While the Prince, at one point, goes off to another state for a short vacation, the Assistant starts playing Halo. The Prince comes back to find his companion sleep deprived and his eyes glued to the TV screen, playing Halo. When the owner of the Xbox tries to take the controller, the assistant viciously yells "GET AWAY" and scares him back, all while staring at the screen and playing the game.
