In The Last Man on Earth Season 2 Episode 4 (titled "C to the T") , Phil "Tandy" Miller is forced to wear a shock collar and locked in a stockade by his fellow survivors to pay for his past lies and manipulative behavior.

I did that crime, I gotta do that time. C to the T. Classic Tandy.

Below is an original, creative dramatic monologue written from Tandy's perspective during his long, isolated night in the stockade before the fire breaks out. The Monologue: "C to the T"

Citronella spray and electricity. A true sensory experience. Who needs five-star spas when you can have high-voltage shock therapy on a beach in Malibu? It's all about trust, guys! I get it! I really, truly do. (He looks up at the stars, his voice softening.)

(He sighs deeply, resting his chin as much as the wooden board allows.)

(The scene is pitch black. The sound of crickets and crashing ocean waves fills the background. A tight spotlight illuminates a wooden stockade. Tandy's head and hands are locked in place. Around his neck is a glowing shock collar. He is sweaty, exhausted, and desperately trying to maintain his trademark false optimism.)
