There are two sides to every great cause. Which side are you on?

"Hey Chief! What's the good word?"

Ugh. Ginger's at it again. This time she's chained herself to the damn thing. I have to go out there and talk her down.

"Oh boy. Good luck with that."

Thanks.

MOMENTS LATER, OUTSIDE ...

"Well look who decided to show up! To what do we owe this special honor, Chief?"

Ms. Vitis, you know why I'm here. Now I'm going to need you to step away so these boys can do their jobs.

"And YOU know I'm NOT GOING ANYWHERE! You see this plaque? That's something special. It's been here for decades! There's no way I'm going to let those guys come in here and just wipe it out!"

Ms. Vitis. How many times do we need to go through this? These boys are professionals, trained in the most advanced cleaning technology available. They specialize in jobs like this that require triple cleaning action. Now step aside so they can get to work.

"What happened to you, Peri? You used to care about these kinds of things. Now you're nothing but a bristle pusher. Same as all the rest."

I grew up, Ginger. I grew up. Now please, get out of there. You can't stop this. Not this time. If it makes you feel better, I'll have the boys turn on the Pressure Indicator Light to tell us if they're brushing too hard.

"IF THEY WANT TO CLEAN THIS MOUTH, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO BRUSH RIGHT THROUGH ME."

Suit yourself. Goodbye, Ginger. Fire it up, boys.

"FREEEEEDOMMMMMM!!!"
