Ilya: I want to f-k you.
Shane: Not here. Not with f-king Scott Hunter next door.
Ilya: He is hot. We should let him listen like mating call.
Shane: You’d like that, wouldn’t you?

What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Shane is worried about Scott Hunter hearing them through the thin hotel walls, but Ilya makes a clever joke about letting him listen like a “mating call.” It’s a funny bit of banter that shows Ilya isn’t nearly as stressed as Shane is.
Book vs TV Series
In the book, Shane is just generally worried about being seen or heard. The show writers added this hilarious “mating call” joke specifically about Scott Hunter to show that Ilya isn’t nearly as worried about the thin walls as Shane is! Also probably to set up Scott more as a character since the show is mixing the two books together in the next episodes.
