We’re back in the Cellular Division this week with parentheticals and, meals for the wealthy. After Alexis, Dawn, and Emma’s champions navigate the workday with a massive hangover, we identify songs and movies JUST from the parts of their titles that appear in parentheses. In round two, we’ll flip the script on “eating the rich” with a quiz about the meals served to wealthy characters we love and love to hate. And as always, we’ll cap it off with a cutthroat lightning round.

The Riddle
A reflection of romance: shaped like a square

So don't stop your listening, your own way you'll go
Don't tell me your dreams, 'cause I don't want to know
Answer
During the recording of Fleetwood Mac's landmark album Rumours, four of the members had various romantic entanglements, resulting in a bit of a love square. It is among the best-selling albums of all time, with over 40 million copies sold worldwide. Song titles from Rumours referenced in this riddle include "Don't Stop," "Go Your Own Way," "Dreams," and "I Don't Want to Know." I gotta say, this riddle is off The Chain.
