Two people in heavy bomb-disposal suits and helmets sit in the cramped, orange-lit interior of a vehicle. One says, "Remember. If you cut the red wire, instant death. If you cut the blue wire, the bomb will be defused." The other, looking blank, replies, "Got it. Great. And.. which of those do we want again?" A caption below reads: "Bomb squads shouldn't be allowed to read the news." Votey: a roughly drawn close-up of a woman's face calmly answering, "Red."
