<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Nala:</strong> “Prince Charming, we’re going to start with you. Many seniors are worried about losing their benefits. What would you say to reassure them?”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Nala:</strong> “Mr. Charming, please stay on point. What would you do to protect benefits?”</p>
<p><strong>Prince C:</strong> “Ah, you piteous serf. Again your addled peasant wit turns to fantasies of mirth. Fret not, simpleton. Greater minds than yours are at play.”</p>
<p><strong>Nala:</strong> Um… alright… Mr. Yoda, how do you feel about the Prince?</p>

<p><strong>Prince C: </strong> “You wretched dolt! Can you not see the devil before you? Mine assailant is clearly in league with witches! Mark my words; your mangy hide will soon feel the lash of his sorcerous machinations!</p>
