Five players (Elana Mann, Anna Mayer, Vivian Babuts, Chris Diaz, and Roger Tilton) dressed as cigarette girls offered the crowd sugar, nothing, various sizes of cheese, used motor oil and cigarettes. Subsequently, the cigarette girls donned orange hoods and posed in front of the crowd while a dancer dressed in a military uniform performed a burlesque routine.  The dancer, Charlotte La Belle Araingee, provocatively danced to a soundtrack of "Combat Baby" by Metric and "Wicked Game," by Chris Isaak.  The two songs were interrupted with sounds of helicopters and generators
