After arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but the taxi drops them off in front of an abandoned warehouse. Banani then gets the idea to ring all the intercoms in the neighborhood to ask for information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the warehouse, Banani is buzzing every intercom, but no one is answering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani tries again, ringing all the intercoms in the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Is it possible that no one is answering? I\u2019ve rung practically all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli: Give it up, Banani! This isn\u2019t the time to insist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Wait, there\u2019s one left\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly, they hear sirens. A police patrol car pulls up next to them, and the officer rolls down the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officer: Excuse me, gentlemen? What are you doing? Why are you ringing all the intercoms at this hour?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: We\u2019re tourists, and we can\u2019t find our hotel\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officer: What\u2019s the name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Banani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officer: No! What\u2019s the name of the hotel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Oh, right! It\u2019s the Banana Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia: No, Banani! What are you saying? It\u2019s the Sunflower Hotel, not the Banana Hotel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor: \u201cAre you crazy? How do you confuse a sunflower with a banana?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Are you secretly booking hotels based on your name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026What\u2019s next?

Never heard of it! Listen, I recommend you call a taxi and get some help because there have been multiple burglaries in this neighborhood. It\u2019s not safe to be on the streets at this hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Oh, right! Thanks, we\u2019ll follow your advice, officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officer: Good. Have a nice evening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The patrol car drives away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia: But why didn\u2019t we ask for a ride?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: A ride where?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor: Why not to the airport?
