JACK: Welcome to the show, Candy and Tom. We're here today to discuss the latest political scandal. Candy, let's start with you. What do you think of the allegations that your party has been accepting illegal donations?
CANDY: Jack, those allegations are completely unfounded. Our party has always been committed to transparency and accountability. We would never do anything to jeopardize the trust of the American people.
TOM: Oh, come on, Candy. Everybody knows that your party is corrupt. You're just trying to cover up the truth.
CANDY: Tom, I'm not going to dignify that with a response.
JACK: Well, Tom, do you have any evidence to support your claims?
TOM: Of course I do. I have a secret dossier full of information about your party's illegal activities.
CANDY: That's ridiculous. You're just trying to discredit me.
TOM: I'm not trying to discredit you, Candy. I'm trying to tell the truth. The American people deserve to know what your party is really up to.
JACK: Well, this is certainly a heated debate. Let's take a short break and come back to it after the commercial.
[Commercial break]
JACK: Welcome back to the show. We're continuing our discussion with Candy and Tom about the latest political scandal. Candy, what do you have to say about Tom's allegations that you have a secret dossier full of damaging information about your party?
CANDY: Tom, I'm not going to dignify that with a response. It's simply not true.
TOM: Candy, I'm going to prove to you that I'm telling the truth. I'm going to release the dossier to the public right now.
CANDY: You wouldn't dare.
TOM: Oh, I would dare. And I'm going to do it right now.
[Tom pulls out a dossier from his briefcase and opens it. He starts to read from it.]
TOM: "The following is a list of illegal donations that the Democratic Party has accepted over the past decade:..."
CANDY: Stop! You're making it up!
JACK: Tom, please. This is not appropriate behavior.
TOM: I'm not going to stop. The American people deserve to know the truth.
[Tom continues to read from the dossier. Candy tries to stop him, but he is too fast for her. The audience is shocked and disgusted.]
JACK: That's enough, Tom! Please leave the studio immediately.
[Tom storms off the stage. Candy is left speechless. The audience is stunned.]
JACK: Well, that was certainly an unexpected turn of events. I'm not sure what to say.
CANDY: I'm speechless. I can't believe he did that.
JACK: Well, Candy, I think it's time for us to wrap up the show. Thank you for joining us.
[CANDY and JACK stand up and walk off the stage. The audience applauds cautiously.]
