(typical 50\'s animation intermission add you would see at a drive-in)
anthropomorphic box of popcorn: his name is Poppy (P)
(P) \"Hey folks - have you visited the snack bar yet?\"
(wide-angle shot of an attractive young girl behind the counter)
back to (P)
(P) \"You really should - you know why?\"
(P) squints his eyes - leans closer:
(P) \"Cause there are commies out there that want to take all the popcorn for themselves!\"
(wide-angle shot of an man (M) in a suit behind a desk)
(M) \"So sadly true Poppy - and it is getting worse everyday.\"
(M) gets up and walks towards the screen:
(M) \"You see, the last war we fought was existential in nature; a kind of \'Dasein-ic\' existentialism if we want to use Heideggerian concepts - but hey, I only have your attention for such a short period of time!\"
(P) is in rapt attention: \"Please go on sir!\"
(M) Smiles paternally: \"Ok Poppy - so here it is folks: this next fight will be fought in the battlefield of the soul - and there are many soulless men out there - kind of like The Hollow Men T.S. Eliot talks about.\"
(P) \"How I hate them!\"
(M) \"And they hate you Poppy - and everything \'we\' stand for.\"
(P) \"Kill them all!\"
(M) \"Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius\" - I could not agree more Poppy!\"
(P) his face is becoming contorted with rage; butter is seeping from his eyes and mouth as if some sort of viral hemorrhagic fever has infected him.
(M) \"Hey there Poppy - go get a nice ice cold soda!\"
(P) \"Sorry sir - it just makes me so mad!\"
(M) \"It just comes down to this - the paradox of trying to live with \'others\' can only be solved if we will kill for that which makes us unique - this is the true doctrine of existence!\"
(P) \"Thank you sir!\"
(M) picks up a box of popcorn and starts to eat it as he smiles - one can hear (P) screaming in pain off screen.
Hey Folks, It\'s Intermission Time!
