Serve, serve, serve was the underlying theme."Just like the butlers of old, all the way down, serve, but not be seen, serve and do not question, look sharp but don’t look that close or you’ll soon be looking at your walking papers."A rule that was perhaps not included in the manual but was something house staff had clearly learnt from their time working for Hefner was that they were forbidden to speak to any of his 'girlfriends'.

Don’t be caught having intimate conversations with any of them."Just do what they ask of you and make yourself scarce and don’t forget – there’s always somebody watching."The head butler also instructed Tetenbaum on how to keep Hefner happy.
