Hey Steve, Daddy's finally agreed to let me buy my first jet, but he's only giving me a 15 million budget.

15 million? That's not so bad! Let's say you want an airplane, maybe 10 years old or so. All right, let's see what you recommend. If we take $15 million with 12 passengers, what do you think the longest trip that you're going to want to make? From where to where?

I do have to get to L.A. quite frequently to see my agent.

That's going to really bring you down to a Global XRS or a G550. Let's start with the Global XRS. That's what the outside of the airplane looks like. The interior is really luxurious.

That versus the Gulfstream 550 has a similar looking cabin. I'm still not sure which one's bigger.

Well, let me show you exactly how big they are. You stand here, and you can see that you're easily going to be able to fit inside there.

So I guess the blue one is bigger?

So I'll take this one.

Okay, but this Bombardier Global is a little bit more expensive. Think you can get Daddy to spend a little bit more money?

I can always get Daddy to spend more money!

Great! We're going to definitely do a deal.
