I am sure it wasn't free. Secondly, I doubt he was personally requested; more like he wants to be the one to show around the famous people. Lastly, the fact that a "professional" would conduct himself in such a distasteful way speaks only to his character, not hers...after all what was her offense? Not seeming interested enough?
