A man gets undressed in the backseat of a car as he is being driven. He puts on lipstick and when we see him make a grand exit at an event, he's got a wig piled high on his head. Though she never speaks any lines, the text later reads "I change my genes in mine. XO Lily". A clever special effects sequence then showed the change taking place. The final text suggestively asks, "Escort. What do you do in yours?"
