do you get room service around here?

I've got a piano in there

and a flock of birds,

but no, uh, no phone, not even a bell.

Oh, there are no phones or bells in this hotel.

Isn't it enchanting?

Enchanting.

No worries, no cares,

free from everything,

like a leaf in the wind.

Good-bye.

You put things so beautifully, darling.

I could listen to you for hours.

Uh...

Look, are those people all right?

Why, yes, sir. They're the nugents.

They're on their honeymoon.

Oh. Ha ha ha!

Then of course it's enchanting.

Oh, you're the, uh, bellboy, eh?

Yes, sir. My name's Cornelius.

Do you always deliver the mail

to the room in person?

Why, certainly, sir.

Well, I'll send myself a letter right away.

I beg your pardon?

Uh, get me a waiter, will you, please?

Very well, sir.

Male or female?

I beg your pardon?

I thought so.

All right, come in.

I'm Albert, the waiter.

I'm minnie, the moocher.

Get me some lunch.

What shall it be, sir?

Black coffee.

And?

And hurry.

Well, what about your lunch?

What about my coffee?

Well, coffee's no lunch.

Coffee contains no calories,

no nourishment...

that's right, and I want a large cup of it.

But, sir!

At this hour, your system needs substantial food.

Albert, let's not go into my system, please.

All I want is just a simple cup of coffee.

Father says people never think about their health...

no breakfast, no lunch, just a light dinner,

and what happens eventually?

They get the jitters.

You know, just listening to you
