"I gotta admit, building this funhouse in your basement must've taken some work. And I'm honestly at a loss where you were hiding the makeup, hair curler, pushup bra, and creepy little dress, because you look a hell of a lot different now. You got us reeeeal good. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go back upstairs and back to the party." He tried to sound casual, but it was taking a great deal of effort on his part.
