Episode Four

Lisa Treehugger sits at a desk in her office; a look of pure concentration on her face, her eyebrows practically joining due to the extent of her thoughts. Lisa stares out the window at the magnificent beach that she had rid of litter just an hour before. A family of turtles thanks Lisa for saving their habitat with a wave of a flipper and a wink of an eye.
"All in a day's work," reports Lisa proudly. "If only that damn Carlos Richman would take time out from wooing women and crunching abs to consider the environment he is destroying."
Lisa strides about the room, her eyes glistening with tears as she considers all of the defenceless baby dolphins, bunny rabbits and sea cucumbers that are being hurt as a consequence of consumerism.
"Damn you, Carlos! Damn you, Malcolm!" screams Lisa to no one in particular. "I know your plans for mining oil on a tiny island off the coast of Malaysia. And I know that the island is inhabited by the rare species of hippo-monkey that only lives on that island. If you mine there... Oh those poor hippo-monkeys!"
Lisa walks towards an open window, her long, brown hair blowing seductively in the wind. A blonde, handsome man walks towards her. Their eyes meet and they both tilt their heads in a "I don't know you" sort of a way.

Meanwhile, in Malcolm Shady's poorly lit office...

Carlos marches through the door (which was luckily open) with Malcolm power walking in after him. Carlos turns towards Malcolm, hands on hips, chin thrust upwards in a superman-like pose.
"What on earth could be that important that you had to interupt my romantic and expensive dining experience with the lovely Alexandra Restauranter?" booms Carlos.
"Did you just propose to Alexandra?" asks Malcolm. "That's a bit quick isn't it? You've only been dating her for a month..."
"Get to the point, Mr Shady. You're wasting perfectly good time that Alexandra could be wasting by staring at inanimate objects," says Carlos with an air of annoyance.
"Right. Yes. Of course. Carlos, it's the OilyIsland case. It has been leaked."
Carlos's jaw drops and his eyes open wide. So wide, in fact, that his glass eye falls out and rolls across the floor.
