A Chat with Brian Grant
Plot
Eddie is a New York limo driver and a fanatical follower of the New York Knicks professional basketball team. The team is struggling with a mediocre record when, in mid-season, "Wild Bill" Burgess, the new owner, as a public relations gimmick, stages an 'honorary coach' contest, which Eddie wins. The fans love it, so "Wild Bill" fires the coach and hires her. She takes the bunch of overpaid prima donnas that make up the team and turns them around. But the owner hopes to move the team, now the darling of the New York fans, to St. Louis. He may OWN the team, but it BELONGS to the city and the fans!

Plot
Robert's a beleaguered concierge of the luxury hotel owned by Mrs. Dubrow. She tells Robert an undercover reviewer is coming and to look sharp. If he does well he might get a promotion and some time off to take his sons, Brian and Kyle, on vacation. But then the villainous jewel-thief Rutledge checks in with his specially trained orangutan, Dunston. And when Dunston gets loose and tries to escape a life of crime with the help of Brian and Kyle, things go just a little lunatic.

He's about to turn a Five Star Hotel into a three ring circus.
La Farge: When I was in the sewer once, I saw a turtle that was so big it looked like a Volkswagen with a tail.
Mrs. Dubrow: I like psychotic people. They get things done.
Lord Rutledge: Where do you keep your champagne? Near the furnace?
Lord Rutledge: From the look of my soup I'd say someone in your kitchen has a serious hair loss problem.
Lionel Spalding: Monkey head. Monkey head.
Brian: Dad's gonna kill you when he finds that you lost his camcorder.::Kyle Grant: I didn't lose it. The gorilla did.::Brian: All right, the gorilla.::Kyle Grant: When we get back, you'll see.
Robert Grant: Kyle, I know you're upset about the vacation, but that is no excuse to throw a guest's dog into the garbage.::Kyle Grant: I didn't throw him in the garbage.::Robert Grant: Then, what happened? No, no, don't tell me, let me guess. You decided to give him a coffee-ground bath to improve his coat.::Kyle Grant: He jumped off the dog walk.::Robert Grant: The dog is suicidal? Is that what you're trying to tell me?::Kyle Grant: He smelled the monster on the ledge and jumped over.::Robert Grant: Oh, it makes perfect sense now. He smelled the monster on the ledge. It is the smelly ledge monster.
Mrs. Dubrow: Where did it come from?::La Farge: Well, when two orangutans fall in love...::Robert Grant: I think she means how did it get into the hotel.
Brian: Well, if your going to be grounded in a 5-star hotel it is the place to be.
Robert: [sees Dunston out the window; shouts] HOLY SHIT!::Mrs. Feldman: [to Mrs. Winthrop] He must really hate the Four Seasons.::Robert: No, no!
