You don't give a 500 dollar tip to the housekeeper! That's inappropriate! That's inexcusable! That, I don't forgive! What were you thinking? What were you thinking?As a director, I have a very specific cinematographic vision, and if there's one thing I love, it's the overhead shot. Even more, I'm very partial to overhead shots featuring a tableau of objects. Here, take a look:
This is clearly good stuff, but the only thing is, if we're going to make use of some of these shots in our film, we're going to need some good objects to shoot. I sent a runner down to your local flea markets, and they spotted the following items available for sale:
Dog flu serum -
Asking price $7Binoculars -
Asking price $10Schematics -
Asking price $13Swiss army knife -
Asking price $15Heist planning notebook -
Asking price $20Team Zissou rings (set of two) -
Asking price $21Best part is, there was one of those items for sale at both markets, so one of you on each tribe can buy 'em if you want 'em.
Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give each of you $500, and you can post in your confessional how much you're going to spend on each item. You need to spend at least the asking price, but you could always spend more if you think there's going to be a bidding war.
The runners will take that money down to your local market and see if it's enough to buy the item for you. Only thing is, we don't actually pay these runners, so I've told them they can keep whatever they're given, even if it doesn't end up getting spent. If multiple people place the same top bid, well, we'll resolve that tie by generously letting the runners keep both players' money. This means the next highest bid will take the item.
There's one other thing. I really want to build an aquarium down by the baseball field to impress someone, and maybe we can even feature it in our movie.
Any funds not bid on flea market objects will automatically be funneled toward this project. Whichever tribe contributes the most toward the aquarium will receive immunity. If that's somehow a tie, I'll just ask those runners to flip one of those coins of theirs.
Winners of items and individual contributions to the aquarium will not be revealed.
