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.

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)
