The Moment of Silence Hints
How can I trick the conspiracy agents into letting Debbie and Tommy go?
1 of 16: Remember where it is that Peter's hiding out.
2 of 16: It's not a normal building exit -- it's just a bathroom.
3 of 16: That should be nothing for the agents to worry about, but it would arouse their suspicions if Debbie and Tommy suddenly insisted on going there instead of using their apartment's facilities.
4 of 16: So visit the apartment bathroom and see if any ideas come to you.
5 of 16: If you click on the toilet in the bathroom, you'll find that neither left- nor right-clicking on it gives any kind of response. You know what that means.
6 of 16: You need to use an item with the toilet.
7 of 16: Thinking about the main plan here, what you'd want to do is try to flush something that would clog the drain so that the toilet wouldn't work anymore -- then you'd have a good excuse to use the one down the hall.
8 of 16: There's nothing in the bathroom you can try to flush, so search elsewhere.
9 of 16: Look in Tommy's room. Maybe there's a toy just the right size and shape for Operation Toilet Clogger.
10 of 16: There are several things you can click on and examine, but only one of them has something you can take.
11 of 16: On the blue box in the corner opposite the door is a bag of "Jungle Bears" jelly beans.
12 of 16: Notice how the ones Tommy put in a cup of water swelled up. That could work!
13 of 16: Grab the bag of candy and go use it on the bathroom's toilet.
14 of 16: Press the "toilet flush" button that's on the wall above the toilet. (If Debbie says the candies aren't swollen up enough yet, then wait a few seconds and try again.)
15 of 16: Viola! Instant toilet overflow!
16 of 16: Now go talk to the agent who's near the door until he lets you go, then click on the door to leave.
