Christine:
[Lisa is still unable to talk and can only communicate through writing notes; reading Lisa's note] "My link is the introduction to the commercials, and if we don't have any commercials, we don't get paid." ... Oh, I get it! It's time to test the audience voting device again! Okay now, everybody who wants to see Lisa get her voice back and watch some commercials so I can get paid, go ahead and touch the green square on the bottom of your screen. Touch now!

[The vote fails. Lisa writes Christine another note.]

Christine:
[Reading note] "Try something more imaginative." ... Oh, I know! Eugene, come here, sit down.

[Eugene Contreras walks over and sits down]

Christine:
Now, all of you who want to see something really horrible happen to Eugene here, and see Lisa get her voice back and watch some commercials so I can get paid, touch the green square on the bottom of your screen.

[The vote fails again.]

Christine:
Okay, I've got it this time. Now, all of you who want to see something really horrible happen to Eugene, and see Lisa get her voice back and watch some commercials so I can get paid, and see Vanessa... where's Vanessa?

[Vanessa Lindores walks over and sits down]

Christine:
And see Vanessa here get hit with water, just touch the...

[Christine is drenched.]

Christine:
...green square on your screen!

[This time the vote passes. Vanessa is hit with water, and Lisa laughs out loud.]

Christine:
Wait a minute! What about the something really horrible that was supposed to happen to Eugene?!

[Eugene gets a pie in the face.]

Lisa:
And now it's time for the commercials!
