During the elevator ride down to stage level, Elvis invited her back to his hotel so he could "get to know her better after the shows." When they got out of the elevator, Col. Parker pointed out where a car would pick her up. He said "After the show he wants you to go with him".

After the young newshounds left, Elvis and Dolores moved to a more secluted area, and started to kiss again. Then Elvis walked across the room and looked out the window and waved to the kids waiting below for the next show. The girls stated to scream. When he opened the window and stuck his head out, "they screamed like crazy", she said.
