Mr. Mandala, the hotel's small-minded manager, views the discovery of the Martians with indifference (except for the windfall profits the hotel has made.) After the last of the reporters has left, he remarks to one of his black bellhops - whom he habitually treats with petty condescension - that the Martians mean nothing, to which the bellhops gnomically replies that they mean a great deal to him.
Mr. Mandala, the hotel's petty-minded manager, shows no interest in the discovery of the Martians (except for the profit the hotel has gained.) Once all the reporters have left, he tells one of his black bellhops - who is usually treated with condescension - that the Martians are unimportant, to which the bellhop responds cryptically that they matter a great deal.
