Ivan awakes in some formal but non-military get up.
"Isn't it just! Can I trust you to keep your attention and affection on the Bacheloret - Cam's his name - and off the other contestants?"
"If you'd like to have your attraction to women temporarily removed, that's also something we can do."
"No, I frequently in conversations bring up things which the other party has not already suggested."
"The format is that everybody comes out one at a time, gets a few minutes to introduce themself to the bach, and goes inside. Once everyone's there, you'll all get to mingle for a few hours until he decides who's staying till next week and who's going home in a Rose Ceremony where he passes out meaningful flowers."
"Huh. And I suppose you want this to be suspenseful so everyone's got to be giving it a fair enough shake?"
"I will see what I can do but perhaps if I look at the ladies out of many years of habit you can just edit that out."
"Sure. The real risk is the case where you aren't immediately eliminated and proceed to develop some more substantial competing relationship."
"Thank you. You might also consider coming up with a gimmick to make yourself stand out among the other contestants, for the limo exits. A pun or a way to turn the interaction into a slightly scripted one."
"What, you're not going to give him whatever kind of eyeball doodad you're using to take notes on us so we have to be punny to be remembered?"
"Perfectly acceptable! It'll still be nice to give the audience something to latch onto, in any case, but that should do it."
