Room 104 (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - The Plot - full transcript
An estranged brother and sister reunite at the site of their future joint investment.
Well, you even started a fire.
Just like the good old days.
I didn't want to run down your battery.
Oh, her? Nah.
Solid as a rock.
Just like you.
What on earth are you doing with that?
Oh, this little peashooter?
Well, someday I'll tell ya
about what they call the, uh...
"Guadalajara Jukebox."
But this is mostly just for show.
I find that the... mere sight of it
usually tends to deter any trouble.
Hmm.
But how are you, dear?
Truly.
It's very strange,
to think that he's just not
in the world anymore.
It is. It's okay, Roma.
I'm here now.
Hmm. Now.
Look, I'm... I'm sorry
about the funeral.
No, I shouldn't have.
That was not fair of me.
- I understand.
- It's just from Budapest to here,
it couldn't be done.
And besides...
Father knew my heart.
You're right. Of course.
He always did want you out there...
living a giant life.
Well,
I don't know if
I quite accomplished that,
but there certainly is magic in travel.
You meet new and interesting people,
get a glimpse inside their lives...
their secrets, and then...
well, then you just move on.
It was was something akin to
living inside a kaleidoscope.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
That sounds very interesting.
Yeah.
So what, this'd be the, uh...
Well, we'll have a paved walk, here,
to the reception lobby,
with quarters in the back
for the night manager.
And our guests can load and
unload their luggage right here.
Incredible.
Just incredible.
So then that's a...
well, that'd be room 101,
102, and 103...
Yes, and so on and
so on around that way,
and on the east side,
we have room to expand
another block of rooms
if we want.
Well, you've thought of everything.
And I must say, when you said
we'd be having a picnic dinner,
I was not expecting
an actual picnic dinner.
I'm famished.
Well, I thought
one more night at the old spot
before they start digging.
It's fancier than the camp food
Father'd fix for us, but...
Remember what he used
to call them? "Hobo packs"? Right?
"Some loose chuck, and onions in foil."
"Throw 'em on the coals till
they crackle and boil," right?
"Add a pinch of pepper
or some mustard seed...
"... and that'll be all
you need to feed ya."
Well, I sure didn't think I'd ever
find myself in the hotel business.
The location is ideal,
once the interstate is done.
It'll be a landmark.
Our family's legacy.
I guess what I mean is, I never thought
I'd find myself at all, really,
but yes, no...
What you've done, it's remarkable.
Well, Bill Winthrop
has been very supportive.
He assisted with the permits and the...
- county zoning...
- Good ol' Bill.
Always there to take the wheel.
The title claims and so forth.
Mmm!
He said my business prospectus
was... one of the best-written
he'd ever seen.
Good ol' Bill. Where do I sign?
Mmm.
Just perfection.
Uh, your fingers.
Right, right.
Bill does good work.
Let's make it official.
And...
just like that...
it's all ours.
Who knows? This might
even be good for me,
settlin' down.
Heck, I might even get married.
One thing at a time, brother.
Now...
did, uh...
Well, did you ever find someone?
You know, someone special?
No.
No, I never did.
I'm not very...
Those things can be difficult.
- Romance, ya know.
- Oh I... Don't I know it.
Oh, you do, do you?
Well, I just mean that, well...
when one's traveling,
you tend to forge
a lot of relationships, and...
Traveling, yes, I'm sure.
But it can also be quite difficult
when one must stay at home
to wipe one's own father's bottom.
Do you know about that, as well?
Well, I...
I... I don't.
No.
And you never held him
while he wept like a baby
and called out to his own mother
whom he thought was
in the room with him.
Once he said to me... The pain, he said
that it felt like there was a rat king
living in his bowel.
Do you know what that is?
Of course I do.
That's horrible, I...
With the... little crown and...
It... must have been terrible,
and I'm so sorry, Roma.
Well, that's why I'm here, I suppose.
Solid as a rock.
I'm sorry. I don't know
what's wrong with me.
I'm not angry at you, not really.
I just miss him.
I do too.
It was supposed to be a special night.
Well, it is special. You've made is so.
Well, I'm sorry I got upset.
Listen.
You don't ever have to apologize to me.
From this moment forward, I'm here.
Partners. Fifty-fifty.
Well, then let's toast.
To Herbert J. Avalind
and the future success of his children.
Our success.
Yeah.
Well, it's bad luck if you
toast and don't drink it.
Well, this you might
not actually believe,
but, well, I've givin' it up.
- You?
- I know, I know, it's...
Well, it just got to be where...
I wasn't very gentlemanly when I drank.
And then it stopped being pleasant.
So I stopped.
And honestly, I've been
better for it ever since.
I don't suppose you have
any apple juice in there?
Apple juice is bad luck, too.
I...
Good for you, Remus.
You've done something
our father never could.
I'll just grab one of
these soda pops instead.
But I don't mind, you go ahead,
indulge yourself.
You've earned it.
It's... It's no fun when you're
the only one drinking, so...
Whoo.
Ya know, this actually...
This actually reminds me, I, uh,
saw a volcano up close once.
Kind of unimpressive, actually.
Will you show me how that works?
Well, ya see,
it all comes down to magma...
No, your pistol.
Oh, my...
Well, I didn't think you
cared for the shooting sports.
Well, I don't.
But I will be working the night desk.
At first, at least.
A woman alone out here?
I was thinking it might be wise
to invest in some personal protection.
I think it's an excellent idea.
Very mature.
I'm proud of ya.
Come here, follow me.
I'll show ya a little something.
Very important to have a firm grip.
Firm, but not too tight.
Think of it as an extension of your arm.
Get a handle on it.
You take dead aim....
Got ya, bastard.
Also: control.
Control is very important.
Yeah, feel the weight of it.
That's good.
Gotta maintain a sense of control,
and also have an objective.
Pick a target...
and, maybe most importantly,
take dead aim, and then...
Ohh.
I'd have just given
it to ya if you'd asked.
_
_
Uhh!
Oh, there she go.
Ah!
Ooh.
That's all she wrote.
Ah. Oh!
Is that chicken?
Yes.
Mm, mm, mm!
Yeah, I thought I smelled meat.
Are you alone... sir?
Yes.
Are y'all alone?
- Yes.
- Well, pardon me,
aren't I sittin' here?
Uh... Never mind.
Mmm.
Yeah, well, I'm just wanderin',
ya know, seein' where I land,
seein' who I land with.
I don't know how long.
Long time.
Eventually I saw your fire,
which was thankful timin',
'cause I didn't want to piss all
over my good shoes in the dark.
Boyfriend's takin' ZZZ's, huh?
Havin' a little nap?
He's my brother.
Oh.
Well, forest air's good for sleepin'.
Yeah.
What's all this mess?
Plantin' some beans up here?
We're gonna build a hotel.
Like a innkeep rentin'
rooms and so forth?
Man, I been wanderin' so long,
stayin' still sounds nice.
The guests they come, guests they go,
but here you are,
always on the other side of that.
Huh.
Mmm. That's delicious.
Well... I'll git.
But I thank you
for the leak and the bird.
Well, lookie, lookie, gimme a cookie.
Looks like I wasn't the only one
that needed to let something loose, huh?
Hoo!
Damn! Fine threads.
Made in Paree? My goodness!
Is your brother in pictures?
Oil?
Land?
He's not in anything.
No, he sure ain't!
Now you're mine.
'Course...
this ruins the duds, don't it?
'Cause that ain't ketchup, baby.
Ya know, that's gonna leave a stain.
I wonder... what you'd do...
Or give me...
to make sure no others came callin'.
To see your face!
What do we have here?
Now you're mine, too.
And I like you better!
Welcome, travelers.
How many nights will you be staying?
Welcome, travelers. How...
How many nights will you be staying?
Welcome...
Welcome, travelers.
And how many nights will
you be staying with us?
Just like the good old days.
I didn't want to run down your battery.
Oh, her? Nah.
