Episode 14: The Hotel Inspector
Scene 1 - The Finance Department
Sathya: I've arranged a hotel critic to come and review our hotel tomorrow
Prabha: That's nice, who is coming over?
Sathya: Mrs Smith
Prabha: She is quite famous for, how do I put this? Putting down every hotel she reviews.
Sathya: I know
Prabha: Then why did you get there?
Sathya: I know it will be challenging to surprise and impress her but imagine what happens if we do just enough for her to write a good review about us.
Prabha: That will be the first time something like that will ever happen
Sathya: Exactly, the first time for something is always the most memorable time.
Prabha: So how are you going to prepare for this?
Sathya: I have plans (smiles)
Prabha leaves
Prabha returns several minutes later
Prabha: You said she's coming tomorrow
Sathya: Yeah, she is coming tomorrow
Prabha: No, she's downstairs right now
Sathya: What? Really, oh my god, come with me
Sathya and Prabha rush downstairs
The critic is standing opposite the reception desk interrogating the worried receptionist
Sathya approaches the critic
Sathya: Welcome
The Critic: Pathetic reception, neither the speed nor the quality is of an approved standard
Sathya looks tense
Prabha goes behind the desk
The Critic: Necesito un poco de ayuda (Spanish: I require some assistance)
Prabha: Cmo puedo ser de servicio a usted? (Spanish: How may I be of service to you?)
The Critic: Was ist das beste Zimmer, knnen Sie mir anbieten? (German: What's the best room you can offer me?)
Prabha: Wir haben ein Luxus-Penthouse (German: We have a luxury penthouse)
The Critic: Emmenez-moi l (French: Take me there)
Prabha: Oui (French: Yes)
The critic makes her way down the corridor
Sathya and Prabha follow
Sathya: Quite impressive
Prabha: Experience, I have to deal with foreign customers
Sathya: I did not get a word of that (smiles)
The Critic: I expect you to be leading me and not the other way round
Sathya and Prabha rush to the front of the Critic
They turn around and find the critic missing
Scene 2 - The Finance Department
Prabha: Where is she?
Sathya: She just wandered off
Prabha: Why are we taking her to the penthouse? We haven't even prepared it
Sathya: Ah it's good enough, besides we didn't have time to take it to that extra height.
Prabha: We could have had plenty of spare time if only you didn't waste it by cleaning up the part of the hotel no-one even accidentally steps on.
Sathya: Hey, a place can only be as good as its worst part. We are now miles better.
Prabha: Still not enough though
Sathya: She's a sly fox. She tricked me and caught us before we are ready. No wonder she is very negative.
Prabha: And now we lost her, what a day
Sathya: There she is
The Critic: Impressive, shall we proceed?
Prabha: Woah, how did she get herself inside a room that has a locked door with the no unauthorised entry' label.
Sathya: I can tell you that was no accident. She's very keen and noticeable, seems to hunt for something bad.
After a full tour around the hotel
Sathya: So, any opinions on the hotel?
The Critic: I have plenty to share in my review which you will read tomorrow morning
Sathya rushes back to her desk
Sathya: I'm exhausted
Prakash: Want some of this?
Prakash hands over a bowl of casseri
Sathya: I love casseri
Sathya takes a big spoonful
Sathya: The best one I ever had, where did you buy this?
Prakash: Not buy I got it from my home
Sathya: Really? You know an awesome cook
Prakash: I know myself
Sathya: What does that mean?
Prakash: It means I cooked it
Sathya: Wow, you sure know how to cook. I think I should leave some for the maker.
Sathya hands the bowl back to Prakash
Prakash: You can have more
Sathya: No, you'll eat
Prakash takes a spoonful...
Prakash: I want you to have more
... and feeds it to Sathya
Tomorrow Morning
Prabha rushes to Sathya and Prakash
Prabha: Her review is out and surprisingly she has handed out five stars
Sathya reads through the news
Sathya: This is so much better than I expected. She recommends everyone reading this to spend at the very least a single night in our hotel.
Prakash: Meaning that our hotel's predicted profit will face a drastic increase
Sathya: Excellent news
