At the hotel.
The boys arrive in an expensive hotel complementary of the new restaurant, as they want their reviewer’s stay to be as pleasant as possible. As they step inside three eager bus boys run towards them to take their luggage and to make sure they get a tip, they compliment the men and attempt to make small talk.
Busboy 1: Ah, bonjour Missouri, your first time in Paris, oui?
Ben: Um…oui…yes I…yes it is. [Ben stares at the busboy as if he is an alien.]
Busboy 2: We are happy; you come to stay here in the Paris. I take your bags for you, sir?
Busboy 3: No no no no. Missouri I shall take your bags, oui? I shall take you also to the front desk for la check in, oui?
Busboy 1: No! Renoir! I see these men first, no? So I shall get their euros!
Busboy 3: No! I shall get the Americans! I am younger! You? You, Claude, will fool up!
Busboy 1: Fool up?! I will no fool up! You will do the fooling!
Busboy 3: I am younger! I will not do the fooling! I am stronger, more masculine! If I ever fool I fooling the feminine! You will do fooling more then Jean! He is better then you.
Busboy 1: Jean? Do not mention him; he will not get them in!
Busboy 3: No no no no no no! You fool! [Raises his voice and begins to talk in French.]
Busboy 1: Oui! Oui! You are the fool! [Babbles something in French]
Busboy 2: Why for you to get them? I point them to you!
Busboy 1: Jean you shall stay away from this business! You are the biggest fool! [At this, Jean has had enough and takes a swing at Claude, who ducks and is missed causing Jean to clash his hand against Renoir’s cheek, who in turn tries to lash out at Jean but crashes against Claude who has stood up straight and they both fall on top of Renoir and are tumbling and rolling around swearing and cursing each other in French. Alex, David and Ben watch in amazement at their French welcome ceremony and slowly make their own way to the front desk.]
