74. FRONT OF THE HOTEL. (Fade in.) Roland is sitting at a table in the f.g. having his breakfast. Conwell and Enrico come to the hotel doorway and look out. They finally spot Roland. Conwell then gives instructions to Enrico as to what to do. He then goes out toward Roland while Enrico backs into the hotel doorway and waits. Conwell goes over to Roland, slaps him on the back, greets him heartily. Roland rises, rather embarrassed, Conwell shakes his hand cordially and sits beside him. Enrico in the doorway watches with a sinister smile. Conwell asks Roland what he is doing down in Bunkonia. Roland says:
SP: "I'VE COME DOWN TO SELL INSURANCE."
Conwell is interested in this and Roland tells him in a few words what he wants to do. Conwell is quite interested and says:
SP: "PERHAPS I CAN GIVE YOU A BOOST. I KNOW ALL THE BIG GUNS DOWN HERE."
Roland is mildly interested but not overly enthusiastic as he knows something of Conwell's boasting proclivities. However he thanks him. Conwell offers Roland a cigarette and while Roland is taking it, Conwell quickly signals to Enrico. Enrico sees the signal and walks down to the front of the hotel. Conwell looks up sharply, pretending he has just seen Enrico, points him out to Roland, who looks also, and Conwell then speaks, saying:
SP: "THAT'S ENRICO DE CASTANET, SECRETARY OF WAR, AND A GREAT PAL OF KING CARAMBA."
Roland is quite impressed. Conwell says he will bring him over and gets up and goes over toward Enrico. Enrico turns, sees him, greets him very enthusiastically, saying, "Ah, my friend," shakes his hand and raises his hat at the same time Conwell is doing it. Conwell then asks him if he won't come over and meet his friend, at the same time giving Enrico the wink. Enrico says he will be pleased and they both go over to Roland's table. Conwell introduces Enrico to Roland. Enrico again raises his hat. They all sit, Roland orders drinks and Conwell briefly tells Enrico about Roland's business. Enrico says he is interested in any friend of Conwell's and after a few words of explanation from Roland, Enrico says to Conwell:
SP: "THERE'S A MEETING OF THE COUNCIL TO-NIGHT. WHY NOT BRING YOUR FRIEND? I'LL HAVE HIM MEET THE KING."
Roland is quite overcome by all this kindness, and Conwell says: "That is exactly the thing to do." Conwell takes his drink, holds it up and says:
SP: HERE'S HOPING YOU INSURE THE LIVES OF THE KING AND ALL HIS COUNCIL."
