As a Power Caller for RegalView, WorryFree was my premier client. This is just incontrovertible proof of WorryFree's evil practices. They're turning humans into grotesque horse-people. And I want the world to know that... that... that they're manipulating humanity for the sake of profit. Now, we cannot let this go on. You have to call your congressman, alright. Call your local politicians and let them know we will not stand for this. It's been one day since the viral celebrity leak to the world, new scientific achievements made by WorryFree and their genius CEO, Steve Lift, which caused WorryFree stocks to sky rocket at a rate faster than any other company in history. House and Senate leaders joined Lift in ringing the bell to celebrate the record stock market rally WorryFree's success has created. Fuck you!

Alright, but all you got to do is just... just do right from now on, man. Yeah, I know and that's what... I tried to change it. I tried to stop it. But it's... it's just right in front of their faces. They're turning human beings into monstrosities and nobody gives a fuck. Most people that saw you on that screen knew calling their congressman wasn't gonna do shit. If you get shown a problem, but have no idea how to control it, then you just decide to get used to the problem. Yeah, and that's why our plan for tomorrow... is important. 'Cause if we stop them from crossing the picket line this time, we win. - That's a good plan. - Yeah. Tomorrow we show 'em how to give fucks.
