| Mission to Culture |
 Title text: It can't be very MUCH money... they apparently can't even afford a sampler. I mean, with a little remixing, some of this could be kinda good! |
Explanation
Cueball wants to take Megan out for his idea of a cultural experience. The inference is that Megan's culturally impoverished because 'all she ever listens to is techno'. After much griping on various levels, she starts to get into the experience — sort of. The big 'cultural lesson' she [mis-]gleans from the experience is similar to what a sporting aficionado would gain from watching a sports event.
Her observation regards the seating configuration of a typical modern orchestra, in which the violinists all sit audience-left, while the viole, celli and bassi are on the right.
The title text basically just ices the cake. A sampler is an instrument frequently used in techo music that samples other sounds and plays them back, usually electronically altered. Remixing is a process, also often used in techno, of editing recorded music to get a different sound.

- [Cueball is pushing Megan through a door.]
- Cueball: All you listen to is techno.

- Cueball: Shhh.
- [The couple sit in the audience just before the concert.]
- Megan: The right side is definitely better.

If Megan's only got stick-figure arms with no hands or fingernails, how is she leaving multiple scratches on the floor in the first scene? 121.223.16.83 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

- The implication of fingers. Sort of like how characters in old video games can grab things despite having blobs instead of hands. -Pennpenn 108.162.250.155 05:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Edited the explanation section on orchestra seating to make plurals of violist, cellist, and bassist consistent with violinist. 108.162.219.21 05:25, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Am I missing something or does the sentence "much griping on various levels, for instance..." not make sense? There is no other griping than the one described in the "for instance". And even that doesn't have various levels --172.71.160.71 21:06, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
