Case #2 Brittney

There's a tangent at 10:45 where Starlee talks to a girl working at a bookstore, who tells her all about how she'd like to travel to Ireland and how her mother won the lottery. I feel like this tangent added to one of the main ideas of the story- it is really easy to find out the intimate feelings of strangers, but not Britney Spears. There's a huge amount of personal information about celebrities on the internet and in the media, but it's almost impossible to have them open up like the average people Starlee talks to, like the cabby and the ticket help hotline guy.

At 13:10 Starlee says that she looks at the next item on her list, then pauses, and then says "find Britney Spears". Music starts of some strings and a xylophone going down the scale. The pause combined with the music gives a good sense of how ridiculous and impossible this task is going to be.
