Angry, she leaves the conference with the words "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you - I'm out", this is a homage to the film Half Baked , in the audience you can still see the actor Guillermo Díaz , who said exactly this sentence in the film. She walks into the street and meets a fan who wants an autograph on Spear's current album Femme Fatale . After the scene, Spears is searched by a police officer for being provocative on the street. After the examination, she continues down the street, where a paparazzo photographs her. First she poses for him, then she walks up to him and destroys his camera. More paparazzi appear and she escapes and jumps onto the roof of a taxi. To defend himself, Spears takes her microphone and swings it around to then use it as a weapon against the paparazzi. In the background of the action there is also an homage to Spear's film Crossroads , on a cinema screen is the words Crossroads 2: Cross Harder . After all paparazzi have been switched off, however, they get up again and turn out to be robots. Suddenly a man appears and saves Spears by calling her into the car. During the escape, Spears dances on the passenger side. However, the driver dumps milk on his body and Spears finds out that he is also a robot. At this point the video starts again at the press conference as Spears only had one daydream. The same man from the car comes on stage, ends the press conference, and escorts Spears out of the room. Meanwhile, he turns to the camera, which shows that his eyes are glowing red. This was another tribute to Michael Jackson's thriller .
