| β | [[Cueball]] wants to take [[Megan]] out for his idea of a cultural experience; a {{w|symphony}}. The inference is that Megan's culturally impoverished because "all she ever listens to is {{w|techno}}".

So it could be said that Cueball's ''mission to culture'' was a mission impossible in Megan's case. | + | [[Cueball]] wants to take [[Megan]] out for his idea of a cultural experience; a {{w|symphony}}.
