(Theme music plays as the camera is aimed at two reporters sitting at a table.)

Reporter One: Hello, reporting live from Kansas, the grey state. I'm Reporter One, and this is Reporter Two.

Reporter Two: We have some devastating news coming from a nearby village.

Reporter One: Today we suffered the loss of a little boy. His twin sister is still alive, but with critical injuries.

Reporter Two: And we are very sorry that we haven't updated our feed in a while. This place is incredibly boring.

Reporter One: Focus Number Two! We have a dead boy!

Reporter Two: Wait, what? I'm afraid of dead bodies! Where is it?!?

Reporter One: You sissy. It's not even here.

Reporter Two: Huh?

Reporter One: Apologies, everyone. 

Reporter Two: What?

Reporter One: We send our regards to the family of this poor little boy. We also send our hope that his twin will be all right. 

Reporter Two: I'm having trouble keeping up.

Reporter One: Well, that's it.

Reporter Two: That's it? I thought there was more!

Reporter One: Did you know that Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water?

Reporter Two: No.

Reporter One: Well, that's what those two did. They copied the rhyme. Funny, their names were also Jack and Jill. And Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after! Oh My Fudgsicles! Do you know what this means!?!

Reporter Two: That this place is now less boring?

Reporter One: No. Yes! But what I meant was, we're gonna be famous! Figuring out that that was the same as the rhyme! 

Reporter Two: You know that we're still streaming, right?

Reporter One: Oh. One of us always forgets. Sorry, everyone. But we're off!
