Fade in to Grif and Simmons waiting in line
Grif: Is it November sixth yet, God...
Simmons: Just a few more minutes, Grif. Then we can play all the Halo 4 we want.
Sarge drives up in a Warthog
Simmons: Uh, hey, Sarge.
Sarge: What in the devil are you boys doin' here? You told me you needed to take a sick day on November sixth. That's today!
Grif: Huh? Oh right- uh hghm hghm hghm coughing h-hm, u-h-h-hm. Uh, just needed to get some fresh air, Sarge.
Sarge: It's thirty degrees below freezing.
Grif: Wow, really? I had no idea. Uh-huh, whoo!
Simmons: Maybe you should go home. And, you know, get some bedrest.
Grif: What?
Sarge: Good point. If anything's gonna kill you it's me! Not some girly little bacteria.
Grif: Simmons, what the hell are you doing?
Simmons: Don't worry Grif, after I beat the campaign you can be my player 2 in Spartan Ops.
Grif: You'll never get away with this you son of a-
Sarge: Hey, Tiny Cham, get yer keester in the jeepster.
Grif: Hhh, you're right Simmons, I should come clean.
Sarge: What?
Simmons: What?
Grif: You got me Sarge, Simmons is the real sick one. I just drug him outta bed so that he and I could be the first few people to vote for President.
Sarge: You mean this is the line to vote?
There's a big sign that says "Buy Halo 4 Here! On Sale November 6th"
Grif: ...Yes?
Simmons: That's- that's not true.
Sarge: It isn't?
Simmons: Grif's the sick one, it was my idea to come out here and vote.
Grif: Clearly the fever's gone to his head.
Simmons: What!?
Sarge: Since when did you two start to care so much about voting?
Grif and Simmons: I've always cared about voting.
Sarge: Is that so.
Simmons: Absolutely.
Drums start playing for the start of a song
Sarge: Prove it.
Grif: You've got to be kidding me.
Simmons: This is all your fault.
Sarge: I'm not hearing entertaining and informative lyrics.
They start singing and dancing
Simmons: Well let us share with you our knowledge, about the electoral college
Grif: It comes after voting high school
Simmons: No it doesn't, that's a lie, fool
Grif: Right, I meant high school civics
Sarge: Come on, boys, now be specific! To sing this here election song for us, I think you'll need a big strong chorus!
Grif: Uh, who're these guys?
Chorus: We are citizens of this land, and we're here to lend a hand. We come together and we vote, because we're all in the same boat.
Grif: Elections take place at sea?
Simmons: They're speaking metaphorically.
Chorus: It's our future that we are choosing.
Grif: Voting is time travel? This is so confusing!
Simmons: *sigh*
Chorus: It's a lot of work to master, but it's really got its perks, but that's how voting works!
Chorus Member: Awesome, Halo 4, this is the best!
Simmons: Achoo. Hm. Hblb.
Sarge: Hmm, sounds like that cold of yours is getting worse. Maybe you should head home, Private.
Grif: What're you gonna do?
Sarge: Are you kidding me? I'm gonna go play Halo 4! I bought it while you two were singing that stupid song.
Grif: You took our spot in line!? We stood in the snow for seven hours!
Sarge: Nah, I had it preordered. Picked up my forest armor skin and arctic battle weapon skin too. The Blues don't stand a chance. See you back at the base, suckers. Heh heh.
Sarge drives off
Grif: Ah, ahahachoo.
Simmons: Well, I guess it's a good thing we took a sick day, huh Grif?
Grif: Oh God... I sneezed all over my visor!
Trivia[]
- This marks the third time the characters have been seen in the Halo 4 engine, and the first time they've been showing wearing Mark VI Armor in the Halo 4 Engine.
- The emblem on Grif's shoulder pad resembles a traffic cone, a reference to his 'Protect me cone!' line in This One Goes to Eleven .
- Strangely, Sarge has the Mark VI torso while Grif and Simmons use the Stalker torso.
- In the Season 10 Soundtrack there's an extended version of "That's How Voting Works", including Simmons summing up the way too complicated electoral college system.
