A doctor in a white coat with a head mirror cheerfully holds out a bandaid to a patient (shown from behind, with orange hair), saying "But look! The bandaid has dancing cartoon vegetables on it!" The patient replies flatly, "Yeah... I guess so..." A caption beneath reads: "I'm still not really looking forward to that lethal injection" — revealing the doctor is using a child's cheerful reassurance trick on someone facing execution. Votey: the doctor, now looking uneasy, says "Eesh... I'm fresh out of lollipops. Is that okay?" then, quietly, "Hello?"
