(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(DOG BARKING)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm still here.
You remember those 300 chairs I rented from you
for the governors' conference?
Yeah, they got here all right.
No, everything's fine. Just what I wanted.
Next Thursday.
So send over those two gorillas of yours.
You know, the ones that parked the truck
on the back porch and then broke for lunch.
Benson, when are you going to
get these chairs out of my kitchen?
Relax, Kraus. Somebody made a mistake.
Ja. When they hired you.
(FEIGNED LAUGHTER)
Hi, Benson. Hi, Katie.
Is my lunch almost ready, Miss Kraus?
Almost, Liebling. What is it?
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
What's that?
Yesterday's meatloaf.
Well, we're gonna have to get another hotel.
The Marquis Plaza fouled up my reservations again.
My God, they aren't even in the same party!
Mmm, kinky!
Guess what, everybody? I have great news!
They cancelled the conference.
They did?
They didn't tell me. And I'm the chairman!
They didn't cancel the conference, Governor.
What's the news?
Oh, well, I wanna tell Katie first.
Honey, you better sit down, it's pretty exciting!
Is there a chair handy?
Katie, my father is coming to visit.
Oh, boy! That's great!
They are pals.
See, my father is Katie's grandfather.
How unusual.
Well, that's just terrific, sir.
I'm sure we're all very anxious to meet him.
Yeah, I know I am.
Meet him at the door when he comes in.
I mean, he's my father. So naturally I've met him.
Just not recently.
(STAMMERING) See, what I meant...
We got it. We got it.
What is your father like, Governor?
Oh, you'll love him.
Everybody loves old Gibson Gatling.
He'll charm the pants right off you.
I beg your pardon?
I... I didn't mean that literally.
See, what... what I meant was that he...
We... We get it.
Get your grubby mitts off that punch bowl!
Miss Kraus, it doesn't belong here.
What doesn't belong here is you.
It makes it easier for the guests.
Yeah, and it also makes it easier for the guests
to drop their little wieners into the punch.
I'm putting it back.
No, you're not!
Touch it und die!
If I go, I'm taking you with me.
Benson, I am warning you.
Do not touch that punch bowl.
Mmm! Looks pretty good.
Are you finished?
Not yet.
Benson, I need a favor.
It seems there's been some slip-up
with Governor Joseph's hotel reservation.
Can't help you, Taylor. That's Marcy's department.
Well, I don't want to bother her about this.
It seems the hotel didn't have a room
I see. Someone he recruited in the lobby.
You think we can help them?
Sure. Let her stay in your apartment.
You think she would?
I've had it.
There aren't any other rooms available
and Governor Sutton isn't happy with his.
He doesn't like the view.
Tell him not to look out the window.
He hasn't got a window.
Daddy, is Grandpa here?
Yes, honey, he is.
But sweetheart, your grandpa's in a wheelchair.
Now, there's nothing to worry about.
(KRAUS SCREAMS)
Oh, Miss Kraus, I see you've met my father.
Ja, rather suddenly.
Anybody ever tell you what a gorgeous woman you are?
Well, Dad, what do you think, huh?
I can't believe it.
My son, the governor!
I'm glad I moved out of the state.
Everybody, this is my father, Gibson Gatling.
Pleasure to meet you, sir. BENSON: How are you, sir?
Forget it!
Where's my granddaughter?
Here, Grandpa.
Come here, honey.
Give your old granddaddy a big hug!
Here's a little something I brought for you.
Thank you.
(CLEARING THROAT) Oh, uh, Dad,
this is Taylor, my aide.
You got soft hands, boy.
Probably never did an honest day's work.
