Halle Berry is a movie star. A rich movie star. And when you're a rich movie star, you get to have most things your way. You get to lay out crazy demands, and people have to adhere to them. And when you're forced to be around normal people, you get to have things laid out so that said normals are able to perform their mundane tasks with minimal inconvenience to you.
Normal people are icky, and they breathe a lot, and smell like things - and why should someone as exalted as a movie star have to put up with that? They shouldn't have to. However, sometimes movie stars need work done on their houses. They need, say, their cabinets re-finished. Which means there will have to be workmen in the house. But that doesn't mean said workmen should be treated as though they're remotely equal to a great movie star like Halle Berry. She was in Catwoman, for God's sake. Why should she have to interact with lowly cabinet-refinishers? Of course she shouldn't have to. Which is why Halle had a few special clauses written into the contract she signed with the cabinet people:
- No worker is allowed to approach Halle in the house or on the premises.
- No worker is allowed to speak to Halle.
- Workers are only allowed to interact with Halle if she herself specifically requests it - you know, like if one of them leaves a footprint on a rug, Halle is then allowed to berate them and perhaps whip them with a riding-crop.
All of this sounds perfectly reasonable to Crabbie. I mean, Halle is paying $57,000 to have the cabinets done. For that kind of jack, if Halle wants the workmen to be in bunny costumes, they should have to be in bunny costumes.
