(music) Stick your love in my spot, spot...
We made it, graduate. Never have to see this place again.
God, this song is so terrible. Oop...Melanie alert. Excuse me.
(music) I need your love to make it hot, hot...
Hey Mel.
OMG do you LOVE Cherish Moi? I LOVE her. Her music is so great.
Did she say anything about me?
No, she just validated my opinion of her as a pop-culture zombie drone. Come on, let's bounce.

There's so much amazing native culture right here in our backyard. Why do people want that Occidental pap?
Hey man, I hear ya. I've been thinking about putting on some shows featuring homegrown Istaran talent. Poets, musicians, theater.
Really? Can I be a part of it? On the organizational side, I'm not an artist. I'm Dirk, by the way.
I'm Sam. Sure, man. Oh, here's Covey. She's part of the team I'm putting together.
...Hi.
Hey.

Looks like another bust of a show, Dirk. I guess Istarans just don't care about their own heritage. Say, have you locked down a job yet?
They don't come that easy when you have principles, Mr. Sales.
The next day...
I think Sam's lost the fire. He's taking some sellout job and skipping town. I had so much faith in him.
Maybe the problem is bigger than all of us, Dirk. How else can we call attention to all this wonderful art that's disappearing?
Get real. How can you even compete against something like Cherish Moi? The whole *world* is watching her.
You may be onto something, Frank...
