"Oh, I get it," Michael says. "'Vores' meaning 'eat' and 'loca' meaning 'location' so we're talking about a location, so I imagine it's all those California foodies and I bet that 'D - food grown near their homes'..."

As the question is revealed Michael starts laughing. Billy laughs also. Once the answers are shown Michael says, "Do you want to know what bank and phone company he worked for?" "No, just the answer," Billy replies.
