Ele...in the time before man. With the election for emporer of Bullemia hanging in the balance, a recount of the votes in the Swamp Region is under way. Meanwhile, Bombast Party candidate Jorge Flush meets with his vice emperor running mate, Slick Shamely... Jorge: Whatcha workin' on, slick? ...I mean, Mr. Shamely, sir... Slick: Your victory speech, kid. Jorge: You mean I won?! Slick: Well...not officially. Jorge: Then how can you be so sure I'll win the recount of the disputed ballots? Slick: Oh...let's just say it's not the votes that count, it's who counts the votes. Jorge: I don't get it. Hey, did you know my brother is the high sheriff of the swamp district? Slick: Gee, no kidding. Perhaps this is a good time for you to stop talking off-script and start looking imperial.
