You were great, Liza! You've really developed a very personal style that's very effective for this kind of exchange. You've totally perfected this cute smile that radiates sweetness, sweet reasonableness, and gives just a tiny touch of sweet sarcasm to your reaction shots (especially when you add this slow blink). This humpty dumpty lookalike went after you like you were a tackling dummy, and you completely stopped him without ever speeding up or getting ruffled. It made your position look like the emergence of common sense, and his like a rattletrap that was falling apart by itself. And I laughed out loud at the end when the host said, "And thank you to Rick Berman, who is not an advocate for Wal-Mart, but did a pretty good job at it."
I was very impressed.
