What Episode 3's whole night was for: the Client's network of 10,000 fruit-smashing channels, the first fruit free and then 2 cents a fruit; the cinematic, surprisingly emotional film was wanted for two seconds of one of them, and his courses earn more than the channels.

What the whole night was for. The Client runs ten thousand channels where a hammer smashes one fruit per clip, the first fruit free and the next for 2 cents; nine in ten have never had a paid view, and his course on how anyone can do it earns far more than the channels. The cinematic, surprisingly emotional watermelon film was ordered for two seconds of one of them, and the viewer can piece that together from pausable plants long before the boast says it outright.
