Clerk:Right this way, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. Well, it's small, but clean.
Richard:Clean? You call this clean?
Clerk:Have a nice stay.
Richard:Thank you. I don't believe this.
Well, it isn't the Watermill Inn, but let's get a look at3 the view4.
Marilyn:How is the view?
Richard:Great, if you enjoy looking at a parking lot.6
Marilyn:Well, maybe we'll see the view in the morning. Right now, we should clean up this room.
Richard:Sorry, Marilyn.
Marilyn:Why should you be sorry?
Richard:Well, the rain, the room, the view of the parking lot. It isn't the way I hoped it would be.8
Marilyn:Stop blaming yourself9. After all, we're here, we're alone, we're together. And I love you. Isn't that enough?
Richard:It is for me,10 but I wanted this weekend to be special for you.
Marilyn:It is special. Happy anniversary. [She kisses him.]
The next morning. Richard is still upset about the weather and the room at the Old Country Inn.
Richard:It's still raining. I want to play11 tennis.
Marilyn:I want some breakfast. Let's call room service12and order nice breakfast, and then we'll figure out what to do today.
Richard:Right. [He goes to the telephone.] Would you give me room service, please?13 I beg your pardon?14 Oh, I see. [He hangs up.] They don't have room service at Old Country Inn.
Marilyn:Well, let's go down to the coffee shop.
Richard:They don't have a coffee shop. We can get our meals at Mrs. Montefiore's down the road.
Marilyn:That's OK, honey. I love walking15 in the rain.
Richard:Oh, you're being16 a really good sport17 about this, Marilyn, but I think we should face the truth18.
Marilyn:What's that?
Richard:This is not the way to spend our fifth anniversary.
Marilyn:Well, what do you want to do?
Richard:Why don't we get in the car and drive home?
Marilyn:Oh, Richard, it really isn't that bad.
Richard:[He hugs her.] Do you want to stick it out19 for the whole weekend?
Marilyn:Well, I'll admit20 the room is uncomfortable.
Richard:Uh-hum.
Marilyn:And I do feel bad about your mother having to take care of the baby all weekend.
Richard:Why don't we just ckeck out21?
Marilyn:OK.
[The telephone rings.]
Marilyn:Hello? Yes, Yes, this is she. Oh, hello! How nice of you to remember us! Yes, my husband did call. You do? Really? It won't be any trouble?Oh, yes, I think we'd like that very much. Fifteen minutes! Thank you. Good bye. [She hangs up, turns to Richard, and smiles.] You will never guess. 22
Richard:Uh… I give up23.
Marilyn:Mrs. Montefiore from the Watermill Inn.
Richard:What is she calling about?
Marilyn:They have an opening24. Someone just checked out, and Mrs. Montefiore has re served the honeymoon suite25 for us.
Richard:You're kidding!
Marilyn:No. Isn't it wonderful?
Richard:It's fantastic! Oh, now all it has to do is stop raining26. Let's go.
