A Hologram for the King Page #2

---

Life and leisure park.

Very impressive.

I have to go.

Here, in case

you sleep in again.

Full steam ahead!

We'll see you at 3:00.

Over there in the main building.

Ask for Karim Al-Ahmad.

He's your primary contact.

- My team is in there?

- Yes.

- In a tent?

- Yes. I trust you'll find everything inside.

Howdy.

There he is.

Hey.

- Cayley. Brad. Good to see you.

- Alan.

- Rachel.

- Welcome.

So, how are you guys

doing in here?

Fine, but we can't

get a Wi-Fi signal.

Except for a faint one

from that big pagoda.

I mean

the office building.

- Asked anyone about it?

- We figured we'd wait for you.

We've been trying

to e-mail Karim.

Karim Al-Ahmad.

I have a meeting with him at 3:00.

- That's great.

- Which is soon.

Yeah, that's

not gonna work.

- But what if the king arrives today?

- He won't.

I was told

he wouldn't.

- Oh, good.

- And you've met him before?

The king?

No. No, no, no. I...

I just met his nephew.

And that

was years ago.

- Was he a prince?

- Yeah. Yes, he was.

And he still is.

What do you call

a fish with no eye?

- I don't know.

- Fshshsh.

Anyway, look, the king is not coming today.

So you guys can just relax.

Shouldn't we call corporate

and let them know

that conditions here

are untenable?

No, Brad, we should wait until I

talk to Karim Al-Ahmad at 3:00.

Do you know why we're

not in that building?

Well, maybe all the

vendors are in here.

And maybe

we're just the first.

Kind of weird being Relyand

and being out here.

It's a brand-new city.

It's uncharted territory.

And we are the trailblazers.

Where are we

supposed to eat?

Guys, come on!

We are in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

With the deserts and the camels

and the sheikhs and the tents!

Oh!

Oh, my God!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Don't you know?

They can only kill me

with a golden bullet.

Golden bullet,

you get it?

It's "Lawrence of Arabia"?

Who?

- Hello there.

- Hello.

- What is your name?

- My name is Maha.

Maha. Great.

Where are you from?

My name

is Alan Clay.

I'm with

the Relyand Group.

I have an appointment

at 3:
00

to speak

to Mr. Karim Al-Ahmad.

I'm sorry to say

he's stuck in Jeddah.

He won't be able

to make it today.

- He's stuck in Jeddah?

- Yes, sir.

But he said he'll be here

tomorrow all day

and you can name the time

you want to meet.

Oh, okay, but I'm

with the Relyand Group

and we are out

in that tent down there.

And we can't get

a good Wi-Fi signal,

which is essential

to our presentation.

I think Mr. Al-Ahmad will be the

one to speak to about this.

- He's in charge of the vendors in the tent.

- Understood.

And any time tomorrow

will be fine.

It will all get sorted,
