EXT. SESAME STREET
A group of children stand in the middle of Sesame Street. There are no cars because owning a car is a crime punishable by death. The children take turns injecting each other with puberty blockers—the only activity children are allowed to do in this fifteen-minute city. Big Bird enters wearing assless chaps. The children see Big Bird and run over, excitedly. Big Bird lights ten cigarettes in his beak and hands one to each child.
BIG BIRD: Remember, kids, there is no God. There is only the crushing weight of existence.
