You almost feel bad for Blake and Walker. They’re going through a whole developed routine, wooing Jany the same way they’d court a major new corporate client…and Jany’s like “sweet, this has basic cable and air conditioning!”
The huge paintings on the walls are public-domain artwork. Museums have made so many beautiful high-res scans available of their art collections — if you don’t look through them for resources, you’re missing out.
Blake: I know you must be jet-lagged, so we won’t do any experiments today. Instead, let’s get you all settled . . .
. . . at your hotel.
Jany: Wowwww.
Blake: It has all the classiest amenities. Impeccable service from the concierge and pages . . . three restaurants with world-class cuisine, customizable room temperature and lighting controls —
Jany: — and an actual bed! This is great! I haven’t slept in one of these all month!
And it’s big enough for you to be comfortable too.
Kara Lynn: I’m glad, Master.
Blake: Can I help you find dinner? Maybe order in room service?
Jany: Oh, gosh, no. Mum says never to waste money on room service, it’s a ripoff.
We’re in America — let’s get hamburgers!
Blake: Of course! I’ll have the concierge send up a menu.
Blake (thinking): I think I might have overdressed for this role.
Well, it’s kinda hard to guess in advance how much “wooing” is necessary, and it’s better to overdo it. And it’s not like they can’t afford it.
Of course it is also funny.
