Ratner claims he is unable to choose; thus he is blindfolded and spun around until he stops, facing his victim. This promptly inspires a game of Spin the Bottle, where the bottle is an empty 40 of Bud, and the background music is the Led Zeppelin boxed set. After a number of spins, Tad is called into the game.
