  Billy Griffin : Why not tell the Knights we need the rooms?

  Peter McDermott : Everything's been paid for in advance.

  Billy Griffin : Too bad the check didn't bounce.

  Peter McDermott : We're a private hotel. We could throw them out if we want.

  Victoria Cabot : I'd like nothing better, but there's also the First Amendment to be considered, and even if it doesn't apply to my hotel, the spirit of the Constitution applies to me. We have a contract with these people. Now, until the Knights break the law, they are our guests and must be treated accordingly.

  Billy Griffin : And I'll have to protect them, right?

  Victoria Cabot : Look, I know how difficult this must be for you, Billy, but what choice do we have?
