We decided we would go

for global business.

Exactly. I'm with you. Sir. Great idea.

oday's business needs to attract

a wider customer base.

- Please. Sir. We can do this.

- gain with the talking.

ll right. This isn't the first time

a tryst in a hotel room didn't go well.

But just give us one more shot.

If we don't make a commercial

that tells the whole world

exactly who Hawksin Hotels really is.

Well. Then I'll...

We'll both quit the business forever.

Scout's honor. You have my word.

nd my passion.

- Passion.
