Hank: What’s that for?
Svetlana: This costume? I’m planning a publicity 1 stunt 2 to get our store more business.
Hank: You think that dressing 3 up as a giant banana will get our store more business?
Svetlana: We need to get media coverage 4 for the grand opening of our store and attract as much attention as possible. I’ll be on hand to give sound bites and organize photo ops.
Hank: How does a giant banana tie into our store?
Svetlana: It doesn’t directly, but trust me, it’ll get noticed.
Hank: I was thinking of a traditional marketing 5 campaign, more along the lines of holding a contest or a giveaway. And I don’t see how a giant banana is going to get media attention.
Svetlana: The person in the giant banana costume will skydive into the parking lot of the store.
Hank: What idiot have you convinced to do that?
Svetlana: Well, that’s actually why I’m here...
