[The camera shifts to show a sweaty, bedraggled man in a Carrier Air Conditioning uniform limping up the aisle to the stage. He has a radio and a tool pouch hung on his belt, sunglasses and a 'National Rifle Association' cap on his head, and a cigarette in his mouth. There are also bits of insulation stuck all over him. He makes it up onto the stage and takes a microphone.] "Sorry 'bout that. I just now got off work. Just want to say thanks to all y'all what voted for me. It's a real honor to receive this token of y'all's esteem--" [A heckler in the crowd starts yelling, "Shut up and sit down, you stupid brain-dead redneck!" BKWillis glares at the heckler and snarls...] "Oh, be quiet Nyssa!" [The view shifts for a moment to show Psycho Nyssa, dressed in an elegant blue ball gown, giving BKWillis 'the finger'. It then shifts back.] "Anyway, thank y'all. I promise I'll be more presentable when I... present. Aheh heh..." [BKWillis leaves the stage amid renewed heckling from Psycho Nyssa. "Hack! Jerk! Baka! Half-literate purveyor of copyright-infringing semi-pornography!"] "Hey! I'm not 'half-literate'!"
