Neil Kellerman

Sometimes in this world, you see things you don't wanna see.

[looks over at Johnny and Penny dancing]

Who are they?

Neil Kellerman

Oh, them. They're the dance people. They're here to keep the guests happy. They shouldn't show off with each other. That's not gonna sell lessons.

Neil Kellerman

Where's Penny? Everyone's been asking for her.

What do you mean, where's Penny? She's taking a break, she needs a break.

Neil Kellerman

As long as it's not an all-night break. [to Baby] Come on, doll. Let's take a walk.

Neil Kellerman

I love your watch your hair blowing in the breeze.

Maybe my parents are looking for me.

Neil Kellerman

Baby, don't worry. If they think you're with me, they'll be the happiest parents at Kellerman's. I have to say it. I'm known as the catch of the county.

I'm sure you are.

Neil Kellerman

Only last week, I took a girl away from Jamie, the lifeguard. And he said to her, right in front of me, "What does he have that I don't have?" And she said, "Two hotels."

Look at all this leftover food. Are there still starving children in Europe?

Try Southeast Asia, Ma.

Robbie, Baby wants to send her leftover pot roast to Southeast Asia, so anything you don't finish, you wrap up. Max, our Baby's going to change the world.

[to Lisa]

And what are you going to do, missy?

Oh, Lisa's gonna decorate it.

I think she already does.

Doc, I want you to meet somebody, my grandson, Neil. Goes to the Cornell School of Hotel Management.

Baby's starting Mount Holyoke in the fall.

Neil Kellerman

Oh, great.

Neil Kellerman

Johnny, my grandfather put me in charge of the final show. I want talk to you about the last dance. I'd like to shape things up a bit. You know move with the times.

Yeah, I've got a lot of ideas. I've been working with the staff kids on this between the Cuban rhythm and soul dancing.

Neil Kellerman

Whoa, boy. You're just way over your head here. Now, I thought you always do the mambo, huh? Why not dance this year's final dance... to the pachenga?

Right.

Neil Kellerman

Well, you're free to do the same, tired number as last year if you want, but next year, we'll find another dance person who'll only be too happy--

Sure, Neil, no problem. We'll end the season with the pachenga. Great idea.

Neil Kellerman
[to Baby]

Sometimes he's hard to talk to, but the ladies seem to like him. See that he gives you the full half-hour you're paying him for, kid.
