Isn't that where the agent convinces Otto's girlfriend to turn on the juice? Very reminiscent of the famous study (so famous I don't remember the institution it was at) where people were convinced to turn up the juice on a presumed victim in the name of scientific inquiry.

Which reminds me, I was in too much of a hurry to post before. I can think of more lines to add to the first paragraph.

Somebody told them to do it! Nobody told them not to! Those guys were talking a foreign language! One of them smiled! We have to set an example! The guy who did it just got a Dear John letter! He was abused, years ago! He'd been drinking! They were asking for it! They were the wrong religion! CLINTON!!
