For what?

For the entire weekend,
it's actually quite reasonable.

511
00:18:29,142 --> 00:18:31,244
It includes a hotel,
dinner on Friday,

00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:32,278
bottle service.

513

514

for bottle service.

515

$800 just lying around,

516

517
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:40,653
I would not be spending it
that way.

to my SurveyMonkey links,

519
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:45,859

this issue.

522
00:18:50,196 --> 00:18:52,699

-So, Whitney, about that slit.
-Really?

527
00:19:02,575 --> 00:19:04,444
