GUEST, a pleasantly bland fellow in a casual business suit: Hi, is this the word play hotel?

HOST 1, sharply dressed in black and white with a pristine Irish accent: Yes, will you be staying with us tonight?

(HOST 2, sitting beside HOST 1 in an identical uniform, looks up inquiringly.)

GUEST: O-oh! You two seem nice, but I’d like my own room.

HOST 1: Pity. We have a twin available?

GUEST: Oh!

(On his left, his double appears beside him, dressed in the same uniform as the HOSTS and with a red bellhop hat on his head.)

GUEST: Eh, no. Double room, please. Sorry.

HOST 1: How long will you be staying with us?

GUEST: I’ve already told you I’m not interested. Could I have a private room, please?

HOST 1: Worth a shot. How many nights?

GUEST: Ehh…

(To his right, the camera pans to show a suit of medieval armor.)

GUEST, nodding decisively: One knight.

HOST 1: Now, sir, would you like a room with a view?

HOST 1, holding up two DVD cases in either hand: …or “Last of the Mohicans”?

GUEST: Last of the Mohicans.

HOST 1: Okay. (handing over the DVD, followed by a room key) You’re on the first floor,

GUEST: Great!

HOST 1: and your room is on the fourth floor.

GUEST: Perfect.

HOST 1: You can take the lift.

GUEST: Really?

HOST 1: We don’t need it anymore.

GUEST: Thank you.

HOST 1: The wi-fi code is lowercase…

GUEST: Mm-hm?

HOST 1: That’s it. (points to a strip of paper taped to the desk, which reads: “LOWERCASE.”)

HOST 1: Would you like a wake-up call?

GUEST: Yes, please.

HOST 1: You need to quit your job and go back to college.

ROBED MAN, approaching from behind GUEST in a white bathrobe and with wet hair: Sorry, I don’t have a hat for the pool?

HOST 1: Oh, you don’t need one!

HOST 1, pulling out a pool cue and set of billiard balls: But you do need these.

ROBED MAN: Thank you!

HOST 1, turning back to GUEST: Will you be having dinner with us this evening?

GUEST: Wow, you guys are persistent! Alright, I will.

HOST 1: Wonderful, do you have a reservation?

GUEST: Yes. I’ve never dated two guys before and I’m not sure if I’ll like it.

HOST 1: Oh, I’m afraid we’re full!

HOST 2: Big lunch.

GUEST: That’s disappointing.

HOST 1: We also offer a turn-down service in the evenings?

GUEST: I think I’ve had enough rejection for one day.
