Transcript excerpt

Oh, if you haven't been, I mean, you have to get down here. Yes. We are under new management this summer. It's everything you saw before, but it's better. Come. I mean, that's what we're here for. Let's good. Come. Let's go. Come. Wow. It has to be perfect. Good at the view over here. It's gonna be fine. This is what it's really about, you know? No, we suffer the outrages of the outside world no that we can come here to truly let go. Someone's thirsty? That was actually me cheating, but you didn't notice. I think it's gonna be a good summer. If you need anything at all, and I mean anything, I am very passionate about hotel management. I take this very seriously, so Oh, you're reading. I'm sorry. French Riviera, isn't it? Just better serious. No. Don't you understand? How's the reading going? 42. Yeah. Expand your horizons. That's what I said. You need training, dude. Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. One time I lost a customer. Didn't pass away. He just didn't come back. Spiritually, he'll be with us forever. Thank you for your interest in booking the perfect summer getaway. No. You hang up. You hang up first.
