Hayley steal Paul’s children

Hayley’s black and white film is set entirely in the study, and features Paul tied up on a chair, with a pillowcase over his head.

As eerie music plays, footsteps can be heard, and Hayley appears wearing dark glasses, a cowboy hat, and a jacket. She whips off the glasses, grabs Pauls, and yells at him, “Ha! I’ve got you now, Paul!”.

As Paul shakes his head, he is dubbed speaking in a strange, southern US accent saying “Help! I’m just a poor man from New Zealand”.

Hayley’s character removes the pillowcase from Paul’s head, yells “Shut it!”, and then punches him. Paul’s character pleads to be released, claiming that he has nine kids. Hayley paces around him, “Umming”, before stating that she will let him go if he can spell the word ‘manoeuvre’, which prompts him to call her an “evil woman”.

When Paul subsequently spells the word incorrectly, Hayley shoots him in the head, and although we hear the sound of someone hitting the ground, he remains slumped in the chair.

Hayley blows on the barrel of her gun in celebration, and then claims that the nine kids will now be her children, before exclaiming “I’m the Daddy!”.

In the studio, Jeremy says that the Foley was quite good, but that the punches had looked fake. After Paul confirms that the punches were fake, Jeremy states that he would have liked to have seen a proper punch.

Jeremy decides that the stakes in Hayley’s film were the highest, with nine kids on the line, so Hayley earns 5 points.
