Problem: Given the question: Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: Who does Hillary Flammond escape from at the ballet?  Nick Rivers, an American rock star, travels to East Germany (which is represented as like Hitler's regime) to perform at a cultural festival, which secretly serves the East German government as a diversion for a military operation with the intent of reuniting Germany under their rule. At a dinner, Nick encounters Hillary Flammond, a member of the local resistance movement, attempting to avoid the authorities. He pretends to be her date to get to know her, and performs an impromptu song and dance, mistakenly thinking he was asked to do so, to the delight of Hillary and the diners but to the annoyance of General Streck, the mastermind of the "reunification" plot. Nick later sees Hillary at a ballet, where she expects to rendezvous with the resistance leader but she is met by the police instead. Nick saves her and they try to escape, but Nick turns himself in so that Hillary can get away. He is taken to a prison where he is questioned and tortured, but he knows nothing and does not break. In an escape attempt, he ends up in the secret prison lab of Dr. Paul Flammond, a brilliant scientist developing the "Polaris naval mine", a device that can destroy the entire NATO submarine fleet as part of the government's plot. The Germans force him to work by threatening to kill his daughter Hillary. Nick is recaptured and scheduled for execution.

input question: Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: What is the full name of the person that Laddie searches for help for?  In Yorkshire, England, at the estate of the Duke of Rudling, the British Army converted the grounds into a training camp for war dogs. The camp is placed under the supervision of Sam Carraclough, the kennel caretaker, who immediately begins the process of selecting the best dogs for training, including Laddie, the young pup of the champion collie, Lassie. Joe Carraclough, now an adult, joins the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Departing for training school, he is forced to leave behind his dog Lassie and her pup, Laddie. Laddie, being considered as a "war dog", follows Joe to training school and then stows away on his master's bomber, just as it takes off on a dangerous mission over Nazi-occupied Norway. The two are forced to parachute when hit by enemy fire. Laddie then seeks help for his injured master. While they are separated, Joe is captured, and the dog is pursued by enemy soldiers. Laddie is sheltered, first by young Norwegian children who find him, and later by a freedom-fighter who is killed. Laddie finally reaches the prisoner-of-war camp where his master had been taken. The German guards use Laddie to seek out his master who had escaped. In his search for Joe, who is forced into a labor detail on a coastal gun emplacement, Laddie is reunited with his master and thereafter the two race for their lives to reach friendly lines as the Nazis pursue them. Finally free, both Joe and Laddie make their way back to the Rudling estate to reunite with Lassie, Sam Carraclough, Joe's father and Priscilla, the Duke of Rudling's granddaughter.???

Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: What are the first names of the people who resort to playing in dive bars?  Hooter College student Chuck has decided academics aren't going to get him anywhere in life, so he's taken to managing a band his classmates have formed called The Splitz, which consists of lead singer Joan, guitarist Gina and drummer Susie.  The Splitz struggle to make a name for themselves and resort to playing in dive bars where the patrons are more interested in boozing and brawling than appreciating the music. The day after a disastrous show, Chuck escorts Gina to her home, where he meets her former-mobster father, who becomes obsessed with the percentage of the band's income that Chuck is claiming.  Chuck also meets Gina's cousin Vinnie,  a sweet but oversexed meathead who can't score a date, so Chuck encourages him to try hypnosis. Meanwhile, the evil Dean Hunta informs the heads of three sororities that they'll have to compete in a trio of events to determine who's going to lose their house to make way for a new sewage treatment plant.  The dean favors Sigma Phi's Lois Scagliani and Delta Phi's Fern Hymenstein and informs them that the Phi Betas have to lose.  When asked if she has an axe to grind with the Phi Beta sorority, the Dean replies that it's "just another act of random, senseless violence perpetrated against the underdogs." At the first competition, a soccer game, Gina is disgusted to see the way that Phi Beta's Midge and her peers are being trampled by their competitors, so she gets into the game herself and the other Splitz quickly follow suit.   Although the Phi Betas lose the game, they gain an all-girl rock band, who immediately become part of their sorority.
