"The Villain. Even Mother Teresa wanted him dead. The Queen. What strings did she pull to get to the top? Undercover Guy. 72 bullets had his name on them. The Sexy Blonde. Like a convenience store, she was open all night. The Partner. He's in charge now, but as a young child he never really got the attention he longed for. Later, he had some trouble in school. But he met a girl and together they went on a backpacking trip around Europe. The Mayor. After last night, could she still be called "Your Honor"? The Right Fielder. He got paid $50,000.00 for four days filming."
