A two-character breakup scene on a beach at sunset. On the left, a man with spiky flame-like red hair throws his arms up in distress and shouts, "IT'S OVER SALLY. YOU CARE MORE ABOUT EFFICIENCY THAN FEELINGS!" On the right, a dark-haired woman in a green shirt reaches out toward him and replies, "PLEASE, LISA! COME BACK TO ME! REPEAT PRIOR STATEMENT 5X!" The joke is that her emotional plea is phrased like a terse, efficient command to repeat the previous line five times, proving his accusation. Votey (aftercomic): the dark-haired woman is shown alone, looking blank and deadpan, asking, "CAN WE STILL CARPOOL?"
