#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Pretty Woman (1990), where do the main characters know each other from?

#T NARRATIVE TIMELINE

Inciting Incident
Mentioned Context: High
Edward Lewis leaves a party in a borrowed Lotus Esprit, gets lost on Hollywood Boulevard, and struggles to drive the manual transmission car.
The summary is factually incorrect. Edward is driving himself in a sports car (Lotus Esprit) belonging to his lawyer. He is not in a limousine, nor does he have a driver at this moment; his inability to drive the stick shift and getting lost is the specific reason he stops to ask Vivian for directions.
"He is driven there by his limousine driver, who knows the area well."
Act 1
Context: Medium
Edward hires Vivian initially to give him directions to the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, and she drives the car for him.
The summary skips the initial interaction where Vivian is hired to drive the car because Edward cannot handle the Lotus. It jumps straight to hiring her for the night.
Act 1
Mentioned
Upon arriving at the hotel, Edward hires Vivian for the night.
This is accurate, though it happens after she drives him to the hotel.
"hires Vivian Ward... for the night."
Act 1 (The Morning After)
Mentioned
Edward proposes Vivian stay for the week to act as his 'beck and call girl' for business events.
The financial figure ($3,000) and the duration (one week) are accurate.
"offers her $3,000 to stay with him for the entire week to act as his date"
Act 2
Mentioned Context: Medium
Edward provides money for clothes, but the Hotel Manager (Barney Thompson) is the one who teaches Vivian etiquette and table manners.
Edward does not offer to teach her, nor does he do the teaching. He simply expects her to look the part. The Hotel Manager is the character who teaches her which fork to use and how to dress.
"teach her how to behave in high society"
Act 2
Mentioned Context: Low
Vivian stays in Edward's penthouse suite with him for the duration of the week.
Phrasing implies he gets her a separate room/suite. In the film, she stays in *his* penthouse suite.
"set her up in a nice hotel suite"

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

Edward Lewis, a wealthy corporate raider, hires Vivian Ward, a prostitute working on Hollywood Boulevard, for the night. He is driven there by his limousine driver, who knows the area well.

The next morning, Edward, impressed by Vivian and finding her company enjoyable and unexpectedly refreshing, offers her $3,000 to stay with him for the entire week to act as his date for several business and social functions. He also promises to set her up in a nice hotel suite, buy her a new wardrobe, and teach her how to behave in high society. This is their initial arrangement and forms the basis of their developing relationship throughout the film.

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] Edward Lewis meets Vivian Ward on Hollywood Boulevard and hires her for the night after she helps him find his hotel.
[2] Edward is driving himself in a borrowed silver Lotus Esprit. He is lost and struggling with the manual transmission, which is the catalyst for him stopping to ask Vivian for directions.
[3] The $3,000 offer for a week-long stay is a central plot point and the reason the original script was titled '3000'.
[4] Vivian stays in Edward's suite at the Regent Beverly Wilshire; he doesn't provide a separate one. Furthermore, the hotel manager Barney Thompson is the one who teaches her etiquette, not Edward.
[5] The business contract serves as the foundation for the romantic arc of the movie.

#O MISSED POINTS & OVERSIGHTS

High
Edward was driving a borrowed Lotus Esprit and was lost.

This is the fundamental reason the characters meet. The AI summary incorrectly claims he had a driver who knew the area.

Medium
Vivian actually drove Edward to the hotel.

Because Edward could not handle the manual transmission of the Lotus, Vivian took the wheel, which established her 'street-smart' and capable persona early on.

Medium
The role of Barney Thompson, the hotel manager.

The AI attributes Vivian's social education to Edward, but it is actually the hotel manager who provides the crucial etiquette training and support.
