Mr. Stringer : I'm sorry, madam, but I cannot permit mice in my hotel.
Helga : How dare you say that when your rotten hotel is full of rats anyway?
Mr. Stringer : Rats? There are no rats in this hotel!
Helga : I saw one this morning running along the corridor, into the kitchens.
Mr. Stringer : Madam, you only arrived in the hotel this afternoon.
Helga : [scoffs] Morning, afternoon, I saw a rat in your hotel, and if matters do not improve, I shall have to report you to the public health authorities.
Mr. Stringer : Look, madam, I'm not prepared...
Luke : The cakes in the lounge are nibbled around the edges, too. I can show you.
Helga : If you are not careful, the health people will order the whole hotel closed before everyone gets typhoid fever.
Mr. Stringer : You can't be serious, madam!
Helga : I have never been more serious in my life. Now - will you or will you not let my grandchild keep his hygienic and perfectly harmless pet mice?
