Chinese elements

There is no need to repeat the scene of the film, but the director is a Chinese, so there are still many Chinese elements in the film. The little boy’s speech mentioned Nixon’s visit to China to make good relations with the United States; the portrait behind the exposing tenant was of a certain emperor of the Qing Dynasty; the female manager specifically stated that the Chinese delegation was coming during the morning meeting, and the TV was transferred to the central government. Taiwan; the girl who sews clothes is also a Chinese; at the last charity party, a black woman singer wore a cheongsam. The director is also very careful. But there is a loophole. At the charity party, Ralph wore a bow tie. At the bed scene in the hotel, Lopez ripped the tie from his collar.

Caroline: What do you think? Dolce coat, Gucci pants or Ralph Lauren skirt, Manolo pumps?
Rachel Hoffberg: Ooh, they're both divine! Let's see. How about the pants, open sandals, see-through blouse, colored-bra and I'd carry the Dolce coat for effect.
Caroline: Maria?
Rachel Hoffberg: She barely speaks English.
[Marisa mutters something in Spanish under her breath]
Rachel Hoffberg: What?
Marisa: Excuse me?
Caroline: Maria, what do you think?
Marisa: What about the beaded skirt with that beige crocheted halter you have hanging in the closet? You know, casual sexy. No stockings. Definitely eighty six the coat. It sends the wrong message. Looks like you're going someplace.
[looking at Rachel who is wearing a see-through blouse and colored-bra]
Marisa: Besides, that whole see-through blouse, colored-bra thing... reads a little, you know, desperate, older gal, trying too hard. Don't you think? Yeah, you want to make him work for it.
Rachel Hoffberg: Who does she think she is, to talk to me like that?
Caroline: Thank you, Maria. I have two words for you Rachel Hoffberh: Eric who?
Marisa: [accidentally deliberately whips Rachel with the bed spread] Excuse me. Sorry.

Caroline: [to Marisa] Oh, that needs pressing.
