A kiva is a room used by modern Puebloans for religious rituals, many of them associated with the kachina belief system. Among the modern Hopi and most other Pueblo peoples, kivas are square-walled and underground, and are used for spiritual ceremonies.
Similar subterranean rooms are found among ruins in the American southwest, indicating ritual or cultural use by the ancient peoples of the region including the Ancient Pueblo Peoples, the Mogollon and the Hohokam. Those used by the ancient Pueblos of the Pueblo I Era and following, designated by the Pecos Classification system developed by archaeologists, were usually round, and generally believed to have been used for religious and other communal purposes.
When designating an ancient room as a kiva, archaeologists make assumptions about the room's original functions and how those functions may be similar to or differ from kivas used in modern practice. The kachina belief system appears to have emerged in the Southwest at approximately AD 1250, while kiva like structures occurred much earlier. This suggests that the room's older functions may have been changed or adapted to suit the new religious practice.

Plot
This movie features the collaborative directorial efforts of four new filmmakers, each of whom directs a segment of this comedy. It's New Year's Eve at the Mon Signor Hotel, a former grand old Hollywood hotel, now fallen upon hard times. Often using physical comedy and sight gags, this movie chronicles the slapstick misadventures of Ted, the Bellhop. He's on his first night on the job, when he's asked to help out a coven of witches in the Honeymoon Suite. Things only get worse when he delivers ice to the wrong room and ends up in a domestic argument at a really bad time. Next, he foolishly agrees to watch a gangster's kids for him while he's away. Finally, he finishes off the night refereeing a ghastly wager.

Twelve outrageous guests. Four scandalous requests. And one lone bellhop, in his first day on the job, who's in for the wildest New year's Eve of his life.
Ted the Bellhop: Your dad says he doesn't trust babysitters. Well, can't say I blame him. I had a babysitter myself once...
Sigfried: [to person on phone] There's no needles here kid, just a big fucking gun!
[after Eva is given one hour to find sperm instead of the one she swallowed out of passion]::Eva: You're my last chance.::Ted the Bellhop: W- Whoa. Uh-uh. No way. Nope. Besides... it's against hotel policy. I was warned. "No sex with the clientele."::Eva: [bewitches Ted with her eyes] Oh. [now topless, puts her arms around dizzy Ted before the screen fades out]
Eva: [talking to her fellow witches after bewitching Ted to let her have her way with him] We did it right there in the big cauldron.
Margaret: Hi, Ted. I'm Margaret. You sound down. Is your New Year's not starting off well?::Ted the Bellhop: No, Margaret. This New Year's Eve is not starting off well! This one is going pretty fucking badly!::Margaret: How come?::Ted the Bellhop: Well, Betty leaves me to run this entire hotel by myself. And first thing, right off the bat, I get fucked by a coven of witches!::Margaret: You got fucked by an oven full of witches?::Ted the Bellhop: A *coven* of *witches*! Well, one witch in particular!::Margaret: Ted, was she an old hag with a mole on her face with hair growing out of it? [takes a hit from her bong]::Ted the Bellhop: No, no, no, she was very beautiful.::Margaret: [coughs] Ted... what's the problem?::Ted the Bellhop: Well... admittedly, that was the best part of the evening. It was pretty bloody good, actually... but it's still a pretty unnerving way to start off the night!::Margaret: Sounds like a pretty great way to start off the night to me.::Ted the Bellhop: Why don't we just skip over the witches?::Margaret: Skipping the witches...
Ted the Bellhop: Problem? I haven't got a problem. I've got fucking problems. Plural.
[how his first day is going]::Ted the Bellhop: Well, most recently, there's room 309, there's this scary Mexican gangster dude poking his finger in my chest. There's his hooligan kids snapping their fingers at me. There's a putrid, rotting corpse of a dead whore stuck in the springs of the bed. There's rooms blazing afire. There's a big fat needle from God knows where, stuck in my leg, infecting me with God knows what. And finally there's me, walking out the door, right fucking now. Buenas noches.
Ted the Bellhop: I'm in a situation I can't begin to explain
Angela: Unfortunately, you don't have the balls to back up the actions of your huge cock.
Eva: Goddess Diana, fail you I will. / I was to bring you fresh sperm from my Bill. / I had him erect and his semen would follow. / Alas, I was hot. So hot that I swallowed.
