Movie theatre lobby. Camera opens on doors leading to auditorium. Marquee above doors reads, "The WaZoo Show!" Usher enters through doors carrying broom and dustpan. He props door open and turns to camera.

Usher

Ladies and gentlemen! We are now seating for "The WaZoo Show!"

Cut to concession stand. Bored popcorn girl leans against counter noisily chewing bubble gum. Her hair is in a perfect ponytail. She blows and pops bubble. Andy approaches counter.

Girl

(Disinterested.) Can I help you?

Andy

Yeah, please. I'd like a large Coke, some Junior Mints and a large popcorn.

Girl

Sorry. We're outta' popcorn.

Andy

Oh. Well, then I'll have a bag of Starbursts, a large Sprite and a large popcorn.

A strand of hair falls across girl's face. She brushes it back.

Girl

Sir, we don't have any popcorn!

Andy
