look alive

The president must be animated — look alive! — but even more, his message must be animating for voters.

“Don’t take it all off. He needs to look alive.”

“He doesn’t look alive; he looks ridiculous. Men don’t wear makeup, Juanita.”

But the looks were on a dummy M3gan, and she didn’t look alive.

“That’s it! Let’s move! Look alive!!” various coaches yelled as the players scrimmaged in green and bright orange vests.
