(Hyperion Hotel: Present day Angel walks down hallway. Time shifts to 1952.)

BELLHOP: She just started cleaning the rooms on this floor when she found him.

MANAGER: Did she touch anything?

BELLHOP: Consuela? Does she ever?

(They enter Salesman's room.)

MANAGER: Oh my goodness. This is the third one in as many months. Why can't they ever do it in their own homes, for God's sakes?

BELLHOP: I should have seen it coming. The guy did seem pretty depressed.

MANAGER: Oh, really? How could you tell?

BELLHOP: Kind of cheap, though. The death-wishers usually tip better. Like they know they're not gonna take it with them anyway? (The Manager hears an indistinct whisper) See, if you look at the way this body is laid down, you can tell a lot about...

(The whispering becomes clearer as the Manager listens.)

DEMONIC VOICE: Three in three months. They'll shut you down.

MANAGER: Yes. They will.

BELLHOP: So, who do you want me to call first: carpet cleaner or the cops?

MANAGER: What?

BELLHOP: Who do you want me to call first: the carpet cleaners or the cops?

MANAGER: Don't be mad. No one's calling anyone. They'll shut us down.

BELLHOP: What about him?

MANAGER: What about him? He's dead.

BELLHOP: Well, we can't just leave him here.

MANAGER: Of course not. We'll, ah, we'll store him in the meat locker.

BELLHOP: Store him? (door closes behind Manager) We're gonna store him?
