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.
