- Ah!
Hey, Oksana.
- What are you doing?
- Waiting for people to vote for me.
- You're never going to win Captain Fun that way.
You need to walk around, shake people's hands.
Flip burgers.
Look at Oren.
- I'm your captain of fun, folks!
Vote for me!
- Yay!
- Look, Otto, I know you and I have had our differences... - We have?
- Big time.
Lucky for you, I've had way more differences with Oren.
(sneezing) I guess no one says g esundheit anymore.
Which is why I'll help you beat him.
- You're different, aren't you?
- Very.
Now, the first thing to do is check to see how many more votes Oren has than you.
Let's do this.
- Whoa!
Oren has 111 votes?!
- No.
These lines are called tally marks.
It isn't a number, it's just a mark.
One mark stands for one vote.
- So, Oren has 1, 2, 3 votes.
- Why didn't you just put the number 3?
- Because I'd just have to keep erasing and rewriting every time a vote was added.
This way, it's easier once someone else votes for Oren.
- I vote for Oren!
- I just draw another tally mark, like this.
See?
Now Oren has 4 votes.
- Yay!
- I'm voting for Otto, and not just because I feel really bad for him.
- Yeah, me too.
- Alright.
So it's 2 votes for Otto, and 4 votes for Oren.
- That's pretty good, but I still don't have as many as him.
Time to fill the fun tank with a bunch of fun fuel and go into fun overdrive and push the pedal to the fun-etal.
- You're wasting time.
- Right.
