Alternate Character Interpretation: Does Poodle try to get the Banana Cabana away from Howie because she's evil and spoiled to the point she thinks she deserves everything while Howie deserves nothing? Or is it the fact she knows that Howie is too childish and irresponsible to run a hotel and that nothing good can come of him being manager, to the point where she thinks it is in everyone's best interest if she takes over and hires someone competent?
