    Chief: It comes complete with headphones.
    (Alaine Kashian pops up wearing telephones over her ears)
    Chief: I sincerely apologize for that joke.

    (the screen shows Carmen sitting at her desk with Medeva appearing onscreen)
    Medeva: It began in the 60's, a kind of music puree. Jamaican sounds met R&B, producing Reggae. Bob Marley and the Wailers were a #1 band. By the 70's their fame spread to every land. Reggae's soothing rhythms made you want to relax. But there was talk of revolution on the vocal tracks. Bob Marley gave voice to Jamaica's poor. With hits like Redemption Song, Jammin' and more. But now it's 1981. And this Reggae King's time on earth is done. For the next million years, which is a witches lifespan. The Mighty Medeva will be a Reggae fan. (laughs evily as her face vanishes)
