Jackie Becker: Hotel Desk Clerk

Quotes 

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  Getting information out of hotels requires a delicate touch. One whiff that you're snooping and you'll just hear a lot of, "We can't give out that information." You need to get them on your side, convince them that you're someone who needs customer service.

  Michael Westen : [to desk clerk]  Excuse me. I'm wondering if you could help me. A... friend of mine was staying at the hotel and, uh, we were supposed to hook up.

  Hotel Desk Clerk : Mr. Westen? We've been expecting you.

  [Hotel Desk Clerk, nametagged Janet, hands Michael a hotel envelope with his name written on it] 

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Of course, when the hotel clerk turns out to be expecting you, that makes things a little easier.

  Michael Westen : Left it... for me? You sure?

  Hotel Desk Clerk : Yes. He had the bellman drop it off. He said you would be 6'1", exquisitely dressed, with impeccable posture.

  [Michael opens the envelope, which was not sealed, and pulls out a hotel memo pad page with "Room 302" written on it] 

  Michael Westen : Huh.

  [Fade to third floor hallway, Michael approaching room 302] 

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  In the world of espionage, there are a lot of ways to introduce yourself: you can use official channels; you can use a cover I.D.; you can use encrypted communication. Whatever the method, that first contact tells you a lot about a person.

  [as Michael reaches the open door to Room 302, flames suddenly burst up throughout the room] 

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Especially when someone introduces himself by firebombing a hotel room.
