| 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 violists, cellists and bassists are on the right.
The title text basically just ices the cake. A sampler is an instrument frequently used in techno 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. Many classical pieces, such as Pachelbel's Canon in D major, have had success as techno remixes.

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)
