Don Music, Johnny Fiama, & I enter the MC Dorms building. Don and I are loaded with luggage.
Don Music: At last! Someplace where my brilliant music will be appreciated . . . (turning to me) and you’re sure they have filtered water?
Randall: I don’t know, Don. If not, I’ll buy you your own personal filter.
Don: (beaming) That would be splendid!
Johnny taps me on the shoulder as we reach the desk.
Johnny: (whispering) Who is that guy?
Randall: That’s Don Music, Johnny.
Johnny: Yeah, but who is Don Music?
Don: Only the world's most famous and beloved composer and lyrist! You must be some kind of singer to have never heard of me.
Johnny: (sighing) I miss Ma already
Randall: (trying to avoid a confrontation on our first day) Johnny, isn’t Sal coming?
Johnny: Yeah, yeah, yeah.. you know how that crazy monkey is. He’s just a little behind.
The door to the MC Dorms building swings open to show Sal Manilla arriving, Johnny Fiama’s luggage piled in his arms high above his head. He tries to see where he’s going by looking to the side but still has some trouble.
Randall: (running to help Sal) Johnny, don’t you do anything for yourself?
Don Music: That poor, poor monkey!
Johnny: No, no.. then what would Sal do?
Sal: That’s right Johnny, my best pal in the whole wide world.
Johnny: (shaking his head) What’d you do this time, Sal.
Sal: Well, ya see, Johnny, I kinda, sorta missed the first step out there. But I think I found everything.
(Don Music starts playing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on the ring-for-service bell on the front desk)
Johnny: My suits! My poor, poor suits! Sal, they can’t take the wrinkles!
Randall: Calm down, Johnny
Sal: I know, Johnny. You want I should iron them?
Johnny: Yeah, yeah.. as soon as we get to the room… Oh, the humanity! Can we get the key to room . . . what room are we in again?
Don Music: 30.. because they didn’t have a room 88... 88 keys on a piano, you know.
Johnny: Ok.. Room 30.. Please! It’s an Armani emergency!!
Randall: Don’t be so rude, Johnny.. it’s your own fault, anyway. Just relax.. we’ll be in our room in a bit.
