Discussion

Tony M Jul 20, 2016:
@ Asker Is 'billing' the actual name of the series?

If not, then I suspect this is 'billing' in the sense of 'affichage' — this short description is how the sreis is being / has to be 'billed'

Please confirm exactly how the term is being used?
Marie-Andree Dionne Jul 20, 2016:
Where is "Billing"? Hi,
I see no "billing" in your quoted text. Do you mean that "Billing" is the title of the series and that is what you ask help for?
Also, the last sentence of the text you quote is very strange. Is that in the text itself?
I think we need more info to be able to help you.

Générique (à venir)

Ce sont, je crois, deux paragraphes séparés.

La version en 8 épisodes n'a pas encore ses têtes d'affiche ni ses mentions.

Difficile de comprendre le rapport entre le titre et le texte, sauf si cette épisode démarre quand le client, Melgom, paie sa note à la réception. et que les ennuis commencent pour le gérant de l'hotel. "La note" aurait alors un sens métaphorique.
