*you get a new transmission. Cecil is sitting again.*
"Now let's try that one more time~"
*he sets a hand under his chin and spins some fabric idly with his other hand*
"I've got a new show for you, with a very special guest."
*he grabs the fabric and yanks it down, Rita's necktie pulling her into frame by the neck. She's gaged this time. He looks directly into her eyes, looking down at her*
"Isn't that right?"

[ INCOMING TRANSMISSION ]
Goddammit, Cecil. Let her go.
You can take whatever pieces you want out of me, but you leave her the hell out of this, you get me?
... Mmm, dammit.
I'm coming to get her. Get that goddamn gag off her, Cecil. I'm not kidding.
Awh, but wheres the show in that?
Proper drama is made in blood, love, betrayal, and DESPERATION
that's the key really. Place a man on the brink and any standards break. He will do things he never would do before, whatever it takes. And THAT-
...Makes good television
Oh, bullshit. That's not good television. It's the same shit your family always produced just with another named slapped on the front of it.
[ SIGH ]
...Look. Just— What do you want? I just want Rita back safe.
People watch it. People want to see it. And they want to see me presenting it
Do you wanna know what I like about you, junebug? You don't. You don't fall to that desperation. Most people lose all logic in life or death situations. You? You have this ability. You focus in, calculate. It's so intriguing! So so very intriguing~
To answer your question, I want to see you panic. I want to see that brain break down and have you fight in your lowest. Do anything it takes~ broadcast to a live studio audience!
I know you won't shatter with your life on the line. Which is why I have her
*he draws his finger along her jawline*
She's got such a personality too, the audience will love her.
