Added DiffLines:
* BilingualBonus: When the assassin disguises herself as a hotel maid and pushes a cart across a hallway, we clearly hear someone say "Enrique, dame otro," Spanish for "Enrique, give me another one."
Added DiffLines:
* EthnicMenialLabor: It seems some of the hotel staff are Mexicans who mostly speak Spanish: the employee who asks Enrique for one more of something or other apparently felt the need to specify who was being addressed as other Spanish speakers might think they're being addressed. As for the unfortunate maid who sees the assassin's equipment, she's black.
