Quotes 

• Curtis O'Keefe : I've got a couple of more calls to make. I won't be long. Will you be awake?

  Jeanne Rochefort : Of course.

  [Curtis kisses her ear, gets out of bed, pats her behind] 

• Curtis O'Keefe : Old style hospitality doesn't count any more. Oh, a few of the smaller houses might hand on to that, but, a big house like yours has to compete. And you can't compete, unless you think the way I do.

  Warren Trent : I'll continue to think for myself for awhile. There's still plenty of people who like to travel first class.

  Curtis O'Keefe : First class is dead, Warren. Finished! First class means traveling for the pleasure of traveling. The jet plane killed all that. The great luxury trains are gone. The big ships are designed for tourist class. The highways are jammed. There is no pleasure in the act of traveling any more.

• Curtis O'Keefe : I have a blue print for the future. A completely automated hotel. Your baggage will arrive by high-speed conveyor. Everything will be done by conveyor. Room service, laundry, valet, even the bill, will be presented by conveyor.

  Warren Trent : You're talking about a hotel for automatons with punch card brains and lubricants for blood. No, no. There'll still be people Curtis. And there'll still be innkeepers with pride in their houses and a personal interest in their guests. The Saint Gregory will still be here.

  Curtis O'Keefe : If it's still here, it won't be the same.

  Warren Trent : The same.
