How can I get Meche's stockings?
  • 1 of 7: The only way she'll get rid of them is if they're no longer useful.
  • 2 of 7: If there were a hole in them, for instance.
  • 3 of 7: Notice how she keeps flicking her cigarette in the ash tray.
  • 4 of 7: The ash tray is the only thing between her ashes and her stockings.
  • 5 of 7: Move it out of the way.
  • 6 of 7: Use the ash tray, and if your timing is right, she'll ruin her stockings with her cigarette.  (Keep trying if you don't get this right the first time.)
  • 7 of 7: She'll throw them in the trash can.  Take them.
