What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

The Royal Tenenbaums: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): The Royal Tenenbaums ⇒ The Grand Budapest Hotel (the host's read). Grand Budapest is the best alternative case for the Anderson slot, but it could not exist without Tenenbaums' blueprint.
    “Um, but Grand Budapest does not exist.”
