John Anderson is the winner.
To be honest, I wanted to give the tics to Rory, who elegantly composed a complete sentence that not only brought in ideas pressed forward by French philosophers from Sartre to Foucault but also used the correct form of complement/compliment. But, alas, this Rory punk is not even local.
Several people in the office, however (whose votes I originally vetoed in favor of promoting poststructuralism), liked John's answer best, saying something about getting laid being what rock and roll is all about, or something. I can, at least, appreciate the naked desperation in Mr. Anderson's plea.
So, congrats John, and if this show doesn't get you laid, you can always try sending flowers.
