I know peoples who work at a fancy hotel in Manhattan.
The head concierge came back to the hotel one night after doing many errands.
His co workers were like, "Um, Nicolas Cage is staying here and has been asking for some odd stuff."
"like what" the head Concierge asked.
"like. he wants an archery set brought up to his room so he can practice archery for a movie."
"mmmm...No." Said the head Concierge.
