"What do you mean, his son snuck in? How the hell did that happen? This was supposed to be a controlled experiment! Has he gotten into contact with any of the test subjects?"
"Yes, a girl."
"Well, shit stick. The experiment's useless now. We might as well call off the entire project -"
"We can't. We're televising it live, remember?"
"Oh, shit. I forgot about that. Darn it. Darn network funding."
"He hasn't told her anything that would ruin the experiment."
"Can't we go in and get him?"
"He's proving very popular with the audience. Network won't let us pull him."
"Bloody hell. What a raging mess."
"It could be worse. He could blow our entire cover."
"We'll be fine. He doesn't know the full extent of the experiment. We'll just factor him into the results."
"Just make sure he doesn't get hurt."
"Roger that. We'll make sure the team knows he isn't part of the experiment."
"Good. Don't want the producer's son getting hurt."
