Keep planes, trains, and automobiles out of your fucking mouth!
Day is coaching for his job.
Lanning knows he just has to keep it close and that his schedule is easy enough to where the game doesn't matter for him.
Remember when USC was good? My teenagers don’t.
One of my parents’ best friends is a Japanese lady who encountered the exact same scenario when going some places in both the United States and abroad in the mid-nineties (which is when the aforementioned mentioned scene is set). So sadly an accurate scenario.
Hell, white women didn’t exactly have it any easier if they rolled into a posh hotel and didn’t look the part back then either - as my humble Midwestern relatives can attest. My aunt got the “Pretty Woman” treatment (minus the prostitution part…I think 😁) in Beverly Hills too.
Like @huskyhooligan says, please consider giving the movie another chance. It’s one of the better rom-coms I’ve seen in awhile.
BTW, I don’t know if the buying of the hotel in retaliation has happened in real life, but I do know similar stuff has happened - actress Mae West purchased the Ravenswood Apartments in Los Angeles, California after the management refused to allow her to have her bodyguard, a black man, enter the premises. She was so pissed she bought the whole building.
