Transcript

(A clip of Gina drawing Ben in fast motion plays while Gina speaks.)

Gina: So yesterday a volunteer from the Salinas campaign came to our door. He was harmless, just going door to door passing out campaign materials. But, it really freaked everyone out. (Gina draws Ben to look like a devil and then camera cuts to Gina sitting on the bed.) But it gave us an idea. We really need to get close to Salinas and...well, you'll see.

(Camera cuts to the door of the rented house. A doorbell is ringing. Someone opens it and Jonas appears, wearing a brown jacket and a Salinas for Congress campaign button.)

Jonas: Oh, hi! I'm here to talk to you today about, uh, Edward Salinas. He's running for US Congress and, uh, well he's...ya know, he's got a lot of great policies. Yeah, he sure does. (Looks down on notepad.) He's got a lot of great ideas about...you know. School children. He really wants to let them lead the way, show them all the beauty they possess. I suck at this, don't I?

(Cut to black with the doorbell ringing again. This time, Daniel is at the door.)

Daniel: Hi! Wow, that's a lovely dress, ma'am. Speaking of lovely, have you heard of this lovely fellow? (Points to notepad reading "Salinas=Awesome".) He's running for US Congress and he's here to make some awesome changes for you! Well, I mean, not for you, for your community. Because why would you want to change who you are, right? (The girls giggle in the background.) Right.

Sarah: Next!

(Cut to black with the doorbell ringing again. Sarah is at the door, wearing a low cut blouse with a Salinas for Congress campaign button in a very "provocative" location.)

Sarah: Oh, hey there. I was wondering if you'd be interested in hearing about a man named Edward Salinas. He's the man with the plan and it's a big one. Oh, it surely is! He wants to build a stronger community. The strongest, firmest, hardest community. What?

Gina: No!

Sarah: Oh, you think you can do better?

(Cut to black with the doorbell ringing again. Gina is at the door wearing a cap, fake mustache, and Salinas for Congress button.)

Gina: (speaking in a "Southern" Accent) Well howdy, sir. How are you...? (Laughing in background.) Shhh! I need to be serious for a minute. Here are some campaign materials (holds up "Fight the Order" posters) that I think you should take a look at. So, can I interest you in this total psycho who's trying to kill one of us? Hmm, can I? Yep? Hmm. Yeah?

Sarah: That would be a "no".

(Cut to black with the doorbell ringing again. Jennie is at the door wearing glasses and a Salinas for Congress button.)

Jennie: Hey! I'm sorry to bother you. If you have a moment, I'd like to speak with you about Edward Salinas. He's running for Congress and he really wants to improve our community. You know, he's from the area, so his concerns are your's. Most importantly, he's just dedicated to transforming this community block by block.

(Camera turns to Daniel, Jonas, Sarah, and Gina, who all look stunned.)

Daniel: Awesome!

Sarah: Oh, yeah. That was...

Jonas: Wow, Jennie! That was great! That was really good.

Sarah: You win.

Jennie: Thank you!

(Jonas runs up to hug Jennie. Camera cuts to a side room, where Jonas and Jennie can be heard speaking.)

Jonas: I just, I don't think you should go in there alone.

Jennie: How can you say that? You up and went to London without talking to any of us first. At least we're deciding this together.

Jonas: Well, then, okay. You're gonna need protection.

Jennie: I'm not taking a gun in there.

Jonas: Well, why not?

Jennie: Because if I get caught I'm gonna go to prison!

Jonas: I'm gonna be worried sick about you! Okay?

Jennie: That's sweet. I'm glad you're concerned about me, I really am. But, I'm not a helpless little girl. Okay? I can take care of myself.

Jonas: Okay.

Jennie: Okay?

Jonas: Okay. Well, can I at least buy you some mace?

Jennie: Yes, you can buy me some mace.

Jonas: Thank you.

(Cut to Gina sitting on the bed drawing a picture of Jennie holding a Salinas sign. She holds up her hand to reveal a code [see notes].)

Gina: So, Jennie's gonna be our volunteer at the Salinas campaign. I know what you guys are thinking--you don't think she can be trusted. So Jennie's gonna answer all your questions directly. But guys, if she's gonna do this, she does not deserve to be second guessed. Okay? So, if you'd like to, post a tiny message tonight and she'll post a reply. She wants to put those plantcake rumors to rest.

Notes

• The code written on Gina's hand refers to a TinyURL which leads to Jennie's SnapVine account.
