[upbeat music] Best thing about John Wick was the hotel.
Eugene· Panelist0:06
Yeah, that was pretty badass.
Trevor Noah· Host0:07
It's so- ...
Eugene· Panelist0:08
The hotel was such a great concept.
John Oliver· Guest0:09
[laughing] Like, I love- the martial arts is great.
Trevor Noah· Host0:10
Yeah.
John Oliver· Guest0:10
I think part of that is people's just longing for a hotel w- that well-run.
Trevor Noah· Host0:15
You got- [laughing] It's so...
John Oliver· Guest0:17
I like the fighting, but I love the service.
Eugene· Panelist0:19
[laughing] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
John Oliver· Guest0:20
You can turn up nearly dead, "Sir, we'll take care of that."
Eugene· Panelist0:22
With a dog.
John Oliver· Guest0:23
And we take pets.
Eugene· Panelist0:23
With a dog. Yeah.
John Oliver· Guest0:24
It- for me, it's a hotel movie with some fighting in it.
Eugene· Panelist0:27
Wait, didn't they say they don't take... Wasn't there something they don't do that they did for him? Maybe the dog. I feel like there was something that they don't- They don't- it is no- it's a no pets building? No pets.
Trevor Noah· Host0:37
Well, there's something- No, no, no, but they did it for him. Yes, but I swear they don't accept pets.
John Oliver· Guest0:40
But it was an, it was a no pets enterprise.
Trevor Noah· Host0:43
I, I, I hope I'm not wrong about this.
John Oliver· Guest0:44
It has s- international assassins, [laughing] like, no pets.
Trevor Noah· Host0:48
I swear there was something- Don't try and bring a cat in here ... where they said, "Mr. Wick-" Murder! "They said, Mr. Wick, we don't allow da, da, da." And then they s- then they, like, made an exception for him.
Eugene· Panelist0:56
No, that was he wanted to kill somebody on premises.
Trevor Noah· Host1:00
Oh, maybe it's that.
Eugene· Panelist1:02
Yeah, that was- That's more likely than pets.
John Oliver· Guest1:03
That's more likely than pets.
Eugene· Panelist1:04
Yeah.
Trevor Noah· Host1:04
It's more likely [laughing] it's more likely- That's more likely ... you're not allowed to kill someone. You're right.
Eugene· Panelist1:06
But I remember him coming in with his dog, and they were like, they greeted the dog as if it was a customer.
Trevor Noah· Host1:10
Ah!
John Oliver· Guest1:11
Because it is.
Eugene· Panelist1:11
Yeah.
Trevor Noah· Host1:12
They were like, "Oh, John and-" Fluffy. "Fluffy."
Eugene· Panelist1:15
I love, I love the fact that you watched John Wick- Fluff McGraw ... and your biggest takeaway was, "What a hotel."
John Oliver· Guest1:20
I, I love the fact that you thought it was plausible they didn't take pets- [laughing] ... and that that was the line.
Trevor Noah· Host1:24
I still think it might be there.
John Oliver· Guest1:24
You come in with a blood-dripping samurai sword- [laughing] [laughing] ... and a dog cage, and they're like, "Just
